Civilization: Beyond Earth at Mac App Store analyse

best…game…ever

It looks like the same alpha centuri game Sid Meir has been grinding out for years since the DOS gaming days. I painfully finished a few games, hoping it would grow on me. I normally love Sid Meir games but for some reason this one just doesnt do it for me…. There are some minor glitches in the gameplay, but nothing horrible. Boring, boring, boring…….

I put off buying this because of all of the low ratings. I had low expectations. I love it. I understand why people might not like it. It is complex, it’s not as intuitive as the other Civilization titles. A big part of it is that in classic CIv, you are dealing with technology and resources that already exist, so a big part of understanding the game’s strategy comes naturally. In this game, you have to learn. But other than that, it’s excellent. I love its complexity. There are so many more dimensions to gameplay. Civ V is my favorite game but this game is absolutely more complex. There are new forms of narrative, new goals, new assets.. also beautifully put together as always. I am happy to have spent the $40. Even if you don’t like it, you have to admit that it is exceptionally well put together.

Has anyone else been experiencing this while playing? My computer is all up to date and I don’t know what else to do,I have uninstalled and install the game several times, but it steals crashes on me. It’s very frustrating

This is the worst game humanly possible. I now look back at the fact that I made this purchase and I am appalled. Their are so many things wrong with this game that I do not have enough space to list them all. First I hate how they made up all the quotes, yeah I get it that this is in the future but they could at least include some actual quotes. I also hate the whole idea of Miasma because it is just plain dumb and a easy way to kill units. As for the alien lifeforms, you cannot make up biology they need plants and with plants comes sunlight, it is entirely dark and it is depressing. also when their is an undiscovered land it is a black hexagon representing it, I prefered it when their were clouds and the world looked alive, you need rain for plants in most cases. The concept is also bad because we cannot relate to the civilizations because they are made up. They at least could have thrown in countries like the U.S, Britain, China, Russia, Japan, etc instead of the organizations that they made up. Also if they had a global intiative to save the human race I’m pretty sure that they wouldn’t be competing and going to war. In fact I deleted this game after an hour or 2 of playing it because it is just a waste of my precious disk space and I asked for my money back. Please do your self a favor and do not buy this game.

J’avais laissé la précédente civilization aux portes des étoiles et là on a la tête dans les étoiles. Alors, je suis un grand amoureux des civilizations et celui-ci ne déroge pas à la règle quoique, cest tout de même un peu déroutant au premier abord car, on garde ses réflexes des précédents jeux à savoir une diplomatie martielle et si l’adversaire n’attend pas raison on fait parler les canons. Le problème ici c’est que toutes les colonies humaines sont au même pied d’égalité niveau technologie du coup compliqué de désormais gagner des guerres. Il est désormais préférable d’être écologiste ou simple pacifiste que d’être un militaire assumer ou un expansionniste. L’arbre des techniques soyons honnête est indigeste. On ne sait pas trop par quel bout prendre cet arbre du coup on finit par être au milieu et on ne privilégie rien ce qui est mauvais si on vise une victoire particulière. Danc ce nouvel opus finit l’argent qui dirigeait le monde, place à l’énergie qui fait avancer ce nouveau monde. Le problème c’est que cette énergie est mal gérée par le jeu. On a beau faire 100 centrales d’énergies nos gains n’augmentent que de 2 à 3 d’énergie par tour. Alors oui on en vient à chercher des moyens d’augmenter nos gains d’énergie car tout coût très cher dans ce jeu (l’entretient des unités, les bâtiments, la diplomatie etc…) et quand on voit ce que gagne IA par rapport à nous on a des doutes sur le bon fonctionnement du jeu. Un autre dysfonctionnement est là de taille. Les macs ont des écrans retina mais pourquoi la résolution du jeu d’arrête à 1440*900 ? Je ne comprends pas. Alors des patchs correcteurs arrivent mais en attendant, on reste sur notre faim. Le jeu part d’une excellente idée, il y a des nouveautés très agréable, il y a des repères qu’on retrouve mais il y a des bugs et des fonctionnements dans le jeu qui gachent le plaisir. Vivement des mises à jour de correction.

structure similar to Civ 5 but very different style of play, more immersive and in-game decisions affect the outcome… very fun and compelling story behind the game as well. Not nearly as complex as Civ 5 so a bit easier to manage things (there’s no money for example and unhappiness is more about health - which is easier to manage). The aliens are very cool.
