Worth buying (60$)

[IRISH_DEVIL13]

i think im going to wait for a sale to get this but i really want to try it out. can anyone recomend this?

[OTIS]

Yes, I strongly recmmend this. I waited for it to go on sale. I paid around 40$ for it. I am still not convinced it was worth it.

This game is not close to as good as Civ V. I strongly recommend that over this one. Cheaper too.

[Darydrus]

Wait for a sale, it's somewhat fun, but not $40-60 fun.

[IRISH_DEVIL13]

damn shame

[cerberusiv]

Should be 50% off the base game in the Fall sale. Wait until you can get it for that price. Then it is worth trying.

[John]

No, the base game truly is not worth it for that price. You might wanna wait untill they get a decent bundle with a 75% sale. Might take a few years, but it really isn't worth 60 bucks. An unfinished product in which they fix bugs and incompetence by letting you buy dlc and expansions instead of just making a patch, also the dlc is highly overpriced.

Just play civ 5 until they have a finished product for a regular price.

Patches are free for all, fixes are not in the DLC, but in the patches.
If you don't like the game, that's fine, but announcing inaccuracies to rant is just low.

Also, I do think the game is worth it. It's different. Just like 5 was different from 4.
Besides that, it has all the mechanics in one form or another from Civ5 complete with the exception of the World Congress.

what they are saying is true!

I Think no game in the world is worth 60 bucks not even 50. but If you wait you can get some nice games cheaper and with less bugs but I am not saying it is easy to wait for it ;-)

I pre-ordered the game including all minor dlc and it was worth my money. I then pre ordered the R&F-Add On and it's still the best iteration of the game so far i bought in my opinion. After all, i've paid around 98€, but compared to my playtime, it's just ~0,42€ per hour and it will definitely go further down until Civ7 will be released. I've played many other great AAA games, which even didn't come close to that low prize/hour ratio.

But well, it's impossible to say, if other people like the game like i did, as opinions are always subjective, so you've to make up your opinion by yourself, either through reviews or by using the 2 hours in which you can refund the game.

OCTOBER SALE IS COMING UP SOON

[Stamford]

Dont buy it. Even at under a tenner. The game is borderline broken.

[Twelvefield]

On sale, this game is okay. It is a good turn-based time-waster.

You must be new to gaming. Civ is a 4X game.

Opinions may be subjective, but if a game does consistently worse in playerbase than its predecessor, something is up. Or rather, down.

You must be new to Civ then. Civ4 did worse then Civ3 when it was released until it got BtS.
Civ5 did way much worse then Civ4 when it was released until after BNW was out there.

I see no reason why that would change with Civ6, seeing as it has the highest potential in any civ game to this date.

[King Link]

I'd say grab Civ 5 with all the expansions, I threw 80+ hours into that one and really liked it.

Working on my first game on this one and I am finding it horribly long winded and dull. 60 is too much for it in my opinion, but I think no matter what, if you don't already have civ 5 and the expansions, go get those.
