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

I'm not going to tell you anything about this game, its not my responsibility to inform you faggot. Go do some research, if you like what you see then buy/pirate it, if not then don't fucking buy it faggot.
>>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.

>>336847053
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?
>>336848325
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

>>336849876

>>336849750
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
>waah my actions shouldn't cause reaction

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.

>>336860218
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.

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.

>>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?

>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

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

does your country have space night?

>>336861594
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.

TOS doesn't but you're registering an illegally-acquired key in the same way it's illegal to buy a stolen car.

Are you quoting someone? I didn't mention anything about anybody getting caught for something, simply that purchasing those keys is not a violation of criminal law (at least in the US).
>>336862895
>completely ignore evidence of steam bans which prove you wrong
You're assuming that the person in this image is telling the truth, of which we have no evidence. Furthermore, why does he keep babbling on about SR3? The support tech clearly stated that the issue was his bogus copy of Dead Island yet he keeps babbling on about it in what appears to me to be an attempt to just submit something in the hopes that the tech is retarded and un-suspends his account upon seeing a random CD key or that he is somehow making up for his fraud by buying a different game from the same publisher.
>>336863495
There is so many things to go over. I am not very good at the combat portion. When I do fight I have my fleet split up into different categories.
One set of ships will only be missile boats that are expendable.
Other set is ships with only boarding crew on them
Finally will be the heavy duty lasers and tough armor and shield boats.
I would start off with the easiest difficulty first because there is a lot of stuff you need to learn yourself. Each planet has three different types of production. Farming, production, and science.
Having tons of population on farming will make food, having most people in production will produce ships, buildings and earn money faster. Having more pops has scientists will increase your research speed which will unlock new tech quicker. That is the basics.
>>336863806
I went with the nova, the soundtrack is pretty good and the spider race looks neat. Galaxy edition isn't worth it at all.
>>336863806
Standard unless you have a real hard on for that bug avatar. You know you'll never touch that soundtrack.
>>336863806
Standard. I dislike the soundtrack and couldn't give a shit about the bonuses.
>>336862274
Kek.
For it to be illegal, you must know the goods were stolen. And 99 percent of those sites just buy games from regions like Russia where games are a fraction of the price and not region locked. Against the TOS and they may ban you, but not illegal.
Trash Collectors will dominate and clean the galaxy of its biological trash.

>>336864747
that's not how the law works
possessing cocaine is always illegal, possessing stolen goods is only illegal if you know that they're stolen
>>336864981
Not true. When you purchase something you have a personal responsibility to insure the providence of the item.
You can very much go to jail for buying a stolen car as an example.
>>336864572
Actually they would have to establish that you had a reasonable expectation that the goods you were buying were illegally obtained for it to be a criminal act (at least in most US jurisdictions).

What late games are there? I've heard about robot uprisings and the Tyranid coming. Anything else?
I love games that let me do heavy customizing and detailing minute details of my nations, once i´ve created an entire sci-fi setting based only on a Space Empires 4 play-through of mine, i hope Stellaris will be one of those.
>>336865353
They are keeping them close to the chest since they want many of them to be a surprise.
>>336865472

>>336865353
Robot Uprising

Tyranids

I like 4X games like Civ, but the Paradox grand strategies have been a bit too daunting for me. Is this game more akin to Civ or Crusader Kings?
>>336865610
it's grand strategy, but it's by far the mostaccessibleof the paradox strategy games.
>>336865663
Different anon, but where does it fall on a scale from Sins of a Solar Empire to The Last Federation?
>>336846259

pls not that meme
Is it coming out at midnight or Monday morning? I have shit internet so I wanted to download it at night so I can play Monday morning.
This will be my first race after I play through a human run to learn the game.
"The Foxon born to a world of harsh realities retreated to base psychological comforts. After a period of great unrest caused by the strongest of tribes praying upon its smaller weaker neighbors The Holy Union established itself as the sole dominant power. A scant 50 years later Foxon across the world started to receive broadcasts from space. Although completely unintelligible it sparked a great religious movement completely cementing the Union's place. After great study by the holy scholars the messages were broken. At first the people were shocked. What they all believed to be the word of god above were simple nothings from an alien species. The Union acted quickly and used the sudden uneasy to drive the people skyward. So what if the messages were not from god? They served their own purpose in showing the Foxon their place in the world. They would rise to the stars. They would meet these aliens that so greatly shaped their very existence. The Foxon lost a god but gained a new purpose and the purpose was to travel the stars them selves."

