Civ VI Huge 95% off steam deal (store.steampowered.com)

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 3 weeks ago

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

[-] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

[-] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 3 weeks ago

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.

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

[-] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

does it work on linux/proton?

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

[-] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

me toooo. thanks!

[-] NaiveBayesian@programming.dev 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] LordCrom@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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 3 weeks ago

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

[-] dinckelman@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

Simon bolivar is broken

[-] subtext@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

$2.99 through June 21 in my shop in the US

[-] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Don't mind if I do.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks 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.
