    TB had a go and gives his impressions. Sounds great, and is more complex thatn previous games, which i was worried wasn't going to be the case.

    Confirmed.

    Sean Bean is voicing research, movements, etc., for the game.

    This will not make me buy it. Is this maybe customisable with the voices?

    The last 2 civ games were fully mod supported via steam workshop so I imagine there will be a very quick mod out to turn off the narrator


    for example some people in Civ 5 didnt like the new narrator so replaced him with the narrator from Civ 4 (leonard Nimoy) in a mod as can be seen here:

    I imagine something similar will be along with Civ 6.

    Unfortunately I don't have the time to spend on this or the machine to do it justice so I will give it a pass for a while.

    How times change... I took a day off for the last civilization launch and I was one of the first in the world to get beyond the sword.

    I think it's a testament to Civ V when you see the bigger YouTube strategy people like Quill18 still playing that and doing almost nothing beyond what I'm sure was promotional partnership content for Beyond Earth. It's my highest played/most hours game on Steam for a reason :)

    I've never played a Civ game.

    IS V something I should probably look at(considering its probably cheaper and bundled in upcoming sales) or is the latest installment maybe a better shout?

    Stupid Warcraft expansion taking up all my time, but I'm starting to get a hankering to go back to my routes to strategic single player games.

    Civ 3 was the best IMO. Then 5. Skip 4... beyond earth wasn't bad, but for a alpha centauri reboot, it sucked gandhi's balls.

    It looks like Civ6 is worth waiting for, unless the price difference between it and Civ5+expansions makes a significant difference to you.

    Early reviews and reports are suggestion 6 is the better game, and there'd be little point in having both.

    I guess I just figure that Civ 5 and expansions will get a good discount in the winter sale, but I might actually hold off for this version.

    I like the visual style and there seems to be some significant changes. It's a game I've always wanted to get into, so might be better getting into the latest version when everyone else is playing it

    I'm eyeing up getting this on Amazon digitally (the deluxe edition) as it is considerably cheaper

    £60 on Amazon (which is like €67)... on Steam its €79.99

    Does anyone have any feedback on getting digital games from Amazon? Do the email the key at exactly midnight?

    Will this game have any pre-loading?

    I need some advice. I normally get my PC games as discs but dont want to wait this time :/

    EDIT: Actually, just read Falthyron post.... might use that site instead.... are they very reliable and above board?

    Quite possibly one of the most reliable and safe key-selling sites out there. I have used them for years and never had an issue. :)

    I know I'm everything that's wrong with gaming, but I hard a hard day.

    I pre-ordered.

    The digital deluxe edition.:o

    I don't want to have to wait on Friday after work.

    It'll be straight into my underpants and then ensconcing myself in front of the computer until 6 am Monday morning.

    In my infinite wisdom, I (a month ago, well after I knew Civ 6 was coming out this weekend) scheduled a Scout camp for the entire weekend that I have to go on.

    Dave, you f*cking tool, you've surpassed yourself this time.

    Haven't used GreenManGaming myself but it's a couple euro cheaper (€62.09 for the "Digital Deluxe" version) on CDKeys, and I've used them plenty - http://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/sid-meiers-civilization-vi-6-digital-deluxe-pc-steam-cd-key

    What you're purchasing is a Steam product key, which you paste into Steam and download the game as normal from there.

    Can I just get some more info from you guys about how unreleased DLC Works on these Key Selling sites?

    Is it like a "Season Pass" where you get key for core game, key for pre-order DLC and key for Season Pass which covers 4 downloads and is linked to your steam account right from the off?

    Games I've purchased in the past have provided a key for the main game and then a second key for season pass DLC. You can usually see the DLC once activated as 'added' in your steam library under the main game but obviously no install option until it is actually released.

    I've used Kinguin and G2A in the past with no issues but now only use Greenman.

    Might go with greenman myself for this, only want the base game, not interested in the Deluxe at this point

    I ordered it there off Green man, was showing as €64 for deluxe, when I went to checkout it was €59.99.

    Happy days!

    Depends on the game. For Fallout 4, base game and season pass were two separate keys. For Civ, digital deluxe is all one key, while the Aztecs are separate.

    Same here - even more of a saving compared to Amazon's approximate €67!
