That looks like a really shitty version of dungeon keeper OP. Care to enlighten me so I can play it anyway?

That particular picture is a cut out of the dungeon keeper from the mobile pay to win version of the game pasted onto a picture of a 'modernized' version of alpha centauri. It doesn't exist, yet. The picture must have been made with the intention to showcase how they feel the game will become.

Do you want the game to suck? You should just calm down and not jump to conclusions; it doesn't really serve much of a purpose. From what little I've seen of Beyond Earth I think it has great potential. They seem to be addressing some of the problems I had with Civ5, mostly that Civ choices weren't diverse enough, and every game felt the same. The only thing I worry about is that they will once again have a horrible AI.

None of this keeps me up at night though, you need to calm down. Learn patience.

So now that it's out, any opinions? I've been holding off on getting it since Civ seems so shallow after playing the shit out of Europa Universalis and Victoria. I would kill for a space themed grand strategy game.

Beyond Earth is terrible. The really sad part is that all the makings of a good game are there, just no effort was put into it. Half the mechanics don't work the way they should and it is full of bugs and a clunky UI. After a month and a half Firaxis released a patch which all it did was update UI and fix some bugs, except that the patch resulted in MORE fatal crashes and it completely broke the entire intrigue mechanic. Your intrigue window will go blank after around 50 turns into the game, it happens to every single person.

The game is just a broken mess.

Guess I'll be waiting for the $5 complete version on Steam in a few years, then.
