Anyone else hyped for this? Just one week to go.
>>336390342
Moderately
>>336390342
Not been more hyped for a game in a long time.
>>336390342
more or less
Still not sure buy or pirate it
Damn, I want fantasy empire building game from paradox
>>336390342
I am
What's the best name for a fascist earth empire?
>>336390678
Mexico
>>336390342
I'm wait and see. If it's good, awesome, otherwise just another stinker on the pile.
Kinda. It looks too much like a menu simulator though.
>>336390342
preorder and collectors edition exclusive dlc
Looks alright Johan. Still won't give you money though.
>paradox once again treating combat as some non involved unsatisfying affair
>>336392029
The fighting isn't fun in this?
>>336392246
With the exception of the Hearts of Iron series, warfare in paradox games is dull shit.
>>336392029
It would slow the game way down and end up being shit anyways I reckon
>>336393015
That's too bad, but complex negotiation of space seems like fun. Is there multiplayer? It's tagged as such on steam
>>336392246
>>336393015
Why would you care about combat in the grand strategy?
I'm serious
>>336393265
Apparently you can have 42 players. I pray this means I can just take over and drop out of AI empires.
>>336390342
The /gsg/ shitposting broke me and I actually got pretty hyped for it. I'll probably wait for a sale though.
>>336393425
The whole premise of GSG is expansion, most of the time through warfare.
>>336390602
buy the base pirate the endless money grabbing expansions off the gsg general on vg
>>336393425
I dunno, I like rts's like supcom. It's fun
>>336393425
Because it is advertised as 4x, while being a fucking painting simulator in space. People generally expect some kind of decent combat control in 4x, be it real time or turn based
liquor lords say its shit and I believe them
>>336393878
>People generally expect some kind of decent combat control in 4x,
My sides
Of course paradox gsg combat is even worse than usual for the 4x, but damn. people you mentioned are braindead retarded for sure
>>336390342
I don't like the fact I can't terraform every planet in the galaxy to be my perfect home by the end.
>>336392246
Paradox games tend not to involve much on the tactical level, usually focusing more on where you've chosen to fight, and what kind of troops you're fighting with. Strategy over Tactics.
That said, Stellaris seems to be a bit more interesting, given the relatively deep technological system and the fact that fleets aren't locked to provinces. Plus like, battles look cooler in Stellaris.
>>336394236
ah, but you can genetically engineer your people to be perfect for each kind of planet.
>>336390342
i aam mildly interested, but i have just recently discovered endless space and they look exactly the same.
>>336395131
Very different games
Stellaris is real time with random made races
Endless space is just poorly made master of orion
>>336390342
>hype
>for a paradox title
never again, I'll probablypirate iteventually to see if it's any decent, then I might buy it in a few years when all the jew dlc is out and condensed into a package on 50% sale or more
Otherwise I wont touch it
>>336390342
SWORD OF THE STARS 3 FUCKING WHEN.
I will merrily pirate it
>>336394885
Can I do it cybernetically?
Why can't all my people be ghosts in a shell and that shell is basically a Terminator crossed with Raiden.
>>336397114
sots2 flopped hard. I was excited for it, then it turned out to be barely playable.
Not really.
Game looks interesting but also half done and with little content.
Combat is no fun and diplomacy and economy looks limited. Ship design is almost no existing. Combat looks like it gonna be "get bigger stack with bigger numbers".
There are probably be PC and forced shit in the game. Like purging will probably give you unhappiness in whole empire while make you also hated in universe. Or other correct shit.Sure I still gonna pirate it. Or not.
Game gonna be broken and bugged at start and when they fix it it gonna be broken by DLC. Tons of paid shit DLC.
Some with things that should be at start.
In short its shit.Buy it.
It's fucking EU4 in space you retards
>eating Paradox shit

>Hyped for a paradox game

You can go full cyborg. As for Terminators, there's a late tech army attachment that basically amounts to T1000 assassins/saboteurs.

