    Literally everything Gamergate dipshits said about "SJWs" was projection:

    • They're ridiculously sensitive and easy to offend.
    • They want to force the entire industry to conform to their politics.
    • They're single-minded obsessives who go nuclear the moment a game fails a single one of their myriad purity tests.
    • A large portion of them are tourist outsiders invading the hobby who see it as nothing but a tool to push their political agenda.

        I've played 2, 3, 5 and 6. Never played Civ 1 or Civ 4.

        My biggest gripe is not enough USSR leaders

          never played 4

          big oof, purists still really pump it up and play it (i've seen people who consider 5 a disgrace and 6 an abomination lmao)

              4 would be great with all the mods and shit, but the early 3d graphics shit is ugly and i dont say this lightly.

              the awkward move from beautiful 2d to disgusting 3d was a growth period i dont want to revisit.

                Yeah that’s why the graphics to 6 feel like such a step in the wrong direction to me. You have this elegant and beautiful design with 5 and then make 6 look like a mobile game?

                It's always interesting to see different perspectives. I think the graphics of Civ IV are quite charming and I play it to this day.

                  to each their own. I think it's because I played a lot of these in my awful teenage years, like uh... Sacrifice, Empire Earth, Soul Reaver etc.

                  Im glad you can enjoy it though! cat-trans

            I played a ton of Civ 5 as a kid/teenager, Beyond Earth was the first game I got burned on buying, played some Civ 6 and like some things like the climate change and natural disasters.

          4 is good. Probably my favorite in the series. Refined almost all of the jank out of the early series, hadn't yet introduced the all-new jank that started in 5.
