Interesting, and good for the dev!

But it's early access and 40 euros, so not for me at the moment. Still, for those curious, here's the direct link to Steam.

Civ 7 is Early Access (Firaxis called it like that themselves) and the founders edition is 130 bucks, so I guess this is becoming normalized...

I just checked and nearly choked. I've played every single Civ game ever made. As much as I love the series, there's no way in hell I'm paying AU$160 for a base game.

It does include the first two expansions that will come out and leader packs and shit. I have sunk far more hours into civ than any other game. I very rarely buy a game, maybe twice a year. So it was worth it to me. I'll play it for 500+ hours and at that point it's 30 cents an hour of entertainment.

It's been normalized for a long time. I still don't buy it if it says early access though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Do you mean early access or advanced access?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

It is advanced access, however Firaxis did an announcement shortly after release, addressing the rocky release and promising to fix things, where they (accidentally) called it early access. It seems they changed that now, still, it was there (and was made fun of) in forums and other Lemmy like communities.

It's a beautiful game with lots of potential but it gets boring real fast.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Yeah, it's pretty okay and all, but the hype made it out to be cooler than it was, in my opinion. I've been playing Foundation the last day or two and I find it way more addictive, satisfying, and unique, so far. Maybe I just need to revisit Manor Lords. The trailers made the combat out to be Mount and Blade-esque, so I think that's what really underwhelmed me. It felt more like Civilization-style "throw a bunch of units at the bad guy" combat.

after you hit the 10-15 hours mark you are just looking around like Travolta, that’s it? yep that’s it.. no more content. Potential is there but will the devs deliver it? not so sure. Atm the game is overpriced.

My god is it a cunt to play, though...if ~~your ADHD is off the charts~~ you're a perfectionist like me.

Highly recommend.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

A great game for sure. Probably my most awaited game release.

Only issue is that I need to finish factorio before that release and I wasn't expecting the factorio DLC to extend the game by like 3x...

Anyway Manor lords was my most played single player game for 2024 in its rather barebone build and it was already a blast. Something that brings back when I was playing Settlers as a kid but with modern graphics.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It looks real good, but I'm still playing Aginst thr Storm, and will probably give Farthest Frontier a try before goong into this one. Still, it's on my list!

Is that Louis CK?
