Ara not launching on Xbox doesn't help. Many people, including myself, have it lowest on the anticipated list. With that said, Ara might review better than any of these other games if they nail it!

*feels bad for Ara then votes for the most popular game*

Can't blame anyone though. Ara is for a very specific audience and for the time being, it's a PC-only game. It looks phenomenal though! Like a proper next-gen Sid Meier's Civilization if Firaxis wasn't used to not having any actual competition lol

Apparently the next TESO DLC is set in Skingrad.

Could be a pure coincidence that the Cyrodiil region is being expanded in the rumoured year of the Oblivion remaster, Lol.

IJ, simply because it's the most unknown so I'm curious how the gameplay is. But i'm interested in everything but Ara (sorry G2, too dented for those type of games)

Oh wow, didnt realize it was PC only.

In a age where Civilization and other Simulation games are coming out on consoles as well, strange choice.

Well to be honest I havent played a single City sim/strategy sim so cant say I would be excited for it lol.

It depends on what kind of simulation games they are. Civilization 6 is actually very divisive amongst the fanbase because the game was developed with console in mind. Instead of broad, realistic, life-size biomes like in previous games, Civ 6 was a flat map, almost like a tabletop game with geography layouts on top of it. That allowed the game to be nowhere near as CPU heavy for even mobile devices. 

Ara is going for not only realistic biomes and geography, but even real-time events happening like watching people walk along the roads despite being a turn-based game. If you look at gameplay between Civ 6 and Ara, it's night and day. Even battles, you actually see armies duking it out in real time in Ara. In Civilization 6, you only see 3 units total that are supposed to represent a huge army lol

It certainly could eventually come to console one day, but the devs are focusing on going all out on a proper PC first version. 

I can't wait to play it just to nuke the living hell out of the entire world which interesting enough, the devs of Ara have not shown what a nuclear explosion looks like in the game. 4X games are LONG though. A single game can last dozens and dozens of hours going through thousands of years from the caveman age to the futuristic age.

Huh? I don't understand what you mean here. How is Civ VI more flat and like a tabletop than Civ V or previous civ games? They are all tile/hex based maps. I don't think Civ VI was designed with consoles in mind. The first console version was over 2 years after the PC version.

Civ VI isn't a cpu demanding game though. It's turn based so not the same as simulation titles like Cities Skylines 2 that do need a beefy cpu to run well.
