Preview: Civilization V

[boyitsme95]

Man, I wasn't really excited for Civ 5 before, but now I am! Besides, what else would that money be used for? Food!?
Also, I loved the writing style you used on this preview; it was really interesting and a nice counterpoint to Russ Pitts' preview from a while ago. I hope for more previews like this one!

This is what's great about CIV all this is going on in your head whilst you play...

I LOVE CIV

 

[Chunko]

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.

I know, I'm going to play the game when it's 5 years in the future. (I can't wait till it's 5 years in the future)

Damm!
Why wont Civ 4 work anymore!

 

[imnot]

Wait it comes out soon! If theres a demo Ill try it to see if it runs.Then I might get it for christmas or something.

Best. Preview. EVER!

Seriously, you should role-play more previews like this, because that was awesome!

That.

I LOVED this preview, the game looks amazing.

I loved the option in the victory screen for "Wait... Just... One... More... Turn..." Classic stuff.

I will definitely get this game one day, but I'm currently running a PC that has some issues with Civ 4 - it's not very system intensive but I still have to run it on low settings. It'll just have to go on my list of "Games to buy when I get a better PC"

This just makes me want it more!!

 

[DalekJaas]

Stuff civilization, I want a Rise of Nations re-make!

 

[Weaver]

I'll kind of miss Leonard Nimoy

 

[DiscoAtThePanic]

Less storytelling, more gameplay descriptions

 

[Cousin_IT]

dammit, reading this & seeing it's on pre-order offer on Amazon I just went & reserved a copy. Damn you, Escapist! Now I'm going to be waiting with increasing anxiousness for the next 13 days :'(

 

[chstens]

You allied with Oslo?

 

[carpathic]

Excellent! Looks like I might buy this one.

Civilization Revolution is starting to get a little old!

 

[Wandrecanada]

I'll kind of miss Leonard Nimoy

I loved him in Civ 4 voiceovers. Especially the Sputnik quote. Beep... beep... beep...

 

[Shjade]

I've never liked the Civ series, mainly due to the issues with combat. That and just how slow the game is on the whole.

This preview still got me interested in giving it another chance to win me over. I'll probably resist picking it up, but it was a persuasive preview all the same. I approve.

I do hope Civ 5 has a demo. I love me some demos, yes I do.

Isn't it like 13 days to release?

Let the countdown begin!

*edit: I also with they could get Leonard Nimoy back for narration.
