I have hundreds of hours in this on Steam, but I'm one of those people that would like to own the games they love so they can keep playing them in the future. I'd happily purchase the game again to have the ability to have a legal offline installer.
I am NOT big fan of Civ 5... but.. if it comes to GOG platform... I would be happy to buy and play it. I know it's available at Steam... but I do NOT want to deal with their platform and requirement of constant internet connection.
I remember being gifted Civ 5 in 2012, only having played Civ 3 seriously before and thinking: 'Civ 5 is pretty gimmicky because of the Hexagons.' and not really liking it / taking it at face value. Then Shelfing the game till 2018 or 2019 when at the start of summer I had just gone trough a stressful semester and felt like I want to try something new. I installed Civ 5, stared a full random game, got given Askia's Songhai and I played the game for a bit, felt I was getting hungry and I remember telling myself "those last 2 hours of Civ 5 are so fun!", then going to another room and realising it's night time outside and I have played for 12 hours straight. No bathroom breaks, no food, no sense of time. And it was Vanilla CIV V! VANILLA! When you play Gods and Kings afterwards Vanilla feels unplayable. What an amazing time travel tool Sid Meier and Firaxis have made!
The amount of depth and mods available for this game is incredible. Community is still on-going and producing great content. Could use a bit of attention to spruce up the macOS and Linux versions, but having at least a Windows version available in a preserved space will help having its support only tied to Steam
The first Civ game I ever played, and that was mainly due to the massive amount of YouTube playthroughs I watched of people playing it. I played many RTS games as a kid but never a 4X due to how complicated I thought it looked, Civ 5 to me was a perfect entry point as it didn’t have a steep learning curve to it to try it out. I loved playing Rise of Nations as a kid so the gaining of new powers and resources was fun for me to try out as with a turn based game a lot more strategy needs to be planned out. It’s not to overwhelming as something like Civ 6 can be with the weather and district management, so if you want to jump into the series this would be the one.
I will never create a Steam account because they are a bunch of dishonest crooks. I would rather play the paid version than the repack release. I paid full price for the commercial retail release of Sid Meier’s Civilization V on DVD but it was a steam fake. The DVD doesn't actually include the game installation just the useless steam subscriber client install with ultra small print on the back barely large enough for anyone to read sayng it was subject to the SSA (Steam subscriber agreement) the game had to be downloaded once subscribed. Can you tell me how that is honest?
I love this game. I bought it in 2012 I think and have put 8,799.2 hours into it as of last night and will be playing it tonight. But it can be frustrating trying to play the games at times because I live in an area prone to power failures and internet outages. There have been plenty of times where my internet was out so I wasn't able to play the game. This game is like crack to me, please give me my crack!
For me it's the best game of all in the franchise, I love the challenge of a single city and I've played it a lot with my friends in hot seat mode. I don't like the idea of not owning this game considering everything the gaming industry is doing lately, it would be great to have this game available on GOG.
