Is this game better than Civ 6?

[Bear Malice]

I loved Civ 5, but would love to experience something more. Is Beyond Earth better than Civ 6? The reason I ask is because I've heard a lot of negative things about 6, and don't know if they improved on Beyond Earth since it's last release.

This is the game that convinced me not to buy Civ 6. Any group of developers who would charge $50 for this steaming pile of horsesh!t while looking at you with a straight face could not possibly be able to create a meaningful and satisfying Civ 6. From everything I have read about Civ 6, I am 100% correct.

Some people will argue, "Oh but the DLC makes BE a playable game". No it doesnt. And to those people, I would ask, "If they charged you $80 for the base game, would you have puchased it?" No? Then why would you pay $50 for a bug-ridden, imbalanced, and unimaginative Civ5 space scenario in anticipation of paying another $30 at some point in the future just so the game could be made playable?

To you it doesn't. Many disagree with your opinion. The rest of what you posted was just strawman arguments and hate for the sake of hate.

I and my family like BE.

Might get crap for this but I like BE with the expansion the best out of all them. It's followed closely by 5. Was dissapointed with 6.

Almost me.

BE is best, but I never played #2 or AC. 5 is borderline not worth playing (go figure I reinstalled to give it another chance). Civ 6 i will never play, ever. Just read reviews on it.

5 is ok in that great Scenario Fall of Roman Empire. Awsome game, pity screnario doesnt allow CoOp play. would be really great.

B.e was just to far a step from civ5 for me and the tech tree is a mess

the BE tech tree is much more enjoyable than the straight line "everyone needs the same eventually" thing civ 5 has.

Never played or will play 6.
Otherwise, i agree. i kind of miss the "historical basis" i love in civ games so it takes a little getting used to. Once you've adjusted that expectation, BE (with RT dlc) is imo the best civ game out there.

i was hoping for a alpha centauri re-work and they did it marvelously.

I wouldn't say one is better than the other. Both have a lot more depth than the majority of people give them credit for.

BE offers you "build" freedom through tech/policies/personalities/affinities/unit customization/etc. that's missing in VI. The Quests system, Artifacts minigame, aliens, miasma and outposts are also very different features/mechanics compared to previous titles. You would basically play the game for what makes it unique. The fact that one enjoys it or not is another story.

Civ VI is a purer "Civilization" experience. Its tech tree is almost a copy-paste of precious games'. It does have some mechanics that are very different than those of previous iterations (for the best, imo) but all in all, it's the evolution of Civ V: combat is more tactical (a bit less roflstompy), it has better graphics (whether you enjoy its style or not) and almost every decision implies a high opportunity cost (i.e. districts vs. 3-charge builder vs. Wonder, etc., all of them occupying a hex that is not occupied by something else).

Which brings me to the AI.

AI performance appears to be subpar for both games. Probably due to their complexity. Civ VI even had game breaking AI bugs for the longest time (haven't played it since the big patch that was adressing most of the issues). From my experience though, between both of them, i'd say BE has the upper hand, especially once you've figured out the trade/diplo relationships. It "makes sense"... it's playable, for lack of a better word.

To be fair, if both games would not have had the name "Civilization" attached to them, I am certain that the public's response/opinion would've been a lot more positive. They're not bad games, they were just victims or their own notoriety from the get-go

I actually enjoy rising tide over Civ 5 and Civ 6.

The music, setting, and the flow of the game feels better to me.

[Bubs]

yes, but shhhh, don't mention it here

I agree , Beyond earth is "Like giants in a playground." compared to Civ 6 on alot of stuff(besides music)

[Johnny Wishbone]

I just recently tried this again with Rising Tide dlc and to be honest it feels like a chore to play. CIV 5 and 6 are much better.

[Bass Rokwell]

I honestly love Beyond Earth, if your someone who likes the Avatar movie its closest youill get to that in a game. I hope they'll do a mod at least but want an official content release for it with the Civ 6 engine, I stopped playing Civ 5 completely after Civ BE. Its a personal taste thing but nature vs technology is becoming so much more obvious and relevant in these times that I feel more people will gravitate toward that kind of game in the future. Def give it a try if you want to experience a "real world" scenario humanity will face that we wont live to see in our lifetime. Great prep work for future generations, its something I would want my children to play if I ever get to have any

at this point in the games life cycle, Civilization 6 is vastly superior to both Civ 5 and Beyond Earth.. I would hold off from any purchase until February when they drop the latest Xpan, though

Not even close. BE > Civ 5 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Civ 6.

[Bubs]

yeah, its not even a conversation really. when civ 6 had their update and didn't fix any of the stupid issues, i put it on ignore forever list. maybe if they change the whole thing with new expansion i'll look again. still don't trust to pay more than $10 for whole package though.
