I used to play quite a bit. It got a bit mundane, but this new one definitely has my interest.
Civ5 comes out in a little over 7 days. Anybody here play?

Been playing Civ since Civ 2. I still remembering making my parents upgrade our PC to 16MB of RAM just so I could see the heralds.
I've been giving myself a break from Civ 4 this month. Got Civ 5 on pre-order... can't wait. Though I'm a little afraid they've messed the game up with some key feature changes... we'll see.
I play on and off. Really on and off, like 2 hours every 3 weeks. I hate the diplomacy part. I just kill off every other civ in the world.
but yeah, this civ 5 looks tight!
CivIV rules my gaming life as has every Civ since II.
CivV on preorder, counting the days until the 21st...
It's just getting too indepth now, way to slow. I was a huge fan since Civ 1 back in the day, infact I still have civ 1. Civ Revolution, while NOT close to being indepth was still fun and I could still play a game or 2 online and still have a life. Civ 5... jeebus, am I going to have to physically put food in my subjects mouth now?
I'll probably jump back onboard once they figure out the online part for the PC versions.
Supposedly with Civ 5 you aren't going to be micromanaging as much, the AI has been improved according to PC gamer.
From what Ive seen, the game no longer has in-depth menus, all the options are made directly from the playing screen. Its going to be a pretty damn good game. If anybody wants to get in on some multiplayer action get the game and lets get to it. Oh yeah and no more spear man killing tanks or helos.
Steam allows pre-loading as of now. Pre-loaded last night, ready to rock come the 21st.
What system are you running it on?
My PC?
Or did you mean the specs of my PC?
When someone says "system", I think 360, PS3, Wii or PC. Call me ignorant.
what are your system specs for the computer? I am debating on upgrading to a quad core and better graphic card.
Intel(R) Core i7 CPU 965 Quad Core @ 3.20GHz (liquid cooled)
12GB DDR3 RAM
(4x) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295
(2x) 256GB SSD Hard drives Raid0
Vista 64bit
Does that thing come turbo-charged?
(just kidding... had to bring up that classic 'my cousin vinny' line)
No, but it has positraction.
Skylark with two youts?
Nice machine Darkreign. I am having to upgrade. My civ4 built machine is no match for the Civ5 requirements
A what?
A "yout"?

The reviews are coming in
Everybody has it over 9
He asked.
I miss dictionary thick manuals for games...
Wait...what? I didn't even realize the first time I browsed your rig that it's Quad SLI. Go to .
...What res do you typically run games on?
Crysis
1920 x 1200, 8x AA, 8x AF
60+ fps
All games I run at my monitor's native 1920 x 1200 resolution (16:10, I believe?).
When I really crank the AA and AF up (to 16x), there is still a noticeable drop in framerate. Oddly, older games push my rig harder than newer games.
Examples: GTA4 and Bully kill my rig, most likely because neither game is optimized to run on a PC, so I can only get those to 1920 x 1200 with everything else turned off, then Im good.
But new, PC-specific games kick ass.
