https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYry-kvC8u4Predictably, they are adding the option to play as one Civilization through an entire campaign, play any Civilization in any age, and dumping the Legacy Path system.
Unless Sid Meier personally visits Harriet Tubman's grave and takes a dump on it as an apology for this abortion of a game i shan't buy.
wow, they should have done that IMMEDIATELY WHEN STARTING DEVELOPMENT
>>732187445What a bunch of tools
Impressive it took them a year to discover what people liked for decades.
Unfortunately too little too late. They are trying to chase the people that will never bother getting into the game while ignoring the few who actually enjoyed the core game as it is. It's a lose-lose for everyone and they deserve it.
>>732187445I still wonder how you can fuck up something that badly after decades of decent iterationsDid they change the team in charge of designing the mechanics? Did someone important leave the company? I want to know.
So, there's no reason to play this garbage over 6 now? Even if it was a shitty game, it did its own thing. Now it's just a worse civ 6
>>732190276I believe the success of Total War and Paradox kiked-to-the-max DLC policies is partially to blame. They saw the success of the other big honchos in the strategy genre and tried to emulate this behavior with games designed for shareholders.
>>732187445>they are adding the option to play as one Civilization through an entire campaign, play any Civilization in any age, and dumping the Legacy Path system.That took a YEAR to figure out?
>>732190413>They saw the success>Creative AssemblyThey hemorrhage money though?
>>732190469They started development on the game before CA had all those massive fuck ups. They only saw how you can fleece the cattle with infinity DLC so they made Civ game that is primarily a DLC pipeline.
>>732187445she cute
>>732190627>before CA had all those massive fuck ups.Does your knowledge of CA only end at Warhammer 2?
>>732187445Dingbats, the lot of them.
7 is just an even worse (vanilla) 5.Mid to bad, released after a near universally praised prior game, its only hope to jo being relegated as "the bad one" is to release expansions/free updates that revamp or mitigate major issues with the mechanics.Then again it also has woke shit slathered on top like a vaseline mad of shit, so I don't really give a shit.
>>732190920No, but the investors knowledge does.
>>732187445Can I also dump retarded non leaders like tubman? Who am I kidding, this game looked so shit that I'm never touching it.
>>732187445How'd they make such a waifu in a game this heavily into "looking correct"?
>>732187445>>732188774>>732190031>>732190276Did you guys stuck around for Civ 7 up until now? Can someone that has been playing the game since launch tell me if these changes are good enough to make me bother trying the game? The constant civ, sure, but what about the other two things?
whys bro brown and doesn't have 50 swords
>>732195713people bitched that the winning conditions were shit and boring, they're changing that too
>>732195982Well, I remember cultural victory in Civ VI being boring as hell, it was just band spamming until someone got more culture than another civ. How did that change in Civ VII?
>>732195947Because Firaxis is based in America, not Japan.
>>732190627>fleece the cattleYou milk the cattle and fleece the sheep, city boy
>>732187445Reminder it’s not just the age transitions and the woke. The game is horrifically underbaked and remains clunky and buggy (DEI, outsourcing, competency crisis, baked/stoned aloof tenured overpaid senior devs who are friends with management).On top of this, the basic design of Civ 7 is incredibly boring as shit. Theres almost no actual meaningful choice.In principle, the age transitions might have been cool
>>732193173Without workers it transforms from a game about developing the Earth for civilization into almost like an idle click phone game
Don't care, i'll play IV until the apocalypse.
>>732198116I like that one of the core reasons for the meta progression system is that people weren't finishing their Civ 6 games enough. They didn't think that maybe people don't actually need to finish their games to have a good time, and instead they just ended up disincentivizing people from playing different leaders and experimenting.
>>732195947such a downgrade
>>732188313I still wish they would have added Nat Turner instead of her. Would've fulfilled the same DEI checkbox. >significantly more influential on American history even if he's not as widely known>was an actual leader by himself and not just a military irregular
>>732187445unironically how could they think during the entire development that being forced to play as multiple Civs would be anything but a sales drain
>>732188313>>732188774>>732190160Thanks for proving appeasement doesn’t work.
