Civ 5 is funner IMO, but they're actually pretty different. Both have steep learning curves as well.
EU4 is much, much, much more hardcore than Civ 5.

I think Civ 5 would probably be more friendly to someone who has never played the series before.
I finished Showdown last week if I'm not mistaken. Please do share your impressions later on regarding Autosport!

Only played Civ 5 of the two but I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Civ 5 isn't an RTS.

Good you just need to increase the sensitivity.
If you have fond memories of triple triad then you might want to check out Card City Nights, apparently the gameplay is somewhat similar.

civilization V is several times easier to get into than europa
basically the europa series is what you try when you "graduate" from the ciivilization series
jut remember to buy civilization with the brave new world Dlc ..it makes the games several times better

It is turn based, not RTS, but it is awesome. You can start out in any time period you want and yes you advance to later time periods
. I highly recommend it if that sounds like it would be any funSourtreats

SteamWorld Dig has been a surprisingly addictive purchase.
Will do, thanks!

Are you still supposed to adjust the LOD bias for SGSSAA using Nvidia Inspector?

Thanks Teppic for Zeno Clash, for a while I thought PMs to modbot on mobile were broken
Bought it too, seemed like a good deal. Haven't played it yet though.

Ya'll better be voting Goat Simulator. Or I will find you.
Nice, thanks. It will be good to try RE4 with proper PC controls after, ah... "experiencing" the original PC release control scheme.

Anyone who played that mess deserves a badge of honor.
Especially if they somehow managed to beat it with just the keyboard.
Octodad really is a charming and amusing game that I highly recommend just to experience something off the beaten path, but I do have to warn it falls apart a bit at the end as they try to do more and more complex stuff (stealth for example).
Hopefully a sequel is made which goes further for the adventure side of things, that just happens to have getting around normally and being spotted as the failure mechanic rather than trying to make it something it just doesn't fit in.

This really pisses me off. I would have loved to buy RE5, and both versions of Dead Rising 2 if they had been on sale.
I don't give a shit about online play for those games.

It is a really good game. Great visuals, fun and intuitive gameplay, compelling progression. When you get beyond the feeling people have that it doesn't live up to whatever they thought or were told it was, or go in blind, and just play it as a game... it's really solid.
I loved it entirely.
I'd find a way to live. For the few Ubigames I have, and the fewer that I like, someone would release a crack.

oi... dont steal my bits!
anyway swamped at work tonight, quick yay for Shovel Knight, and thanks to Monk who helped me get a 50 gift card, I can pay it forward appropriately... oh yes

It's okay, I think the pirates have no-uplay cracks already.
(Now Ubi just needs to start using those, like they did for that hilarious POP giveaway or whatever it was)
Have some leftovers!

So is modbot down? Sent a PM to register games, still no reply.
Modbot is dead...
Took 5 minutes to get my reply.
There are also those toggles you can hit that speed up combat and the drawing/magic system. As much as I hated the draw system everything else in FF8 makes it my favorite FF game.

Won't stop picking the right nation
The series are so different, though, that there's nothing you can really learn from Civ 5 that would help you with EU4, so it depends to a great extent on what you want from a strategy game. Civ 5 is fine for what it does, but if you want a much more in depth game that takes into account actual history, then EU4 is a much better choice.
i want this game so bad but i'm worried about the lag or ping, how is online?

That looks really nice, what's the cheapest place to get it or is origin full price the only option?

awesome - thanks guys. finally going to dive into civ after all these years.
i guess i should go for the "complete" version...over vanilla
also, 5 is the best of the series?? or should is an earlier one better...i don't really care about graphics and multiplayer...

^ say goodbye to your weekend
simplycdkeys had it for £14 ... and it is still that price!
Although it's not a site that we love to recommend but it's a big price slash.
I dunno! I launched it, couldn't connect to EA (it blamed me) but it let me go to options (at which point it tried to connect again), then I started a match by myself, before I knew it people had joined.
We couldn't complete the match though, we were waiting around doing nothing after a round or two, not sure if there was a missing zombie or some other glitch,
But the visuals and sounds are awesome, gameplay seems fun too - in a bit of that great mindless sort of sense.