I'm hyped for this because I have an unquenchable boner for sci fi strategy games.
But I am on the fence about buying it because I've never been able to get into grand strategy games.
I have a 25% off from GOG that would make it 30 bucks, but damn.

Explain to me, I know some about the 40K universe but not this much lore
>>336868832
same here, what IS the gameplay? i'm hearing grand strategy, and 4x, but is it really just spreadsheets with colonization efforts or do you have any actual interactions?
>>336869002
Leave it to us to fuck your shit up. It's fun for everyone.
>>336869078
>>336868832
gameplay's been up on youtube for a while now, just watch those
So we're going to do massive /v/ matches right? ;^)
>>336868832
The early game is more typical 4x space exploration and expansion, the later game is more grand strategy, with lots of Federations forming to stop blobbers. It's basically EUIV in space with randomized Empires and territories rising up, so if you like that you'll probably like Stellaris.
>>336869019
> A detachment of Sisters killed by Grey Knights, their bodies sliced open and their blood applied to the Grey Knights' armor, so the Grey Knights can be immune to the Bloodtide's effects (though some of the Sisters were immune with faith alone, make of that what you will).

All mammalians are total furries.
>>336869154
i would but i don't like sifting through someone talking about subscribing to their youtube channel and random things to get 1 minute of gameplay through a 2 hour video
>>336869220
Are the Grey Knights still max level Mary Sue do-no-wrong pinnacle of space marine excellence tier bullshit or did that get retconned by a more competent writer?
>>336869019
Simply put the sisters of battle were immune to a daemons powers. Instead of you know just sending the sisters out to fight that daemon the knights straight up murdered the sisters and wore their blood as protection
>>336869345
probably the former but i'm not very well read on 40k stuff, especially if it has to do with the space marines.
>>336845950
Despot Empire, American Empire, controlled by Donald J. Trump IV (considering the game take 200 years after the current year)

>>336869019

>>336869750

>>336847717
>>336847520
I guess I can see it in the sense that it's basing it off of the whole fuck everyone else collectivist attitude but it doesn't really make sense if your population say, values life still, or wants to bring others into the fold not just exclude them for funskies.
Still, easy to dehumanize those not in your circle.
>>336869750

Do you have to fill out all the options, or can you go without a number of +/- perks for a more neutral empire?

>>336869926
t. johan
if paradox doesn't want to be hated, they should stop dlc jewing so hard
>>336869940
Well collectivists are fine with you enslaving your own species as well, everything for the greater good, free will isn't important. It's not necessarily exclusive, xenophobes are the ones that get bonuses only for enslaving aliens.
>>336870101
Negative aspects trigger me for some reason. Even in rpgs and shit I usually choose human because it's middle-of-the-road, no upsides or downsides. I don't know. Can we call it autism?
>>336870238
perks dont have negatives though
ethos/governments do
>>336861796
There is a cycle. Quality DLC that flushes out the game/probably should have been in the base game like muslims and pagans that eventually yields to extra horseshit for the sake of samifying the game with unnecessary shit that make it worse like councils and infamy.
>>336869926
I hate those jews and casualifiers, and I only started browsing /gsg/ a few months ago. Hated them already really.
>>336870238
It's not like the game forces you to pick negative traits, you can go with all positives.

They're amongst us
>>336873415
if you created a stellaris /v/ steamgroup /gsg/ would flip the fuck out
Why would they? They should be able to make their own.
>>336869750
tau
>>336873615
Well fuck it. I'll make my own.
As soon as I think of one .
>>336873956
ever since their steamgroup started raiding their own general they've become paranoid of steamgroups
just more personality drama which isn't uncommon for that general
>>336874084
And this is why sane people avoid /vg/ Completely. No matter how well it starts out, it always becomes shit.
>>336869750
I dunno maybe newcrons. Also they need to revise the HH so that the Big E doesn't look so incompetent.
>>336874383
I was /twg/ until TW:W was announced and the the general was taken over by fantasyposters
>>336874383
When you have a community for so long personalities form and drama starts. /gsg/ is even older than /vg/ hell it might be the oldest general there.
>>336866125

