Thousands of hours sunk into that game and enjoyed it.

civ5+full dlc is good too but takes time to get used to it cause of changes in gameplay. sad thing is that lately with civ series you have to wait for full dlc to be released in order to fully enjoy the game

Civ4 is the more complete imho, yet simple enough not being fussy and too complex to spend many hours to progress even a bit compared to 5 me thinks.

I'm wondering what the status is of this Arkham Knight game? Has it improved or is it still lousy? I mean, it can't be as bad as it was on launch.

I don't own the game myself but reading the reviews at steam:
611 Recent reviews were overwhelmingly positive.

It is in pretty good shape now, sir, although it's still not well-optimized. However, if you have a strong system, it will play smoothly.

Never played a Civilization game. But now that I'm older and unfortunately cannot play competetive games anymore (I need to be able to pause a game at any time) it might be the type of game I'd enjoy and appreciate. Long story short... I'll definately follow Civ 6 closely.

jmo but Civ games are worth playing. Civ Fanatics claim Civ IV is the best.

I wasn't too impressed with V compared to IV, yeah. I was hoping someone had insights on Civ VI though.

And which Civ game would be the best for a series newcomer/ is the most accessible?

Civ 4 or Civ 3, I'd say. They're cheap enough these days that the investment cost isn't high, not much lost if you decide you don't like it. I'd say Civ 4 looks a little nicer and isn't particularly complicated, Civ 3 is nice from a gameplay perspective and thought it did a good job at not being confusing.

Civ III is the best imo but it's 15 years old so you might want to consider that. But I also recommend Alpha Centauri as the best turn based strategy game ever made so you might not want to listen to me.

Seconded. Alpha Centauri was and still is brilliant and pretty much unmatched as a space/futuristic 4X.

Please don't go... the drones need you...

Yes, the drones have bad attitudes and they all carry guns.

System Shock 2 is a must play imo. Get the SHTUP and Rebirth mods though.

I am listening. And I've actually heard a lot of people state the same.
I still remember pouring a lot of time into Ascendancy even though I didn't fully understand all the ins and outs of it since I was only 8 years old back then and it didn't help much that it was in a foreign language (I grew up playing most PC games in English). But I still loved that game. That said, Alpha Centauri is probably a different beast entirely.

I gotta back up @64K here, as much as we may disagree elsewhere; Alpah Centauri was a beautiful thing in its time....

Wow dude you and me both, Ascendancy was probably my very first 4X.

In true and glorious 16 bit color mode too

Alpha Centauri is planet-based, so it's more like Civ in space, but without the actual space.
