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".
>civ 7 so bad nigga started reviewing anime
>>713098085>PSA: Calling me a fentanyl-laced crack addict is a bannable offence in my trap house. Tread carefully :)
Fuck this guy and fuck Firaxis. They're all culpable. A 1/10 game, the devs made every single wrong choice possible, and the grown man who willingly took the big corporation's money to shill said 1/10 deserves positively no sympathy from anyone. I hope he fucking kills himself.
>>713098143you should see the multiplayer stream where potato gets absolutely demolished by some of herson's buddies playing japan, he gets increasingly nervous and angry, his passive aggressiveness starts to show when he blames other people saying they should've taken down the city state japan was suzerain of

i honestly sympathize with his position even though i think he's been too soft on firaxis. he sounds like a self-hating retard, which i understand all too well.
>>713098589the tl;dr is that firaxis took civilization, removed the features that defined civilization and said
>no, no, trust us, you'll like thiswhen people were repeatedly, repeatedly expressing deep concerns about everything from the UI, to the presentation, to the leader choices, to the fundamental game mechanics.
>>713096415 (OP)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.
>>713098221I liked the episode/chapter with the old dwarf.
The new king has been around for a while now.
>>713098589The 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.
>>713096415 (OP)tl;dw

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.

>>713101708Sorry chud, Civ isn't about history any more, it's about sending the right kind of message.
Actually, that's probably the root problem with the game - it's no longer being made by history nerds.

>>713102360I 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.

>>7131032726 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.
>>713103539That's not true. Pretending people weren't upset is why this game is failing.
>>713103272>Or is Civ7 uniquely bad?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.
The people who claim it's always like this are delusional and terminal shills.

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?

>>7131032726 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.
>>713103404around 4 years ago
>>713105047>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?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.
The only hope for Civ 7 is some hyper-autistic modder turning it into a real civ game because the devs will never swallow their pride and rework everything.
>>713098143Multiplayer and singleplayer are very different. People play differently from AI, optimal strategies in singleplayer don't apply to multiplayer.

>>713099332The problem with Old World is that it's too small-scale.
>Limited # of turns>Very limited # of civs>Fake family tree that does nothing other than limit what your sovereign can do>Shit barbarians that do nothing >Cultures are indistinct and less relevant than in your average Total War gameUnironically Total War Troy and Pharaoh do a better job of giving you that Archaic Age fantasy of building and ruling ancient Empires.
>>713105767Didn't that other game, Humankind, try the 'your civ/leaders just change at major time periods (bronze age/electricity age/whatever)' thing too, and people hated it?
Why the fuck would Firaxis copy it? Or was this a Marathon situation where they hired a guy as a design director who brought all those failed ideas with him from his last job?
>>713102585I play 6 because I can play it on my smartphone.
>>713103272It'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
>>713105767It'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.
3 is good.
4 is good.
5 is good.
6 is good.
7 is ass. It takes effort to fuck up such an obvious winning formula to the point where not even the 20 year long fans will buy it. Now imagine being a paid Firaxis shill for this game like the mick trying to reconcile this reality with your need to pay rent.
>>713104804map painting games for low IQ autists are not complicated
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.
what is so bad about civ 7, other than the obscene monetization that i'm sure it has?
>>713107376Have you actually looked at it? Monetization is a reddit cope even if some pricing is scummy.
>>713096415 (OP)Good, get fucked firaxis.
>>713106267Civ 5 actually has a touch mode specifically designed for play on tablet PCs. When my old PC broke I was using a Surface for a while and Civ 5 was great to play. If it got ported to android or ios it'd work well on phones I bet.
>>713097850>a 20 year old 4X franchiseCiv 1 was 1991, so over 30 years. Disgrace.
Unironically stagnant since Civ2 / Civ 3. Civ 2 was considered as one of the best strategy games for it's time. Today it's the series that's still there is and is good enough.
Firaxis post Nu Xcom not looking too good.
>>713107376The 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.
>>713104137first, its mankind, not humankind, woke bullshit.
second, it felt like civ from temu, let me copy your homework.
third, they had their own 4x serie (endless legend) that was really fun but neglected it to make a clone of another franchise.
Doesn't this fuck suffer from severe trump deraganment syndrome?
>>713103272Civ has always been mediocre on launch and only gotten good after 1-2 DLCs. VII is PARTICULARLY bad though, even compared to V which suffered the worst because it leapt to 1UPT hexes.
>>713104137The only good things about humankind were the hunter-gatherer start/being able to delay settling (kino) and the combat. Civ 7 also partly ripped off humankind's combat so it's actually improved.

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.
>>713108351>Millenniano, there was not an attempt
For real though, that game feels like a kickstarter demo, in the sense that it has a some very interesting ideas but no budget. Like it's a proof of concept they released to get more funding. Except they had a fucking publisher so ???
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

