Game to Discuss?

Westerado: Doubled Barreled is this week's game. Originally a flash game, it fortunately escaped to Steam, which is fortunate, because it has an impressive degree of fidelity, considering the pixelslop aesthetic. In it, you are tasked with avenging your family blah blah blah, except the killer can be any one of the many NPCs who you otherwise interact with, with clues drip fed across it's (admittedly) brief length. Discuss below in the comments, and vote in the linked comment. It also appears that I forgot to post a vote for Call of Duty last week, you can find the vote for that in the pinned comment.

The first civ I got into was 3. 4 is literally the best, largest modding scene and most complex multiplayer meta. There is still new stuff being discovered whereas 5 has been pretty much "solved" and has a rigid early tech line

You probably never watched that scene in "Conundrum" in TNG season 5 where Riker and Ensign Ro were about to the frick and and got kind of confused about sexuality in the early 1990s.

The old man brought home Civilization and I was looking over his shoulder (c. 1992). I swear I can still remember almost every turn in that game. He was the Americans and on his continent there was some hostile civilization to the east. He had to decide between building a militia and a phalanx. I couldn't understand what the frick the phalanx icon was supposed to be. It looked like a guy had a plant growing out of his head. There weren't a lot of pixels to work with back then.

I'm glad someone finally has an opinion on the games I'm running :marseyindignant: 4 works for me, though what's so bad about 5? It's the best Civ I've played (I've only played I, V, and VI).

Here's a :gigachadautisttyping: essaypost about it

https://www.sullla.com/Civ5/whatwentwrong.html

Mostly it's 1UPT. 1UPT simply does not work for a Civilization level abstraction and the benefit of adding a "tactical" element is actually a detriment. Global Happiness is cancer too. + a bunch of other shit.

Genuinely I do think 4 would make for a better topic bc there is a much richer modding scene with many mods still in development :marseyautism:

Did Civ 5 ever get any good total conversion mods? I don't remember any from when it was still the newest Civ.

Rhye is actually still working on a Rhye's and Fall from Civ 5 but I haven't tried it yet. He also says he wants to port it over to Civ 7, but time will tell if that's actually feasible.

Vox Populi is I believe the closest thing. Civ5 RfC was a neat surprise but it's affected by all of the faults of Civ5, especially with how much irl ground a tile is supposed to take up on a scaled Earth map. My favorite thing is that an archer in northern France can shoot arrows to hit britbong units across the English Channel :marseystroke:

Yeah one thing you have to understand about Civ is that this goes way back. Even Civ 1 was totally ripping off its combat system from Empire which goes back to the 1970s.

(Boomer story about Empire: I heard a podcast where the guy who made this game was interviewed. His day job was for the Air Force planning which places to nuke in Russia. He was asked what he thought of the movie Wargames.

The sense of :#marseyunamused: was so thick you couldn't cut it with a cleaver.)

Anyway my point is for frick's sake do not try to reinvent the wheel. These things like how to do combat in a strategy game, these were figured out literally before we were born by people smarter than us.

Civ V: The Only Civilization Game That Matters, All Others Can Suck It

Alright, listen up, you uncultured swines. I'm about to lay down some truth bombs about why Civilization V (Civ V) is the pinnacle of gaming, and why every other Civ game can go straight to the trash bin, where they belong. Buckle up.

Civ V: A Masterpiece of Modern Gaming

First off, let's talk about graphics. Civ V came out looking like a god darn renaissance painting compared to its predecessors. Civ IV looked like something your little brother would scribble with crayons. Civ V? It's like they hired Michelangelo to design each tile. The hex grid? Revolutionary. It's like someone finally had the guts to tell the world, "Square tiles are for squares!" The hex system made strategy deeper than your average incel's basement dwelling.

Now, gameplay. Civ V took the series from a bland, turn-based strategy game to a dynamic, living world where your choices actually matter. The introduction of one-unit-per-tile turned the game into a chessboard where every piece had weight. Remember those stacks of doom in earlier games? Yeah, Civ V laughed at that concept and said, "Nah, let's make players think for once." Every move counts, every unit placement can turn the tide of war or diplomacy.

AI? In Civ V, it actually exists. Unlike Civ IV where the AI had the strategic acumen of a goldfish, Civ V's AI can sometimes give you a run for your money. Sure, they might still have their moments of sheer stupidity, but at least they're not just sitting there waiting for you to steamroll them. This makes the game challenging, and not in that "I'm banging my head against the wall" way, but in a "I might actually lose this if I don't play my cards right" way.

Modding. Oh, the modding. Civ V opened up like a cheap hooker on a Saturday night to modders. The community created content that not only extended the game's lifespan but made it so diverse you could play something new every time. From mods that add new civilizations to those that change the entire gameplay mechanics, Civ V became a canvas for creativity. Civ VI tried, but let's be real, it's like comparing a crayon drawing to an oil painting.

Civilization VI - The Disappointment

Now, let's talk about the abomination known as Civ VI. What were they thinking? They took everything beautiful about Civ V and decided to make it more "accessible". Districts? More like "distractions". The game became so convoluted, trying to be all things to all players, that it lost its soul. Civ V was elegant; Civ VI is a gaudy mess. The UI looks like it was designed by someone who just discovered the color wheel. And don't get me started on the AI in VI, which feels like it regressed back to Civ IV levels of brain damage.

The Early Games - Civ I to IV, Pure Garbage

Going back further, Civ I was like playing chess with pieces made of cardboard. Civ II? Slightly better, but still felt like you were navigating through a DOS command prompt. Civ III? More of the same with a bit of color. Civ IV was the first to show some promise, but it was like a beta version of Civ V - a rough draft of what could be.

Why Civ V Stands Alone

Cultural Victory: Civ V made cultural victories feel like you were actually spreading your culture, not just building a bunch of theaters.

Diplomacy: The diplomacy was nuanced, with leaders having personalities and agendas, making each game feel unique.

Soundtrack: The music in Civ V is like an epic saga playing in the background, making every moment feel monumental.

The Community Agrees

Just look at the forums, the discussions, the mods. Civ V is still the game that people come back to, that people mod, that people obsess over. Civ VI might have its fans, but it's like comparing a candle to the sun.

In Conclusion

Civilization V isn't just the best in the series; it's arguably the best games ever made, period. It refined strategy gaming, made every decision count, and did so with style and grace. The other Civ games? They're just pale imitations, trying to capture lightning in a bottle that Civ V already owns. If you haven't played Civ V, you're not just missing out; you're living in a lesser reality. Get with the program, or stay in the trash heap with the rest of the garbage games.

Long live Civ V, and may all other Civs rot in obscurity.
