You want expansions? Here's some stuff we deliberately left out of the game at the beginning."gimme your money" if you want it back. ![]() You want new stuff? DLC."gimme your money". Once 2K got involved in the franchise, it's been nothing but a money-grab and wallet-milking enterprise. Ever since 2K Games became the publisher for Firaxis, the Civilization title's pull on gamers has been dwindling. I mean.he did make the design team at least play SMAC for a weekend before coming together to start making this game, right? I would hope so, but that doesn't seem to be the case not from what I'm seeing with C:BE - so devoid and bereft of creativity and nuance. Was Sid Meier even an active member of the design team when this was being created? Because it doesn't seem like it. Better yet, play Civ IV:BTS with the cool Planetfall mod if you want a nice sci-fi civ experience. One more turn, just one more turn? NOT!! C:BE is nothing more than a super-skinned mod that Firaxis threw together at the last minute and decided to rest on their laurels with the success of Civ V and then to make it sting like the dickens they had the audacity to put out their hand and say, "That'll be $50, please." Once this game moves to the $5 bin, it MAY be worth it. One more turn, just one more turn? NOT!! C:BE is nothing more than a Spiritual successor to SMAC? !! -No Unit Workshop -No Terraforming -No Social Engineering -No Secret Projects that actually excite you to pursue them SMAC, a 15-year old game, is kicking C:BE's ass up and down the field when it comes to creativity, excitement and intrigue of gameplay. SMAC, a 15-year old game, is kicking C:BE's ass up and down the field when it comes to creativity, excitement and intrigue of gameplay. No Secret Projects that actually excite you to pursue them Spiritual successor to SMAC? !! -No Unit Workshop After minutes of game-play you'll find yourself hitting "next turn" over and over looking forward something interesting happens but there's nothing, just boredom. This is one of the best examples I can think of on how a company will make money using a former successful title with little effort. Same dialogs, same texts, same bugs, different skin (much worst skin). Some animations just hang like in the previous version, you have to wait until the plane stops spinning over a city. Quests are actions you would take anyway just playing the game so you don't even have to bother reading. There are no unique units, barbarians became aliens and that's it. The cut-scenes for wonders gone just simplistic images with no substance. The terrain is somehow pale, nothing shines or bring your attention. Quests are actions you would take anyway just playing the game so you don't even I was expecting something different, inspiring, fresh, instead I came upon a shallow and boring game. ![]() I was expecting something different, inspiring, fresh, instead I came upon a shallow and boring game. SUPER OP! Takes the fun out of exploring! … Expand Can chose a perk to show outline of every island in game. Health (Happiness) MUST be a priority, expanding or not. The is even LESS diplomacy than before, absolutely nothing to trade as luxury resources are gone. The grey texture lag is now black, but the same. The Production queue jumping (when trying to do something else first). You can't make out clearly what things are and it's just plain ugly! - Music is not immersive - Same bugs from Civ5. ![]() I mean everything (except Religion - DLC?) - Terrain is extremely drab and bland. Races feel more customisable - A little bit more diversity in Tech and Virtue (culture) perk trees -No Astronomy!!!!! Cons: - Every feature from Civ 5 exists as a renamed feature in CivBE. Probably the only really major thing to change in the game. Pros: - Tech map is MUCH better, even if daunting at first. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, but it's a mod to me rather than a new experience. If you are new to Civ, it's going to be a really good experience. ![]() If you played a lot of Civ 5 and got a bit bored of it's simplicity, then probably don't expect much from this one. Tech map is MUCH better, even if Entirely reskinned version of Civ5.