just fuck my shit up fampai
>Some technologies are clearly marked as being “risky”, for example Robot Workers. Now, you might not always risk having your victory snatched out of your grasp, but in this case at least, you really are gambling with the fate of the galaxy. Just researching such a technology is safe; it’s the actual use of it that carries the danger. For example, the more sentient Robot Pops there are in the galaxy, the higher the risk is that they will come to deem organic life unfit to exist and rise up in a well-planned revolt. Unless crushed quickly and with overwhelming force, such a Machine Empire will quickly get out of hand and threaten all the remaining empires in the galaxy. Sentient robots will out-research and outproduce everyone. If the revolt is centered in a powerful rival empire, you’ll need to think carefully about when you want to intervene; a savvy player might time it just right and be able to mop up both the robots and the remnants of the rival empire. Leave it too long, however, and the robots will overwhelm you.
>>336399139
You can't.
When you start liberating and removing your empire get massive penalty to everything and most of your pop switch to pacifist or xenophile and form factions that want to secede.
What are you gonna do?
>>336399547
But what about supplication of the masses through the induction of a dogmatic etho-religious movement which--
You know what, fuck it. It's just easier to say "BUT WHHHHHHHHHHHY?"
>>336399752
He lies to you
>Empires with the Fanatic Xenophobe ethos (so yes, you can create an expy of the Imperium of Man if you want).
>"We must guard ourselves against the alien elements that would disrupt our society, the influences that would debase our genetic and cultural heritage. The Other is to be held at arm's length, and that arm is to hold a sword.
>>336399752
because Paradox is run by SJWs
>>336399835
just because you don't know what POPs are and how they work doesn't mean that dude was lying
>>336399547
you can, you just have to be fanatic xenophobes and take one of the goverment types that slows ethics divergence, pretty much
>>336399927Mods will fix it
Paradox is the Bethesda of Grand Strategy.
>>336399659
I hope those endgame crises are done well, the idea of having to sacrifice significant parts of my empire in a desperate attempt to hold back a sudden threat gets me oddly hard.
>>336399139
I'm gonna make the United Space of America.
Fanatic Individualist Militarists who go around Liberating ayylien planets and blowing shit up in the name of FREEDOM.
>>336400053
>>336399835
The pop allegiance isn't static.
You can have Fanatic Xenophobes turning into Fanatic Xenophiles and Fanatic Militarist into fanatic pacifist.
It takes times normally but some events can accelerate or make this instant. Guess what.Purging and not being nice is one of it.
>>336400245
>I'm gonna make the United Space of America.
Going to make the Greater German Reich.

>>336400095
Its first 4x space game since 90x that got real invasions from deep space and awakening ancient evil shit
So yeah, your empire can be wrecked hard in the late game, I could hold back only with cheats. But I specially go with most retarded choices when it started
>>336400424
Surprisingly it changes fast only if you have more than 3 species in your empire
>>336400463
As if Germans are good at winning and purging. If you want to make job done you need a real men.Slavs and Mongols will do.
You gonna lose and big nosing aliens gonna rule Earth forever.

>>336400560
fuck off johan
>>336399752
You can enslave and exterminate enemy species at little to no detriment if your empire is xenophobic. You can also literally become a God-Emperor in the late game if you start with the Divine Mandate government type. That, and the gene-warrior army types later on make a 40k playthrough totally viable from what's been shown
>>336400560
SotS had it.
Distant Worlds have it. Kind of.
Yeah actually this could be good. But Paradox will take good idea and twist it into something shitty.

