Sid Meier's Civilization V
Game » consists of 6 releases. Released Sep 21, 2010
Civilization V brings brand new gameplay elements to this beloved franchise, while maintaining the "just one more turn" mentality.
Anyone catch the joke in the achievements?
" god the achivements are the worst; I can has nukes? I'm on a boat. It's super effective they probably just got their intern to do this stuff. "I think it might just be a comment on how achievements are just a stupid pop culture phenomenon like the rest of the things it references.
Seriously?! is my favorite achievement so far, mostly because that's something that happens to me all the goddamn time.
" Well, that's a little tasteless. Still, I've never played a Civilization game before. I like the look of Civilization V though. Might consider getting it actually. "You should! As a seasoned veteran of the series: I can honestly say that this is probably the best of the series for striking a balance between complex gameplay and comfortable playability.
" god the achivements are the worst; I can has nukes? I'm on a boat. It's super effective they probably just got their intern to do this stuff. "And really fucking unimaginative. Beat the game with every civ, and every difficulty, and research every policy, cut down 1000 tree's? Looks like more thought was put into naming the achievements than the actual achievements themselves.
Not sure why Civ needed achievements in the first place. It's not like there's ever been any trouble getting people to spend massive amounts of time playing the game.
Since when did people take achievements so seriously. I wish more games did the crap Civ V is doing with their achievements. When I got the My Little Pony achievement I couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes, it was such a harsh contrast to the semi-serious nature of the game that I greatly welcomed it and all the other ones I've been getting.
Overall the achievement names for this game look pretty good but while I can appreciate this one as a slightly obscure historical reference it's in very poor taste. This is also the third game to feature an achievement called 'I'm On A Boat' (but don't get me wrong, I like me some Lonely Island) and 'I Can Has Nukes' feels like a very outdated reference.
