Civilization V is such a great game! What do you guys think?

I like IV better, really but, yeah, any Civ game is destined to be awesome to anyone that tries one, and can get over the comparatively steep learning curve. The first one was fantastic at it's time, it spawned an entirely different way to think about video games back then, imho.

Game is really interesting, and really complete but... too much. I played the tutorial, but the game is sooo freaking long and i don't even have any idea of what to do nor how to do it u_u. Saddest thing is that you can't save (i looked everywhere and didn't find it), making my 2hrs of play pointless ><

try Civilization IV you gonna see what is "such a great game"

Game is great but I can't wait till they fix the achievements.

Civ IV > Civ V.
but with all the expansions packs Civ V >>>> Civ IV.

I like the game, but I liked Civ IV more. The combat in Civ V makes me want to throw my controller across the room.

Civ 5 multiplayer does have problems but it is still fun with a group of people to play with so far the max people/friends I have played with was 6

It's great but I don't understand how to play it..

Yes, I just started playing this myself.

I really liked 4 much more than 5. That said people say the expansions are awesome and I have neither(have a bunch of the other DLC though).

Probably the problem really is that Paradox Development Studio have spoiled me - if I'm in the mood for grand strategy I'm likely heading for Europa Universalis III or getting back to work on making a triple crowned(Bohemia, Italy, Sicily) independent medieval state in Crusader Kings II.

Great game. Fun to play, maybe it can be a little overwhelming at first, but that changes soon enough, and then you get right down to the dirty business of taking over the world... and nuking Ghandi ofc.

Several times got my ass kicked by cpus on the "emperor" difficulty. i love that game ;)

Civ 5 is a great game.
i just wish my laptop could run it without the lag :/

I think I need to get the DLC during the next Steam Sale. I got this game from per-ordering Xcom Enemy Unknown and it sat in my library for a long time. With the release of Steam Trading Cards I took the opportunity to play games I haven't touched in my steam library and I am finding all sorts of gems. See I am not one of those people that just idles a game in the background while I wait for card drops. I actually play the game and enjoy my time getting cards. Thank you Steam for giving me a new way to dust off my library.

Has anybody here played the older games? If so, how do you like V? I've only played Civilization II and Call to Power. Civ V does look pretty intriguing.

I don't usually play strategy games, but Civ5 was very easy to understand from the beggining for me.What can I say:One....more...turn....

I haven't tried any of them and I've been wanting too. As soon as I get a source of income I'm going to buy.

I only play it in like 8 hour sittings.

I always found the turns of the Civ games were a bit strange. 300 years to make a unit? SURE.

Still trying to win it, it's way too overpriced in the AU Steam Store.

I truly dislike turn-based strategy games... Can only play RTS.

Well, hujman13 apparently stopped playing Civilization 5 a while ago. It didn't keep his interest very long ^^.
