Why was that other thread deleted?
All right, no more advertising. This game is shit. I fucking hate it. How could I dare share stuff about this game on a video games board. Seriously. God forbid I want to enjoy anticipation for an upcoming release.
And not discuss why overwatch is shit or why niggers are in the new battlefield.

Seems like a generic space 4X but the late-game turns into CK2 style affairs.
The real interesting bit for me is the late game crisis's like the energy beings or extragalactic invaders
does this work for the Star Trek federation?

>>336847631
Looks good to me. Seems pretty spot-on. My only hesitation would be that the Star Trek Federation is kind of both Collectivist and Individualist, but that can't be represented here.

Niggas are in the new battlefield because it's histoically accurate.
Overwatch is shit because it's trying to blanket pander to the lowest common denomination.
Stellaris is shit because it's spent a week hyping the game in the worst way possible, with a dirty looking honkey with fucking rastafarian hair, and some other awkard little bastard.
Instead of just giving the less spergy of youtube "let players" access to the fucking game. Or hell releasing a demo.

Why couldn't this game be released on Friday so I could play it over the weekend?

Yet these threads don't get deleted. Double standards is all. No /pol/ involved at all. Posting overwatch tits and cumslut webms is advertising in it's purest form, as is making threads about LOL BLACK WW1. Damn I'm salty.
>>336848685
My point is still valid no matter how much you derail from the original subject. No militaristic society, especially in such a far far future, can actually be "intolerable of alliances". It doesn't make sense.
>>336849047

its because Johan is thought to be pushing for all the DLC which is pretty ridiculous

DISCLAIMER: I fucking hate this game. It's shit. Don't buy it for all intents and purposes. Please be an informed customer.
Can planets be destroyed in this? Meaning is there planet killing weapons or can you destroy them somehow by killing all life in them leaving only barren rocks behind?
>>336850405
I'll pirate it because Paradox still hasn't fixed CK2
>>336850509
Orbital bombardment's a major option
>>336850509
Not that we know of, but there are late-game techs that Paradox haven't announced like methods of FTL travel other than the original 3 we have access to.
>>336850509
No planet wiping as of now, planet killers etc will probably be DLC, so be aware of that. Paradox has a history of adding stuff like this later on.
>>336847631

>memetarialist
>>336850509
I'd honestly want option to enslave and finally exterminate all life in planets after I have used all natural resources there. Then move on to next planet. Would be kinda fun as some insectoid race that just moves through galaxy and kills planets slowly by just settling on them.
>>336849641
I think that would be xenophobe
>>336850975
not really
_phile=like, _phobe=fear/hate
>>336850907
Enslaving is no problem, but purging alien life seems to bring harsh diplomacy penalties, even inside your own empire. Seems vassalage and delegation is the better option, maybe lategame you can start the holocaust, if you make sure none can interfere.
>>336851182
>phobe=fear/hate
No it's just fear, not hate my senpai, stop trying to change the meaning of words
>>336851363
Kinda kills my fun, if I start as race which is aimed to be all consuming dicks that only care about themselves. They shouldnt take massive penalties, if I decide to purge alien life from planets.
>>336851558

REV UP THOSE SLAVE EMPIRES
>>336851558
>I should experience no consequences for holocausting entire species
Yeah nah
>>336851558
There are AI empires who won't like that because of their ideology.
Also some Fallen Empires are absolutely against purging/slavery and will fuck you up.
>>336851558
puring is an option, but there are fallen empires, that basically start with maxed out tech. and there is one confirmed fallen empire that condemns purging. your neighbors might not care, but if you are in the vicinity of the fallen empire, you might not be able to purge at all.
pic unrelated, that's a galactic menace unleashed by being to greedy.
Reposting science shrooms
>>336851634
>>336851780
I don't care if other empires get mad and I get massive diplomacy penalties. But if my scary tentacle monster species get mad about it, I do care though.
>>336851865
>>336851940
Thats what I meant. I'm willing to take diplomacy penalties, since I want to try out playing as something that isnt going to work with other races. But does my own species condemn me, if I start purging, even in that case if I pick Xenophobe traits and such?
>>336852324
Nah, if you pick ethos/traits that make your pops like slavery they won't give a shit
>>336852380
Thats great then, thanks. I'm probably gonna get fucked by everyone by being a dick, but I'm willing to try it out.
>>336852324
I don't think they might early game, but late game they very well could. As you grow, you delegate control. You control maybe 5-7 worlds yourself, the rest is given to governors. Your own people in these more and more distant worlds will diverge from your ethics, and may very well revolt against you.
Not many pre-release players have reached that late-game stage yet, but the mechanics are there. You can replace your population with robots/genetically modify them etc and this all brings risks, not much is known as of yet.

