Long ago, I solved all of the ways in which PHP made me sad…

…by abandoning it.

Nowadays we have better languages that can do the job at least as well.

What makes you think that? It’s possible that they did it in-house, of course, but there’s no precedent for it. No previous Civ had a linux version done in-house.

I don’t think so. There’s no mention of it on their site.

Do you know who made the port?

Thanks for the perspective. :)

Somebody please wake me up when these atrocities are gone. (And thanks, Steam, for making them easy to discover.)

Are you including Brave New World in that comparison? I’ve never played Civ 5 without it.

I just referred them to 5 because it was almost as good

Why do you consider Civ 6 better than 5?

Edit for anyone else wanting to answer: Please specify whether you’re including Brave New World (or Gods and Kings) in your comparison, since those expansions significantly improved upon the original Civ 5 release.

Lenval Brown, who voiced the narrator in Disco Elysium, will return for Hopetown and voice a key character.

That man’s voice was amazing in Disco Elysium’s opening:

Thank you for saving me the time it would have taken to check it out. I don’t buy Denuvo games.

Between this and Skyblivion (video), perhaps I’ll get to play beautiful versions of the older games. Looking forward to it!

I hope they manage to get it complete, and good. Giving Oblivion another try (this time exploring the rest of the world instead of focusing on the boring main quest) has been on my list for a while, and improved graphics would be welcome.

That font, though… not a good choice for quickly delivering information. Mods to the rescue?

I must say I e never played Skyrim, and I didn’t know how beautiful it could be.

Modern texture packs, replacement models, and lighting mods make it even more so.

On top of that, Skyrim’s soundtrack is outstanding, and conspires with the scenery to make it a game world not easily forgotten. I’m sure I’ll be going back.

Thanks, but having finished the game with Cadence, I think I understand the mechanics.

I still haven’t managed to beat Crypt as anyone other than Cadence. I wonder if this game will be even harder.

Has anyone here tried these?

Civ V had mediocre-to-bad gameplay on release, but was transformed into something good by the Brave New World DLC. I have read that Civ VI was similarly improved (although perhaps with a bit less success) by way of DLC.

Judging by the initial reviews of this one, it looks like a pattern is developing. I guess I’ll once again wait a few years until the “fix” DLC has been out for a while, and buy the combo pack on sale.

Unless they use Denuvo or some other anti-customer nonsense that I won’t support.

The question I’ve had since this sequel was announced: Does it use the same approach to combat skill progression as the original, where players are robbed of agency instead of encouraged to learn effective use of available tools & moves?

Eike Cramer from IGN Deutschland seems to have my answer:

The game design is annoying with forced stealth on top of a frustrating save system. That’s especially true for some of the longer story missions. On top of this, the combat mechanics are extremely inaccessible and, with their mercilessness, put far too many obstacles in the way of the players, especially at the beginning. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is nevertheless an utterly unique, ambitious and, in large parts, very good adventure. But it’s also a video game that misses important points a little too often in the gameplay details and does not respect the player’s time in certain places.

Thank you Eike, and thank you OP for posting those quotes.

I started playing this on PC, but at a certain point, it persistently crashed. A bunch of other folks reported the same problem. I guess non-Deck hardware wasn’t a priority for Valve this time.
