mestre12 fired a few nukes, then Ghandi comes to me and says "great minds think alike. There are many uses for that technology... " of course. Shoulda seen it coming
Yes. if you watch the opening cinematic, he survives for something like 2000 years then dies during the battle for britain. His daughter is then seen lovingly looking at a picture of him before she launches off into space. Verdict? Sean Bean is so cursed he can't even survive an opening cinematic trailer for a video game.
This is one of the few games that you just get so immersed you forget about everything. It never gets old. My only concern is the graphics could be a little better especially when zooming in.
I have played about 30 hours and am still learning new things. Amazing game. Honestly can't imagine how good this will be with a few dlc packs and patches. Literally could be a perfect game.
I've never played this game, but Sogno Di Volare (the song starting in this video) and Baba Yetu both have to be considered some of the best pieces of music in gaming.
Thanks man that means a lot, I put a lot of time and effort into my reviews, I'm happy people are finding them helpful/enjoyable. Seriously nicest people. Competitor to IGN ha I just started but I appreciate the faith!
Lots of 9+ given out right now and it's not even November. I think 2016 will be remembered as a unique year for games, from No Man's Sky to Battlefield 1.
when i first tried Civ 6 i got wiped withing 20 turns due to how aggressive the french lady was and the massive number of warriors she had. Ever since i have been far more on defensive because the AI will always try to kill me and i dont trust Gandhi with nukes. So far every game i have played ends up in conquest domination expect 1 where i had 4 times the Resources and science that the next 5 civs combined. I got curius and wondered why this, well turns out all of the world except my continent was a giant dessert, and i build the Petra before them. Never seen a world like that before.
My question is, as a first time player of Civ (I dont't actually own Civ yet) I was wondering if I should get Civ 5 or Civ 6? After watching videos on both but Civ6 looks a little more complex to me but I still cant make the choice.
despite being addictive and good as hell, the time flies firing the gameplay, mostly because of the waiting on almost every action and the big time waiting between each civs turns...maybe theres a way to accelerate those things but i am not aware of it yet
Looks amazing! I have never played a game like that, i remeber played Caesar a long time ago, but this looks a little bit more complex. haha. Its easy to learn? :)
Give Civ V a go! I've recently started playing it again during isolation and it holds up well despite being and older game. It's cheaper now and it'll give you a feel for the mechanics without overwhelming you :)
It's my doubt too... but I take the risk, watch some guides on youtube, watch some pro games and try to lower difficulty and the game is simply gorgeous! very recommended jump into it !
The song is the intro/ main menu song, Sogno di Volare (translates to 'The Dream of Flight'), written by the composer Christopher Tin. He wrote Baba Yetu for civ 4 as well, the only video game some to win a grammy up till now.
My all-time favorite strategy game. I've been hooked since I first got it as a kid on Super Nintendo over 20 years ago. Have played every single Civ since (except the offshoots like Andromeda and Beyond Earth). To me Civ 6 got it right. Civ 4 got some things right, however Civ 5 was the biggest change that got some things right but also removed a lot of the good from Civ 4. My biggest pet peeve about Civ 5 was that you couldn't bomb improvements and structures like you could in Civ 4. They fixed this in Civ 6.
I've always been interested in the Civilization games... I've just never taken the leap because it looks like a very steep learning curve. If I've never played any of them before...would it be logical for me to start with this one?
Yeah! I have a review of the game up which is very helpful for new players maybe check it out if you're still interested in the game. But yea you choose a time period, a civilization, and decide the type of leader you want to be. There are many ways to win it's a lot of fun
I feel Civ6 ramps up slowly compared to Civ5. Even after 50 turns of gameplay I dont see myself building a world wonder and have barely built a second city. But seeing this video, one can make gigantic civilizations within 250 turns like civ 5. I guess I just have to explore more.
ADucksOpinion I had never played a Civ before 6, so I played the tutorial for a good while, did my first game with the advisor on just so I knew what I was doing to a degree. I'm sure there's many intricacies I am yet to know about but for a new player it's not as hard as it looks to understand the game.
Civilization is difficult to go back to after playing Crusader Kings 2. It also makes me chuckle a little when the reviewer claims that Civ 6 is almost overwhelming in its systems. Far from it, they're just not as well streamlined. A gigantic number of systems with many many different options is a good description of Crusader Kings 2, but they're well organized so it's not overwhelming. Civ has become more like baby's first strategy game, by comparison. Part of the benefit of CK2 is that it is far richer in history, instead of 3-12 Empires on the map, there might be hundreds. Instead of one player having a few diplomatic relations, you might have dozens of vassals who in turn have dozens of vassals, and dozens of wars going on. There's also a wide variance in gameplay options by culture, religion, rank, and even gender. There are not a dozen or fewer characters in the game, but thousands. You may even have a few hundred in your capital alone, and your capital may not be your own Empire's imperial capital, you can play as the vassal of another; and if you wanted, you could even conspire and use your agents to overthrow your Emperor, and perhaps even install yourself in his place. there are nomadic civilizations like the Mongols, feudal civilizations like most of Europe, tribal civilizations like the North Germanic, Baltic, and Slavic peoples, Merchant republics like the Venetians, even classical Roman Imperialism. Don't let the name "Crusader" in the title fool you, the crusades are a very small part of the game, it's a strategy simulator that spans from Charlemagne in the 700s to Christopher Columbus in the late 15th century. Crusader Kings 2 is currently the best strategy game, and during the summer sale, you should be able to get it and all of its numerous expansions and DLCs for around 35 Euros.
i feel like this game needs more players to review it fairly. so many tactics and both new and old players it all depends om the person even within civ games. sseems like religion tactic players are really put aside.
This game is great! First Strategy game and all other games have taken a back seat. Easy on eyes and brain, hours fly so fast you can easy waste a whole day trying to decide a route in tech tree. Damn, my people are starving!
did he even mention the district system? i find it abit messy compared to civ v. but its a good game for sure. but a 9.4? laso, i think the city states were more relevant in civ 5. (after the expansions i guess)
I disagree, each city state gives a unique bonus, meaning that the best ones are sought after. Also, envoys and diplomacy is required to boost relations, so players can't just spam gold to become allied with everybody.
The Gentleman i have played some more and yeah, i agree.with u. it was like 2 years since i played civ 5 so didnt remember everything. but it feels like a good experience playing civ 6. its more diverse with the districs and not that messy after getting into this version abit more. tho i still disagree with a 9.4 i miss the civs from the expansions from civ 5 and the world congress.
In retrospect if they just made the ai be more coordinated in attacking a single city at once and converting one city with religion at a time this would be a lot better
Ign: every AAA title gets a 9 or 10 out of 10. Not sure why he praised the Agenda system, I and many others believe it sounds good on paper, but its not practical for facilitating fun. He said the AI can be unpredictable and can declare war on you unprovoked. This makes the AI bad...I mean in a bad way. If you play on prince(which is only standard difficulty) you have no hope of becoming friends with any of the AI , you can forget about alliances. Everyone will hate you no matter what you do to make another civ happy. The game looks pretty and sounds good, but I give it a 6.5 out of 10 because of the AI and the bugs and exploits in the game. I'm sure firaxis will fix this though in time. Until then I would hold off.
Wait for the Christmas sale. It'll probably go for 10-15% off the base price. If you wait a year, it'll naturally depreciate and have an expansion AND you can get it on sale.
The most polished review I have heard on youtube ever. It is either well spoken or well written. It is difficult to determine whether multiplayer gaming is effective in such a short review however.
It's not that the AI is too hard. If any it is too easy because no matter how many units they have they keep sending them in likes lambs to the slaughter. I think the reason it didn't get a 10 is because one of the victory conditions, religious victory is dull as all hell with no more then 3 units to choose from and no real incentive to use that instead of military.
For all those asking, the song is:
Christopher Tin - Sogno di Volare
Bro! thanks so much!
and, end the review with ghandi nuking, because, it had too.
mestre12 fired a few nukes, then Ghandi comes to me and says "great minds think alike. There are many uses for that technology... " of course. Shoulda seen it coming
It's Gandhi Jeez
Haha not so political correct