You can also select which ship type you want. Eg, if you're a Mammal and you don't like the ship style, you can pick Avian ship style instead.
>>336854030
>>336854137
Well you can technically create empire like that, but i guess you will sooner or later face problems the more you grow, because staying "pure" and true to your origin will be an enormous task, because increasing tech/automation/gene splicing will make it more and more difficult.
>>336854573
Also, mod tools for adding more ship types and portraits and stuff are *already out*. There'll probably be way more options, be it DLC or UCC not too far off.
>>336854550
Get Hype!
>>336854609
From my limited experience with the game (watching it) I think you can just not research the eugenics techs to avoid that happening.

>>336854762

Yeah the soundtrack is honestly pretty shit. Even Civ 5 had different sound tracks for every Civ, at least 1 for war and another for peace time. I didn't need to turn the music off in Civ at all. Comparable games like Endless Space/Legend have fucking fantastic soundtracks.

Not that anon, but I'm willing to try that out for my hivemind idiot empire that just enslaves/purges everyone on sight. No need for diplomacy. I'm betting I'll get raped by alliances in mid game or something, but whatever. Gonna do it anyway.

It has been hinted at that a "galactic threat" is indeed one, so at this point in the game it might just be time to put aside any dispute and _unite_
Can I play this as the UNS from Macross?
>>336855629
No idea. I can see having fun in MP when this sort of stuff arises and the players need to unite or perish. I know for certain the friends I'm playing with will likely only realize they need to gang together when it's too late.
>>336855974
I would expect in Single Player there will be relationship modifiers that go into affect when a Galactic Menace materializes and would go away if the menace is defeated.
I quiver with anticipation.

>>336847281
A good blend of Grand Strategy and 4x games with race creation, in game missions and neat interactions with various types of aliens like uplifting or reptillian'ing their world leaders to make them your vassal.
Obvious flaws I see is that going by the lets plays I have watched, a lot of the missions repeat (mining drones, space whales, space amoebas) and each empire doesn't not feel particularly unique apart from a few ethics-only techs.
>>336856838
Yes, but Human races are only randomised leader visual variations, not populations.
>>336856967
>>336857106
Yeah there is just not enough points to do it properly.
Is there sexual engineering in this game?
>>336857149
I think the empires will be more defined by the tech paths they chose, and whether or not they participate in key activities like robotics, AI, gene mods and so on. Mission variety is an issue currently, but the devs already said that the common questlines (amoebas, drones etc) can take branching paths and lead to complete different outcomes. Hope they add more, though.
>>336857527
I would expect mods will add more quests as well.
>>336856967
>>336857106
It would be cool if you could start as a stagnant pseudo-fallen empire, and get more points to spend but at some kind of big disadvantage.
>>336857504
True enlightenment does not know any gender.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TranshumanismI don't think sex has any effect in this game
So are the traits important on what you do or is it more for roleplaying?
>>336857805
They do have effects throughout your playthrough besides the stats they give, I think they are important
>>336857805
They give bonuses and the like.
>>336857527
Prolly DLCs will expand it enough. For all their faults, Paradox knows how to properly flesh out their games through DLCs.
>inb4 price
Only a few autists buy them, as you can use pirated DLCs with legit game copy. And I think they are well aware of the fact and that is why they don't enforce a serious defense against piracy.
>>336857805
You can alter everything. All traits like Decadent, Weak, Strong and so on, can and probably will change, because each pop can develop their own traits. You might want to purge/migrate population with weaker traits or with traits that don't fit your ideology, but your "species" will evolve the more you grow.
If this game turns out shit, what do you suggest I play instead?
>>336854573
I really don't like any of the ship or city designs. I know it is a minor thing, but limited those types of designs based on your species type feels weird.

