Remembering the build-up to Civ 6's launch, maybe I can make things even better this time. If you want to buy any of the older Civ games (or any game) and support, use this GOG referral link: af.gog.com/?as=1715648857 Thank you!

I play Civ, since Civ I in 1992, and for me Civ 4 is still the best, and one of the best games ever.

Started playing Civ 6 again after the Civ 7 announcement and beat it on Deity for the first time. Sure I played as Portugal on a archipelago map with the Owls of Minerva secret society... almost cheating...but I did it!

I feel like, sometimes, people just want to complain for the sake of complaining. Or feel the need to join a popular opinion, rather than forming their own. I do hope you don't take such ridiculous (and sometimes contradictory) comments too personally :) Have a fun build-up to CivVII!

As someone who is quite new to Civ 6, picked it up anthology in the summer sale, I’m quite excited to play through the series, and at least from my perspective, Civ 6’s hate wasn’t warranted.

No one should hate a game, but as someone who started with CIV3 i can understand people not liking 6, they changed the direction that worked. I like it, but 5 and 4 are better in my opinion.

Civ 6 was my first and I hate it the most. The only reason I don't play 6 is districts, I hate them so much. And the increase in micromanaging is also very annoying.

I just did the same. I played civ6 first and couldnt get into civ5. I'd never played the old ones. So I did civ1 through to 6 recently and enjoyed civ5 a lot more! I think this just goes to show change is hard for us and going through them in order showed me some of the base gameplay that I needed.

Steam user numbers are also incomparably larger now then they were when Civ5 launched and new players are going to gravitate to the latest instalment.

@@Fastwinstondoom It's hard to get exact stats. Rough sales estimates puts Civ 4 at 3 million sales and Civ 5 at 8 million, but as you say piracy and 2nd hand discs etc would leave out a lot of players. That's why the polls from 2016 asked people what their first Civ game was. It focused more on when people got the game and played it, not when (if) they bought it. We couldn't just pull up Steam stats in 2016 because they wouldn't mean much. 50% said they started with Civ 5 and this is before Civ 6 released, so that wasn't an option. This was multiple polls, across multiple communities, with varying sample sizes ranging from a few hundred votes to many thousands. They all floated around half starting with Civ 5. Based on every indicator, Civ 5 doubled the Civ playerbase if not more. It being released on Steam is likely a big factor for that because of ease and accessibility. Similar to how Civ 6 increased it's playerbase significantly by releasing on consoles and the Switch. A lot of people who couldn't or couldn't be bothered to get Civ before could now just get it. Like my friend who is exclusively a Nintendo gamer. Never played a Civ game before until Civ 6 came to the Switch. Also keep in mind Civ 5 was like all other Civ games, it didn't blow up until over 2 years and 2 expansions after release. 2010-2012 was when Steam blew up, I remember I bought a Skyrim disc in 2011 and it just installed a Steam copy. Steam was becoming mandatory and Civ 5 blew up in 2013, right when everyone had been jumping onto Steam.

Always enjoy your videos GamerZakh. I never had a problem with the visual design of Civ 6. I never cared for the district system. It was just not fun to me. I hope that will change in Civ 7.

I started with Civ 4 and what I've consistently noticed with new Civ releases which probably also sours the taste for a lot of people playing their second civ installment is the fact that without fail the base game of the new installment feels like a step back from the previous installment with its expansions. I picked up Civ 5 pretty early and only started playing it a fair amount after Brave New World was released, when it actually started to feel like an improvement over Civ 4. For Civ 6 I waited until I could get the base game bundled with the first two expansions and it just felt like buying a worthwhile base game at that point, which was very enjoyable. Will probably be doing the same for Civ 7.

wait, I was looking for a your gameplay of Civ IV but I just saw a gameplay of Civ 1, some realy old Civ 2 and 3 gameplay and Civ 6 gameplays. I tought i forgot to see the other ones. I would like to see a series from 1 to 6, by you

Haha the older millennial experience I'm thinking. You were also busy around 2010?

Hahahaha, that was tongue in cheek intro.

I was there, 2500 years ago, when the switch from 3 to 4 was happening, and it was not pretty, not at all. New engine, bad performance on older hardware, new rulesets, "bubbly" graphics, axing of the old editor... civfanatics forum was on fire for couple of weeks :) I think you're right. These games are meant to be played for a really long time and people get used to "their way" and any deviation from that is a sin. Also, if they just reskined the older version ( same rules new graphics ) they would be rightfully be called out. Also a fully complete older game with expansion packs, mods etc has a higher value by default but its always nice to try something new in a Civ game. Certanly, if I look jump from 3 to 6 is a massive one and I for one am looking forward to new one ( although I still like to fire up teturkhan world map with 60ish players and go wild in 3)

I never had an issue with the art style of Civ. 6. I prefer a more artistic approach rather than realistic approach to graphics, because 9/10 times artistic styles tend to look less dated in the future than realistic styles do (at least in my opinion that seems to be the case). My issues with Civ. 6 really come from being a casual gamer, who enjoys gaming, but I really only have about four to six hours a week that I can dedicate to gaming. It felt like too much having to plan districts and not have automated workers (I really miss having automated works going about my Civ making improvements by themselves). It felt like too much for me. I really love the game as a whole, I just don’t have the time to really dedicate to understanding the game, and sticking to learning the strategy required for Civ. 6. I’m hoping automated works return in Civ. 7.

