Sid Meier's Civilization 5

[Commando Vlaskiyov]

Alright, who's getting it? I'm stoked and already have it installed (bought it about an hour ago).

 

[Sexy Beast]

Part of me really wants to pick it up. Another part of me is wondering if I'm going to have time to play the game.

 

[Spitfire'd]

I'm in almost the same boat as Sexy Beast, except I already decided I'm going to get it. Not through Steam though, I'll be opting for a hard copy.

At least your getting it though. I've already bought and pre-loaded the game.

Quick question while on this topic: I've recently started playing Civilization on my iPhone and greatly enjoyed it. I'm even planning on picking up Civ. 5 soon. But do I need to play the prequels first, or is this an independant sequel?

 

[Spitfire'd]

There isn't a continuous storyline at all. Each game is a stand alone. If anything having played the prequels will just give you an appreciation for how the game is improved.

Considering the last one I played was Civ II, I'm in for a real treat

 

[Spitfire'd]

Loving it!

 

[Rukus.]

Do want. May choose this over new sneakers.

I've been waiting for this game FOREVER! I got hooked on Civ 4 and have been waiting for this since it was first available for purchase on Steam

But if you read my other thread, you will see how terrible my life is.

For once, my crappy video card supports a brand new game.
My CPU, doesn't.

It makes it the first few seconds into the opening cinematic (before the main title screen) and it shuts the game down and gives me an error message.

/Vexx be very sad now.

 

[Spitfire'd]

Sorry to hear that Vexx. If you get that fixed let me know. I've never really ventured into multiplayer for Civ games. I'm willing to try it out but my schedule will make it pretty difficult.

 

[Stormrider^]

I opted to buy this game instead of food.
Good choice.
