Eyes on Civilization V (ZTGD)

Via ZTGD, "Hello, my name is Cat, and I need just one more turn.

"If you’re a longtime Civ fan like me, Civ V will do much to impress and delight you. Notably, it seems to learn from recent forays into the casual. Don’t worry, you still get your same level of control and detail (and then some), and this bold new Civ does much to lure more gamers into our fold."

Sidenote: "Cat writes, 'Hello, my name is Cat...'"
There's an echo in here! :)

Back on topic... The water graphics in Civ V are incredible! I'm glad they changed to hex tiles and made is so you couldn't stack units! Lots of great changes to balance gameplay have gone into this game!

Darn you, Will! :P Heads up: there's no Trophies in this game.

I'll buy this game as soon as i get me some cash

beardpapa5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

i would buy this as soon as I can on Steam (they even have it preorder) but only once they port it to mac. It's just not the same playing on a win7 10 inch netbook nor bootcamping to it (since that's all I have atm). In the meantime, I'm still terrorizing the neighboring empires in Civ4.

Cat5054d ago

@beard - yeah, I'll be bootcamping. It isn't the same but I lack the necessary patience!

sid4gamerfreak5054d ago

I love the CIv franchise as well. I will definitely be getting this brilliant game...

spandexxking5054d ago

i love me some civs
*3AM* "just. one. more. turn!"

Aphe5054d ago

Oh yeah it is absolutely deadly for that. Going to work after sleeping for two hours because you've been playing Civ all night, and then getting home and doing the same again. Can't wait for the new one, but I might have to book a few days off when it releases :P

I know the shame. Not this game but I have about 5 different games with humiliating time in them.

sadraiden463d ago (Edited 463d ago )

It's about 4-5 hours a day, every day since launch.

Edits: bad math initially.

How ideas of civilisation have shaped gaming

Philip Boyes:
When I was a kid, I played a lot of Civilization 2. I played a lot of strategy games in general, but having a deep love of both history and sci-fi, the epic sweep of Civ 2 from prehistory to the stars held a particular appeal. I loved taking my little people from their huts and ziggurats to the world of science and advanced space-flight.