I picked up civ 4 "first'. it took me like 4 attempts to finally find enjoyment from the game, but boy when it finally took i decided id try to win a game on 5. once i won a game on 5 decided 6 was finally worth a purchase. at first i liked the designs of the civs in 5 better, but once i shelled out for the anthropology 6 was my game. i tried to play 4 again the other day, it was tough.

Interesting point about 50% of the players who play civ started with civ 5. My first civ game was civ 3 and while I preferred 5 to 6, I did not hate 6. It is a great game and I was burned out from way too much civ 5 so a change of pace was needed! Looking forward to civ 7!

civ6 is my most played game! cant wait for civ7!

I bought CIV III in 2001 I guess by coincidence (was not planned) and it still is the best game I ever played and enjoyed. Never upgraded beyond 😅

For some reason, i feel so proud 😂

Every Civ game is hated until he next game is released, then the haters move on. Almost like they're just complainers and contrarians.

my issue with civ6 was that the district system felt like tedious micromanagement instead of engaging complexity. instead of being excited when i got a new tile i dreaded it because it wasnt the fun part of the game anymore. id ignore and postpone the district stuff until it inevitably became unsustainable.

Been playing since the beginning on pc. Still enjoy III and VI the best. Newer versions have just not been as addictive to me.

But also the whole graph is about players not sales. You can see the launch numbers and how it tanked immediately, sales don't equal players. Civ 7's teaser trailer was published on the 7th of June with the Civ 6 sale and it's normal marketing to give a big sale when you announce the sequel because the last game becomes part of marketing. Civ 6 is still regularly crossing 80K concurrent players, and again, remember this is just Steam we don't have console numbers, of which Civ 5 has zero.

I like Civilization 6.

I wish they would make a game with the visuals of civ3 again. I don't particularly like this 3d look civ6 has. There's something about 2D/ isometric graphics that lends itself to these types of historic / strategy/ god games. It feels more like you're opening an old time map and you're living in the middle ages/ renaissance. Civ3 was my first, maybe this has something to do with it of course. Thinking of getting a PS one again to play civ2 as well.

Civ 6 is Civ 5 with the district expansion. They're the same game to me. Visuals are different but I like them both equally. Civ 7 is coming to Nintendo Switch. That to me says a lot about what to expect. It's not an ambitious game technically. They're going for widest audience possible. I was hoping they would do a major departure from abstract turns and tiles and board game roots, similar to what the XCOM team did with Midnight Suns. I'm sure I'll buy it no matter what it is, but it is a bummer they set Switch as the baseline platform. Switch 2 will probably be out when Civ 7 launches. Civ 6 isn't going to disappear when Civ 7 launches. Nor will Civ 5.

And people will believe what they want to believe, no matter how illogical.

I played a few games of civ 5 but didn't much like it so carried on playing civ 4 until civ 6 came out.

Everytime a new Civ game comes out I have to upgrade my PC, usually for GPU reasons. As a result I end up being quite invested in it, I actually found Civ vi more accessable than Civ v. I prefer more militaristic civs, Mongols were my favourite in Civ v. That said I still have more time spent in Civ v than vi.

Civ 6 has a lot of mechanics to play with, it is fun for a while. However soon you would notice that the ai just cannot handle such complexity ant thus lead to very bad late game experience. The ai seriously slow down in every aspects once you reach industry era. Civ 5's ai at least could maintain some strong armies until modern era, the vox populi mod made decent ai at handling military units' movement and diplomacy, while Civ 6 ai code is not released and thus cannot be fixed by the community.

So save up roughly 99$ for CIV7 and coming DLCs, or wait for sales. XD

It will be fun how much hate civ 7 will get because it is not enough like civ 6. I agree with Zakh it is much easier if you have been with the franchise for many years. People also have a tendency to forget that the old game has a couple of expansions and a lot of work with balancing and mods. A new game starts without all that.

I might want to play Civ 6 because I find the 5 too many options!

I've enjoyed the Civilization series since the original back in the 90s. I think Civ 6 is fun except the religion part. I've won a religion victory once and now I turn off religion victory when I play. If religion went away I wouldn't miss it. Hopefully, Civ 7 handles religion better.

