Game looks fun tho.

Civilization VI E3 Demo - Narrated by Sean Bean

Game looks good but the art style (minus the neat map-fog-of-war thing) isn't doing anything for me.

 

[Flare]

Can't wait to play the game... But, have to echo the opinion that the artsyle isn't doing anything for me.

 

[CoconutTank]

I guess I'm glad I'm not rustled by the art style lol

 

[Poodlestrike]

Visuals don't bother me. Pretty much all I ask for in my Civ games. I'm not here for the looks.

 

[Disxo]

That gave me goosebumps

People are bothered by the graphics?
Hahahaha

 

[Fata1moose]

I really like the game's map-like undiscovered area, the art style is perfectly suitable as well.

 

[CharminUltra]

I'm digging the guraficks.

 

[Slackbladder]

I'm getting used to the aesthetics. It helps that the animation is pretty good and the day/night cycle is a great touch. It will be a day one purchase for sure.

Wow, that was an incredible look at the game. I'm really liking Civ 6 so far, all of the new mechanics seem fantastic to me.

Nice thanks

 

[SpartanN92]

I still play Civ 3 to this day...I've never been able to get into the new ones ever since they removed stacking units in one tile and the art style has gotten too cartoony.

 

[El Topo]

Live stream is on. I really hope they do more than just discuss the video walkthrough of the E3 demo.

They're literally just going through the same gameplay demo we've seen god knows how many times.

NEW GAME OR RIOT

 

[everyday math]

This is lame

 

[El Topo]

Man, what douchebag got us all hyped with the live stream?
...
Oh. Right. Sorry.

 

[Poodlestrike]

No but seriously, can we get one actual game?

 

[TheFatOne]

Love Civ, but man that art style is garbage. Makes the game look bad. Will be buying this day 1, but I wish it didn't look so ugly.

 

[ghst]

oddly enough, graphics matter more to me in a civ game than most other games.

it's like anno, the game serves as a wonderful bit of wallpaper. like a fish tank, fireplace or ornamental globe. a soothing window to a beautiful patchwork landscape which you feel some real investment in as you survey all that you have created and conquered.

feel fuck all investment looking at this revolting iOS mess. utter garbage. rid this filth from mine eyes, modders.

 

[El Topo]

Three types of barbarian camps: Melee camp, Cavalry camp, Naval camp. Location (somewhat) map-dependent.
Man, they better show some new gameplay.

 

[Real Hero]

First time an art style change has really annoyed me. everything else seems coo but the game just looks cheaper

 

[Erevador]

It is just so, so ugly.

I would believe you if you told me it was a game from ten years ago.

 

[Belgorim]

I do not get it, it looks great?

 

[CoconutTank]

I'm asking questions on the live stream but I'm not getting any answers back :<

 

[Poodlestrike]

The emphasis on the leaders informing their particular era makes me hopeful that alternate leaders will be in, or at least added.

It is just so, so ugly.

I would believe you if you told me it was a game from ten years ago.

Yeah, it's basically a PS2 game.

Wait, wrong platform.

 

[El Topo]

I'm asking questions on the live stream but I'm not getting any answers back :<

I don't think they're answering anything yet.

 

[CrocMother]

I can't hate on the graphics until I see if it really is molded around the gameplay like Firaxis has suggested.

 

[Thelonelykoopa]

I don't see anything wrong with the graphics; looks better than civ 5 to me.

 

[yamo]

"Our enemy knows us well"

Attacks with cavalry and musketmen against an enemy with infantry and tanks. :3

 

[El Topo]

What a pointless stream. They showed nothing new, they answered virtually nothing.

 

[CoconutTank]

So uh that live stream pretty much just rehashed what we knew about before eh

 

[Poodlestrike]

I did learn about the policy system, which I didn't really get before.

Otherwise, meh. Really hope that's the last time we see that gameplay demo.

 

[Brokun]

Sean Bean to replace David Attenborough confirmed.

I think the art style looks great. Screw the haters. I can't wait for this.

 

[Disxo]

I don't see anything wrong with the graphics; looks better than civ 5 to me.

They want the "realistic look" the series never had.

 

[Real Hero]

They want the "realistic look" the series never had.

nah I'm all for an exaggerated art style, this looks like the most generic and typical way of doing that it's seems like a downgrade

 

[Agremont]

They want the "realistic look" the series never had.

Or simply thought Civ 5 looked much much better. Which it did.

Just compare the leader screens for example. The new one is really uninspired.

 

[Chaos17]

Meh...

I think more that's an upgrade.

 

[Agremont]

Maybe technically. But it's the artstyle most people are bothered by.

 

[Blooddimond]

Meh...

I think more that's an upgrade.

It's a lot cleaner, yes, but Civ V also came out in 2010. Total War and the like shows what it could look like with more recent tech.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Was that Sean Beans voice in the trailer?

 

[komplanen]

Love the art style but the fog of war over the sea looks bad.

 

[samn]

Meh...

I think more that's an upgrade.

that civ 5 shot is on very low settings

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Meh...

I think more that's an upgrade.

meh

It's ok. It's not the complete abomination that I thought it was, but I still don't love it.

 

[inherendo]

Are you really going to get great wall with what looks like a hill and grassland horses in your capital?

 

[CoconutTank]

Well the player has a religion, and based on the next social policy cost, the player has at least 3 or 4 policies invested.

Maybe Monument to the Gods + Religious Community + Aristocracy can help with the low hammer count

Edit: Actually Guruship might be more useful at this time than Religious Community. Only 4 followers eh.

 

[Mr. F]

I was trying really hard, but yeah I'm finding myself slightly on the side that doesn't really dig the aesthetic. That fog of war sketch effect doesn't really jive with the rest of it, either.

I'll still play the shit out of it, but dang.

 

[Disxo]

Have they explained how espionage works?

 

[grmlin]

I played all the civ games from 1 to 5 and it's by far the game series I played the most in my life.
So this game is a no-brainer for me, can't wait to play it.

The good thing about the graphics for me: my old PC may be able to run it properly And honestly, I see the potential of mobile versions coming, too, this time.

 

[Rentahamster]

I enjoyed that Sean Bean narrated video. Get hype. Gameplay mechanics look cool.
