My favorite potato moment was when a multiplayer guy (Herson) showed what the actual meta is and a bunch of people said they suspected things they learned from whiskey were wrong, or coped that multiplayer is not single player and it wouldn't work. So he released a second video with a full game on deity to prove it worked just to prove a point and made a jab at potato, then potato showed up in the comments to cope with, "What if you got early rushed tho it's s-s-situational".

the tl;dr is that firaxis took civilization, removed the features that defined civilization and said

when people were repeatedly, repeatedly expressing deep concerns about everything from the UI, to the presentation, to the leader choices, to the fundamental game mechanics.

Why are civcucks like this? Paradox community will call each other faggots, the content creators faggots, the devs faggots etc. to the face. Then whatever problem will be fixed and everything goes back to normal until the next fuck up. Civ feels like it is just nostalgic people coping that their longtime favorite series has had its dev team gutted and replaced.

The modern Firaxis devs committed the sin of hubris in about the worst way they possibly could. They, thinking they were smart, noticed that few games played out to completion, so to fix this they split the game into three separate eras, which each play like a miniature game of Civ in the absolute worst possible way possible, each era with a couple tacked on and, importantly, shitty quirks. It ruined the game in such a way that it can only be fixed - and believe me, it will be 'fixed' - with a $59.99 expansion pack. They charged $120 for year one of content. This merely scratches the surface.

There is a solution to make the civ swapping work, but it is a hard truth modern lazy devs will never face. It is that you simply have to make it make sense and feel logical and immersive. Also done in way that allows people to choose their favorite culture and stick with it. This could simply be achieved by having procedural civs representing a culture in each period (ie: Germanic, Holy Roman, Prussian, Imperial, Nazi, Germany). Give each a unique unit and building, and this would be great. You could even let people branch/switch in logical ways (maybe you go Habsburg, Austrian-Hungarian, Nazi, Austrian instead from Holy Roman). You could add fun "detours" for groups that didn't exist all of history (maybe there is something for Bavaria in the German part). You could also add a fun arcadey mode where you switch too really exotic cultures by fulfilling stuff like collecting horses. You could even add flavor to how civs work (like maybe if the Holy Roman one splits upon changing era, it dissolves into Prussia, Austria, and Bavaria). This would be an actually well developed mechanic. It would also allow people to attempt fun challenges like going from German to African in the realistic base mode by taking the furthest branch every time. This would be something actually worth 120 dollars and wouldn't be that hard for a full on dev team to make.

I wonder if it is because they deemed that they have lost the history obsessed audience to paradox. Or if it is because the new people outright hate history and would rather feature their favorite Reddit "til"s. I really don't know how this is happening to so many companies. They are all floundering and putting out something that'd be the bare minimum for a single developer in the case of the game industry. How could they be even more out of touch in the age of the internet?

6 was shit, but mostly due to lacking content that had been in the previous games. So was 5. The core was fine, they just needed expansions to bring them up to an acceptable level.
7's design is fundamentally flawed in ways that can't just be fixed by adding more mechanics.

It was never like this. Older civs had problems but they didn't have unfixable problems related to core game mechanics that can't be removed.

Here's the problem you fucking idiot, the game is doing exactly what you're talking about. You game is already doing ALL OF THAT, when playing Rome the game is says that the natural path for you is
Rome>Normans>USA or France or UK
or
Rome> Spain > Mexico

but if you want to deviate from that path then you can only do so under certain conditions.

The problem is that they only have three eras so we can't see what the idea actually is like potato
The game is shit all around and was obvious from the first announcement. They use stuff like Harriet Tubman to deflect criticism and also gain virtue signal support from terminally online Redditors. Everyone hates it though as it is shit, the bones are shit. They need to go back and redo the whole game.

Thx anons, I only ever played 5 after it got a lot of expacs and thought it was ok.

Sounds like Civ7 is closer to TWW3 at launch where core game systems just didn't work, except Civ7 can't be fixed. Did Firaxis try to change the entire game around to court a 'modern' audience (zoomies who need it dumbed down to mobile game levels) or something?

6 was shit, but like the previous 5 (6-7, if counting spinoffs) expansions "fixed" it.

You can't fix 7 with expansions becasue the foundational gameplay is dogshit and you can sort of paper-mache over some of it, but the dogturds are still in the ground/walls.

Sort of, but also sort-of not. Firaxis generally messes with gameplay systems between games to fix or enhance/remove them. This is normal.

The problem is, 7 changes the ENTIRE gameplay focus from what 5->6 did (video game->board game [6's lead designer was literally a table top game designer]) to 6->7's (boardgame->video game but with elements that the video game never did).

Changing Civ leaders mid-stream was NEVER done in the previous titles. This is why people were ambivalent toward it and when the game came out and OOPS, the system is dogshit, actually! people raged.

It's not the same. Civ 5 and 6 were lacking things but were fixed once the blanks were filled in, aside from 1UPT complaints. Civ 7 is fundamentally bad because it was designed wrong on purpose. They made plenty of decisions, from decoupling civs to civ switching and eras to the map generation to shitty leaders, all for the sake of selling more DLC and season passes. It touches the entire game and there's simply no way they can patch it. They could put out the most god tier updates, give out all the best leaders and civs for free to an absurd degree, and it'd still be "the shitty one" of the series with badly designed mechanics.

to put it another way, let's say you could backport Civ 7's content, like civilizations, leaders, graphics, music, etc, to Civ 6. This would indisputably be a better game than Civ 7, and I'm not even a Civ 6 fan. The core game is what's wrong here and that's not fixable

It's not changing leaders. Leaders are eternal. Changing civs and their bonuses is what theyve' done here.

