the district system really makes cities feel distinct from one another

But in Civ 5, even hardest AI was easy to beat for us, and we are having trouble keeping up in civ 6 with just the default normal AI

Wonders aren't easy mode cheat anymore. Can only build so many wonders around a city, and AI often gets them as well. No more every wonder of the entire world for one city anymore (because of districts)

You also have to keep people happy. Had to do it in other civ games, but in civ 6 its almost like a grand strategy way of doing it. You need to get amenities for your people, by building certain districts or getting luxury goods.

There are also other things to keep track of, but I don't remember it all.

Only complaint I suppose is once a district is built, you can't tear it down. So you are forever stuck with that district. Kinda annoying.

this edit sums up all of the reasons I DON'T like civ 6 as much as 5

EDIT: Also, I find pretty much everything I can remember added by Rise and Fall REALLY annoying, mostly because most of the stuff I remember is related to the new loyalty system that I hate, Genghis Khan is nice though

EDIT2: I just find the stuff really tedious

Hey guys, there's this game called Dwarf Fortress coming to Steam. Anyone heard of it? I'm afraid it's gonna be another early access Minecraft clone.

Looks like it's another one of those games that stay in Early Access forever. GOD I hope there's no microtransactions or season passes!

I hear it's an asset-flip of Gnomoria!

Wow, so he finally did the thing he said he never wanted to do, and that was tie his release to combined group efforts of graphic artists. I imagine much won't really change, and maybe this will be going forward a more stable and canon version of DF that people other than diehard fans can come to know. Be nice if it blows up on Steam and secures his and Zach's future....but I guess I won't be holding my breath for that to happen.

I hate to bring up Humble again but I thought some of you might be into this month's Humble Monthly. Mutant Year Zero and two things I don't really care about, plus all of the crud that gets revealed next month, for $12.

Well, I wanted Niche in that humble bundle, but my card got declined for whatever reason. I guess I'll wait for a steam sale or whatnot.

Am I getting pickier, or are Humble Bundles becoming more obviously 0-1 games you might be interested in, 1-3 big name games that are crap, and some assorted low-grade crap?

It's not just you. Humble Bundle has become less worth it since it was acquired by IGN. Go figure.

[CABL]

I just take free games from Humble. Humble doesn't accepts rubles, so I'm not buying a whole lot from them.

Speaking of free games from Humble, they've currently got Grid 2 (a racing game) free for 2 days.

I think its more than that. I think Game Devs in general are trying to rein in game sales. I mean, look at Steam sales recently. There used to be all sorts of crazy good deals, and that's changed too.

Hmm I'm not sure - I think it's a mix. I think that you'll probably feel that sales are getting worse because you've already got a lot of what you wanted on a super cheap sale. I know I've got pretty much every game I wanted to play in the last 10 years or so in my library, and most of those were on amazing deals. I keep seeing them come up, but I've already got them.   

I do feel there is some skewing though towards 'relatively good deals on most stuff' instead of 'amazing deals on a few things'. I don't blame them on that at all - how many times have you heard (or said yourself) 'I'll just wait till it's on sale on steam'? It's become so ingrained that every game will at some point go on a mega-sale that I imagine devs are feeling the strain a bit on it.

[Persus13]

I won't deny its a subjective feeling, and my game library has increased in size, but the main thing is that games I've seen go on sale or own haven't been going on sale for as much or as frequently. The example that instantly comes to mind is Paradox. EUIV's older DLCs used to go on 75% off fairly frequently, but in the current sale they're all 50% off. Similarly there was a Paradox Humble bundle awhile back where you could get the big 4 Paradox developed games at the time (Vicky 2, HofI3, CKII, and EUIV) in the cheaper two tiers. More recent Paradox bundles have been much less generous with the same titles, even though those games are years older.

That's just one game dev example, but I don't think they're the only ones who are changing their sale strategies. And that's fine, its just different. I'm just saying HumbleBundle having diminishing returns is something I think would have happened even without being acquired by IGN.

Wurm Unlimited, three decent games, and a thing I've never heard of for $3.99. Just shared in the Wurm thread. Thought it belonged here as well.
