    I bought Civ V before Christmas when Steam was having a super 75% off sale. I've messed with it some, it's one of those games that really takes a lot of time but it is very in-depth and seems very good.

    Have you played Civ V? Can you offer a comparison to Beyond Earth? I think the new one looks good, just not sure if there would be a huge difference?

    EDIT: after reading reviews online, it seems like a similar pattern, when Civ V came out everyone liked Civ IV better, then over time as new DLC came out and Civ V became more complete people liked Civ V better. Now in reading the reviews it seems like a similar story, they all say Civ BE looks great but it's not complete yet and it's lacking in areas that Civ V has more content. Then they all seem to say when you're comparing the two and comparing what you get for the price Civ V is a no brainer. They seem to say Civ BE will be worth it later down the road when they have more DLC but as of now Civ V (complete edition) seems to be the hands down version. The Civ V complete edition which I assume includes ALL the DLC and everything extra is on sale 75% off for this weekend. You can get what seems to get really great reviews for only $12.49.

    On Steam's site it seems like Civ BE gets "mixed reviews" and Civ V has "overwhelming positive", plus in a few reviews I read on Civ BE they said they were not able to fight or have war (or there was very little fighting/war), on Civ V there seems to be chance to fight and have war with other colonies quite often.

    I just need to crap more time so I can put time and effort into Civ V.
