Is it worth to go beyond Earth?
« on: November 18, 2014, 04:27:00 PM »
Well, sorry for starting my presence on this forum right with new topic creation...

I know, I know, I read reviews and such... And I was a big fan of good old SMAC(X) too.
But if I would ask you to express your feelings about new Firaxis title in...say...THREE words that could describe this game best way - what these words would be?

Super Bland Characters


(Gameplay wise, it looks like a Civ V reskin. I wouldn't like SMAC that much if it werent for the backstory and personality)

I would, but I think the adage really applies here.

Anyone else feels like it's time to fix the faction graphics bug?

An AC mod would definitely help it go a long way...

Especially if proper social engineering (perhaps even as an extension of the affinity system) could be implemented instead of virtues.

Well, don't you find, guys, that it's a general feeling about most of modern game sequels and remakes? Maybe, waiting is the time-wasting? As for me, I really see no hope, at least from AAA-scene. Indie devs only.

Or are we too old to enjoy the PC-gaming world changing?

I think it may very well have to come from indie devs (and wasn't Firaxis itself fairly indie-like back when SMAC came out?)
