Civilization gets boring?!?!? Getouttatown!

Depends on the circumstances.

Civilization 4, even with Spock, failed to grab me the same way Civ 3 did. Of course, that didn't keep me from spending a few dozen hours in it first!

You found the crippled half-cousin more compelling? :P

Not the biggest fan of Civ III here. Always preferred II and consider IV the best in the series.

So, Civ II is the retarded uncle, by your definition? :P

Yeah but one of those really lovable retarded uncles. :D

I've always preferred the intelligent if "crippled" cousin myself. Thoughtful, coherent dialog after all. :D

Besides, Alpha Centauri is better than all of them...that's right, I went there.

Oh no you didn't! :P

I'm still addicted to the game, eight years later....one of my all-time favorite titles. Must be the personality of the faction leaders, the hilarious dialog, and the awesome and often haunting secret projects.

Oh, I mean, Civ IV is at the same time a good game... but in the other hand, I can't stand by it (I only played Civ IV)

It's a very complex game though...

Well, let me continue my game, with Russia and Portugal trying to conquer the whole worldHaha! Gotta love the ruskies - IMO the best civ in the game.

Civilization sucks. Always did always will.

It is a brilliant game but too much preaching and philosophising... I'll keep it Civ style for preference.

And Black Barook you are not longer welcome in this section of the forums after comments like that. :P

(Just kidding)

Me, I've always found that the recent Civ games have too much goofing off and attempts at humor, for what should be a serious game. Doesn't mean I don't really like them.

Can you blame me? Every time I play that game they ALL gang up on me. I don't even know why! The only way I can last for half an hour is to have a higher culture rating then all the other civis.

Wait, you're arabicJust kidding my friend Anyway, we shall make another RON gameBut a serious one:P

Spore's different stages of game play sounds great and the idea that you can play using other people's content is cool.

Now about Civ 4, specifically the Beyond the Sword expansion, if you've played it and got bored with it or got beat all the time, you've got to try the Fall from Heaven 2 mod. If you're into fantasy, you'll love this mod. Even tho it's still not complete, it's a treat to play. You want to play tree hugging elves or gold grubbing dwarfs, this is your game. Or say vampires, Orcs or mages it has it all. Needless to say I like this mod a lot.

Oh I like it now You know, I managed to conquer Spain and France(In a Russian/Portuguese war^^)

Love the beyond the sword expansion

Spore is going to be released on September 7th /08. A long time away, but at least we know!!

I got the e-mail about it earlier today. I was running through my house, flailing with excitement. Good thing I was home alone at the time.

I think that it sounds really cool. I watched the video about it, and it looks amazing.

I like this game) It was really interesting to raise new kinds of substances

Might be time to shut this thread methinks and direct all future posts to the Spore subsection of these forums which happens to be here.
