Civ5 release was horrible, it would crash on most pcs after 200 turns, it took months to fix all the bugs and crashes.What was wrong with previous editions? I have hundreds of hours in Civ 5.
Why not wait until the day the game comes out then buy it? Pre-ordering games is the main reason we get shit games at release. They get paid up front, then give us half of what is promised. If noone preordeered a game they would make damn sure the game was perfect on launch day and not tear it apart and give us half later in dlc.I have about 500 hours in Civ5 and have been playing the Civs since I was a kid. I'll be pre-ordering this one.
That being said I can fully agree that vanilla Civ5 was bad. The original developer was canned and then later gave a pretty candid interview where he admitted he made a lot of poor decisions. If I recall, the guy from Civ4 came in and did the following expansions. I'm hoping it's that guy who's heading up this iteration of the game too. I wish I could find the article that talks about this.
As for that screenshot, it looks a bit too cartoony for my tastes, I'm hoping they make it look better. For all its faults, Civ5 has a bit of a timeless feel, even for a game that came out in 2010.
I don't think the lack of pre-orders will suddenly cause the developers to invest more $$ into the game. Yes the vanilla Civ5 was bad, but pretty much everything else strictly Civ has been pretty good in my opinion (I never played BE, I heard it wasn't all that great). And the guy who did the expansions in Civ5 which made that game really good did this game from start to finish, so that's worth something to me.Why not wait until the day the game comes out then buy it?

Who is he and what role did he play in Beyond earth?The designer the the Civ 5 expansions is at least at the helm from the start this time, so it will probably be better at release than Civ5 was
I'm sure if everyone who was genuinely unhappy about Civ 5: Nothing would not touch Civ 6 for a year, a message will be received.I don't think the lack of pre-orders will suddenly cause the developers to invest more $$ into the game.

I'm not preodering it months ahead, I'll wait a bit closer to release, but it's pretty likely I'm going to be buying this game and all the DLC either way. I may as well get a deal on it doing the preorder deluxe edition.
It wouldn't have to be sudden though.I don't think the lack of pre-orders will suddenly cause the developers to invest more $$ into the game.
Yeah, at least CIV V...in my mind.. Is infinitely playable...especially if you don't allow Shaka to be in the game.I am sure Civilization VI: The Complete Edition would be a great game, you just have to wait a bit first while continue to play Civ IV & V...
That's the whole thing isn't it?I am sure Civilization VI: The Complete Edition would be a great game, you just have to wait a bit first while continue to play Civ IV & V...
If you didn't get any xpacs I can understand why you didn't like Civ 5. Civ 5 at release was a joke, and there's a reason that developer was replaced. A lot of the complaints about a lack of variety in the upper levels of difficulty are a result of the things he put in place with the base game. The expansions did make it into an enjoyable experience for me though, especially BNW.It wouldn't have to be sudden though.
Civ really lost me on their last one. Didn't even get any of the xpacs.
I cannot speak for anyone else, but I am guessing it's Civ 5 original launch combined with Beyond Earth being just as (More) shitty than Civ 5. So really that's two games on the Sid Meier label.If you didn't get any xpacs I can understand why you didn't like Civ 5.

BE seemed like a Civ 5 reskinning, it didn't look or feel like Alpha Centauri which I loved so I never bothered.
That being said, those that will wait for all the expansions for Civ6, are you saying that solely based on your experience from Civ5 or did you find the base games of Civ 4 and 3 to be lacking? I found them to be solid games even without their expansions.
If they've lost your trust based on the one experience of Civ5 that's your choice to make, just wondering if there is more of a pattern there. If not, I could give a personally beloved franchise a bit of a pass on one misstep.
