Anyone actually playing 7? I know of no one personally, and I’ve played them all religiously

That’s about as expected. As a big fan of civ, it just looked like a worse version of 6, which was a worse version of 5.
Only reason for the bigger playercount of 6 i because of Sean Bean’s incredible narration.

I bet proportionally more DRM-free buyers play 5 and 4 too.

Just want a version that is strategic-view only

You can play Unciv on mobile I guess, I don't see why you would want a strategic view only though? Nothing stopping you just using that mode exclusively yourself.

Honestly that’s just how Civ has been for the past few releases, most people don’t get it until the typical set of 2 major expansion packs come out and eventually go on sale. The base price of the full package has always been crazy high.

We will see. 'Cause for all Civ 6’s (and every Civ’s) controversy, this feels different… It’s like people have forgotten 7.

Well they removed the ability to play as “A civilization” in the game called “Civilization” so yeah everyone I know has swore off it.

It still amazes me they took the worst feature from Humanity and made it worse.

Yes and no. If you want to play China you can play as the various Chinese incarnations from beginning to end.

Nah, 4 is still the best.
comador@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Beyond the Sword with Leonard Nemoy narrating of course.

There are also a bunch of mods, including the total conversion ones.

Yeah, I like it. It's definitely an unfinished product and lacking a lot of content and polish atm, but it's got the bones of a good game. Absolutely not worth the current asking price tho
warm@kbin.earth 1 day ago
Nah, 5 is still the goat.

I gave up after the 20th bug I encountered. (Yes I kept track.)
Bademantel@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I mean why play an unfinished game? The radical changes sound interesting to me but it needs at least two add-ons to flourish, the same old story as with 5 and 6. I can wait and pick up the complete experience for half the price if that ever sees the light of day after the layoffs.

I played through exactly one full game, and it just felt… pointless, I guess? Like I was just clicking through turns to get to the end and none of it mattered. Then it told me I’d lost and was like “K” and then played Civ VI for a bit.
BombOmOm@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Naw, 5 and 6 are where it is at.
Nelots@piefed.zip 1 day ago
Nah, 2 was the series peak.
AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 1 day ago
Nah, I didn’t even bother. I only play 5 & 6.
iMastari@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Naw, 1 was the GOAT. The full game, no DLC, one price.

It shipped with Denuvo and I don’t pay for malware. It’s the first Civ game I haven’t bought at launch. I’m including the original.
Ugurcan@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It doesn’t have Hot Seat either. I instantly refunded when I realized that. How the hell a Civ game have multiplayer but not hot seat?
Prathas@lemmy.zip 23 hours ago
Might it get added later, hopefully?
Ugurcan@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
I won’t buy promises anymore, sorry.
