I'm sorry, but the diplomacy in EVERY Civ game ever has been terrible. I don't expect this expansion to actually improve anything.

cynic in me thanks MS for charging us for a D-pad that works.

@sammo21 I just finished FO:NV, and I totally agree. It's absurd that they would ship this. And I'm playing the most recently patched version!

The AI is my biggest complaint about Civ5. I hope they really overhaul that.

This would be a billion times more cool if the commands were in some sort of natural language.

Maybe not, I guess "liara singularity" is faster than "liara shoot that guy!"

Good job Leland Yee, you dumbass.

I love Valve, but they should not be using the DOTA name.

Someone is making a terrible rookie mistake. DON'T STAND NEAR THE GAS PUMPS. One alien grenade and it's all over!

"In the heat of battle, it'd be great to just yell "Get down!" to your crew, sending them running for the nearest bit of cover. You can tell "James" to "attack," but it would be more fun to say "Kill that guy, James!" or "open fire!" and trust that he'll do it."

This is exactly why Siri seems so neat (even though it doesn't always work well). It takes a huge step in contextual understanding which is what's needed here.

I haven't listened to the Joystiq podcast since the new show, but I'm going to give it another go. I used to love the old Xbox360Fancast.
