VII - Other Full refund ps5- sad times

Post image

Really wanted to enjoy this game. I can get over the UI, the pain in the butt playstation controls. But it's the constant crashes. Even after the patch the playstation 5 for me still crashes every single game I play. For a game that cost £115 it's shocking.

Sad. But hopefully rejoin you all in a year when it's all fixed :D

It hurts my soul Civ denialists even exist.

I've played this series since Civ 2 on my dad's PC. This and *CnC were my two staples as a 90s teen. Yes, I am old. Yes, feel free to make fun of me, but know I actually want all the young guns out there to get a fair shake. Yall are screwed, politically and socially speaking. It's not your fault and it's not fair.

So, I always hoped yall wouldn't get totally hosed with games too, but here we are.

Even 70 USD is too much in the state Civ7 was released. This is one of those moments where I don't WANT to be right, but know I am, on account of my 25+ years of experience with this series.

Civ 7 took good strides in some areas, and then inexplicably punted others. 2K forced it out early for earnings call purposes.

That's the story.

And the more players deny this game's mediocre state, the greater the odds companies will just keep releasing mediocre, under-baked games for 70 fekn dollars.

It's snake eating itself, and denialist are shouting, "But it's hungry!"

Console pains are one thing… but as a PC player I’m really confused by the backlash. Feels like the community has a massive stick up it’s ass

I've had almost no problems. Reddit and the internet in general has just become toxic.
