This is simply unacceptable · 7:36pm Aug 20th, 2016

So, after my friend and I did the whole family share thing on steam so we can play each other's games I saw he had Civ V and on a whim I decided to give it a shot to see if I like it.
One hundred hours of straight gameplay time later* I am digging randomly through the workshop.

And I come across this particular one.


There's someone very important missing.




>game about being an immortal who starts their own civilization
>right from the discovery of farming and building an empire to conquer the world
>you go through all the important ages of man
>bare witness to all the innovations that made advancement possible
>putting a bunch of DC characters into this game as workshop content
>no Vandal Savage
>Death Stroke and Green Arrow instead








*I don't know what it could be about a game where you are an ancient immortal who builds up an empire that goes through all the eras of human history that could resonate with me so deeply. Especially not when it filled with citizens who follow your edicts blindly, worshiping the god you tell them to worship, following the ideology you tell them to fallow, and waging any war you want them to because of the evil them must be beaten and completely whipped out so I we can win.
Man that opening is a load of bullshit. Gives off this optimistic "humans will come together and reach for the stars" vibe but really this game is cynical as fuck if you actually look at it. As long as you keep the monkeys happy with wine and bananas you can do whatever you want. Its glorious.
