Topic: Are you getting civilization VII?

1.) Will you be buying Civilization VII for your switch (or other gaming options being that Civilization VII will be cross play)?2.) what edition (base $70, deluxe $100, or founders $120)? 3.) why will you be buying the game or your chosen edition?

1.) heck yeah I've already got it pre-ordered and the $120 set aside for the big N to take that amount on jan 30 (official release date is February 11, but if you pre-order the founders edition and maybe the deluxe you can play civilization VII five days early on February 6th, thus Nintendo takes the money a week prior)

2.) The founders edition, I want to start playing it as soon as I can and I'd almost certainly be buying all the DLC for civilization VII anyways so why not just pay all at once with a possible slight discount over buying each DLC option separately.

3.) because I've loved civilization series since my first civ game civilization 4. I have over 250 hours in civilization VI on my switch and probably the same on my steam (PC). The game just is so random and is nearly almost always never the same way twice so it's to me at least a new game every time I start a new game with a different civ on a different map it has nearly unlimited replayability. Plus the fact that it will be backwards comparable with the switch 2 (which I 100% am getting) is cool.

nah i won't be buying it i have VI but never really play it anymore.
I might get it on Switch 2 tho.

I'm getting it but I'm yet to decide when and for which platform. I'll know better once the new console reveal happens. I want to make sure I only need to buy it once while having the best experience I can.

Will likely get on PC first them switch successor when it drops in price. I realize i am not helping the cause but a sale is a sale.

Nope! I'm very disappointed about the changes in the game; i.e., the change in progression of the game making it shorter. Personally, I like the long drawn-out games and the Civ 7 changes are not for me. I've been playing Civ since about '92... Civ, Civ 3, Civ 5 and Civ 6 with thousands of hours but this time I'll stick with Civ 6.

I somewhat liked civ 6 but didn't play nearly as much as I played 4 back when I was young. Given that civ 6 eventually went on 80-90% off sales, I'll probably wait a couple years for the price to drop for 7.

Seeing how bad VI ran on Switch, nah...

It didn't? Or is this another game you're talking about that you just hear word from other people and assumed it to be the case? Then again I've never gone past like... idk how many turns people normally play but when you get up there in those numbers even the PC version struggles that high up.

@KaiserGX Talking about performance, they did already say for VII that they would restrict the map sizes in some cases for the Switch version

Yeah for me, VI ran horribly once you got a game going, and not to mention the constant crashes, which were even worse when you had some of the expansions enabled. Even tried smaller maps before and I still dealt with horrible lag and crashes.

Assuming VII is as good as the series has always been, I'll get it for Switch 2. But it does sound like they are "shaking up" the gameplay a bit, so as always I will wait for reviews.

2.) what edition (base $70, deluxe $100, or founders $120)?

I haven't looked into it, but from what you said, sounds like I can order all the DLC ahead of time? Yeah, I'd probably do that if there was a decent discount.

3.) why will you be buying the game or your chosen edition?

I've been playing it since the very first one, and Pirates!, Colonization, etc. I like turn-based strategy games 'cause I like mulling over possibilities until my brain burns.

I'm a DLC completist (except skins, cosmetics and nonsense), so gimme everything!

No, the changes sound terrible. Probably just another franchise killer, because it is so trendy nowadays.

That said I want to get a PC for older games and play the classic Civilization games.

Probably not until 5 years after the game's released, once all the expansions are out and it's been fully realised...and you can get the whole package for £10 or so. Civ doesn't strike me as one of those games where it pays to be a day 1 adopter unless you're especially enthusiastic about it.

Tbh, I've been playing Civ VI for years now and it's my all-time most-played game on Steam...and I still have barely any idea what I'm doing. I could probably still get hundreds more hours out of the game before I'm ready to move on. And I've not really seen anything in Civ VII to entice me yet.

No. I never played the past games and it's releasing in a stacked month.

I didn't have any issues on CIV besides maybe one crash but I didn't buy it at launch I got it kind of late. I got kinda addicted to it and had a real fun time on Switch. I wanna jump back into it again. It's a good game on its own. Not really experienced with the others. I did play 5 on PC but not much. Been starting to not play games on my PC anymore, well it's been a couple years since I got on Steam.

I'll definitely get it eventually, but definitely for PC. These games are designed to be played with a mouse

I played a heck of a lot of Outback Tycoon on the Switch and not a lot else, so my experiences may not be typical.

Still, I found that, after a few hours, it would start to get slow and laggy, but that would get fixed when I closed it and restarted. Just suspending the game won't do that, however, so bear that in mind. I'd suspect that it might had a memory leak problem, which also happens on PC, but is less of an issue there because they've typically got a lot more RAM than a Switch has.

I'm usually not one for caring about the budget of a game. But I couldn't shake the less-than-mobile-quality feel of Civilization VI. I remember really enjoying Civilization Revolution back in 2008. However, Civ VI felt like a cheap knockoff.

Maybe Civ VII will change my perspective?
