In other words: people who buy Pandora are people who are likely to like it and the pitch it made. Hey DanQ, if this thread blows up, mention on Polycast please!Ĭlick to expand.Also, in general, people give indie developers an easier pass because they lack the resources bigger developers like Firaxis have, plus is attracts a more niche audience. P.S: These forums are fairly dead as of late, hopefully this will spark some discussion. I also hope that firaxis heeds what you have to say, and maybe this helps them see different options on how to fix this game. I ask this here, because my guess is, that all of you here at civfanatics, are big fans of this genre, and have most likely played the game and can enlighten us on where this game has done better/worse, and maybe how BERT or future CIVBE expansions/DLC's/Patches can do better. I think BE got an easy pass since it's a Sid Meier title. I don't go by Metacritic: critic scores, although BE's score is 81, whereas Pandora is 68. That being said, I do believe this game must have done some things right to merit a score that is quite a bit higher than CIV BE.Ĭurrent Metacritic User score BE: 5.5 (Release Date: Oct 24th 2014)Ĭurrent Metacritic User score Pandora: 7.4 (Release Date: Nov 13th, 2013) ( I am aware, they may have started the development earlier) One would think that Firaxis would have seen the good and bad this game had and perhaps planned on making a better game.Īnyways, I haven't played this game and I probably won't since I personally think CIV BERT will fix enough of the current game to be better than this PANDORA game.(Unless maybe it goes on 90% sale somewhere, which is doubtful after the summer sale) I would say this is a significantly higher score, wouldn't you? This really shocked me, that a Dev team formed from 2009, managed to beat firaxis at making a futuristic CiV game, and release the game 11 months before Beyond Earth as well. So, I notice that CIV BE has a 52% on STEAM, and PANDORA has a 70%. When taking breaks from playing, I started randomly browsing around steam looking at 4X strategy games. As of lately I have gotten tired of achievement hunting in BE, and have reverted to playing CIV V.
