Should I get Civ 5?

You can skip the movie. You just need to find the Civ folder, and rename or delete the movie file. I think it's a great game and it's unlikely that it'll drop much more in price. But I've never played anything resembling a strategy game (aside from the Heroes of Might and Magic series) before this, so take my opinion for what it's worth.

Just do it.... it's cheap and the only DLC's missing in the GOTY edition are avialable in a combo pack for 2,50 I think. And the Movie is just an alternativ loading screen... and you can't skip a loading screen... of course!

Civilization III is the best game in this series, IMHO.

Get it

I'd wait for the gods and kings expansion if I were you.

Replay the WW2 scenario in Civ2 instead.

IV was the best but I wont lie... V was good too.

JUST BUY THE DAMN THING!

Buy it, highly doubt it will drop any further.

personally:
IV>V>III>II (i never played CIV I)
i loved CIV IV however i cant deny that CIV V is also very good.it has excelent graphics, great UI and almost perfect soundtrack.
its totally worth the price at 75% discount. again my view is that CIV V is a good simplification of CIV IV making the game easier to play while perfecting some of the great things of CIV. the only thing that bothers me is the lack of religion.
Since you are a massive CIV fan you will certanly like this game.
The movie for me last only about 10 secs and i have a prety crappy laptop. in my descktop the movie almost skips instantly. for me it's not something that bothers me since i prefer to see the movie then the normal "nividia, ati, intel core" or whatever intros.

If you liked every other Civ, you're sure to like this one.

To get rid of the movie, there's a trick - I think you just have to go into a settings.ini file, and set a value to 0. I googled "remove intro Civilization 5" and got a nice tutorial. You'll just have a black screen, but it should make things faster.

IV was the best one, but V is a somewhat more streamlined Civ; which certainly isn't a bad thing because it is great. Definitely pick up now cause it's so cheap.

If you like CIV then I would say go for it :)

Yes.

this is the civ i less liked in the end, but still like it. have to wait for the next dlc tough
