PSA: Don't forget that every civ game is an utter bloody mess on launch, wait for dlc and don't waste your time.

[Gladwell]

Just a friendly PSA.

doesn't seem like a friendly psa lol

Where is a yawning emoji when you need one, these kinds of posts have become tiresome. If you choose not to buy/play it at launch, good for you. If you choose to buy/play it at launch, all the same. Plenty of people are eagerly awaiting launch.

He's right.

Civilization VI was an embarrassing launch. And the game never improved. It was unsalvageable from the start.

Which is why this game is such a threat. They revamped the game and fixed every single problem that I can think of, eliminated the defects, and implemented improved mechanics on top of that.

Developers don't often do that. They simply copy-paste a sequel and breed more of the same. Like Creative Assembly does with their mind-numbing series of war games.

This time he, and many others, will be proven wrong. It's Assassin's Creed: Valhalla all over again. Hatred before launch and record-breaking sales when the dust settles.

Gamers are depleted of trust, understandably. They have nothing left to give.

Enter Civilization VII and Assassin's Creed: Shadows.

Those two games will prove a lot of people wrong.

And it'll be fun to watch.

The price of the game is kind of wild considering how much dlc they probably have planned or already lined up. It's EA/Ubisoft levels of greed.

[Howard Roark]

It's to early to predict the game will flop or be a runaway success. They are making some radical changes to the civ formula and it's unknown if it will work for people. Player's will have to see it in action before we know.

But the general point is true, for as long as I can remember each new civ game released to disappointment, only to overtake the previous and become popular after a DLC or two. Given the limited number of civs in each age, as well as the large changes, I think it's likely it will follow the same pattern here.

We'll find out soon enough.

You sound like a city skyline 2 player before launch

I think you need to reread this part of your reply, except slower this time.

Only the first line is correct.

Its 2k, they're practically up there with Ubisoft for price gouging on launch.

The thing is though, Civ has always been a patient gamer's type of game, you can usually grab a series plus its DLC for next to nothing if you're content to wait 6 or so months.

[bshock]

2K is a lot like Ubisoft. A ton of stupid versions at launch at astronomical prices and then 4 months later, deep sales that run every other week.

I really wish to give this post some reward(not clown) but I'm short on point sadly

I still can't believe ubisoft thought a game centered in japan and having the main protagonist be a black guy who hunts down the japanese for sport was a good idea, it already would have been badly recieved in japan and now japan is also dealing with a flood of black and somali nuisance streamers straight up going to japan to rob stores for fun and other rude things.

Don't forget it's not even a good depiction of Yasuke, but one based off the fetish fan fiction novel by a "historian" that went to Japan, saw that there's like two mentions of Yasuke in all of actual Japanese history as a bodyguard, and then wrote a massive book about him being a samurai retainer.

Oh and the African American fetishising by the developers who had remixed American Hip-hop with Japanese instruments as his boss battle music. Because, you know, black is black obviously, no difference between Black Culture in America and African culture from hundreds of years ago, surely.

AC being a poor representation of history is nothing new. iirc Ezio Auditore died with the rest of his family in real life, but in the well received AC2 he went on to beat up a pope shooting magic missiles by duplicating himself with a magic apple, after which he got a magic message from a magic alien.

Stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ series.

As for Yasuke, It's just another smokescreen to try and keep the heat off their sexual predator paradise. Comparing 2K with Ubisoft ain't right. 2K is a whoreson company trying to turn games into cash deposits and children/the vulnerable into gambling addicts. Ubisoft is far, far worse. They'd rather sink their entire company than stop helping rapists.

I've said before, but I think Civ 7 will be good at launch despite 2K, or bad because of 2K. The devs seem to have done a good job, but 2K is definitely gonna try as much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ as possible.

Ezio Auditore was not a real figure. None of the protagonists in the series up until Yasuke himself were real, they were always fabricated. Allegedly, this was the case prior to Yasuke becoming the center along with Naoe, with a protagonist that would have been named Taka. The validity of that claim hasn't been confirmed, but the name would be on point as AC protagonists' names have a tendency to be bird-themed (鷹, たか, taka, which means hawk).

Correct, the guy you replied to does not know that because he does not actually play any of the assassins creed titles enough to even know that every playable character was fake until the shadows disaster.

Its why i get annoyed when devs try to cater to people who do not play their titles and never will.
