So I'm not a Civ player. Got IV for cheap on a Steam sale, but what is so bad about V? Ratings for it on Amazon are terrible, and that's a total of almost 1000 reviews.
Honestly people who care too much!!! Civ IV was alot smoother and more polished than V initally but I think V has come a long way since it was released, now IV is still probably the best one, but V is not terrible especially if you never played the hell out of IV.
IV had about three different expansions, and was very balanced . V doesn't have all the bells and whistles but it still pretty solid.
Nice. I got the entire IV collection for $7.50 or so. Just collecting games while they go on saleI also got Painkiller today from the Flash Sale.
Civ IV is god when it comes to Civ games. It's depth is pretty much the best and Civ V is missing two big features (Religion and Corporations) that were stripped out of the original release of Civ V to make it more non-hardcore friendly. Civ V is fine as long as you have the Gods and Kings Expansion. People are just snobs about Civ IV because it's a REALLY good game.
The main differences are the two above (no Religion without Gods and Kings Expansion and no Corporations means the game, in general, is more combat oriented than other Civ games) and supposedly the tech tree is bigger in IV (93 tech tree options in Civ IV with their expansions compared to 78 in Civ V with it's expansions) but that's hardly that big of a deal, in my opinion as they consolidated some of the old Civ IV techs and they removed the need for Tech tree usage for religions altogether.
Personally, as much as I liked, and still do like, Civ VI, Civ V is just BEAUTIFUL graphically and it just streamlines a lot of bullshit from VI. I can't freakin' wait to get home so I can install Gods and Kings and start playing Civ V again personally.
Yeah, people who just got a stick up their ass and felt the need to trash Civ V because they like Civ IV better. Some complaints against Civ V are valid and I have agreed with some of them, but Civ V on it's own is a fun game, and has become a solid game after some early patching.
Some of the early bitching was Civ V only allowing a single unit on a given space, where as in Civ IV, you can create Death Stacks of dozens of units as a single group, and just sit there throwing stack after stack of hundreds of units on a single city or army. In Civ V, you have to actually fucking plan, coordinate and use logic when attacking cities and stuff, being able to only use so many units when attacking.
Forgot about that. Computer was *** AS FUCK with those god damn death stacks. Civ V is WAY better because of them disallowing the stacking of units now.
Totally forgot this morning to try to buy this until just now and it's gone back up to $49.99.
D'oh
When I looked at 7:30, it switched, so I think you were screwed either way. I think it switches at midnight or shortly after.

Yeah. I figured that was the case. Oh well. Didn't really want to play it that bad anyway. I'll just wait for the Game of the Year edition or something and play it then.
Oh yeah, also, is anyone interested in this:
http://www.amazon.com/Stronghold-Col...f=dsvbl_item_3
I really have no interest in it but I bought the 2k Strategy Super Pack:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00..._ya_os_product
And it came with it.
Whoever wants it, just PM me and I'll send you the steam code for it as well as for Civ IV since I doubt I'll ever play it with Civ V and all.
You have a steam code for Stronghold? I'd take it. I already have Civ IV. I'll get introduced with that and go to V some time down the road.
Yup. PM sent.
Still have complete Civ IV if anyone is interested that doesn't already have it.
Are the other strongholds any good? I know the new one is terrible as I have that one, but what about the others? I have read the old ones are pretty good.
I've personally played the shit out of Stronghold 2. It's an AMAZINGLY well done castle building/sieging game with a little bit of normal micromanaging resources and such. It's fun as hell though and the CPU AI isn't horrible.
Didn't see this until now. That sucks. I guess I will wait until the big summer sale. Plus by then I will have my new cpu.

New flash sale is up. Even though I have it on 360, I guess I'll get Bastion for PC too at $3.75.
Having a weird overheating issue all of a sudden. It appears one of my case fans has died, so that could be the issue, but it's hard for me to imagine that a single case fan could be the issue. CPU has overheated all of a sudden twice in two days, specifically when I am doing MULTIPLE things at once (like download stuff on Steam, listening to music/podcasts, and playing a game at the same time). Has me worried.Guess it's time to grab a box fan or something and point it at the PC again until I can get around to buying a case fan again.
Too much overclocking

The dude abides.
That's what's sad, I haven't overclocked it at all. I'm doing some testing now to see what exactly is causing it as it appears to only be NBA 2k13 at the moment (that game is so atrociously programmed for the PC, it's just unspeakable). Time to do some tests with Civ V to see if it does the same thing.Too much overclocking
