Will I regret installing steam and buying civ IV complete through it?

[OneFootInTheGrave]

yes, he should buy something else on Steam, to feel better he got a bargain. Odds on that game will be better than Civ V as well, no matter what it is.

[Al B. Sure!]

Why are you upset about that, and not the fact you are so poor that $12 matters so much to you?

Umm... I paid $50 for Civ V. It was on sale for $12.

[OneFootInTheGrave]

What a waste!

Still less than I spend on women's lunches when I'm not even trying to date them. And only a loser plays Civ 5 without the 11 pieces of DLC + expansion. Get to it.

I got the Game of the Year edition. It has all the DLC but Korea. I don't need the Koreans.

Whose Game of the Year was Civ 5?

[Dinner]

No doubt a company that got paid by Firaxis/Atari for the honor because no sane person would ever do that.

You're all whiners. Civ 5 is a solid game. If you never played any other Civ game to get used to certain things and Civ 5 was your first, you would absolutely love it. You're ****ing lying to yourself if you think otherwise. There is nothing wrong with the game, only things wrong with it in relation to Civ 4 expectations.

Which is why reviewers love the game because they're looking at the game stand-alone and from the perspective of a general gamer, not a Civ nut comparing it to fully patched with all expansions and mods Civ 4.

And you *****es do know the Steam workshop makes getting mods easy... mods such as ones that return the game back to the old multiple units in one square system, right?

Searching for 'Civilization' on this page didn't find any examples of Civ 5 being "Game of the Year" for anybody:

Coming out the same year as Starcraft II and Mass Effect 2 kind of made getting Game of the Year honors kind of impossible.

What is so great about either of those games that would have made them unbeatable? If Civ5 had been a really good game instead of a pile of mediocrity I don't see what the problem would have been.

Starcraft II


You know I said Starcraft II, right?

If these reviewers are people who have never played any previous version of civ maybe they shouldn't be reviewing a strategy game. If you're claiming that people who have played previous versions of civ can imagine how they would like it if this was their first, well, I imagine that I would think civ5 is a pile of crap.

Starcraft II

Are you saying it's the perfect game?

[Al B. Sure!]

Sorry but you sound like the type that *****es on game forums for every game when it comes out. Nothing is wrong with Civ V. All your complaints sum to 'It's not Civ 4'.
