does it work on linux/proton?

fpslem ,

Native support. 👍 I haven't played it yet, but at this price I'll give it a try.

me toooo. thanks!

It is supported, but some of the DLCs aren't 🤦‍♀️

Rentlar ,

Has native Linux support, but if you are playing with friends or other online multiplayer I would recommend the proton version as sometimes updates lag behind.

I heard a lot of heavy Civ IV and V players criticize VI as being worse than those two (especially with mods), what is the general opinion on this?

bionicjoey ,

IMO 5 > 6 > 4

But it's been ages since I played 4. I remember it being pretty good. Maybe if I played both 6 and 4 again I would come out with a different ranking. But 5 reigns supreme. The mechanics are just so much tighter and more interesting.

Krill ,

For what? IV and VI have a lot going for them. V is total trash.

Civ V was the first one I played. I could not get into 6

Rentlar ,

I've been playing Civ 6, with and without the mods. Custom Leaders and many combinations of mods tend to make the game desync after 100 turns on quick speed, but I enjoy it.

I've enjoyed civ 5 too but just haven't played as much I guess. The DLC being so numerous, my rating of Civ 6 against 5 would depend on which "edition" you have. It bugs me that it doesn't show which civs you didn't own don't appear until after you select them in the menu.

5 is simpler, but still with a lot of depth and a high skill ceiling. 6 just added more systems without much rhyme or reason. That's what I felt anyway, I also massively preferred 5's art style.

ryathal ,

That's probably the best way to put it without writing an essay. 5 is intentional with mechanics, new ones become available as older ones become automated or less relevant. 6 is just a constant barrage of things happening, especially with gathering storm.

Civ IV is the GOAT.

JackbyDev ,

Honestly, after playing some of Paradox's Grand Strategy games I prefer those. It's not a fair comparison since they're so wildly different though. I love Crusader Kings 3. The way you're playing a very specific person as opposed to your empire in an abstract sense is very fascinating to me.

Personally I found 6 to not be as fun as 5. I still play 5 all the time but I lost interest with 6 after less than 100 hours.

Still though, for that price I'd pick it up just to have tried it.

edwardbear ,

If you haven’t already tried the DLCs, you should. AI gets very improved and the behaviour is much more normal and humanlike.

bionicjoey ,

Sure. I might as well with this good of a sale.

EncryptKeeper ,

There are things I like and dislike about both, but the district mechanic is something I find hard to live without.

Randomocity ,

Can you really judge a game that you haven't even played through once?

mox ,

If the writing is bad, it's okay to close the book.

If the acting is poor, it's okay to leave the cinema.

If the gameplay is unsatisfying, it's okay to quit.

Life is short. No sense in wasting it on entertainment that isn't entertaining.

bionicjoey ,

I have done at least one full playthrough of Civ 6 from ancient era until somebody scored a victory. I did a couple other playthroughs that I ended early. Ultimately I just felt like the whole time I wanted to play Civ 5 more

P0rkduck ,

I chucked!

I guess you didn't read the news?

voracitude ,

This news, from January 2024? https://www.pcgamer.com/dark-and-darker-dev-claims-nexons-preliminary-injunction-has-been-dismissed-court-rules-that-the-game-cannot-be-considered-an-infringement-of-nexons-copyright-or-trade-secret/

First reported by TheGamer, a member of Dark and Darker developer Ironmace has stated on the game's Discord that they have achieved an early victory in staving off Maplestory publisher Nexon's copyright lawsuit, with a South Korean court dismissing the publisher's preliminary injunction.

I have to ask, because you didn't bother to link it and I also had not read the news. Which, believe it or not, isn't a personal failing.

The skin is for mercenary - definitely my favorite character to play as! Excited to have some new stuff to unlock too. The artifacts seem pretty fun

There's something about that ™ next to the title that makes me want to give it a negative review without ever having played it

Did they really trademark the word "ENDLESS"

It's trademark, not copyright.

They have it reserved only for what concerns the videogames setting.

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe , to Games in Hades II - Early Access Patch 1 Notes

I beat [BAD GUY IN TARTARUS] and [BAD GUY ON SURFACE] when it was still really hard

I like the changes, those wins felt very cheap and circumstantial. It was super fun, but the changes definitely make it 'feel' better. I love this dev team for listening to the community
