You are not the only one for sure, Civ VI still has daily player base of around 40000 - 50000.

I'm playing Civ 6 on my Series X the game is great.
I like how they are changing things for the next installment. Those guys are gamers and they are making a game for us - gamers

Yeah, they have a special rule for that, it goes something like this:
"33 percent brand new features, 33 percent improving previous features, and 33 percent staying roughly the same"

They mentioned this in that overview, I think, where they talked about the game with devs.
It feels like a pretty different game but with that - it's the same thought behind it as always

Maybe the decrease in late time micromanagement will lead to less sitting around waiting for the AIs to move?

Spoiler: Don’t spoil yourself the surprise…

Okay so since I did go with Founders, this drops in a month now on 6th.
Not sure how the gameplay turns out after all the changes for better or meh over all, didn't have much issues there in the past, still this one might be weird at first.
But the game looks absolutely stunning with those landscapes and built up cities/towns shown in the streams. Just can't wait!

Multiple game previews are out right now for Civ 7.

 

[Rentahamster]

I've been avoiding previews because I like having a fresh experience, but I have heard some people are upset about the pricing. Is it that bad?

Well, from what i know its 69 Bucks for the standard edition and 100 bucks for the Deluxe Edition and then about 130 for the Founders Edition which both give you 5 days earlier access.
Maybe thats why people are upset.

The problem people have (well me anyway) is that you need to buy cosmetic tat along with the actual additional content that you would want to buy. I have zero problem buying a premium edition that includes a season pass, but don't make 2 mini season passes, separate them into 2 different editions and then bundle skins and other rubbish along side them.

Now, I'm starting to get worried about this game.

 

[Hudo]

I kinda feel weird for not being able to get into Civ after Civ 5. Something is wrong with me and I don't know what it is. I tried to get excited for Civ 6 and nothing happened. Same here, I am trying to get excited for Civ 7 and... I got nothing.

That's indeed weird, have you tried consulting a psychiatrist?

With me I started with the fourth one. Those old ones were revolutionary and you didn't know much about them until you played them, but after a while it became too familiar since it is basically the exact same game each time.

Still going to try it on PC, I hope some of the magic gets rekindled this time.

 

[tr1p1ex]

I got into Civ2. And a few times the sun came up. And i got into Civ3 a decent amount as well.

By Civ 4 I was done.

IT's natural. Only so many times you can go around the merry go round before it's been there, done that.

IDK man, previews are saying it's very much different this time. I let myself surprise, though.

I know some people might be put off by that, but each civ game is very different from the previous one. I think that's a good thing for the evolution of the genre.

Yes it is. They even have a design philosophy for that: 33% of the game should keep established system, 33% should feature improved systems and 33% brand-new mechanics.

It's the Civ at launch phenomenon. You know it's only going to be truly worth playing 2-3 DLC later so why get hyped now.

4X in general kind of feel dead to me though. Maybe when machine learning AI becomes commonplace it will get interesting.

Civ 6 launched surprisingly stuffed and up to date where 5 left of. But then it just gets more and more complex by the 1-2 expansions.
Wasn't sure about the changes and yes above mentioned strange leader additions.. still I'm hyped AF right now. Definitely planning to invest just as much this time around as with 4 and 5.
This new one should be well balanced on the complexity due to improvements based on past systems going by the first impressions, and well the new system to pick your civs for the 3 ages sounded very weird at first, it just might work fine.

I'm going to start with ancient China and evolve it to America and nobody is going to stop me

I don't know much about the game, but age resets to mitigate snowballing civs seems good. I feel like it could have done without full on Humankind civ switching though but I kind of understand why they did it from a balancing point of view.