@You Tube people deprived of quality education often don't like to be corrected
3:54 "And even though the AI has some improving to do..."
*Shows picture of Gandhi*
Well played, IGN. Well played.
nah that's just a feature now
it doesn't need to be improved
Any PC builder knows the CPU and RAM kills this game dead since Civ 3 came out as we were from the civilization 2 MGE days.
Does Sean Bean die in this game?
no glenn does
No worry there a dumpster nearby!
Yes. if you watch the opening cinematic, he survives for something like 2000 years then dies during the battle for britain. His daughter is then seen lovingly looking at a picture of him before she launches off into space.
Verdict? Sean Bean is so cursed he can't even survive an opening cinematic trailer for a video game.
No, but the space victory is the prequel to "The Martian". You go to mars in this game and Sean Bean narrates...
SPOILER ALERT MUCH?!
This is one of the few games that you just get so immersed you forget about everything. It never gets old. My only concern is the graphics could be a little better especially when zooming in.
the music in the background was so epic i forgot to listen about the review lol
Title: sogno di volare (the dream of flight)
It truly is epic 😃👌🏾
I have played about 30 hours and am still learning new things. Amazing game. Honestly can't imagine how good this will be with a few dlc packs and patches. Literally could be a perfect game.
What do you think about civ 6 now?
@@marquisduhsade did it change a lot since this review?