I dislike the look of Civ 6 for all of the usually cited reasons so I didn't get it and remained with Civ 5. I started back on Civ 2 and I've played Civ 4 but I was lured to 5 by hex maps which I prefer (hex and counters wargame background). I will look at version 7 and see what I think. Unfortunately it's an unpleasant tendency of KZread comments to tie the reviewer to the game being reviewed and it seems you got it from both sides in this particular argument, you have my sympathy, I have no idea how KZreadrs put up with this kind of abuse. Anyway, my strategy urges are currently being fulfilled by Stellaris, so bang up-to-date there. 🙂

Game-- Fantastika-- is about ages and epch if you get throu you will bee plaing everry time....🧐

I mean based on the graph you were showing civ 5 had more players than civ 6 for 2 whole years after civ 6 release date. I think that says everything you need to know. Civ 5 is an old game, there's no server to host games, people have to host their game and they play with different modes so they can't play together. And when they do play together the experience is unstable, ppl getting disconnected or losing sync. Vanilla game is very unbalanced today and it's the reason there's not a lot of players today, not everyone knows about the mods such as LEK mod that brings a new experience. However the game itself is still better than civ 6 And you can't take the statistics your mentioning as facts, the pool size is small, it's obvious more than 25% of players hates on graphics of civ 6. I tried countless time playing civ 6, i think they made some nice new concepts, gameplay wise it brings something new. However i couldn't finish a single game because the graphics are just terrible. How can you make a game 7 years later and have worse graphics. Civ 5 is old but it looks like a serious game.

Civ 5 has 120K user reviews while Civ 6 has almost doubled at 230K reviews. 110,000 more user reviews is a much larger sample size. Plus, Civ 4 continued to compete with Civ 5 just the same as Civ 5 competes with Civ 6. Many still say Civ 4 is better than Civ 5. And Civ 6 will continue to compete with Civ 7. None of this says anything about the quality of any of the games. When Civ 6 keeps more players than Civ 7 for 2 years after release and continues to compete with it until 2030, will you say Civ 6 is a good game? No, right? That's just popularity, not quality.

Then when the 2nd expansion releases, people will consider it 'good' and it becomes the most popular. It was like that for Civ 3, 4, 5, and 6. Civ 7 will do the exact same thing. So just keep that in mind when dealing with Civ 7.

It'll be better but don't expect 'good'. Reading about it, 'good' AI for a 4X game is technologically impossible right now.

fun video. especially the complaining about the complainers :P I think for me civ6 was too cartoony and the mechanics felt too "exact" (like you HAVE to build a settler at this and this turn, your academy HAS to be on this and this tile etc...) to really get into. I just want to build a civ. I started with civ3, and it remains mostly my favorite. I'm hoping for a more globalized civ game with a lot of automatic flow of things (like trade, I really liked the trade units introduced in civ5) and less microing particular tiles.Oh and amazing photorealism :P but that's just me

Did they remove the unfun and stupid mechanic of climate change in Civ VI? I've been extremely annoyed about the final stage where it's basically just a sudden death by RNG. Also the number of DLC is yet another argument against Civ VI. Civ VI is still the only civ I haven't bought and only tested it a bit, but it's boring and annoying. It kind of made me go back to Civ IV actually. IV and V are very different games, and both are really good. Civ V seems extremely polished, to the point where it feels a bit generic (and the world feels extremely static), compared to Civ IV.

The climate change mechanic is part of the Gathering Storm expansion, when you create a game you select what version of the game you want to play. So if you pick 'Rise and Fall' or 'Standard Rules', then there's no climate change in the game. If you do pick Gathering Storm, you can also set Disaster Intensity to 0 where disasters have minimal effect.

I really, really hope, that Civ 7 looks way better than Civ 6! I have not played Civ 6 for more than a few hours because of the horrible graphics that remembers me of Clash of Clans and all the other ugly mobile "games" 🙈

Civ 6 is like 2 dollars rn. Easily worst civ ever

What's the price got to do with it? Civ 6 is $3 right now. I bought Civ 5 for $3. Doesn't mean either is better, it's just the massive sale to promote the next game.

@GamerZakh nah it's trash based off the quality of the game. I was saying it's the most played bc it's the newest and it's $2. You don't think it being $2 has anything to do with the player count????

@@PkolGaming Civ 6 has gone on 90% sale 15 times since 2022. Of course that boosts playercount, same as the many Civ 5 sales. But this spike is the first sale that spiked up the numbers to record highs, as it coincides with the Civ 7 trailer. Sale + Civ 7 = 100K record. Sale without Civ 7? Kept floating around 60-80K. Again, I literally bought Civ 5 for the price Civ 6 is at right now. I just don't think the price has anything to do with quality, as your first comment suggested.

I still hate this game's visual style. Just can't stand it!

maybe all the kids growing up with clash of clans got steam accounts now and are playing the toy CIV (CIV 6)

Did you play the older civs? Or are you just a kid starting with civ 5?

People didn't hate the visual style because they weren't aware there was another option. It's not bad by any means, but i doubt most peoppe prefer cartoony

By that approach, a ton of Civ 5 players didn't hate the Civ 5 visual style because they weren't aware there was another option. I didn't really like Civ 5's style because I came from 2, 3, 4.
