Rob's House Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 That's just !@#$ed up. Time to get a life folks. Oh, and don't give me **** about having nearly 15,000 posts on a message board, it's not even close to being the same thing. Chef, you seem distraught at the realization that you are deeply immersed in nerd behavior. May I refer you to your sig line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Chef, you seem distraught at the realization that you are deeply immersed in nerd behavior. May I refer you to your sig line? No I'm feeling sorry for those of you that are. If I were rushing out to buy whatever Civ 5 is then I'd have to refer to my sig line. The fact that I'm not, and have no desire to or even own any video games (gasp!!) is a testament to the fact that I live by my sig line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 or even own any video games (gasp!!) Liar. I'm sure you have Minesweeper, Hearts, and Solitaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Sorry, my wife owns those. Seriously though, Civilization is a great strategy game. It's "similar" to Axis and Allies - a board game that people spend days playing. People can become addicted to anything - so while it's a fun game, and I've lost my share of sleep over the last 20 years because of the game, it's definitely a "thinking man's" game (unlike World of Warcraft). You'd actually probably like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meazza Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 He'll be fine. You on the other hand won't http://www.2kgames.com/civ5/support/#systemreqs Check the video req's ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, with 256 MB of dedicated video memory Microsoft DirectX 10 (Shader 4.1) and OpenGL 2.1 capable Demo worked ok on good resolution and low settings. I'm worried that the game will slow down as the map is expanded which used to happen in Civ 4 on my old PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meazza Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) What the hell made you think that I'd like a thinking man's game?? There are very few games that I actually play as I usually get fed up after about 10 minutes but Civ is not one of them.

I don't know that owning the latest version of Civ is a trendy status symbol. But it sounds like you're a tweener: Young enough to find your way to the message board, but too old to play video games. Clearly too old to worry about being a nerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyT Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 It would be cool to hear more feedback on the game instead of just trying to figure out who is, and isn't, a nerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 It would be cool to hear more feedback on the game instead of just trying to figure out who is, and isn't, a nerd. Gameplay is great from what I've seen so far, and I love the city-states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Gameplay is great from what I've seen so far, and I love the city-states. I'm curious how the effects of removing culture and religion are affecting the game. I loved increasing the culture of my civilization so that everyone wanted to switch to my side. Looks like that's gone now. The combat is COMPLETELY different too, and maybe for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One unit per tile has been the hardest thing for me to get used to. Once I figured how to conquer cities, it was only a matter of time before my legionaries took over my continent. Also cool? The legions can build roads! NICE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebug Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I thought for sure it was a Honda. Only game I play (not very often) is Madden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meazza Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 The nation states are a tad annoying. They are too pricey to maintain a friendship with. Might as well just annex them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