"Victoria likes nations from the same continent as England"
REALISM
You know the game is good when the soundtrack alone sold you))
nikitokyo to not really, mafia 3 had a fantastic soundtrack but was average game in the end
Dominick Kulzy True... Yeah, i agree with it myself, it's just that the Civ6 soundtrack is so epic i got carried away))
oh, you should listen to IV's Baba Yetu ;)
The portuguese OST in CivV is epic. I am portuguese and i dont enjoy
"Fado", but i enjoy that amazing guitar.
I literally played this game all night for like 6-7 hours straight without realizing it more than once
Played from 11 to 4 am just last week lol thought it was 2 am
This looks great for my year in lock down!
I know right. Lol. Indeed
Trust me, it is. I’ve only played it for 3 and a half days and it is a great time killer without making you bored.
I've never played this game, but Sogno Di Volare (the song starting in this video) and Baba Yetu both have to be considered some of the best pieces of music in gaming.
I really want to get into these games but I feel way to overwhelmed thinking about it
Try it, dude! It is worth it. I thought the same when I started but you get used to it very quickly.
Nelo M you wont regret it. The beginning of each game is the most exciting part. Every game is like that.
Check out my Honest *Review* I think it would help you, mine is a simplified version XD I hope it helps! So far feedback has been great

Luffyyy yes, it is a great game!
Did he say that Civ is a 25-year old franchise? Crap I'm old. I can still remember when the first one was released. :p
when i first tried Civ 6 i got wiped withing 20 turns due to how aggressive the french lady was and the massive number of warriors she had.
Ever since i have been far more on defensive because the AI will always try to kill me and i dont trust Gandhi with nukes.
So far every game i have played ends up in conquest domination expect 1 where i had 4 times the Resources and science that the next 5 civs combined.
I got curius and wondered why this, well turns out all of the world except my continent was a giant dessert, and i build the Petra before them.
Never seen a world like that before.
the beauty of random maps
Time passes by so fast while playing this game. Loving it so far!
9.4
ARAN DOSKI thanks
- 0.6 because it devour time itself.
The sound of that Nuke dropping at the end was the sound of war.
It's because Ghandi became too peaceful, that he clocked over into super aggressive and wants to nuke everyone
OMG first time I have seen a ign video with no 30 fucken, non-skippable second ad.
Anirban Biswas Lucky
I've only played Civ Rev. I hope that they did away with the time limit to achieve victory. I'd like to have long drawn out wars and not feel rushed.

