LGR - Sid Meier's Civilization VI Review

Commentary and gameplay on the Windows PC game Sid Meier's Civ 6! Is it an improvement over its predecessors? As a long-time fan of the series, I was psyched to find out.

To those asking about my t-shirt, it was sent to me by a viewer so I don't know where it came from or if it's for sale.
*EDIT: here it is!*

You are lucky to be living in a country where uncles play/recommend video games. That's so freakin cool. In India all I had was them trash talking each other and me getting constant lectures about how video games are not productive.

On the uranium note about a minute in; if the strategic resource spawns under your district, you get the strategic resource automatically. If the resource is already there, *then* building over it destroys it. That way you can build early without worrying about losing out on resources that haven't been teched to yet.

Sean Bean's in it...and he does NOT die!

I was googling "Drowned God" the other day, looking for Game of Thrones stuff and not at expecting competing results. I saw that it was a game, read through the wikipedia entry, and thought, "Aha! I have learned a truly obscure piece of gaming history."

Now I watch this video and see it sitting there, right on your shelf. Probably a run of the mill coincidence but it feels very surreal.

The ten Nukements:

1. Hail to the king.
2. Shake it for your Lord.
3. Do not run out of bubble gum.
4. Let your Lord sort the world's ills out.
5. Don't wait for Christmas.
6. Do not listen to disco.
7. Do not steal your Lord's mates.
8. Aspire for balls of steel.
9. Protect our women from extraterrestrials.
10. Before you boast, make sure your guns are big.

I must say that your channel are one of my absolute favourites, keep up the nerdy goodness! <3

[Mr.FastZombie]

I like how you put some Civ games and Civ City Rome behind you for this video.

[DMTACIDRAP]

Been watching your channel for a while now and this review is actually pretty special to me since I helped on QA testing for this game! You are awesome LGR!!

I'm currently in the middle of playing a marathon game with twelve civilizations on a huge map. I started playing as Russia because their cities expand faster and it's become something very weird. It started when I realized that while they gain bonuses from tundra, actually building cities on that terrain makes food incredibly hard to acquire. I was also first to acquire a religion which I decided to call leonism, after the constellation Leo. It wasn't for several hundred game years that I noticed the name was unintentionally similar to Leninism. I'm now living in the year 2030 (or there about), in a religious and scientific war with Gandhi, and have fully embraced my rule with a communist government. I have a massive stockpile of wonders and great works, a large number of cities, but several of them are starving or at least hungry. All hail the fictional USSR!

I just found your channel. Very good, appreciate the thought put into the reviews, and especially the lack of swear words. Subscribed!

[jackstevens]

Nukemism, huh. I guess Gandhi starts worshipping right away.

Anyone who is watching this right now in late May 2020, they have the game for free download until May 28 on Epic Games.

I've heard you mention and given some brief stories several times about how your uncle got you into games. I'd love to see you do a video about how your interest in games developed over time. Maybe a "How I got into games" video. My grandparents got me into games when I used to go over there and play their NES. I love hearing how other people got into games by mistake, a family member, friends, etc. and how their interest and habits changed over time with each new platform.

You mentioned the Caesar games as a series of citybuilders you love, but I can't find any videos on your channel. You've gotta make that happen, dude!

[Shenanirats]

Big fan since the first. Very impressed with this. It's an actual challenge for a change. I've spent 20 years developing my tactics for this game, and suddenly they don't really work! It's great!

AI is still a useless rube most of the time, though.

[Dragonfire]

I needed LGR today! It makes my day better! :D

[Crazetex]

I'm glad this seems to include the very recent patch. Thanks for doing this; this is a good video to send my friends who are on the fence, I think.

[maggiered]

Thank you for your honest review, LGR. I have been trying to look for honest cut throat reviews for this game & I always wanted to play this game on hand held mode & on the go. So I bought the physical copy for my Nintendo switch OLED & I am gonna be picking up the dlc bundle pack for it next month!

[Ninetails]

Nothing better on a day like this than a quickie with LGR.