It was a good day today

Why is Aviation and Air Force different?
>>336851765
underrated.
>>336875251
aviation as in army/marine helicopters.
>>336875251
I think Aviation is the aircraft-division of the ground forces. The guys who do all the day-to-day and basic operational shit, like flying troops to the front or ferrying supplies. They're more connected with ground forces since they interact a lot more and share a lot of the same missions.
Air Force is fighter jets and strategic bombers, guys who often don't do much but sit around waiting for the one time that month that they get to fly around and maybe drop a bomb if they feel like it.
>>336875160
>implying Air Force doesn't have the most hardcore special forces
>>336851765
but isn't crushing slave revolts half the fun
>>336875869
aviation is people who fly stuff
air force is people with engineering degrees who don't actually fly stuff
>>336875160
Someone post the IG version I need to save it.
>>336872775
why would this phrase be banned?
mods trying to crack down on automated sex toy threads?
>>336877908
it was a long time ago, I can't even remember
>>336868832
Its a mash of early game 4X followed by grand strat
Which is honestly the coolest fucking idea ever and why the fuck dont we have more of that.
>>336878158
Right?
Now the only thing we need is a perfect fusion of CKII, Total War, and Mount and Blade
It will be the most perfect game ever made
>>336878158
how does it compare to say Master of Orion?
>>336879474
there is actual end game now
>>336849750
/gsg/ was only good when it was on /v/
>>336879559
This. It used to be so great. Even early vg wasn't bad. it really took a turn for the worst around when EUIV was coming out.
>>336879542
What's the end game?
>>336879790
Tyranids, Chaos or Reapers
>>336879918
You're forgetting Robots.
>>336869345
I'm almost certain it's been retconned. The dude that came up with it is a talentless hack.
>>336858051
Warhammer TW
>>336880295
Reapers
Also been confirmed is the reactivation of a Fallen Empire
So Rome 2.0: The Re-Romening
>>336879339
Anon please my dick can't handle it
N-Nerds...N-Nerds....
Y..Y.YEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!
>>336872926
I'd be interested. I'd like to play a big MP game, but only like two of my friends are buying Stellaris.Please don't make me play with Reddit or /vg/
>>336880540
I'll be playing with people from /vg/ but not from /gsg/ or anything
Just dudes that I met in an unrelated general
>>336869750
As a guy who's been into 40k since 3rd ed and with over 300 confirmed books read. I'd have to say...
>Newcrons C'tan
>Ultramarines having a hard on for Tau
>Ward Grey Knights, except Draigo
>Every single faction has a "We're fucked" option in the lore, which effectively hints at End Times should GW need to
>>336880952
>Every single faction has a "We're fucked" option in the lore, which effectively hints at End Times should GW need to
Even the Tyranids?
Seems to me they could never ever be fucked in the first place
>>336881212
If the Orks win on Octavius, it pretty much ends any hope of the nids winning.
>>336881212
>Tyranids were running from something EVEN SCARIER than them
>>336881291
It's effectively an eternal deadlock - If only Khorne still had a hardon for Orks
>>336881212
The Tyranids' final solution is just bringing the rest of the swarm into the main Warhammer galaxy.
>>336881352
>giant fusion of The Thing and necromorphs running away from something
What the fuck could possibly be that terrifying
>>336882068
Space Teletubbies.
>>336869750
Necrons and SM teaming up to fight tyranids.
Newcrons are okay, they gave us mustache twirling Lords and the Orrery.
>>336849135
Yet another americuck projecting his fetish :^)
>>336883441
You must be pretty tough replying to such an old post.
I better don't cross your way.
anybody got a spare key :)
>>336884164
This. I'm interested, but I'll be damned if I want to preorder a game I might not like.
>>336845950
CAN I PIRATE IT YET
>>336869592
>implying donald trump is not immortal
>>336884516
I preordered it.
I have nothing to do with my life anyway.
>>336880952
If I was looking to read some 40k which would be the best or necessary for a beginner?
>>336885591
i would start with the horus heresy
>>336885685
Great
thanks for the recommendations anon

