What were they thinking?
They were thinking to finally stop making an oversimplified "click and win" with at least a LITTLE bit of thought and design process behind it?
increasing the acce$$ibility
Sorry sempai, VI is looking like it might actually be pretty decent at launch.
>>344496081
Art style reminds me of civilization revolution desu
Daily reminder that it looks better than V.
The artstyle actually looks pretty nice, though.
Its growing on me except for the leaders.
>>344496645
what's wrong with V?
>>344496081
The artstyle is better than the previous games. It's detailed yet clean and easy to follow instead of the clusterfuck of some civ games.
>>344496603
i thought i was the only one who remembered that abortion of a game
>>344497223
Why do you hold such trash opinions anon?
>Making an effort to put together the best parts of IV and V, while adding some new features that seem intersting
>But the graphics are pretty cartoony
>/v/ flips its shit, revealing themselves for the graphicsfags that they are
>>344496081
I wish they'd make it so you throw down new city-state type settlements like towns/villages that function like tile improvements within your borders, slowly expanding across the map and creating meaningful fucking borders instead of just blobbing into a giant fucking amoeba...or something.

That would be fine if it didn't look like a cartoon. Compare the dumb little green cones to the forests designed for civ v. This looks like the kind of art you would find on a mobile app, and they are supposed to have millions of dollars to design beautiful art. If they put half the realism as they did in to the intro art as they did in to the gameplay I would be satisfied, but this is so appalling I am not going to bother playing. Call me a LARPer, but I simply cannot take the atmosphere of the game seriously. In Civ V you could get a real sense of the grimness when you genocided and razed a whole civilization and soft dark music would play during the end of a war. That sense will be destroyed with these cheap disney graphics. Maybe people without imaginations like things to look "simple" and "easy to follow" rather than realistic and subtle because they cannot immerse themselves.
When did /v/ become so plebeian?
>>344496081
The same thing every other game developer on the planet is thinking.
$$$
>>344498132
Anon, that was a very bad screenshot to use to prove your point
>>344498620
No one plays it for the graphics
But at the very least you could have graphics that dont make me want to rip my eyes out.
>>344498692
>Call me a LARPer, but
Please stop false flag baiting.
>>344498132
that looks awful
>>344496081
Don't forget that they've outright removed the Civpedia because it "provokes rampant mysogny and racism."
>>344498834
I don't know what that means. I was making an earnest point, this art disgusts me.
>>344498912
>hes smiling
For fucks sake
>>344499160
:o)
they were thinking they could finally make a game that didn't look like a shitty open source project if they hired actual artists, thank fucking god.
>>344499247
Too bad they didnt convert that thought into reality and hired a bunch of amateurs instead
>>344498679
>complain about art styles in strategy games
>call others plebs
>>344498801
you're overexaggerating.
disregarding Civ IV, does anyone else thing Civ V looks like fucking shit?
>>344499415
Im actually not, im not purchasing this Civ on the grounds I dont like the art style. Ill considering getting it if a mod fixes it.

Those shitty farms.

>>344499746
No, but it's not quite Civ IV rules either.
>>344499632
>6 years old
It looks fucking fantastic in context, but sure, take it out of context to serve your arbitrary shitposting spree.
>>344499596
That's not it.
They're fags who associate bright colors with cartoons and think anything that's not varying shades of brown is for kiddies. If the colors were desaturated by like 25% there never would have been any comments on the grafixs.
>>344499890
no anon
mismatched rivers and roads, muddy textures, all that shit looked fucking awful from day 1. I played from day 1 and there had never been a time when I looked at a fucking pale blue river texture with no depth bleeding out into the normal water and thought to myself "gee that looks great!"
it has always been functional at best, fucking ugly at worst. The best part of the whole game (aesthetically) was the UI.
>>344499890
>V looks better than this
>I-in context!
fuck off.
>>344500110
It still looks like shit. The art style is poor.
>>344500257
>considering its 6 years old Civ V looks good
>considering Civ VI is new it looks like absolute shit
Im sorry you cant handle context
>>344500230
All look pretty good for a game thats 6 years old

"Those mobile game devs are rolling in money. Find out everything they do and then do those things"
>>344499529
Nice meme bro. There is a difference between edgy violence/gore and creating realistic atmosphere. Try again pleb.
>>344498692
>muh atmosphere
>in a game where Gandhi nukes the shit out of you, Caesar Augustus goes to space and America can score a cultural victory
Also it shows that you only played Civ V, since this series has already been cartoonish.
>>344500461
The argument was that Civ V LOOKS better than Civ VI. Keywork LOOKS, as in PRESENT. It doesn't. Fuck off.
I think something people dont appreciate is the fact that you dont have to do a shitty art style, you can do a good art style instead.
I agree that moving away from the more gritty sometimes realistic view on older Civs was the right move, but this art style is wrong.
>roads get built automatically
>districts restrict the maximum number of improvable tiles
>fewer technologies
>policies are replaced with simple +10% science type buffs
>>344500612
No anon, thats the argument you want it to be so you can save face.
The argument is that Civ V did a better job looking good than Civ VI is. End of discussion.
>>344497513
>best parts of IV and V
What part of IV does it include?
>>344500767
Please see >>344496645 and you can admit that you were literally wrong any time. :^)
>>344500813
Dumb looking leaders.
>>344500612
no that's not my point
my point was that at no point did I ever think Civ V looked "great"
>>344500461
textures and model geometry I can forgive
consistency in fucking colours is not limited by engine, decisions on how to use alpha-maps consistently is not limited by engine. these are decisions that were made either badly or lazily and resulted in ugly elements. There were many games that came out 6 years ago that exhibited more consistent artistic style with even less to work with in terms of graphical restrictions.

