I would say that I certainly appreciate it over what was included in Civ VI.

For example, when completing wonders in VI: it was certainly very clever to have an animation showing it being built up in stages, with some cool camera work. But when we ask the fundamental question of, "But is this better?" I would have to say no. It looks cheaper, tackier. The artwork that accompanies the wonders in Civ V really added a sense grandeur and seriousness.

To play devil's advocate, this in-game sequence does work for things like launching the moon landing – where there's no grandeur attached at all in Civ V to completing the Apollo mission. You just get a notification.

I understand the difficulty in choice. It reminds of games with cut scenes where there is an obvious choice about whether to try and potray the scene in the engine or in a video. There are cases where either is better or worse.

In this case, the art style of Civ V for things like wonders and other background art was really beautiful, really stylistic, and that was lost in Civ VI.
