Should I get Civ5??

No... you should win it!

Yes.

Just buy the third game

Sounds like the perfect game for you. Loving the game so far, the hotseat function is a godsend.

As someone who has put several hundred hours into Civ 5, I'd say definitely. It's definitely a thinking game, and you have to plan to build your civilization according to your strengths/the type of victory condition you're aiming for.

Pick up the Gold Edition to get Gods and Kings though - the religion and espionage stuff adds a lot to the game IMO.

Don't buy it. It will consume your life.

I've played every single Civ game since they came out in 1991 and although Civ V may feel a bit simplified compared to the older ones, it makes for a faster, smoother game with less flipping through the civilopedia to figure out what to do next. Multiplayer is lots of fun. I enjoyed it and recommend it.

Buy it. With Gods and Kings.

It's eye opening really.

get Civ 3 for 1.24$ IMO the best civ game there is. Civ 5 was a disappointment.

If you like turn based strategy games, then yah.

Civ 4 was better :(

Buy Civ5 GOTY! It's on of my favorite strategy games... It plays like a nice game of chess and its lots of fun! I really can't recommend it enough! Specially if you play it against friends (AI is great and all but nothing beats a good ol' nerd night with pizza beer and a civ5 lan)!

Civ V is the most noob friendly Civ and 2nd best Civ. The Civ III is the best Civ.

best civ in my opinion

Do it now.

Why don't you just, you know try the demo?

Yes. Even against the ai the game is fun. definitely long term play. I was poor when it came out and sank countless hours into the pirated version. Not so much once I owned it :$

if you want life, then dont buy it xD
but if you dont care about life then you need to buy it :))

No, you should get Civ V Gold Edition :D

no

If you decide to get it, make sure to get Gods & Kings as well. It makes the game much better.

Get the Civilization IV Complete Pack instead. Also, you'll probably enjoy Knights of Honor and the games from the Paradox Development Studio - Victoria, Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis (along with the Rome spin-off), Hearts of Iron and Sengoku. You also gave away Victoria II instead of playing it your self for some reason.

i don't really play strategy games in general but i like civilization v and i play it, i would suggest to get it.

yes, but be warned, you might suffer serious sleeping shortages while playing this game

No. Buy Civilization IV. It's MUCH better. Better gameplay, more complex, and very nicely modded by the community.
