EoFF's Top Games of the Generation: Revelations

[Madame Adequate]

Your own fault, Civ 4 still had a major SoD problem and square-based movement. I don't care what other flaws it had, Civ 5 is automatically better for those reasons.

e; and yes Shauna I can't really talk about that one because I forgot to smurfing vote for it so

[Pike]

Three votes for Civ IV

Lemme guess

Pike, Mister Adequate, Laddy

I'm pretty sure it was Mirage actually if I succeeding in talking him into it in #eoff.

tbf I think I failed to bring it up in my own nominations too...

How does it feel to be so wrong?

I'd have liked to see Mirror's Edge hit the top. It was a pretty brilliant game.

If only more of you nerds had nominated!

I guess it couldn't make the jump

You mean those things that only affect a single aspect of the game that the series has never been all that good at anyway being fixed doesn't make up for everything else getting worse? Do tell!

[Aulayna]

I'm fairly sure I nominated Deus Ex too. I got you.

[Pike]

Actually I completely forgot to nominate Mirror's Edge and I feel bad about it.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I... can't remember if I voted for Mirror's Edge. I feel like I didn't, and I am horribly disappointed in myself for it if that is the case. It had been so long since I played that game (and I don't actually own a copy) that I kind of didn't think about it as I was looking through my games to see what I'd vote for.

[Pike]

RECOUNT: All the people who forgot to nominate Mirror's Edge nominate it now; watch as it wins the entire thing.

[Shauna]

If all of us had remembered to nominate Mirror's Edge, then it would have been #1 with no competition. I hope we are all pleased with ourselves.

[Ayen]

It was me. I couldn't get past the tutorial on the game so I made sure you all forgot to nominate it to attain the pettiest revenge in forum history.

Making warfare tolerable is pretty important in a game in which warfare is exceedingly prevalent. And I wouldn't say "everything else" got worse, basically only religion.

I believe MILF fielded this one earlier. And I'm really not sure that one unit per tile makes combat more tolerable when enough units makes movement more of a pain, and the combat rarely boils down to more than "build best units I can and throw them at the enemy." Sure, there's a bit more to it than that in pretty much every Civ, but the combat is boring. Always has been, probably always will be unless they're going to turn the series into a turn based strategy with some 4X elements tacked on.
