I'm sorry, but I can't get over Yoda's speech. "Brought you here, the Galaxy has"

What? Not the Force? The GALAXY?! At least TRY to sound like you're in the Star Wars universe for crying out loud!
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.

Sounds like a great time to me.
@Viper: The best thing though?

Captain is barely ONE FRAKING PERCENT of max rank. 210,000 credits for Captain. 20,000,000 for the max rank.

Frak Bungie right in their ear. I haven't seen a treadmill that bad since hell levels in the original Everquest.
I love swag and am cheap. This means I am the perfect candidate for this giveaway.
@MakeThemListen: I live just up the road from... hey, wait a minute!
@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.
@VasectomyOmega: I think the reason it's such a short review is that Luke wanted to get back to playing Civ 5 ASAP and so he only put bullet points

:)
@fearothwow: Damn I need a queen......

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.
@Aeros: There's supposed to be a demo coming out today also, so you can presumably get a small taste of it for free.

The first hit's on me. Just try it. Everybody's doing it...
@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.
@Jonathan Altman: In short, Kotick seriously misunderstands the medium.

...and the community, and gamers in general, and how to show respect towards history, and how to be a decent human being, and...

Seriously, this guy is the absolute pit of the industry.
@D-K: I made 206 lines last night on the old gameboy version
@RickaMayCry: What was the exploit?

...so I can use it until the patch hits?
They need to fix Gapshot spamming Support players. Destroy entire bases of turrets for $100? Yeah, that's not overpowered...
@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.
@OzymandiasX: Maybe the new Fable is a more accurate analogy.

Molyneux is the king of over-promising and under-achieving, but given the genre of this game I'd put the best analogy at "Daikatana".
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