>195 games
>Haven't played or played less than an hour for half of them

I'm not mad, I'm impressed. A fool and his money are quickly parted, but whenever I try to shill for a game someone shoots me down when they see my list.
>>336869002
You can enslave your own race.
If you get a human pop that's not white send them to the mines.
>>336880501
BAZINGA
So the game releases at May the 9th at 12am?
But which 12am?
The continental European one or the American one?
Why is there no timer on Steam?
>>336887058
Steam releases tend to be US Pacific.
>>336878158
Now it just needs Sins combat and it'll be GOAT
From what little I have seen of this game, this is what the final stage of Spore should have been.
>>336887442
I searched around.
It will be 6:00am of an American time.
But I also find statements saying 0000 CET.
Don't know what to believe.
>>336887650
In my experience with steam, just assume the worst.
>>336887798
7pm GMT+1 seems the most likely since this is when all paradox games release.
It's not the choice of Valve but of the publisher when the game gets unlocked.
>>336887650
>6:00am of an American time
West or east coast?
>>336887798
So release will be delayed by 3 days?
It's always around 18.00 german/euro time
>>336848325
It's not historically accurate at all
50,000,000 whites fought in this war
less than 300,000 blacks fought in the war
The main protagonist representing the game in all promotional material is a black man.
One of the most important wars in white european history is being represented by a nigger.
It doesn't make any fucking sense, and they admit as much saying they have an agenda to push and don't give a fuck about the reality of the war.
what time for ausfags?
>>336888013
You just retarded
Blacks were the only americans who saw more or less real war back then
You can't have not american main protag, because euro market is small garbage
So, the only option to not be historically accurate or have black protagonist
>>336858091
They're not limited, you can manually mix and match whatever ship, city and whatever else design you want during empire creation.
>AI factions can research game ending disasters
This is going to be super divisive. Its either going to be awesome as fuck as it forces you to coop with the rest of the galaxy to beat it, or fucking awful when your 200 hour game gets ruined by your 1 dumbfuck AI neighbour researching self aware AI/breaking space time/summoning infinite interdimensional aliens
Who playing victoria 2 now, while waiting for the stellaris release?
>want traits worth 3 point
>none of the negative traits fit in with the race I thought of
>>336884164
>>336884516
>>336884569
It's going to be pirateable almost the instant it gets released since Paradox' DRM is laughable anyway.
>>336869220
You forgot the best part: Grey knights are already immune to the bloodtide's effects.
>tfw 1% unhappiness for others don't sound too bad but the word repugnant just makes you not want to take it
>>336888357
They're supposed to be endgame scenarios. Considering the typical 4X endgame (which is almost always the worst, most boring part of the game) anything that can challenge you at that point would be a welcome addition.
>AI factions can research game ending disasters
Source? If this is true I am not buying it just because of this, in Civ 4 I always turned off other victory options besides conquest because it felt silly that a nation could win a game about war and politics through internal timers.
>>336869750
Abaddon failing literally every campaign yet somehow still being warmaster.
>>336888541
You can remove negative traits with genetic engineering later, just pick something that's not too much of a problem to deal with for a bit.
>>336887943
The French under Napolean actually invented the Continental European Time (CET, GMT+1).
So German is not accurate even they use it too.
Laughable, hahahah" How low educated.
>>336888156
He's not even american, he's wearing a british uniform
If this post ends in a number from 1-9 you have to give me the steam key to stellaris
>>336887943
>>336887928
Fuck this shit and I hopped I can play the whole night from 12am CET.
Fuck....
Now I will be able to play it only from Tuesday morning on....
Fucking night shift.
I'm so fucking angry I gonna beat up my 6 years old daughter with an Iron for the next 3 hours...

>>336888641
An AI faction IS a game ending disaster
>>336860746
>American / /pol/ education
bravo
>>336888641
They don't work like win conditions anyway, they're just crazy strong AI factions that spawn and slowly take over the galaxy unless you stop them.
Just gotta keep track of the other factions and murder them ASAP if you catch them researching something dangerous.
Is there a legit torrent download yet?
I want to give the game a try but I don't get paid until the end of the week and £35 is a bit much for me to chuck away on a whim.
>>336889113
Why do people watch that idiot in the thousands? He's not a good player and not a good narrator. I guess his use of muh hotkeys is somewhat impressive.
>>336889545
Wait until monday nigger
>>336889929
Same reason people watch DSP, I assume.
It's fun to watch someone be retarded.
>>336849750
>>336879559
>>336879713It was getting pretty shit well before /vg/ was created. You forgot what it was like when people stopped giving a shit about someone else's game and cared more about LOL REMOVE KEBAB and whatever the latest game to hate was.

>why can AI nations beat me
it's not beyond the realm of possibility that a galactic empire could undergo some sort of dangerous change that puts its neighbours at risk too.
Sweden
YES
>>336888596
That's 1% per pop. If for example you got 10 Repugnants on a planet, all the other species there get a -10% happiness penalty.
Doesn't really matter if you go for one species per planet empire, of course. But there's also a diplomatic penalty that's not listed in that description.
>>336890982
