I've heard good things, except the same complaint everyone has about every Marvel movie: forgettable villain.

Activision revived Sierra to do smaller budget titles by indie developers. If they put up say 5 million, and Obsidian ran a Fig campaign to get another 5 from outside investors and crowdfunding, they may be able to pull off a decent sequel with minimal risk from Activision (compared to say spending 200 million on another Call of Duty.)

Denerim still wasn't as disappointing as the city of Orlais. It was supposed to be the largest city in Thadus, but boiled down to a single small level. At least Denerim is kinda explained away by Ferelden being a poor backwards country. Denerim at least did a better job of portraying your visit to the city as limited to small parts, Val Royeaux didn't even let you see any landmarks. This is the capital of the most powerful nation on Thedas, center of the Chantry, and you don't even get to see the Imperial Palace, the White Spire, or the Grand Cathedral in the background.

ISTP-A, Virtuoso

I think they were just approved to allow people to buy game shares for small investors.

So after a few more days with Civ6 I definitely like it more than 5,and aspects of it more than 4.the way religion works I like a lot, but natural spread seems broken. The policy system is way better than the civics system of Civ 5, and more realistic than governments from civ 4. The one unit per tile seems less restrictive than civ 5 too, with allowing 1 unit per type.

Anyone here a lootcrate subscriber? A couple months back was a Star Trek themed one came with a code for some goodies for Star Trek Online. Anyone have that code still and are willing to part with it?

I had Civ 6 and Star Trek Online going at the same time last night. Dual monitors, played Civ while waiting to travel or respawn in STO, played STO while waiting for next turn in Civ.

ShadySands was super nice and gave me a copy of Civ 6. I am definitely liking it more than Civ 5. The district system i interesting, makes your cities look a little more natural, as the farms and such get pushed out to the outer bits of your cities, and you can't build every building in them, so not every city ends up pretty much the same. It's now nearly 4 am and I have to get up in 4 hours. One more turn...

Son of a... damned treacherous English. We were friends, had open borders, she liked my devotion to tech and that I was on the same continent as her, then she flooded my lands with units and declared a surprise attack.

Well, first impressions, disappointed in the lack of white male leaders. The Patriarchy is woefully underrepresented. I went with Frederick Barbarossa of the German Empire in order to maximize whiteness and Patriarchy. Loading screen and.... Sean effing Bean is the narrator?! As much as I liked Leonard Nimoy in Civ 4, this is even better. Ok, first order of business. I go into Graphics settings to try to change it to windowed full screen and all my graphics options are locked. So I exit to main and fix that so I can write this as I play. Load times when starting a new game or loading are awful. But its been that way since CivIV so I can deal with it. Start the game, freaking tundra, screw that heading north. Woah... I can't cross rivers, thats going to make things interesting... ok, now I can cross the river... I'm confused. So I found my capital of Aachen on some wheat after taking the roundabout way, my warriors are off exploring. One thing I miss about the square grid is using the number keys to move. I start building another warrior for defense and research animal husbandry to take advantage of the sheep and cows around my city. Looking at the map now, it appears that there are rocks in rivers indicating where you can cross. I actually like that. Met my first other civ, the English. I got a boost to researching Writing by meeting them. Thats kind of interesting. The civics mechanic is kinda cool too. The idea that it is separate from research is interesting, now I've built my first builder and am grabbing up the surrounding resources. Interesting that the first time you develop a resource you get bonuses to research. Developing my rice gave me a bonus to researching irrigation, and my cows gave a bonus to riding. Hrmm, I don't know if I like this... so improving tiles is instantaneous, but workers can only improve 3 times then they are used up and you have to build another. I am kinda terrible at this. Barbarian cavalry just looted one of my farms and I'm still stuck with warriors. Built the Hanging Gardens though. I like that it shows it being progressively constructed on the map. Its still early in the game and turns are taking forever. This was one of the problems I had with Civ 5 as well. It shouldn't take this long when each civ still only has one city. Vikings declared war on me right after conquering the nearest city state, so I'm moving on that. The river crossing mechanic makes war quite different. I have a chariot moving almost all the way to London to cross the river so he can come up around the back of Jakarta (the city state), since only one unit can get through the mountain pass at a time. Screenshots can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/oerwinde/screenshots/?appid=289070 So far overall I like it more than Civ 5, but I still like Civ 4 better.

I think the weird square one is the one that comes with it. The controller bits on each side come off and clip on to the sides of the screen for portable use, or can be used separately as individual controllers for local multiplayer. The other one is probably an optional peripheral for more hardcore gamers.

We want proper screenshots in the write up that illustrate the points made in the review or the sexist exploitation of women in the genre. Also need to point out the damaging influences of whiteness and patriarchy.

People are thinking he is playing Miles Morales in the new Spider-Man movie, but thats stupid, as Miles Morales is younger than Peter Parker, and Donald Glover is like 20 years too old.

Screw it, trying to write a decent in depth review is a small price to pay for a new Civ game. Sign me up if no one took it yet.

What do you mean? The bottom controller is for TV use, the top connects for portable use, or can be split up for local multiplayer.

It and Flash have the same problem with every second villain just being an evil version of the hero. How many damned archers are out there?

I would be ok with time travel if it was part of an alternate history game.

Tempting, but my reviews tend to be very brief.

I could see this doing well if it can lure 3ds jrpg devs over. Get some decent party games, Nintendo titles, and a couple Squeenix games and it should be golden.

Did you miss the DNC rigging the primary and the video of the DNC staffer talking about busing groups around to vote in multiple polling stations? I'm not saying that its assured that the election will be rigged, but its hardly beyond belief. The DNC has done so much shady crap this election you can't really dismiss anything.

I thought season 4 was some of the best Trek. I believe is was partially fan funded so the creative team made it all hardcore Trek fanservice, dealing with the Augments, the Original Series Klingons having no forehead ridges, Mirror Universe, etc. The Mirror Universe episodes were awesome, opening with the First Contact scene and the theme song dealing with the rise of the Terran Empire.

stick with it. It gets really good in season 3

Zoolander 2. Funny, but not as good as the original

In terms of reliability long term, I think the Japanese have that one. Toyota I believe is statistically the most reliable, with the largest million mile club(one million miles on the original engine) Subaru is known for it too.
