I can only confidently guarantee that the prostitute you end up making tender love to (lol) will shower longer than she usually does after your 5 shameful minutes of disappointing her
It's very good, with the expansions that is. Even now it feels like a great game with it's own set of mechanics. I tried civ6 but could not get used to the art style. Since they now released a civ6 mod to get Civ5 graphics I might give it a try.
I've only played 5, but from what I've seen in gameplay 5 and 6 are similar enough for it to be down to preference. Easier to play wide in 6, unit stacking is back in 6, a bit less variation in units to build, small things like that.
I fully support the end of Valve's monopoly on PC video games, but Epic's game store is a pile of steaming garbage. It's like they looked at all of the things that made Steam so popular and decided that they were too good for that.
Their sales have been shit for years at this point, and everything other than double authentication is barely used.
User reviews - less reliable than IGN
Forums - mostly dead for anything but the popular games
Mods - shitty platform way outdone by nexus
Let's not even go in to the shitty marketplace model and facilitating underage gambling until it genuinely started gaining attention from lawmakers.
Chat and voicechat:
Beyond a friends list (and even then voicechat is useless since discord is the got to and TS/skype/ventrilo before that) there is exactly zero functionality I want. What's the point of profiles other than to get yet another god damn trade offer. And if the profile is private then again- what's the point?
This is pretty standard tbh. Pcgaming especially is probably the worst gaming sub on this site (that's unless you still consider KiA to be gaming related).
It's like they took the most insufferable traits of every other sub and combined it all into one userbase.
Good. Fuck you, Epic Games. I don't care if you put your game on Origin, just don't sign exclusivity deals.
You wanna out your game on the Epic Games Store, Itch.io, Steam and GOG? Be my guest.
You happen to only launch on one of those but weren't paid to do so? Shame, my preferred platform is Steam and I refuse to use Chinese spyware, and Linux support is a must for me, but fair enough.
You sign an exclusivity deal? With any of these stores? Don't know about that one chief.
It just so happens Epic are the only ones splashing the cash to get these exclusives.
Having said that, because Steam is my preferred platform, and because they are feature rich, well established, have good business practises, good relationship with open source, continue to innovate, and a whole multitude of other reasons, I'm more ok with games that just happen to only be on Steam. Itch.io is really nice too for DRM free games and has a nice UI. I'm not "oNlY lAuNcH oN sTeAm", I think the more stores a developer launches on the better. For consumers (choice) and developers (audience).
Epic want to create a monopoly in their favour, and once Fortnite dies they're gonna shoot that revenue split up to 70/30. At least Valve use the bigger revenue cut to invest in Steam, Steam Hardware (Controller, Steam Machine experiment, SteamOS, Proton, Index, etc).

I bought Anno 1800 from the UPlay thingy. Itβs a bit annoying but itβs not the end of the world.

Who fucking devotes 2250 hours to DoTA? I don't care if that's not a lot by relative standards thats over 56 weeks of working a full time job.
1 tHeSiD 2019-05-06
I have 2000 hrs too almost, I usually spectate games and sometime leave the client open overnight etc. Gametime is usually 50%

Is Civ 5 good? Would it feel dated?

Nope, doesn't feel dated at all. Civ 6 is really just a slightly different game with a more cartoonist style. Plus 5 has the better OST.
1 yung_fatwa 2019-05-06
I haven't played civ since 3. In terms of mechanics, which is better, in your opinion?

Monopolies are bad but exclusives are even worse. Steam isn't even an anti-consumer monopoly considering all their sales and shit.

What's funny is that this is a fake article that uses a reddit post as a source

No gamer thread is complete without some casual racism.

Some unknown non-english site that cites reddit as a source. π€’Gamersπ€’ are getting pretty desperate.

It funny that at the end he cites shit that failed literally saying Steam take a bath gger cut to throw it down the trash.
The controller is the only thing that sorta sold decently but even that is forgotten. Steam OS? Dead, Steam Machines? Monumentally flopped and dead.
r/games is literally 12 yo mentality circle jerk.