What if I tell you that Soviet revolution was sponsored by Wall Street but gone Rogue and Stalin was the guy who try to purge it from big noses?
What if I tell you that Hitler gain power only thanks to Stalin support and they both divide world but Hitler become to greedy and backstab Soviets even when they were faithful allies thanks to whom his success against West was possible?
What if I tell you that German Invasion was a Satan gift for the big noses as two of their enemies beat each other almost to death?
What if I tell you that USA and UK never have any plans to honour deal with Soviets and prepare to backstab them immediately after the war?
>>336401183
its generic rts . click drag over units send them to x point
whats more off putting with stellaris is the stupid animation tweening done so badly for npcs when they talk.go watch the development game play vid . the cat people ;look like their trying to break their own neck when they talk by throwing their heads back repeatedly and their mouths dont even open
dont get me wrong the idle/talking animations as a concept is cool but it looks bad

But he choose Germans who are good at losing big wars and getting cucked. So he handed Earth to big noses Aliens forever.
>>336401221

Paradox actively admit it is their most casualized game to date. It looks more like some cheap Civ knockoff than anything else.

Don't waste your time. /gsg/ has been stroking a raging hate boner for Paradox games for years now since they started making it harder to win as smaller countries.
>>336405271
Which change made it harder to win as a small country? The trade that assures you get shitloads of money regardless of size? The ruler mana that is independent of country size? The free claims that you can just get whenever you want? The base manpower and force limits that each country gets now so everything with less than 10 provinces is the exact same? The unit tech groups that make it so all units are the same?

EU is broken and far from fun not even mention jew DLC and HoI is a really autism simulator not a WW II historic game. Seriously HoI combat system is terrible.
Most(if not all) of paradox games lack content or is broken shit or have crappy mechanics or all of it.
last time when I have fun was in times of EU I&II.

>Parajew game
>Hype
I remember they asked a few years ago on their "Paradox Plaza" crap about what portrait DLCs they should make now. Paradox is a cancer in the industry, it's just hidden from the masses since most people don't five fucks about grand strategy nor do they care about Paradox' evil monopoly on the genre.
Paradox is one of the worst companies in the video game history, even players that like the games (that don't suck their dick at Paradox Plaza) say they loathe the fucking company for bloating up their games with $1000 of DLC. Stellaris will not be any different, and it is simply another cash grab to steal money from autists rather than a good game that they actually wanted to make.
>>336405271
>harder to win as smaller countries
>literally had to retry as granada for a miracle start to even survive in eu3, let alone succeed
>can do all that by slamming your skull on the keyboard in eu4
>>336406283
Pretty much this.
I would bet diamonds against coal that they probably cut or avoid developing some parts of game and mechanics so they could develop them later and sell them as DLC and expansions.
>>336406283

>>336406546
not to mention how you can already be a continent-spanning blob in north america before the europeans roll in, and that's with a later start date
>>336406590
they already said they would make DLC for focus trees in HoI4
a focus tree is like a tree of choices you can make which can be modded in 10 minutes
>>336406283
>Paradox is one of the worst companies in the video game history, even players that like the games (that don't suck their dick at Paradox Plaza) say they loathe the fucking company for bloating up their games with $1000 of DLC
What's wrong with it? Just don't buy the ones you don't want
With exception EU4(which was still bigger game than eu3) each their new vanilla game has more content than previous one from this series
I remember outrage when they announced muslim dlc for the ck2 with new mechanic
This shit never even was in the ck and no one even wanted to play as them, but now everyone demanded it to be in the vanilla and as a dlc
Same with sprites, for more than 10 years everyone were happy with 3 different types of unit sprites for 3 main types of nations, but now when they decided to sell more as a dlc people started to complain
>>336406590
>avoid developing some parts of game and mechanics so they could develop them later and sell them as DLC and expansions.
Can I have examples with any their dlc heavy games like eu4 and ck2?
>>336406283

>>336406590
you mean like every other developer in the last 10 years?

>>336407069
>What's wrong with it? Just don't buy the ones you don't want
Here we go, the "don't like it, don't buy it" argument.
The DLCs contain little content compared to the price which is ridiculous to say he least. They boast about adding this and that, when in reality they are scamming people by creating patches that add portions of the DLC making it less worth, and force you to either buy or pirate it since the mechanics and balance of the game depend on the fucking DLC. Don't even start with the "downgrade to a previous patch then" bullshit.
This is what you get when people like this develop the games.
>>336407483
I actually like paradox games but they are being complete jews by adding small shit every few months for a price of 10 euros. Also it doesn't feel as if I have the complete game when new features get released so often.
>>336407885
>This is what you get when people like this develop the games.
lol 90% of people who make games look like that
>>336407885
Didn't the patch that added development make it so you couldn't fucking use the feature unless you bought the DLC?

