Is Civ5 going to have ruins again? (parody)

[Liberal]

Reference

What bothers me most about the entire Civ series to date is the way it graphically depicts its ruins. I mean, c'mon. This is the 22nd century. (Objectively, we must assign a year zero.)

I want to see panoramic scenes of Ozymandias, with the ability to zoom in on his placard. I want a 360 degree hologram of the Parthenon with enough detail to see dust on the jagged edges of columns. I want real freaking ruins, and it's not like it's hard to do.

I'm so sick of those stupid goody huts that look like acorns. But those lazy bastards at Firaxis do only what little they have to do to get by. I beat my chest with my fists as I cry out for justice! Why will no one heed my objectively superior opinion?

--------------------------------------------

Version for idiots (all members except myself):

Look, Jane, look! Look at ruins.

Look, Dick, look! See Jane look at ruins.

Jane is sad. Dick is mad. Ruins are bad.

[Floating Pants]

Haha. Your parodies are good. The guy that posted the original thread is an idiot.

And I want the ruins to have dragons in them.

[Liberal]

And unicorns.

[Akar]

Rainbow unicorns.

I'm tired of you just repeating the same threads over and over again and failing to provide any facts to back up your opinions. Don't you even know what an argument from personal preference is? Geez, why don't you use your brain?

Why don't you just stop posting, since I know you can't see facts, such as the clear and objective fact that acorn huts are the most beautiful version of ruins in the entire Civ series. Your opinions can't disprove that, but I know you'll just keep saying the same thing.

Go, on Liberal, fail moar.

I laugh at your tiny intellect. Ha! And if I hear further from you, I will taunt you a second time.

[McKampela]

I think there should be goodey hut ruins so everyone would be happy.

[MortVader]

Priceless!

[FeddyPoap]

OP is a total troll!!

[Liberal]

OP is a total troll!!

I totally resemble that remark. What IS it with you knot-heads? Think of this objectively. How would you like it if you flew to Istanbul and found out that the Parthenon is just an acorn? Well? Well?

[Akar]

My prespective on the world would change

[Arioch IV]

The irony loses its edge when the real posts are far more ridiculous than the parodies.

I would be humbled and ashamed were it not for the fact that I did not write the OP. God did. Stone Him!

[Akar]

I would but religion got removed

[FeddyPoap]

Game is ruin....

[Canucker]

Rainbow unicorns.

Hovering golden unicorns?

[Akar]

Hovering golden unicorns?

That poop flowers.

[IONDragonX]

Hovering golden unicorns?

That poop flowers.

No, no. They EAT flowers. And poop chocolate chip cookies.

[FeddyPoap]

No, no. They EAT flowers. And poop chocolate chip cookies.

Sometimes stacks of doom.

[EnigmaCode]

Don't be ridiculous. It would be an oak tree by now.

[EnigmaCode]

Sorry, but I just had to bump up this thread to be with the "Civ V is going to be ruined" thread.

Yeah! RTS games have ruins that look super realistic, with high polygon counts and detailed features. Civilization 4 is a turn based strategy and therefore should be like RTS games graphically. If a RTS game can do it, civilization can too. Civilization 4 was RUINED by this crap.

I think the problem here is quite clear: Religion. It is impeding the technological advancement of game design.

[Arioch IV]

See ruins lie.

Lie ruins. Lie, lie, lie.

Look, look, look. See, see, see.

See ruins lie.

Lie, lie, lie.

[wurrble182]

well, one thing i'm sure we can all agree on is that finding goody huts is awesome. therefore, i propose that we have goody-huts in EVERY SQUARE

[JayFirelance]

I used to do that, with the map editor, the second I start a singleplayer game.

[tfordp]

I want a big death robot goodie hut, that you can only get in to with lasers. And then it gives you a map.

[SlickSlicer]

On settler difficulty the player should occasionally obtain giant death robots from the goodie huts.

For all we know, everyone at Firaxis might be Muslim. Or worse yet, Catholic. One shudders to think what those poor developers had to go through to get their jobs.

They could be atheists without souls for all we know — ghoulish and loathsome creatures who express schadenfreude through their "art".

Has anyone else noticed that Firaxis spelled backwards is Beelzebub?

Now I don't wonder those deeds I did after playing Civ IV.

Firaxis = sixarif

NOOOOOOOO! BLASPHEMY! ESPECIALLY IF IT ACTUALLY USES SIX AXIS!

I love my PS3, but uttering such a thing is pure heresy! AAAAAAAAH!

Sadly, I think the point of this thread will be lost on the original thread poster in which this thread parodies/ trolls

[FeddyPoap]

I think the original thread poster that this parodies has left us forever. What ever shall we do!

Also:

Back on the in-game screen, basic combat units should be moved around the map every turn to try and scout for new locations to found cities, make contact with other civilizations, or discover bonuses hidden in ruins. By walking into ruins with a unit you'll then reap benefits, which can range from bonus units like workers to culture bonuses.

from http://pc.ign.com/articles/111/1110263p2.html. So I guess we will get ruins again!

heh

not sure what the six axis might be useful for except some odd zoom and move feature.

Weeping. Copious tears.

[crustbucket]

Did anyone else, when reading "22nd Century" in OP's first post immediately think of that old cartoon Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century?
