Founders Edition worth it?

[Bigboss PC Faster]

?

[Real Name]

Yes and no.

[Ghiron]

For some people it is, and others it's not. I bought the basic version.

The way it's priced, you are basically pre-ordering DLC, assuming the DLC is priced at $30 each. If DLC ends up being less than that it's even lower value than I thought.

Depends on your budget.

This game is so well-designed that I have no concerns committing to two years of development starting with the Founders Edition.

Important to note, there is nothing wrong with the base game. It's fully playable. You just won't have as much variety when facing random opponents.

You can always purchase more Civilizations, Leaders, and Wonders when necessary. If you can't afford it right now, it's not a big deal.

Regardless of what you choose to do, you have a long wait for the expansions.

Grab a pillow and remain calm.

Imagine trying to shame someone for asking about other people's opinions.

[Mentally Unstable]

Personally, no. I woundn't mind it if it actually came with actual gameplay expansions like 6's gathering storm.

I think it's worth it if you're a die-hard Civ fan. If you're just a casual player, I'd hold off and just get the regular version.

You can probably pick up the extra content at some later time and maybe if there's a sale, you'll save a few bucks.

He is asking other fans about their opinion, a primary function of forums really.

And yes OP it is worth it if you would have bought the DLC anyway...

well if you take the base game as being worth 60 and they charge an extra 60 for a bit of fluff and a couple of leader/civ/wonder packs you are getting a very small amount of content for the second 60 than you did for the fist. so objectively no its probably not good value.

but its a take it or leave it situation and apparently they are going to be charging 120 a year on these bundles as they seem to be one per quarter and there will be a year one expansion where htey add a missing age and system. my guess is medieval age and religion have been kept back for year one and the info age and espionage for year 2.
and if there willing to charge 30 for a civ pack i wouldnt like to guess on expansion price 50?

[micdy]

i play civ a lot, so for me it is worth it,

For me, a person that have bought the Founder Edition, I'm gonna be honest: No

For $40 USD, you essentially only get 8 new Civs and 2 new leaders, plus a leader/civs if you include Tecumseh and Shawnee dlc. 5 days early access if you want to count that as part of the value of which I personally don't.

The only reason I bought it is because I'm positive I will be playing Civ 7 for a very long time and the additional content would enhanced my experience despite it's price.

tldr: Get it only if you're positive you're going to have a great time playing Civ 7 for a very long time!

thanks for ur honesty but how do you know that you're gonna love it?

Do this, look at your playtime for Civ 6 or 5 if you don't have 6, and divide the price of the edition you are considering, by the hours played on the old version. In my case it was like .50 cents/hr for 6 and .35 cents/hr for 5 just counting my steam playtime. Seems worth it to me, much cheaper than a movie and many more hours of entertainment.

[Foulcher]

It would be worth it it included a future season pass of the real expansions
But cutting the content into small pieces which are just civs or units (so no real mechanics) is just insane

You will regret your purchase
Basic version + real expansions AND if you really really want a specific Civ just buy it later
