Everyone who's complaining the game is too easy should be required by law to stream themselves playing Inferno difficulty so we can all have a good laugh.
This is like asking why people hate Justin Bieber. It's stale, dull, soulless mainstream garbage designed for the masses to eat up. People who get angry over the fact that the majority of people are stupid and therefore enjoy stupid things have a severe lack of perspective.
One of the things that I love most about gaming is that it doesn't involve such irrational nonsense as religion, and I'll be very happy if it stays that way.
I really hope Firaxis do something to optimize the texture caching soon. This game is amazing but watching the screen quickly "rebuild" itself while I scroll around the map is seriously immersion breaking. The game is only using around 1 gig of the 4 I have available so I can't see why this is necessary. It's not like the graphics are that much more advanced than Civ IV.
Killed many hundreds of hours on my Dreamcast with awesome games like Tony Hawk's 2... Shenmue... Virtua Tennis 2K2, and one of the best RPG experiences I've ever had: Grandia 2. Easily the best console I've ever owned... There was just something about it.
