Civilization V is so Addicting

I know its been said before but man...I had no idea. Just got the game and Ive put in 18 hours already and thats huge for me to do by myself so quickly. Only other game I did that with is SC2 and maybe DoW2 and CoH and...TF2. lol But this SC2, and TF2 are by far the top. Brilliant. RPGs get that many ours too but games that are replayable getting that many is awesome...really speaks of how long it'll last.

I was done with it in a week. It's a great game, don't get me wrong, but it's just not quite what I was hoping for. It doesn't have the staying power.theafiguy

I wanted to enjoy this game...but the long ass turn load times near end game and the crashes i experienced mid game just killed it for me.I've been thinking about playing mp since i figure the reasons i didnt enjoy sp will be gone but i also heard the animations are turned off...which is a no go for me.Tc you play mp?

I actually really enjoy it too, I miss some things from Civ4 but overall I like it. .

But then again I do actually play on strange settings :) I customize a lot of it and make it as random/unfair as possible to people. It makes for interesting gameplay to say the least lol, and often I dont really last more than 20 hours in the game due to various factors I got unlucky. However I won my first culural victory yesterday :) I was very happy.

It's definitely a good game. Still have yet to get sick of it myself but I do agree that there are things from Civ IV that i really miss, and hope that they re-integrate into some future expansions(we all know thats coming lets face it).

Yup, sooo addicting , better in nearly every way from Civ4. Civ2, Civ3 and Civ5 are the best in the series imo, with Civ4 being my least fav.

Civ5 and Elemental really have been two very addicting strategy games this year that ive enjoyed :D

Anyways, bext Civ game since Civ3!

It's awesome and I would argue the deepest Civ yet. It may SEEM simplified due to the fantastic streamlining, but this is the first entry in the series in which every single feature is well-developed and really means something (apart from diplomacy which could still use some work).

Addicting is not a word.

I liked it but after doing scientific, diplomatic, and military victories, I didn't feel like playing anymore. It didn't have anything to pull me back.

It lacks depth and makes me miss some features of Civ. IV. Yet I hope it'll be better when expansions come along. Still a good game with nice graphics..

Civ 5 is definetly addicting...but only if you keep playing it. Once i put the game down i couldnt get myself to play it again.

Somehow I forgot about it, after playing it in a marathon kind of way for days.Was always getting back to the older ones.

Religion is the only feature that's missing. It didn't really add anything depth-wise, but it was a pretty interesting feature and I'd love to see it come back in an expansion pack. However, I hope it's implemented differently than it was in Civ IV.