>>336849047
>No militaristic society, especially in such a far far future, can actually be "intolerable of alliances". It doesn't make sense.
The entire concept of Unilateralism flies in the face of your retardation. Furthermore it by no means makes it impossible, just that your culture is less willing to play second fiddle in any arrangement and that peaceful empires are more wary of any promise of peace with an overly aggressive neighbor.
So what's the verdict, /v/? Good game? Worth the price?
>>336857985
During the MP livestream I suggested the idea of a season pass (if PDX is adamant on doling out hundreds of minor DLC) to encourage people to buy them and save money, compared to buying every one individually, the responses were gold.
>season passes are untenable and wouldn't make enough money for Paradox

Review embargo. Let's plays and live streams are not reviews.
>>336859003
They might as well be to be honest, you get a lot more detailed thoughts and experience from them.
>>336859003
We're still able to see just about every aspect of the game for ourselves. It's not like anything is really being hidden from us.
Hopefully you can still pirate all the DLC with a legit copy of the game like Paradox's other releases. I'm not going to be buying their super weapon DLC and bird man DLC for $1.99 each.
>>336858480
Well, that's the thing. Paradox has in mind in its marketing scheme both the average guy that buys only the base games and maybe the major expansions and the autistic parabots that buy all their overpriced shit.
I truly believe that they are well aware of the positives of piracy, even if they make official statements against.
What would a game like CKII be like without all the shit added in expansions(esp. the fluff like in Way of Life)? Except newcomers to their franchises, most people buy their base games in expectation of DLC expansion and improvements.
So as long as they don't shoot themselves in the foot with a strict anti-piracy enforcement, it's best to adopt a live and let live attitude on our part instead of sperging out on /gsg/ about how greedy they are and how their games are shit(while sinking hours upon hours in them).
Is this more like EU4 or Victoria 2?
Also, Crusader Kings in space when?
>>336859071
In theory they are far more biased as the publisher gets to decide which youtubers get early access and should they portray the game in a negative light they won't get the next title and their channel will receive fewer viewers.

It's exactly like the civilization universalis mod for EU3
>>336859329
>it has even more mana
Oh for fucks sake.
>>336859247
Perhaps, but they're also giving the game to people who actually play and understand grand strategy games, rather than reading some review from some clueless schmuck who doesn't even understand what he's playing.
>>336859247
And this differs from other professional reviewers how?
>>336851865

>>336859409
I don't know who you've been watching but all the faggot LPers they gave Stellaris to early that I've seen are pretty fucking terrible at this game and misunderstand basic rules in game that apply across Paradox's catalog of similar games.

Glad to see this meme is still alive years later
>>336859876
The games are not hard and they're still bad. You can't fucking read just like the youtubers who suck cock for early access.
Is this game sort of 'sandbox' where you generally run a big space empire for a while, or is it like a lobby where you fight other factions until the end of the match?
(Evil Genius vs Star Craft, basically. Although most space games like Star Craft take much MUCH longer)
>>336859876
Paradox games are not hard, their UIs are utter shit. Stellaris may be the first ever Paradox game where you can fucking see what is happening and control it without having to navigate through clicking 10 different hidden buttons.

You can see everything on the map, the only issue is that engineers/scientists/combat ships/colony ships are all identical on the map, so you cant tell which is which without clicking on it, but >>336860201

hello dunning-kruger, how are you today?
>>336860374
You sure are making an eloquent argument, anon.
have you preordered it? make sure to buy all the awesome DLC that the great folks at paradox will be putting out as well pls
>>336860045
I don't really care about someone being better than me at a game I'm not interested in.
>>336860218
>you can only enjoy a genera if you have been playing it already for years
wat
Regardless I played Sins of a Solar Empire and Star Drive like crazy. I imagine those fall below your elitism meter (since they were made this decade) and don't count though.
>>336860432
Yeah, through a russian proxy for $11. Fucking jews can suck on it.

You should go play it right now. It's my favorite game. I'm sure you'll end up loving it. I didn't even cared about space or rocketry before I played it.

