Well I for one can't wait to sit for 10 minutes in one of these matches as each side fields 4 snipers who sit in at their spawn waiting to kill whoever approaches.
@ifandbut: I'm not sure there's any video game that can make that promise. Computers and AI algorithms simply aren't mature enough to that point yet. No computer, playing by the same rules as a human, will be as creative, intuitive, or skillful at a complex game like Civilization. Not for a long, long while.
NO! She'll just make you turn off Civ 5 to go "spend some time with her friends" or "go shopping". Screw queens. Have a few mistresses to give you an heir and rule with an iron fist.
@Cheesepie: Package Tracking is the bane of my existence. Knowing that right now, on my front doorstep, is Civilization 5 all ready to go is killing me.
@Duisterwoud: Welcome to New Blizzard. Old Blizzard would rather push a launch back 3 years if they didn't have a flawless game (first WoW trailer I saw had "Winter 2002" as its tagline). New Blizzard is about getting as much cash for Activision as possible - to hell with bugs.
You're nothing but a source of cash to New Blizzard. Their reputation as a quality game developer will be dead in 2 years.
I see a lot of hype but no gameplay footage. Maybe "in-game" footage, but nothing that shows me what it's going to be like when I sit down to play the game
Gimmie a video with a UI and show me what the game is really going to play like and I'll get excited. Until then, you're nothing but Peter Molyneux
