Wait until there’s a steep sale on the Complete Edition later on. I only paid $5 for Civ5 Complete, and I think $15 for Civ6 Complete.

IIRC from when I first got the game, the tutorial hadn’t been updated to account for changes from patches and expansions. It was probably fine for launch day, but decidedly not for the final game.

Culture victories are never really explained, but that was also a Civ5 issue. I never completely figured out how luxuries/amenities are distributed between your cities, and cities don’t show a breakdown, just how many they have. I do like 6 better than 5 over all, though, but I’m also not OP.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the era system is partially to mitigate the late-game AI issues.

Seriously, it’s just a fancy auto-complete. It knows nothing.

Destroys the brand recognition by renaming it to a letter of the alphabet he personally likes but nobody else gives a crap about

I’m beginning to suspect he only likes that letter because it’s the middle part of a swastika.

At least some of them probably can’t afford to replace it if they sell it.

There was that time Sega suddenly dropped the Saturn into the US market months ahead of schedule. Shot themselves in the foot doing it, too.

A mouse mode could be extremely useful for things like Civilization or Fire Emblem. Of course, the touch screen is also great for that and Three Houses and Triangle Strategy didn’t support it.

Sure, but the game sets the resolution, not the console. The game might get a performance boost or a more stable frame rate on better hardware, but unless it gets a patch to detect which system it’s running on and adjust the resolution accordingly, most games will still run in 720p.

Would the NFC system in the stick interfere with hall effect sensors?

I’m guessing the all grey model probably sold better than the one with colorful joycons so they lead with that this time.

Maybe in three or four years when the mid-gen refresh comes out.

Like they said, muy mal.

RROD was actually 3/4ths of a circle. A full red circle was a different and less troubling error.

Unfortunately, that’s the anti-scalper countermeasure. Crippling their crypto mining potential didn’t impact scalping very much, so they increased the price with the RTX 40 series. The RTX 40s were much easier to find than the RTX 30s were, so here we are for the RTX 50s. They’re already on the edge of what people will pay, so they’re less attractive to scalpers. We’ll probably see an initial wave of scalped 3090s for $3500-$4000, then it will drop off after a few months and the market will mostly have un-scalped ones with fancy coolers for $2200-$2500 from Zotac, MSI, Gigabyte, etc.

Holography, the real kind, not the Star Wars kind, is probably the way forward. The display would be about as flat as current ones, but the image would appear three dimensional from any angle and wouldn’t require glasses. You could even lean side to side to change your perspective. I remember reading ages ago that a lab was working on it, but I think they had a frame rate of one every few minutes and it was monochrome and I haven’t heard anything since.

Micro is actually tactics since it’s on the level of a single engagement. Strategy is more about the game as a whole, like scouting and map control.

I just want an RTS I can actually play with my wrist in its current condition. I can do the earliest C&C campaigns, but that’s partially because the AI isn’t good enough to require fast and precise mouse movements. I just physically can’t do micro anymore and attempting it hurts, but most RTS games are designed in such a way that micro is required.

Personally, I started on the first part of the remake trilogy, then stopped when I realized how annoyed I would be about waiting for the sequels. So now I’m waiting for all of it to be out on Steam before I start again.
