CIV V
So now that CIV V(five, 5) has arrived, who's going to buy it? I'd like to but I still have nightmares of buying CIV IV(four, 4)on release day and dealing with its problems. You might recall, standard NVIDIA cards at that time(2005) were the 6xxx I think. CIV IV had a memory leak which made that game unplayable from 1500 AD on. The ATI mainline cards had a worse problem that gave the game a white screen when the game crashed, which was often.
Still, CIV V is receiving rave reviews. I'll probably wait for at least 4 months when the game is patched up to a 'better' state. Then again, I could
i)Wait one year for the first add on
ii)Wait two years for a bundle pack to be released and also a second expansion with new and improved units/features
iii)Wait three years for a super bundle pack to be released.
