Steam strikes again....

I took an unusually long vacation and was consequently tight on money. I swore I wouldn't buy anything--any game, at least--this summer....

Edit: Oh I see...well, hope it's worth the money.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Afraid your images don't work, dear.

Man buys cheap game. News at eleven.

Fixed; sorry.

Might as well ask; is it a good game? I don't think I've ever played any of the Civilisation games so, what is it?

 

[C95J]

I'm downloading the demo right now to:

1. See if my computer can run it nicely.
2. Actually see if the game is any good.

EDIT: Just tested on my new laptop and it runs nicely, seems like I was meant to buy it, considering it is on sale

lol couldn't resist the deluxe edition I see, I was exactly the same, Civ 5 for $17!!! Excellent, there is a deluxe version for a dollar $3 more... Alright Steam you win.

Basterds, I know.

It's a turn-based strategy game. I've only played the demo before and was impressed, but not enough to splurge $49.99 on it 3 months ago. But this....this changed everything.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Yes, but what do you... ah fuck it, I'll get the demo I suppose.

So anyone notice the guy isn't trying to talk about how good the game is, but the fact that steam charged him 3 dollars more then they said it would cost?

He bought the deluxe edition which is 3 dollars more than the regular edition.

I got Civilization IV and every expansion for 7.50. Best purchase that I've ever made from Steam.

 

[Zacharious-khan]

you are pissed at having to play 3 more dollars for a 50 dollar game down to 20?

 

[Omega Pirate]

I would buy it, however I have the Civ4 complete pack. Frankly I like Civ4's grid more, so Ill pass on Civ5.

Captcha: rhyme nor reason

 

[Arya Stark]

Same thing happened to me, your not alone.

 

[Altorin]

I just bought that during the summer sale for 25 bucks.

grumble

Are you a fan of Civ 4? if so please tell me how Civ 5 compares... I love Civ 4 but am dubious about getting Civ 5... looks needlessly dumbed down... its that the case?

Been playing Civ since the first one and V is by far the best. It is streamlined in the best sense of the word, cutting out loads of the crap and the micromanagement which became tedious towards the end game.

Only problem really is the the new combat system is so great it feels like a waste no to go for domination, and the AI just can't handle it.

Having said that, I know some other people think differently. But it was up for £10 recently. Surely worth a bash?