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

>you take a look at civ, sid meyer by the way great guy, smart guy I actually know him very well and he told me 'donald you wouldn't believe what 2k is doing to my game' but we're not gonna let it happen
>>713108974Oh gross. A thousand miseries upon this dipshit.
>>713096964>le everyone who is positive is a shilllllll>this shitno he is a shill and anyone who is saying otherwise is either retarded or paid
>>713110373this is true. i was there at the podcasting studio
>>713110323Yes it is all our word. Racism can't exist in a raceless society, so you can say it as many times as you want.
>>713096415 (OP)>have to change civs every erathis cemented the game as shit, there is no coming back from this one boys.
>>713109496If I say "objectively" it means you're not allowed to disagree with me.
>>713108974I'm not surprised someone retarded enough to think the solution to the housing crisis is to have a soviet style central planned government body build houses for free (yes he actually believes this) also thinks Kamala was a anywhere near a good candidate.
>>713105949>optimal strategies in singleplayer don't apply to multiplayeryes because the AI in singleplayer is so bad you can do whatever you want and win
the point of herson's video is that what commonly is lauded as optimal singleplayer strategy is actually unoptimal but wins because the game is easy anyway
>>713096415 (OP)>11:10>>>how could this be happening to me
>>713103404>>He likes a video game?He gets paid to advertise a video game
He's not a shill he's an advertiser
>>713097194too bad he has the 'tism
So whats the verdict anon? Can the game be saved with patches or is it too innately fucked?
>>713112128potayto - potahto
>>713112128a SHILL is an ADVERTISER that does not disclose his affilations
i hope this helps, you fuckface faggot retard
>>713112450it's so far past 'innately fucked' that its best hope is getting out the other side (it won't)
>>713112998what do they need the husk strip for?
>>713103764the leaders suck
>>713113119yet ultimately it's just a symptom
There's zero proof that Trump who was best friends with a child pimp for 15 years flew on Epstein's private airplane that used underage stewardesses to his private island known for child rape specifically to rape children.
>>713112942>the other sideA hero shooter?
>>713103764>>713113119The leaders are so far removed from the core issues
I think the selection they have now is "fine".
Not great, not crazy, but not bad either. But they clearly intended to stack the roster with DLC over time and it looks like the game wont live that long
>>713109320Rape is not the same as sexual assault. He is definitively not a rapist.
sexual rape assault is when the mossad prostitute gets the ick 20 years later
>>713109651He has never flown to epstein island. He has flown on the epstein jet from florida to NY like 3 times only and we've known this for years.
>>713113119Both Benny and Harry are shit choices for American leaders. They can only fix it now if they do a duel pack with Andrew Jackson and Richard Nixon.
>>713097119So faggot is okay? Good to know.
>>713113325Well in Trump's case that'd make the girl about 20 years old considering he rapes babies.
>>713113248They're never recovering from Mongol Khan Harriet Tubbman and, even if nowhere near its biggest problem, serves as a useful avatar for the whole rotten game.
>>713113351Need the LBJ pack where his animation is to walk up to the other leader and mog them.
>>713098589Civ 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.
>>713113516Lmao his pussy is so wet
>>713099332I will die on the hill Humankind is underrated. Im sure it was just shit at launch but 100 patches and a couple DLCs later, I had a lot of fun playing it in February. 8.5/10
>>713112450it needs DLC and major additions/overhauls. Little bandaids aint fixing this.
>>713113396you don't belong here karen
>>713112450Combat is fun, so I think it can be saved.
>>713113248>The leaders are so far removed from the core issuesThe 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.
>>713113516turbo boomers are fucked up
>>713105949Heres 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.
>>713104804nobody actually understands what's going on in HoI4. not because it's complicated but because the game hides what's happening under the hood and players just fumble around blind hoping to stumble upon a new meta
>>713107594>Lizzo is a faction leader for America>Greta thunburg is a faction leader for Germany or whereverFinally historically accurate leaders for my geopolitical TBS!
>>713114586At least they are making naval gameplay more clear and realistic now. Sadly they will also be adding some weird kindergarten mechanics to factions in the same update. Hoi4 can be a strange game sometimes.
>>713114445While 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.
>>713113467>They're never recovering from Mongol Khan Harriet Tubbmannobody outside of 4chan even remembers that one, they very quickly scrubbed it
>>713115368>call everyone a shill or other buzzword when they hold a different opinion from you>act indignant when called out on it
>>713114024>Pay moneyEh? 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.
>>713113467I'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
Will firaxis survive? That shitty marvel game also bombed
>>713116402Depends on GTA VI. If 2K rakes in infinite money then everything will be fine, it's business as usual and they'll prop them up. But if GTA underperforms somehow there's sure to be apocalyptic cuts.
>>713112868jesus you're dumb. we knew he was taking money from firaxis. we knew he was advertising, not shilling.
>>713115735She's abolitionist hellen keller, if it weren't just current year brainrot they'd have included frederick douglass. Even a great general or whatever is ridiculous but more justifiable than a leader.
>>713105268If you leave shit out in front of a retard then yes you are responsible for when the retard inevitably picks it up and smears it everywhere or eats it.
>>713096415 (OP)>you actually lose all your progress and go again in the same gameWhy the fuck would they implement such a retarded idea?
>>713097119sounds like a shill

>>713117392see you in a few years for the same rodeo with Civ 8
>>713117392sequels tend to sell based on the quality of the previous game in the series
>>713117467and similarly, sequels tend to sell based on the quality of the previous game in the series...
>>713113881>y-y-you can't shit on my favorite politician
>>713117303But everyone didn't buy it. The game's fucking dead, even civ 5 has more players, like twice as many or something.
>>713096415 (OP)Marbozir is the only good civ content creator
>>713117303I haven't bought a civ game/dlc since the fiasco that was 5's launch. I was actually looking forward to getting back into civ again with 7 until I saw it and decided to skip it too.
>>713113881>muh secret clubTotal frog tourist death.
>>7131173036 was fine at release actually and 5 wasn't but performance patches and the expansions turned it great
>>7131173035 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.
>>713117404just learn to admit defeat already, kid

So far i like what im seeing i just hope that the tides mechanic is better handled that winter was in the first one