I am, but i have no idea how to play this game
@@theoutsider0724 same here
i am, i've played civ but need a slight refresher lol
@Sergio your sister too
The game is narrated by Sean Bean. How can I not buy it?
Damn I really like that music :)
Why did I watch a 2 min ad to watch a 4 min review ffs
adblock FTW
yeh cannot install extensions on my work pc :)
My question is, as a first time player of Civ (I dont't actually own Civ yet) I was wondering if I should get Civ 5 or Civ 6? After watching videos on both but Civ6 looks a little more complex to me but I still cant make the choice.
Same. Im curious as this is on my top 3 games I've been considering.
Firaxis is one of the best strategy developer
Familiar yet different. Much better than beyond earth.
Most definitely
Hard to be worst
despite being addictive and good as hell, the time flies firing the gameplay, mostly because of the waiting on almost every action and the big time waiting between each civs turns...maybe theres a way to accelerate those things but i am not aware of it yet
Put quick battle and quick movement on.
I don't know what you're playing it on but a beefier cpu is bound to help.
Looks amazing! I have never played a game like that, i remeber played Caesar a long time ago, but this looks a little bit more complex. haha. Its easy to learn? :)
Best game purchase I've made in some time. Getting ready to relaunch the game now.
Alpha Morty lol weren't far off.
I want to jump into this series but I’m worried I simply won’t understand what I’m doing
Give Civ V a go! I've recently started playing it again during isolation and it holds up well despite being and older game. It's cheaper now and it'll give you a feel for the mechanics without overwhelming you :)
It's my doubt too... but I take the risk, watch some guides on youtube, watch some pro games and try to lower difficulty and the game is simply gorgeous! very recommended jump into it !
These games are long plays, come out every half a decade or so and IGN can only do a 4min review lol.
Review on my Channel as well it's pretty good!
they keep it short and to the point, i can appreciate that.
There is probably an long article on the IGN homepage.
THEY DROPPED THE NEWS FEED ON THE SIDE. So now you have to absurdly mouse over each icon in the feed to see what it means.
"And even though the AI has some improving to do". *Ghandi*
Playing this masterpiece in 2024
Loved you in the Eons episodes on PBS!
Anyone know what song is being played in the background? It sounds absolutely amazing!
Sogno di Volare
The song is the intro/ main menu song, Sogno di Volare (translates to 'The Dream of Flight'), written by the composer Christopher Tin. He wrote Baba Yetu for civ 4 as well, the only video game some to win a grammy up till now.
Now I really want to listen to the new theme by Christopher Tin! I'll just select it from the recommended videos next to this video!
My all-time favorite strategy game. I've been hooked since I first got it as a kid on Super Nintendo over 20 years ago.

which is the best Civ? (Wow, didnt realize your comment was 6 years ago)
When you said Sean Bean the money little disappeared from my pocket
I've always been interested in the Civilization games... I've just never taken the leap because it looks like a very steep learning curve. If I've never played any of them before...would it be logical for me to start with this one?
Captain Cartman It's pretty easy to learn just launch a game on a low difficultly.
So in the game you pick a time period you want to begin in and then decide in what direction your covilization goes in?
Yeah! I have a review of the game up which is very helpful for new players maybe check it out if you're still interested in the game. But yea you choose a time period, a civilization, and decide the type of leader you want to be. There are many ways to win it's a lot of fun
Anyone know the soundtrack at the beginning please? Been looking for ages
I feel Civ6 ramps up slowly compared to Civ5. Even after 50 turns of gameplay I dont see myself building a world wonder and have barely built a second city. But seeing this video, one can make gigantic civilizations within 250 turns like civ 5. I guess I just have to explore more.
Is...this the game in which Sean Bean survives?
Ugh I love CIv so much but once I have a giant civ it feels like I just click random options and just build my army to a ridiculous amount
4:09 wait Kim Jon un is in this game???
Is it like a board game that you win or lose after a certain amount of turns?
God, right before watching this I was playing a Civ match that I might've played for way longer than I intended...

Part of the benefit of CK2 is that it is far richer in history, instead of 3-12 Empires on the map, there might be hundreds. Instead of one player having a few diplomatic relations, you might have dozens of vassals who in turn have dozens of vassals, and dozens of wars going on. There's also a wide variance in gameplay options by culture, religion, rank, and even gender. There are not a dozen or fewer characters in the game, but thousands. You may even have a few hundred in your capital alone, and your capital may not be your own Empire's imperial capital, you can play as the vassal of another; and if you wanted, you could even conspire and use your agents to overthrow your Emperor, and perhaps even install yourself in his place. there are nomadic civilizations like the Mongols, feudal civilizations like most of Europe, tribal civilizations like the North Germanic, Baltic, and Slavic peoples, Merchant republics like the Venetians, even classical Roman Imperialism.

