Civilization 5

[easytarget]

Civ V is a disgrace to the series and anyone playing it should have a hole in his socks.

Civ IV is infinitely better than that garbage bearing the sacred name.

Meh, like I said above, I'll give it one more spin when I find BNW cheap enough to convince me it's worth the trouble. As for hating on it, that's easy and predictable. Save that gem of brilliance for the Civ Fanatics forum. Nothing in terms of pure fun about this series has improved beyond the 1st one, which for it's time was the best thing going. Adding ever greater complexity and decisions may play to OCDs, but you'd have a hard time arguing any game that turns into a franchise has succeeded often in retaining it's original creative drive. Creative types rarely make the same thing five times, as in this case, and argue this was the path to true creativity. haha