Wow anon, you admitted you're wrong and agree with me now? Thats good because this is you >>344499590

The policy system is clearly trying to merge the best of Civ VI and Civ V.

sure it is, pal :)

Here is your last (you)
I'm bored tell me what to do in Civ 5 and I'll do it or whatever like a civilization and a goal condition or something
>>344501245
Iv already pointed out why you're wrong, just because you keep ignoring it doesnt make you right. No more replies for you shitposter.
>one unit per tile
Into the trash
>>344501119
He said you're an idiot for claiming he said something he didnt, and used the example of posting something you didnt say and claiming you did. Moron.
>>344501460Actually, you can have multiple units in VI now.
>>344501361
Be Alexander
Wipe out EVERY city state
>>344496081
They wanted it to run on PC's.
Which as we all know on average are incredibly weak.
CIV 5 hasthe best leaders
>>344496081
It looks so cluttered visually. Big fat mess.
>>344496081
So this......is the power.................of PC gaming..............................woah

Already been proven they are, actually. They shitcanned the entire Civpedia because it promotes racism and sexism.
>>344501443
no you haven't
you've said "it looks pretty good for it's time!" which it literally does not
>>344496081
I want Civ 5 composers back and moving leader backgrounds
>>344502851
>Not wanting behemoth to pull the peasants' plow
>>344502758
It was acceptable. This is a step backward.
>>344502851
FYI same art lead, he thought this style felt better as the game focuses more on geography and the UI is supposed to have an age of exploration feel to it.
>>344502851
>I want Civ 5 composers back
I am a little worried about the music since they said it's an all-new score.
>>344502973
>It was acceptable.
And somehow Civ VI isn't? Just because you don't like the art style?
>>344502973
no it's literally a step forward by every single measurable artistic metric. Visual cohesion/consistency, readability, scale, fucking everything. What it might not be is to your taste, which is fine, you're allowed not to like it.
But it's fucking measurably better than V's look.
Japan and Egypt, thoughts?

it absolutely does, and at the very least to a far greater extent than V ever had, but keep stubbernly plugging your ears so you can pretend your personal preference is objective fact
>>344504613
Not him but sorry m8. Playtesters (conveniently never specified gender) said it made them feel "uncomfortable", so Firaxis cut it out, saying they wanted all genders and ethnicities to feel welcome to their series.
>>344504773
Citation needed.
>>344503936
All original music.
>>344499023
looks like ill be sticking with civ 4 for another 10 years.
>>344496645
>New game has better graphics than older game
WOW MAN WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT THAT????
>>344502712
Ayy lmao
So did they actually change anything? Is diplomacy actually good and not pants-on-head retarded like in Civ 5?
>>344503650
The art style's growing on my.
I just hope it doesn't suck at launch and I actually play it, but that'll be hard considering I've been playing EU4 a lot lately
>>344499023
Got a source on that buckaroo?
>>344505090
Well, there's casus belli and the leader agenda system. Hopefully that'll make the leaders less retarded and warmonger hits less meta.
When can I expect to get the full complete version with all DLC's for $10?
>>344503463
Same composers, but the music will get more complex by the Era so the music will fit by Era for a civ, which is pretty damn cool.
>>344504947
Well, there actually is a considerable number of anons who thinks V looks better than VI, even in this very thread, you fucking faggot.
>>344505718
So like Civ 4, then?
>>344502712
And frankly I know my colors, I know know my colors so well they call me the color machine
>>344505660
Considering the game isn't released yet, about three years from now.
hope you can lower saturation
>there are people in this thread RIGHT NOW who don't think Realism Invictus is the pinnacle of Civ games
>>344505718
Thank God. This was an atrocity when Civ5 didnt do music by era
>>344506685
Civ IV modding was so gud. I miss it.
HOJO

I don't get the love for this franchise outside of being everyones first strategy game. It's the game for people who wanted to memorize build olders but are too fucking slow to play an RTS. Combat has no depth, tech and building is linear as fuck and diplomacy is bare bones.
>>344507161
The joy came from sprawling and exploring new places to sprawl in to. So Civ5 ruined it somewhat.
>>344506685
it's about a million times better than civ V
