Anyone try Civ 5?

[Beskar]

Short Summary:
Civ5 is a massive improvement combat wise especially, I prefer the system a lot more than Civ4. Far more strategy and far less face-roll. Lot more enjoyable.
Civ5 for all its plus sides failed in making some features too basic from Civ4 and taking a way a lot of the feeling present in it. This can make the game less interesting than it's counterpart.

I really missed a lot of the UN Features and Religious ones from Civ4 especially.

I agree w/ Beskar. I like Civ IV more than Civ V. I liked the hex layout from Civ 5, but overall I enjoyed IV much more. I feel like Civ V was too simple.

I was going to say that I rally liked Civ 5, but then I realized I never play it. So ... I guess my brain says it's good, while my mouse hand says "meh."

I see.So the public opinion is that its crap.Even though it has that mod menu?

How is the placement a mod menu supposed to make a game good ?

You download with many mods.Meaning that the game can run with it.I mean ,In NTW ,you cant play with someone ,just because he's downloaded a mod.I think CA should add this if they want the modding community to serve them well.(I'm crap at modding my games)

Not really, simply get it whilst it is going at a good price.

The problem with gamers is they think of anything rated underneath 8/10 is "Crap", that isn't the case, a 4/10 game can still be fun, but it just isn't a great game. Simply get the new Game of the Year edition at something you won't worry about losing money over. If you are struggling the pay the gas bill, paying full whack on the game isn't a good idea anyway.

Sir, you're making up your own generalizations and serving it as the reality.

Rename Civ 5, "Humanity and Stuff", it makes a good game.

But as a follow-up to Civ series, the game is widely despised for setting back a lot more than what bits it innovated into its kin. And that makes it Crapolé for Civ fans.

Until real modding can happen I have no interest in Civ5. I want me some Fall From Heaven Civ 5 Edition! I do own it however, it's pretty meh, no Civ 4 by any means.
