I've never really played a Civ game before, but this looks super fun. But I just wanna slowly build my civilization through all the ages and get all this awesome stuff and not worry about fighting, lol.

And this looks more possible in Civ 5 than ever before in any other Civ game. It looks like War isn't going to be the ultimate decider

Was on the fence with this game at first. But now it's pre-purchased thanks to this review reminding me of how addictive and awesome Civilization games are.

I can't wait to play this game, I hope it's better than the console version of civ 4 though.
What? The PC version will be better than the console version of Civ 4 if that's what you're saying. There probably isn't going to be a console version of Civ 5.
There was no console version of Civ 4. There was Civilization Revolutions, a Civ game built specifically for consoles, but thats it.

OT: I want this game so badly. Like, seriously, very, very badly.

I remember my friends saying Civ Rev wasn't that bad.

It wasn't. It was actually pretty good. Sure it wasn't as deep, but it was still fun.

I may no longer have a 360 and I may be in a near broke state economically speaking, but damn I'm glad I pre purchased the game when I could. If I'm not busy searching for a new job, I'll be busy conquering the world with an iron fist... or a lukewarm heart...

Civ 5 seems to take what was good from Civ 4 and Civ Rev to make the ultimate Civ game. I'm incredibly excited for this title.

Thanks for the preview Escapist!

Awesome review supplement. :)
I remember playing the older Civilization games for hours on end. Hmm... might be time to look into the series again.

I hope my ancient PC will play this game, it's high on my list of game purchases for this year.

This sounds like one hell of a lot of fun, I shall be honest.
I hope I don't end up getting in character, though... it might be awkward.
Awkward? Yes. Fun? Of course. I am not Kajt, I am Napoleon! Now bow before my might or get crushed by my ICBMs!

Well, not just Civ 4 and Rev - they also seem to have taken the graphical style from those wargames. Will be interested to see how it looks on my screen, heh. Should be awesome.

Winning a game by diplomacy doesn't sound like too much fun. There is nothing like crushing your foes on the battlefield and sacking cities!
