I think I’m looking more forward to it than Civ7 (for now at least).

Agree!

I wish this game were getting more coverage than it has; it looks more interesting to me than Civ 7.  Unfortunately, it seems like most of the videos/articles I've seen so far are long on hype/filler and short on any actual meat. 

Ah, well.  At least we'll know more in a week.   

[Undercovergeek]

Yup waiting and occasionally digging for info

Would usually expect a multitude of pre release lets plays on YT by now

Sceptical

Fingers crossed...hope springs eternal?

Yeah I hope so - what I’ve seen looks good but it isn’t much

[Martok]

So I've read in a couple different places now that apparently Microsoft has pretty much no experience in marketing strategy games, hence why we aren't exactly being bombarded with a media blitz regarding Ara.  I'm not sure who true that really is, but guess it's as good an explanation as any. 


Either way, we'll hopefully have a better idea of where the game stands at the end of next week once people have had a few days to play it (and the too-early reviews come out ).

At 50/60 pounds here I would imagine it’s those that receive free copies that’ll hit the reviews first I would imagine

I’m not sure about the marketing excuse - if you can market the next shiny fps to market saturation surely it’s the same script for a strategy one

I’m hoping to have my socks blown off and it’s the sleeper of the decade

And the playthroughs have started, when at 9 am EDT, to be released.

[Barthheart]

Almost 7 hours of gameplay! 

[Barthheart]

Sigh, bought it.   

[bob48]

Is it not just another Civ clone?