Cool dude
Tl;dr
Nobody asked. And Crusader Kings isn't even a 4X game. Get out of here with your gibberish.
Free on epic games store until 28. may. Grab it while you can
i feel like this game needs more players to review it fairly. so many tactics and both new and old players it all depends om the person even within civ games. sseems like religion tactic players are really put aside.
They gave it a 9.4
This game is great! First Strategy game and all other games have taken a back seat. Easy on eyes and brain, hours fly so fast you can easy waste a whole day trying to decide a route in tech tree. Damn, my people are starving!
did he even mention the district system? i find it abit messy compared to civ v. but its a good game for sure. but a 9.4? laso, i think the city states were more relevant in civ 5. (after the expansions i guess)
I disagree, each city state gives a unique bonus, meaning that the best ones are sought after. Also, envoys and diplomacy is required to boost relations, so players can't just spam gold to become allied with everybody.

These guys had me at Sean Bean. Nuf said.
How can i get the leaders to have dialogue and move on my pc? Is it because I play on a laptop so its not as advanced?
opening music is so beautiful!
In retrospect if they just made the ai be more coordinated in attacking a single city at once and converting one city with religion at a time this would be a lot better
When does this game comes to 'google play' ?
I just can't get into games like this but I wish I could
you lack the brains.
Civ IV with a gret MOD still looks and plays better than what I'm seeing here.
sean bean yeah
I've installed the Third Reich mod and won as religion victory
😂
This IS what a complete game looks like.
It is dirt cheap on Steam right now. Totally recommend!
Thinking bout getting it on switch but never played this type of game before....
Thanx Epic store for the freebie! came for the review because I've never played this type of game before , feels kinda overwhelming.
How did you find the game? Thinking of buying but new to the genre as well
Ign: every AAA title gets a 9 or 10 out of 10.
Not sure why he praised the Agenda system, I and many others believe it sounds good on paper, but its not practical for facilitating fun.
He said the AI can be unpredictable and can declare war on you unprovoked. This makes the AI bad...I mean in a bad way. If you play on prince(which is only standard difficulty) you have no hope of becoming friends with any of the AI , you can forget about alliances. Everyone will hate you no matter what you do to make another civ happy.

choices, choices, choices... and more choices!
Why did they decided to hide the win conditions? Seems like a weird omission.
I can't enable the animations of leaders. I have a laptop so is it because I need better computer or can I do it simply in the options?
Villisika Should be in the options, but a dedicated gaming PC is never a bad idea.
Music is so earrape it matches the first time you open the game
Narrated by Sean Bean, sold!
Not on Xbox one. Cannot find it in windows store.
Is only to pc ?
The question is... does Sean bean say "bastard" in this? 😂😂😂
I guess it's the season of good games this time around with all the 9s, until Infinte Warfare review comes out...

I want it so bad. But I don't want to be playing my first 10 turns then all of the sudden 8 hours flew by. But man I love this game.
10 turns takes about 20 minutes, max. 8 hours is longer than your average game.
you are so fun.
Rangaman depends on a lot of variables though. What speed they're playing at, what difficulty, etc
The most polished review I have heard on youtube ever. It is either well spoken or well written. It is difficult to determine whether multiplayer gaming is effective in such a short review however.
I'm here because civ vi is now for ps4. I can play it now.
@Jorge Cerda I loved Civilization Revolution for the PS3. I didn't see anything negative about it. It remains the only civ game I ever played.
1 more month man I can't wait
If PS4/ Xbox one is like Switch, it's basically the same game as PC. Plus, the DLC will be available at launch unlike it was for Switch last year.
How are you playing it now when it isn't out for over another week? lol
Is this music in the game? I want the game just to hear the music
they don't find anything wrong but it deserve 9.4 if the AI was to hard they put that has a problem i bet this guy cant play on emperor HA !
TheLinkinTALLICA Ai was broke in tlou but that got a 10.
see i find this game well made they just dont admit it :s
It's not that the AI is too hard. If any it is too easy because no matter how many units they have they keep sending them in likes lambs to the slaughter. I think the reason it didn't get a 10 is because one of the victory conditions, religious victory is dull as all hell with no more then 3 units to choose from and no real incentive to use that instead of military.
you are right this AI needs improvement.
Damn I wish the game looked that good on my computer
If anyone knows the name of the first song that plays lemme know🔥🔥
What's the background music?
You end the reviews with a nuke literally
