Wow! I seriously just bought Civ Rev the other day. I have been playing the crap out of it everyday. Look me up on Xbox Live o803o VaDeR. Maybe we can play sometime. I havent had the balls to get online yet. I am sure I would get killed. Any Command and Conquer game is similar. I like the ones on the PC better though. Command and Conquer Generals is a great game, but only for PC.

I love Civ and I love my Xbox...but there is no way in hell I would want to play Civ on my Xbox.

In other words, if you love the game, you're doing yourself a disservice by playing it on console.

I would usually agree, but this game is different. It was designed for the console. It is not a copy of the PC game, like the Command & Conquer games.

I never played the PC one, but I am sure it is way more detailed and a better RTS, but my PC is crap, so Xbox will have to do, for me.

Xbox is fine if that is all you've got, but if you do have a PC capable of running the game, it's better on the PC...and I'm not a PC fanboy, I buy most games for my console.

Yeah, I always bought RTS games on PC. They are way better for some reason. I just dont have a PC that can handle gaming anymore.

My computer is probably good enough to play on, but I have never used it for that, but I will give it a shot.

Civ Rev is the only game of it's kind that I find fun on XBox, but I have had a really good time with it for a couple of years now.

MaxZax, I am not into warlords, and dragons and such, are those titles pretty good games if I am just into building nations, armies, etc.

Yeah ton of RTS's on the PC. I wouldn't play them on X-box unless that's your only option. Some that come to mind, Warcraft 3 series, Age of Empires series, Rise of Nations, Sins of a Solar Empire, etc.

Warcraft, no. Age of Empires, yes. Rise of Nations, yes. Sins of a Solar Empire, yes with the caveat that it's in space.

Also all of the above are RTS (Real Time Strategy) as opposed to Civilization which is technically turn-based.

I am going to go get one.

Of the two (Age of Empires and Rise of Nations) which is the better game?

I guess it's personal preference (people consider AoE a classic) but I had more fun with Rise of Nations. I would avoid Age of Empires III if you go down that route though.

I loooooove civ rev. I got all the achievements, played for hours on end. A couple games like it for the 360 worth playing are command and conquer and Lord of the rings: battle for middle earth 2.

Now I know LOTR BMEII is pretty old but I LOVED that game, it is so fun to play. As people said there aren't many good RTS or TBS games on the 360 and most suck really hard but those two were pretty fantastic.

If you have a PC try Civ 4, it is legendary and right up your alley. Don't expect anything to really be likve Civ, they have their own identity but the two strat games I mentioned should keep you gaming for a while. Course if you have a PC there are a ton of strat games, RT and TB. I like real time but Civ did a great job at the TB.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay

      If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
