I don’t buy civ games until they release all the DLC. Since CIV 5 it seems like they have released unfinished games that lack major game mechanics on launch and the game only gets finished through DLC.
Poor adoption and sales with CIV 7 is their own fault. They have conditioned the market to wait for the DLC.

I have a friend who was laid off from there today. Definitely feel bad for them.

Stop supporting 2K shit.
I’ve been saying this for years. And nobody listens.
TipRing@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
I listened. I bought Civ6, hated it, didn’t get any of the predatory DLC and went back to Civ4. Didn’t give Civ7 so much as a glance. Sad to hear it went downhill from 6 though.

Yup, without Luigi there to kill the bugs it’s been pretty tough I suppose.
Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
I think some of the DLC is what made Civ6 eventually tolerable. But that’s already a bad sign.

This. Fuck 2K Games, quit buying their shitty EA level titles and move on.

20 years ago I had a boss that always held his pens in his mouth.
So one day, when I was the only guy in the office, I took all his pens, and one by one stuck them up my butt.
Then I put them back in his cup.

What did your boss do to deserve this?
I mean, what specifically?

Game devs really have to keep their CVs ready at anytime given how uncertain their jobs are.

I guess they built a mine over a monument

If you’re a game developer, it’s probably best to avoid big devs. Go indie instead.

Anyone actually playing 7? I know of no one personally, and I’ve played them all religiously
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It shipped with Denuvo and I don’t pay for malware. It’s the first Civ game I haven’t bought at launch. I’m including the original.
Ugurcan@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
It doesn’t have Hot Seat either. I instantly refunded when I realized that. How the hell a Civ game have multiplayer but not hot seat?

That’s about as expected. As a big fan of civ, it just looked like a worse version of 6, which was a worse version of 5.
Only reason for the bigger playercount of 6 i because of Sean Bean’s incredible narration.

Honestly that’s just how Civ has been for the past few releases, most people don’t get it until the typical set of 2 major expansion packs come out and eventually go on sale. The base price of the full package has always been crazy high.

Well they removed the ability to play as “A civilization” in the game called “Civilization” so yeah everyone I know has swore off it.

It still amazes me they took the worst feature from Humanity and made it worse.

Yes and no. If you want to play China you can play as the various Chinese incarnations from beginning to end.
Walk_blesseD@piefed.blahaj.zone 20 hours ago
Yeah, I like it. It's definitely an unfinished product and lacking a lot of content and polish atm, but it's got the bones of a good game. Absolutely not worth the current asking price tho
Justas@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Nah, 4 is still the best.
comador@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
Beyond the Sword with Leonard Nemoy narrating of course.

Nah, 5 is still the goat.
zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 16 hours ago
Yeah they lost me on 6 and 7 looks to go even further in that direction

I gave up after the 20th bug I encountered. (Yes I kept track.)
Bademantel@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I mean why play an unfinished game? The radical changes sound interesting to me but it needs at least two add-ons to flourish, the same old story as with 5 and 6. I can wait and pick up the complete experience for half the price if that ever sees the light of day after the layoffs.
CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
I played through exactly one full game, and it just felt… pointless, I guess? Like I was just clicking through turns to get to the end and none of it mattered. Then it told me I’d lost and was like “K” and then played Civ VI for a bit.
BombOmOm@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Naw, 5 and 6 are where it is at.
Nelots@piefed.zip 1 day ago
Nah, 2 was the series peak.
AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 1 day ago
Nah, I didn’t even bother. I only play 5 & 6.
iMastari@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Naw, 1 was the GOAT. The full game, no DLC, one price.