Changing Leaders would make too much sense and it'd be like every other historical game bar Humankind.

The only thing wrong with Civ 6's gameplay is that the AI is still shit, just like every other Civ game. If they paid an experienced white male programmer to fix the AI and make it fun to play against without rampant cheating I would pay for a DLC that is just the AI upgrade. Districts are good and add some much needed depth to what is essentially babby's first 4x. Civ 5 had a better art style but 6's did grow on me after a while, even though the pozzed devs had an obsession with making historically white people like three shades darker of brown. Civ 7 is a game for no one that didn't need to exist.

The monetization is the problem that caused the other problems.
Civ switching for example, it's just an excuse to force players to need 3x as many civs per game. Then they separate civs from leaders, so they can sell you both of them piecemeal, or pad out a season pass.
Or the ugly leaders with the weird cuck chair perspective for the diplomacy screen, they're like that so you can see their whole body, so they can sell you cosmetics that go on the body. The bodies are generic skeletons so they can be dressed up like dolls, again for the sake of selling cosmetics.
Contrast that with Civ 5 which had bespoke models with highly optimized scenes for every leader, which allowed them to have appealing realistic graphics on absolute shitbox hardware. It was better for players, but didn't allow them to sell you cosmetic DLC, so the game had to be made worse for greed's sake.

I played Troubleshooter recently and it mogs xcom, it's amazing what that genre can be like when it isn't Overwatch Simulator 20XX
In general I feel like that genre is well-served by indie games and doesn't gain much from a big studio working on it. You just don't need a big budget or long dev times to make a good tactics game, it seems like they get in the way actually. Maybe we're discovering the same thing about 4X, with AAA greed killing the latest civ there's a gap for indies to exploit and it shouldn't even be that hard.

As a paradoxfag it was weird when they paraded out all their grand strategy titles to advertise that game, they had to know it was shovelware. The paraslop era is truly mystifying

>Music is amazing
>Guiding a Civ from ancient times to the modern era is always a fun concept
>Every Civ actually feels unique, you can imagine if they actually made a direct sequel to this rather than the fuckup that was 7, the flavour for each civ would be really good
Thats all I need desu

I just really, REALLY wish 7 was just an updated modernised sequel to 6 rather than the car crash it became.
6 with modern graphics and every civ having unique building and unit models would be so cool, but I can settle with what it is for now and hope Firaxis laysoff their dev team and goes back to what works

Civ 6 was the perfect game with shit AI. There was no way to make a good sequel without solving Computer intelligence.
So they dumbed everything way down so the computer could better kerp up. It worked as the combat is much more fun in 7, but everything else is a big step back.
That and they obviously rushed it out.

The core issues to this game are so fucking bad that the fact there is a fucking METAPROGRESSION system where you either need to GRIND HUNDREDS OF GAMES or PAY MONEY to fucking unlock the unique passive bonuses of each leader (or that the game will BAN YOU FROM SINGLE PLAYER if you try to use save editors or cheat engine to bypass it) is barely even a blip on the radar.

Heres the thing.

Minmax Multiplayer Hypercompetitive strats will always win. In almost every situation in a game where players are equal with the AI.

Meanwhile the reverse is almost never the case.

You'd think decades of RTS games and how they became quite literally solved would show it to you.

You can pretty much breeze through most campaigns in most RTS games by doing early boom multiplayer strats. Even if the AI has a gigantic advantage.

While you can certainly translate multiplayer lessons and strategies to campaign, most good single player campaign RTS require a variety of strategies to overcome due to presenting a wide array of challenges. You can't rush when your opponent starts entrenched, nor can you rely on economic advantage when they have endless resources.

Eh? How can you pay money to get their unlocks?
Agreed the progression system is stupid though. There are a ton of mementos that lean incredibly hard into the unique strengths of the leader and really make them feel different and asymmetrically strong, and they lock them away behind time-gates many players will never bother unlocking, leaving the leaders weaker and more generic. Retarded idea.

>>713113467
I'll be honest, I liked the idea of more leaders like Tubman. Less conventional picks for more nuanced bonuses. Having two USA leaders at launch (Franklin and Tubman) let you pivot between traditional and "weird" options. But, in the current climate, I cant shake the feeling that she was a DEI choice which sours my reception of her

5 had good core mechanics, it just played poorly until the expansions got it good.
6 was mediocre on release and had mediocre expansions that didn't fix things, just added me mediocrity. Fine if you already liked 6, but didn't improve it.
7 is a trash heap. Maybe it gets good, maybe it doesn't, but people aren't giving it the benefit of the doubt anymore.

it's more like
>civ 5 looks bad
>"expansions will fix it"
>everybody buys it anyway and the expansions fix it
>civ 6 looks bad
>"expansions will fix it"
>everybody buys it anyway and the expansions fix it
>civ 7 looks bad
>"holy shit no expansion can fix this dumpster fire"
>nobody buys it anyway
