Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Civ VI is pretty cheap right now, grabbing it at the moment for 3€, but that might change from region to region.

The dlcs packs are pretty cheap too.

Personally I found 6 to not be as fun as 5. I still play 5 all the time but I lost interest with 6 after less than 100 hours.

Still though, for that price I'd pick it up just to have tried it.

If you haven’t already tried the DLCs, you should. AI gets very improved and the behaviour is much more normal and humanlike.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Sure. I might as well with this good of a sale.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

There are things I like and dislike about both, but the district mechanic is something I find hard to live without.

[–] Randomocity@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Can you really judge a game that you haven't even played through once?

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the writing is bad, it's okay to close the book.

If the acting is poor, it's okay to leave the cinema.

If the gameplay is unsatisfying, it's okay to quit.

Life is short. No sense in wasting it on entertainment that isn't entertaining.

[–] Randomocity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was just joking that when with that much time spent they hadn't finished a game

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Heh. I guess subtlety doesn't come through very well in messages between internet strangers.

[–] Randomocity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

It's so hard to tell sometimes lol

I have done at least one full playthrough of Civ 6 from ancient era until somebody scored a victory. I did a couple other playthroughs that I ended early. Ultimately I just felt like the whole time I wanted to play Civ 5 more

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

does it work on linux/proton?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

Has native Linux support, but if you are playing with friends or other online multiplayer I would recommend the proton version as sometimes updates lag behind.

[–] fpslem@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Native support. 👍 I haven't played it yet, but at this price I'll give it a try.

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 6 points 1 year ago

It is supported, but some of the DLCs aren't 🤦‍♀️

me toooo. thanks!

[–] NaiveBayesian@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

In my experience it runs much smoother on proton than the native version

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

Make sure you don't already have this from a Humble Bundle a little while back.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

The problem with 6 is that the play mode is too structured... Especially early on. Theres not much room for custom play... Every game takes on the same form. Civ 4 was the best in series

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Was free on Epic at some point so check if you already have it if you are someone who claims the free games there

[–] dinckelman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are the dlcs worth getting? I only have Rise and Fall. With the current bundle, I could snag the rest of them, for the price of New Frontiers alone. I can't really say i'm huge into Civ, or knowledgeable about individual leaders though

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The two big expansion packs absolutely. Leader and civ packs are up to you.

[–] dinckelman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ended up buying everything. Comes down to 19 Euro for just about everything, minus the game, and the dlc i already owned, so if I end up playing with friends, it's not a bad deal at all

[–] Lojcs@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Simon bolivar is broken

[–] subtext@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

$2.99 through June 21 in my shop in the US

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Civ6 was buggy as hell on Switch. Anyone know if it's stable on PC?

I want the hours I played back before it corrupted my game save, so $3 is still be too much to ask, to me.
