Sid Meier's Beyond Earth Free Weekend


Plewis

Recommended Posts

FYI Free weekend on Steam to download and play Beyond Earth. I think it ends sometime tomorrow.

I bet we have some Civ 5 fans here who've wanted to try Beyond Earth. It's free on Steam this weekend. Just downloaded it and it seems pretty good even though I just got destroyed about 35 turns in on my first game.

I am so lost when trying to play a Civ game.  I have Civilization V but feel like such dunce when I launch it.

Same thing for me. I love RTS games and it looked like Civ V was an RTS but it isn't. It's turn-based. Opened it up and was totally lost. I didn't understand why it was one of the best-rated games of all time and set it down for about 6 months.

One day I watched a couple playthrough commentaries and started to understand then before I knew it I wracked up 150 hrs of gametime. Good luck.

i need to get the expansions.

Can you download it?

Where?  I'm not much of a PC gamer, but the winter is my dead time of the year and will need something to get me from Thanksgiving to mid Jan.

You played civ 5 without its expansions? GET THEM

 

I've put many hours into civ 5, the expansions improve the game greatly.

 

Edit: Beyond Earth sucks balls. Civ 5 is way better. With Beyond Earth, all of the civ choices play almost identically. There is very little difference whereas on civ 5 the civs all play very differently. In my opinion the replay value of civ 5 is way way way better than beyond earth.

I lasted like 5 hours on BE.  They updated it though apparently, I haven't tried.

 

And yeah ditto, you have to get Civ5 expansions (at this point it may be cheaper to buy "complete" edition, not sure) because the two big expansions are huge.  One fixes early game and one fixes the end game, IMO.

    • And perhaps to a lesser degree, Coker, Umanmielen, Ransom, & Smith-Wade. 
    • I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!
    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.