>pale brown haired girls with blue eyesmy one weakness
>>732187445If she's so great why are her boobs so small?
>>732199980if people play 3x as much civs as before they're 3x as likely to buy DLCthat's literally the entire reason behind it
>>732199980They thought that people liked Humankind for some reason
>>732187445>still don't just admit they fucked upEnjoy your 6k players
>>732195947This is quite simply not my Gilgamesh.
>>732195947This version of Gilgamesh looks like he'd invite your to "board game night" with his girlfriend, only to serve nothing but vegan snacks and then pull out the cuck chair 50 minutes into a game of Catan
How could my man Sid let this happen to his game?
Finally, I can play the whole game as Buganda.
>>732187445I appreciate the changes, but I'm still not buying.
>>732200120That was already proven after the 1960s considering white people born today still have to suffer for the protected classes. Glad you're finally seeing this as well.
>>732199035It's just concrete evidence that the devs don't actually play their game.
>>732187445They should have given her enormous tits like the Civ 5 Catherine
>>732187445wow
>>732187445They're not charging for it? Going to be honest, that wasn't on my bingo card. I've been predicting they were going to tie-in this ability to a full-priced $59.99 expansion.
>>732200120They still have denuvo, which makes them faggots. Will not buy
>>732200120>make a complete dog shit game>make it marginally less dog shit>it's still dog shit>WOW, THERE'S NO PLEASING YOU PEOPLE WHY EVEN BOTHER?
>>732213869>I've been predicting they were going to tie-in this ability to a full-priced $59.99 expansion.They burned too much goodwill with 7, too risky to go for such a semitic play.
>>732187445every since this game released, firaxis have done nothing but build alternatives to each new feature 7 introduced
>>732187445I've already been burned, I'll keep playing Civ6 till 8 comes out
>>732187445It's dead, Jim.No matter how much you backpedal, people won't switch games at this point. It would be best to cut the losses and go for Civ 8.
>>732204701>and then pull out the cuck chair 50 minutes into a game of Catanexcept he isn't white
>>732187445Has she got porn yet?
>>732187445Where are her breasts? Women have breasts.
>Civ 5 is overrated, I'll keep enjoying civ 4>Civ 6 ruined the series, I'm not dropping civ 5>Civ 7 in literally unplayable, they should've just kept what made civ 6 great>Civ 8...
>>732195947>no six hands>no Enkidu>no big bridge>no yoooooooooo.wavno buy
It's fucking absurd how easily this could all have been avoided.>At the end of each age you're forced to pick your civ for the next age>Always give players the choice to remain who they are instead of swapping>New cultures have powerful bonuses to tempt you, while staying the same gives you less powerful bonusesYou've effectively kneecapped the Chud's arguments by saying that of course you can play the same civ the whole game, but most people will use the mechanic as intended. Unfortunately, that doesn't force people into accepting that their culture is easily changeable and equal to all others, so they wouldn't do it. The Message was the point, the game was designed to fit that agenda.>>732195947ghastly
>>732195947doesn't look african enoughhope firaxis goes bankrupt for this slight
>>732187445Bratty Empress
Lil late ain't it
>>732187445Why's she so sassy?
>>732187445Wow, who could have foreseen this?
>>732187445
>>732187445cute queen
>>732187445Too little, too late.
>>732187445*blocks your path*
>>732228103das rite
>>732216668basically, yes
>>732206590Nothing lasts forever. Besides how old is Sid Meier?
>>732190469CA fuckups are due to trying to fund things like Hyenas, if they didn't do such project, CA would be in a much better place financially
>>732228103WHAT were they THINKING?
what the hell is going on at Firaxis?
>>732187445I really don't give a fuck what those trannies do. Let rosa parks be the next American leader announced for all I care
>>732204606I hated on civ vi's character design when it first came out but honestly it's the best in the series