Is there anything in this game that hasn't already been done by GalCiv2?
>>336407069
The 'cosmetic' stuff. Music, units pack, dynasty shields, portraits , faces packs.
The paid patches with mechanics that centre around nomads, Muslims, pagans etc. Hell most of the map is coveted by their and in base game they have no unique mechanics. Heck even Merchant republics or Church. Either they completely suck at making games or they just milk people. And then you have guys who mods it in their spare time armed only with autism and produce quality mods.

Your answers are tied to your ideology. If you go fanatic xenophobe militarist you will have very different choices.
Damn SPAZ 2 is coming out on the 19th, don't know if I should get this or that.
>>336416526
So if you want to be screw a specific faction but be pacific with another one you're screwed? Who comes up with those dumb ideas?
>>336414551
It's just a choice on how you want to interact with them, I'm sure this game isn't claiming to be a dialogue heavy romance/friendship simulator.
>>336416545
I forgot that was even a thing they've took so long with it. But
>Early Access
don't do it anon.
>>336414551
It isn't an RPG. Why are you expecting varied levels of dialog?
>>336416727
the single player is 100% finished, it only says early access because he's adding multiplayer later
>>336416783
How the fuck are you supposed to make diplomacy if the dialogues are bioware levels of lazy? If is true that you also have aggressive dialogues, why lock the options? If the game isn't combat heavy and it's not diplomatic heavy what's the fucking point? Would it actually be so painfully hard to actually have decent interactions?
>>336417023
Your options depend on how you made your race.
Again, it's not an RPG.
>>336416613
>why can't i just magically change the entire ethos and culture of my space empire on a whim?
>>336417142
So you're defending the game locking you to aggressive or peaceful stances and simply giving the illusion of 3 different choices on those stances? And I here thinking part of the appeal of the genre was being able to create your own path. No wonder the industry is down the shitter you idiots just eat it up.
>>336415990
Is the guy with the MAGA hat jewish? Watching the single player Blorg stream and he has a habit of doing weird money bartering motions with his hands.
>>336415990
I have no idea why they have cKnoor there other then hes Swedish.
99% of his content is BloodBowl.
>>336417452
You still have peaceful and aggressive choices, their WORDINGS differ depending on your ethos. The "Salute you" dialogue in the pic is for someone that are fanatic xenophile, and they can declare war as easily as other factions. Your people wont like it, and it is presented in a different way, but you have same diplomatic options as the xenophobes.
>>336417725
i didn't realize he had his own content going on. i think he's cute desu
>>336407217
muh hours played
Fuck the haters, I've happily put hundreds of hours into Paradox games and will continue to do so, but the lack of diplomatic content is seriously putting me off.
There's a limited number of embassies you can maintain, and no espionage system so there's no way to truly effectively influence your neighbors besides force of arms. The diplo mechanics the game looks to be shipping with are basically for getting war allies, and while the federation mechanic looks interesting, the leadership rotation and voluntary federation fleet contribution is going to be a problem. You'll be spending the majority of the time unable to pursue your own goals, and will get to watch and rage at the AI horribly mismanaging the shared fleet.
For a company that prides itself in making complex games, the lack of depth to diplomacy and espionage seriously worries me.
As of right now the most in depth mechanics we have involve purging our internal populations, capturing slaves, or just genetically modifying pre-sentients to become slave thralls, as well as fending off galactic scale threats that require armadas not controlled by the AI.
Hopefully the WH40k tier fascist empires will keep us entertained until DLC starts dropping, but if they don't vastly expand diplomacy within the first two, this game is going to join the masses of forgotten space empire sims.
