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.

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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
