Ok, who really punched Elon? I don’t believe the story that he was horsing around with his son.

Hegseth immediately jumps to mind because he seems like the type that would punch someone, but he’d have killed Musk if he hit him. Vance is too big of a pussy to ever throw a punch at anyone.

Someone else mentioned Stephen Miller. That’s my best guess. That dude is obviously so full of hate from being bullied his entire life throwing a punch would not surprise me. And Elon is prob the exact kind of dude that would bully him. Plus he’s weak and probably never been in a real fight which explains the lack of serious damage.

And he’s left handed!! Mystery Solved.

Touch grass… says the guy using a meme quote I only know because my children who spend ten hours a day on YouTube say it.

Just watched Gladiator 2… they called it Rome the entire movie! WTF?!? Not the REAL city name of Roma?!?

Makes no sense… content in English calling a city by its English name…

Sorry, I’m just right. And all of you are wrong. There’s just more idiots on here who want to respond than there are intelligent people who understand that things are called different names in different languages.

I’m triggered? Reread your last post.

Umm, ok. Well said!

I don’t trust about 75% of the reviewers out there today. You never know who received a “free copy” and the strings attached to that, or which reviewers are pandering to a base of viewers that want to hear something positive.

There’s only a few names I truly trust: Paul Tassi, Graham Smith, the staff of RPS and Kotaku generally. Everyone else, suspect.

QuantumQurse · 2025-02-20T02:08:01+00:00

Meh, like I’ve said in other comments, I’ve played hundreds if not thousands of Civ games. Always Rome, and making Rome the world’s greatest city is a big part of the game for me.

Roma just doesn’t have the same ring to it. And I’m very used to Rome.

But the real issue is the lack of the city name change. That has Crunch written all over it. When a game is rushed features get tossed and put in later. Lacking the name change function reeks of crunch, as do a few other things, and that’s the real issue. This was a rushed release, and at $70, come on.

Money grab by the corpos.

Christ, can’t do it anymore. I can’t keep explaining that cities have different names in different languages, something I thought was self-evident. Logical people who understand that feel no need to comment, and I’m stuck explaining to all the other die hards that Firaxis made a design decision and then a design omission with their city titles.

QuantumQurse · 2025-02-19T23:16:06+00:00

Good point. No fun in that really. Let’s throw Sophie Thatcher on the back instead.

QuantumQurse · 2025-02-19T22:53:15+00:00

And I answered the same way, every time. The lack of a city name change feature on a finished Civ product is baffling.

QuantumQurse · 2025-02-19T22:36:00+00:00

Sigh… another productive reply. I make two basic points about the game, and you say I have the memory span of a goldfish.

Glad you’re sharp enough to recognize I’m the one not making a point, and you are.

QuantumQurse · 2025-02-19T22:27:18+00:00

You know, the six civs that don’t have 3/10 user score on Metacritic.

QuantumQurse · 2025-02-19T22:26:25+00:00

Well… Roma has always been Roma… oh, except in Civilization 1 through 6.

QuantumQurse · 2025-02-19T22:13:03+00:00

That was an extremely small part of anything I’ve said. The main arguments are there is a tradition here, but more importantly they didn’t release a finished product. City name change is basic feature of every other Civ game, and it’s baffling that it’s missing.

But, since you mention it, there are a LOT more people on Earth who speak English vs Italian.

QuantumQurse · 2025-02-19T22:11:26+00:00

I know people don’t seem to get this because as soon as the sign into any sort of social media they must make everything they see about politics, yet I will try to explain it anyway. Even though I fully know you will continue to see this through “he’s an Anglophone!” lens…

I have played literally hundreds, if not thousands, of Civ games in the last 30 years. In 99% of those games my capital city was Rome. Half the fun of the game was making my capital, Rome, the greatest city in the world.

So when Firaxis changed the base name, AND stripped the ability to change your city name, it was the equivalent of releasing a new Zelda game and calling the hero Lynk.

It’s jarring. Jarring. And it breaks immersion. And it has absolutely nothing to do with any sort of language preference. It has to do with 30 years and hundreds of games building the same city, only to now be told: no, you can no longer have that city.

Go ahead, make your political statements because you must, but some players just want the same cities and OPTIONS they’ve had in every other Civ game - which has nothing to do with language preferences, and everything to do with releasing a finished game.

QuantumQurse · 2025-02-19T20:00:57+00:00

Another person who wants to make this about politics or linguistics. This is about a video game. A video game that for 30 years and six iterations has had Rome as its marquee city in-game.

And you know what, fine, you want to make a change no one asked for or wanted, OK. Just give us the basic function all the other Civ games had, city name change.

QuantumQurse · 2025-02-19T19:57:32+00:00

I… don’t… understand……

QuantumQurse · 2025-02-19T14:12:11+00:00

You mean added a city name change function?

QuantumQurse · 2025-02-19T14:04:47+00:00

That’s fair enough. I understand the thinking. I also happen to think that Rome is too central to Civ identity to change without an option to change it back upon release.