Retards aside, I think Paradox struck a good balance between their usual gsg and 4x. When companies try to mix different genres, they usually end up with a mediocre, messy game(ex: Spellforce for RTS+RPG mix). I really have high hopes for this, as the 4x genre(and Civ especially) is in dire need of a reimagining.

who cares about that, they were sideline niggers bringing water and if 1 nigger out of 30 bilion fuckin white people was there, we should give 2 fucks ? fuckin americans i swear i hope trump wins and if he fails i hope you get bombed to death by russia
>>336860617
I did play it years before it came onto Steam and I didn't enjoy it.
>>336860795
It has been improved a lot since then. For example, it now has actual aerodynamics.
>>336860594
>through a russian proxy for $11
Illegal, enjoy your steam ban.
>>336860646
wew glad im not the only one making a starship troopers empire
>>336860669
Spellforce was fun man
It came out as the last good rts in the era , now we have nothing
>>336860741
The governments you can choose from are determined by your ethos. Being materialist/spiritualist or militarist/pacifist unlock new options, being collectivist/individualist restricts options, being a xenophobe/phile doesn't do shit.
>>336860887
>illegally pre-order
What?
>>336860852
You can stop wasting your effort trying to convince me to play it. I won't be. The game does not appeal to me.
Fucking shills
>>336848325
It might be historically accurate but why do people feel the need to force niggers all the time? Seriously what are the goddamn benefits of being a nigger? What is the appeal of niggers? And why can't I enjoy not having to suffer these goddamn niggers?
>>336860970
>I don't understand fraud
>>336860931
I agree, but it still had a long way to go for it to be great. And what have we got instead? Memes of the Past.
I have no expectations for Spellforce 3.
>>336861206
It's not illegal you moron, at worst it's against steam's TOS
>>336860605
that's the liberal word twisting amigo

>>336860968
>being collectivist/individualist restricts options, being a xenophobe/phile doesn't do shit
Each of these gives you more edict options and changes your tech progression. Collectivist/individualist also affects how your people migrate which can give you ways to undermine other factions. This can result in a cultural victory of sorts if you have sympathetic factions of your species within other empires.
>>336861206
What constitutes the fraud? That it is bought from a foreign country where it is marketed as cheaper?
>>336861393
Ignore the armchair lawyers talking about shit they don't understand.
>>336861376
The first part of my statement that you cut out was rather important for context, anon.
>>336861234
>I have no expectations for Spellforce 3.
I just hope it still has the coop character building + RTS elements. Shit was crazy fun with a friend or two.
Well done mix of persistent character progression and RTS. Loved it.
>>336861376

> Paradox knows how to properly flesh out their games through DLCs.
By that you mean add unnecessary, game-breaking fluff bullshit that is quite literally just stacked on top of one another for no particular reason?
EU4 did not need sailors (little to no impact). It doesnt need corruption (I've literally never gotten above 1). It doesnt need estates (they do literally nothing for the costs involved). And it certainly doesnt need the shitty fucking state / territory system (why the fuck am I paying money to a parcel of land I own?)
I can not imagine that the 40K setting works with the game.
Wait, when exactly is it coming out?
>>336861940
1 day from now
does your country have space night?

They should hire better voice actors, polish the graphics(with a proper character creator) and expand on the RPG with the quest choices and a properly fleshed out plot and setting.
Shit was fun, but if someone asks me about the game beyond mechanics, I don't really think that I could properly define the lore.
Lionheart is another game that deserves a polished sequel to do it some justice.

Buying keys that were likely stolen (or purchased using stolen cards) and resold is illegal. Buying keys from grey market is also incredibly risky.
>risk of steam ban due to TOS violation
>cd-key seller has the ability to revoke your game
>cd-key seller has the potential ability to claim your account as their own as its their key
>updates likely to break your game due to differing regional releases
>DLC (including pirated) will not work
>proof of purchase required in the form of a RETAIL cd key else no unban
>>336861540
ok sorry
>>336862274
Gaben pls
Do we have an EXACT time as to when the game will be coming out?
It's really annoying that the steam page doesn't have a countdown.
>>336859239
Emeperor of the Fading Suns tried that.
>>336862413
I must have missed the part where the FBI kicked in his door. TOS do not carry force of law.
>not playing as a democracy
>>336862625
>he wasn't caught therefore not illegal
>completely ignore evidence of steam bans which prove you wrong
TOS doesn't but you're registering an illegally-acquired key in the same way it's illegal to buy a stolen car.

Space jews are so fun. Shame you have to go a while without a gravity generator though.
>>336863176
Any tips for getting into MOO2?
