Anyone try Civ 5?

[CountArach]

I've been having a look at CIV 5 and its screenshots,reviews and others,and from what I hear,they're contanstly updating the game with patches. CIV 4 doesn't appeal to me as CIV 5 does.

Then go with Civ 5. Everyone should try the Civilization series at some point, becuse it is a truly tremendous series. Given that most of what 5 is criticised for is what earlier games did better, if you haven't played the earlier games it isn't going to be a problem for you - you will enjoy it on its own. If you really enjoy it then maybe later you can have a shot at Civ 4, which, as said, is generally considered a better game, but if you don't like 5 then the series may not be for you.

It seems Civ V is such a disappointment that nobody gave much care about Gods & Kings expansion that brought back what was meant to be there from the very start.

I got it and played it a bit yesterday. Since I did not ever play Civ V for long enough to spot out the differences, I can't really say "this and that". What's as obvious as sun as is the addition of Faith component and Pantheons thereby.

So no Gods & Kings owners here ?

Its on my "to review" list.

I plan to get to it eventually. I was massively disappointed by Civ V, but I remain optimistic that it's 'final' state after multiple expansions and patches will be good. I played Civ IV throughout its entire development history, and it really only became the superb game we all love after its expansion packs. The initial Civ IV release was decent, but not superb. I'm hoping that Civ V will go that way as well, so I'm just waiting.

the hexagons and 1 tile fights make the game 1000 times better, anyone who says differently is just one of those people who bitch and moan about old stuffs superiorty. And now god and kings added back religion, its starting to be alot of fun.

And obviously its gorgeous.

The game was missing a lot with religion (civilization simulation without that, srsly ?) and it also seemed a lot washed-down somewhat.

And also city-states is a redundant concept. It just seems out of place.
