Valsuelm Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Sid Meier's has been a brand since early 90's <_<. Since the mid-late 80s actually.
Hurlshort Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 No takers? I was planning on picking it up eventually, so I'll take it if it is a Steam key. I think it needs to be Steam in order to work with my Beyond Earth copy.
ShadySands Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Yep, it's Steam. I think all Firaxis/2K games have been Steam only in the past few years 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
Bryy Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 New video of Sid Meier showcasing gameplay for HIS next game. Impressive demo. Looks like it'll have both a strategic and deep tactical component to it. I really dig the hexagon tiles --classic grognardism. So this came out of nowhere. Dare I say the REAL Beyond Civilization?

I would say no, game don't have enough depth to be real 4x game. My first impression after first game is that game is somewhat small scope strategy game that focuses on tactical space combat. In my opinion strategy game part lacks too much depth to be interesting for long run, but in other hand tactical space battles are very entertaining and they have quite lot depth in them. 2
Darkpriest Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I have seen a lot of complains about the game, but these are mostly the people that expect it to be more developed 4x strat instead of what it is and meant to be to begin with. a tactical turn based combat game, with flavor of 4x add on to keep the replay value higher up. like people expected CiV:BE 1.5 ... I think it does well what it was meant to be and short runs are exactly what should make it fresh each time you restart the campaign. 2
Leferd Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Played for about an hour and a half. Elerond and Darkpriest have the right of it. The strategic aspects of the game are barebones and are used as primarily as a vehicle to drive its core gameplay element: starship combat. Which I believe they've hit a home run on. It's a fun game. 2 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle

Nice. My main problem with x4 games (especially Civ) is that, after a while, it becomes very clear that you can't diversify your cities/planets/what have you as much as you really want.
Majek Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 No takers? Damn. Why didn't i check this tread sooner ;_; 1.13 killed off Ja2.
