why would i buy civ 7 when i have civ 4 in my steam library from 15 years ago?
And Epic gave me Civ 6 for free! Also love Tekken but I'm happy with Tekken 7 especially since it was $6.
Oh shit is be down to play online sometime Tekken is my fav fighting game but none of my friends play it.
I won't be buying 7 until they remove the civ reset mechanic. It is what it is, I have 3-6 to keep me company.
I have not paid any attention to what's in 7. What's the civ reset mechanic now?
Just looked it up aaaand......huh.....I don't think I hate it
Basically there's an 'age' reset which resets everyone's tech level back to the beginning because now there's new age tech and the old tech is obsolete; tech progress resets. If you lagged behind during an age, you're now back to a level playing field. Apparently one of the intents was that some civs that had early game advantage can now carry that advantage with them until the end (in some manner; I'm not sure how exactly it works).
Although it is admittedly more of a crutch for low-skilled players (like myself) that doesn't have anything to offer high-skilled players.
oh, right, the age reset mechanic
it seems interesting and i like it on paper, but i've never bothered with it and honestly probably never will
It's trash that somehow sapped my entire will to play when it happened. I seen a mod turning it off but it still leave the problem of era change being implemented very bad when it went from the fun side mechanic in previous games into primary one in civ7
Even my boomer dad, with hundreds of hours in Civ 5 & 6, skipped 7 cause like "why would I pay $70 for this?"
