The civ games are great, so long as you only play single player. After all the trouble I had with Civ V multiplayer, there's no way I'm getting another Civ game unless I see reviews saying that it actually works.

I've only done multiplayer a few times in the earlier versions of Civ.  Don't have a real desire to do it.

I'm really hoping that this is really Alpha Centari 2 because that game was awesome.  Really loved the unit customization.


Final Countdown is awesome!

I played a lot of multiplayer Civ 4 - it's fun but takes forever

I will get it I am sure, but for now I pre-purchased Far Cry 4.

For fuck's sake, it doesn't have a borderless window option.  It is bullshit in this day in age.

I am still on the fence with this one. One side I like the spacy theme; the other I've put in 30 min of play time in Civ 5 (compared to 300+hours in Civ 2)

Got through my first game last night.


Overall it is fun and when I get more time in a few weeks I'm looking forward to playing more.

Play any online multiplayer? The only reason I would buy this game is to play MP with friends across the country, and from what I've read on a few forums it sounds as if the online is as bad if not worse than Civ 5. And trying to play civ 5 online was the most frustrating experience of my gaming career.

So no :D


The quests are kinda nice and really help guide you to a particular victory condition.
