So I watched a gameplay video of this and it was extremely dull. I'm talking like it was watching someone play Sim City - same popup windows and info boxes all over. Is there actual combat or anything aside a nearly text-based game with a few pictures tossed in?

One of the better-known aspects of Paradox is that they have horrendous DRM. If you go to the /gsg/ thread and ask they'll link you to a crack that allows you to download and install any DLC for the popular steam versions of CK2, EU4, and HOI3.
So yes, they spam DLC, but only retards and fanboys pay for it.

So from what I gather, the paradox devs are fags?
Too bad, since I want to get this game. Never got EU4 or their other ones. Couldn't get interested due to how bland it seemed to just stare at a map that changes colors while you click through menus. But this games seems like a good mix of keeping the complexity while being more visually interesting and less fully menu-based.
I hope it'll be fun, as my only other hope on the horizon for a fun space 4X looks like Endless Space 2, and ES1 was just decent so my hopes aren't soaring too high.

The closest thing to that sort of game I've played is Endless space which I understood, but honestly I didn't have the time of my life playing. I'll have to play it and find out. Strategy games are always hit or miss for me.
I think I'm going to buy this game, I usually find grand strategy to hard to get into but this looks casual and just right.
I bought this game for 29 bucks and there is nothing you can do about it.

Endless Space is a very simplist, sterile game imo, even by space strategy standards.
There are similarities, but this will be more complex than what you are used to. The vurve in to the more difficult stuff should be pretty easy on you though.
There will be streams ands stuff, watch them before you decide.

>>336973075
The game seems pretty awesome from the streams, although the game will be patched and balanced into a completely different game over the coming years - not to mention the DLC which I'll probably buy when it goes on special.
My girlfriend and I are addicted to paradox games and have hundreds of hours in CKII. I've been hyped for this release since I first heard about it.
>>336967051
so with there be an option where robots you have enslaved eventually rebel or will that be an added thing?

Well thanks for the serious response. I have played more complex strat games, but that is the only space strat game I think I've played as there hasn't been one to peak my interest (To be honest, I haven't really looked into the genre)
I'll take your advice though and wait it out for a while.
>>336973393
>>336973559
It's okay to just admit that you are poor. Considering the amount of hours you'll most likely put into this game the costs justify the purchase.
We get it if you can't afford it, hey we were all either living with our parents, still in highschool or unemployed once upon a time too.
Trying to justify being a cheapskate is just tiresome and you aren't convincing anyone.

No, it's just that I am an adult and I budget my money so I won't make a purchase without knowing whether or not if it's worth making and thus far, I haven't seen enough evidence that this is a good or bad game. To make a purchase just because everyone else is doing it is just a sign of a shallow personality.
>>336973859
You don't have to buy them and they go on special, not to mention that in previous games the mods were superior to the DLC.
For Crusader Kings II there were entire other games that you could mod in, for instance: The Game of Thrones mod. The GOT mod added all of the GOT world with multiple start dates, dragons and a whole host of other stuff.
The DLC's also go on special and can be bought cheaply after enough time has passed. You come off as entitled, you seem to want everything for free. For those of us that can afford it, enjoy the game and want more content you should understand that people are allowed to like things that you don't like. It's part of being an adult.. It's time to grow up kid.

How is it the fault of Paradox that you don't have the finances to buy a game? I respect that you have decided to live within your means but part of being a responsible adult is recognizing that making excuses for doing shitty things is what an irresponsible child does.
>To make a purchase just because everyone else is doing it is just a sign of a shallow personality.
This really comes off as something that you feel like you need to tell yourself to make yourself feel better. I understand that not having enough money can make you forced to swallow your pride sometimes but if you consider that Paradox has a great track record making these types of games, tens of hours of streams have already been made and those that enjoy the genre who have had prerelease access have all said it was amazing your excuse falls flat on it's face.
Part of being an adult is not lying to yourself and to others.

After this game and EU4's CoP expansion(randomized New World), the only direction Paradox can go is a Civ-like 4X/GS crossover. I ejaculate just thinking about it.

For simple things I agree with you, like patches or macro configs or whatever.
However, there are entire different games made within Paradox games. Look at the Crusader Kings Game of Thrones mod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSgt_ZSl_Mk
When people talk about modders getting paid we are specifically mentioning content like Counter strike or Team Fortress, which started out as mods.
For me, I like the idea that if someone wants to get a game and use it to make an entirely different game that you could sink hours and hours into enjoying they should be able to afford to do it.
I don't like the steam integration but I like the idea of Paradox paying the modders and then releasing it as DLC.
The GOT mod is the prime example, although I understand that paying for it would bring up copywrite issues with George RR Martin.

If this is talk about setting the record straight then why not be more concerned about yourself as an individual rather than some anonymous users choices?
I mean yeah piracy is shitty, but if someone decides that they would like to test the waters on a brand new game and explore it themselves then I see no issue in that. I used to rent games as a child from blockbuster to find out if it's a worthy purchase and this is the modern day equivalent to that. It's a life style choice that stems from living in a poor family who implored lessons on what not to do in life and in regards of entertainment, I'd rather save my money and eventually spend it on something I prefer or hell, maybe I will buy this game if there's a level of enjoyment there.
>>336975709
I have to make a new account wherever I go due to how easy it is to get banned. Being on 4chan for all of my adult like from 2006 - 2016 has essentially made it impossible for me to fit in with the circlejerk on sites like reddit or even steam discussions.
I feel like if you dislike what someone is saying you should be able to abuse them for it, that's what makes the internet great.
It doesn't surprise me that the paradox forum has nazi moderation, if you go anywhere that isn't 4chan you'll get banned for the stupidest things.
>>336975549
My citation is playing grand strategy games and watching gameplay of Stellaris.
>>336975575
It's a grand strategy game, the same type of game that Paradox has always made. You never hear people calling EU4 a 4x game, even though it's a very similar game to Stellaris. The only typical 4x features in Stellaris is that it's set in space and has a randomized start.

Except that when you were renting a PAID copy of the movie and the movie was already OLD enough that the company who made it had already had a return.
Justify it however you want my friend, you know that you can buy the game for $16 USD from Nuvem? I don't expect people to pay for the FULL Jew-mode engaged preorder bonus but I expect that they at least kick a bit of money to the people who made it.
>>336976057

CP wasn't always frowned upon, for instance in the Victorian era if you were wealthy enough you could buy a young girl to fuck.
Also in Greco-Roman times fucking little boy slaves was something that you could do with little resistance.

That is the overall goal of the game though, you can just achieve it in different ways. You had the chance to elaborate on your opinion and explain why you were being autistic but you blew it.

Whether or not you feel "bad" about it is up to you. Don't try to take some moral high ground and argue your case for pirating.

It literally isn't stealing though. Most courts don't consider it stealing.
>>336976078
Shit dude, you know how happy I would be if there was an option in the modern day to give like $6 to "rent" a much higher priced game? It just doesn't exist at the moment and until then there's going to be a multitude of games that I'll play for maybe an hour to make sure it runs well, is enjoyable, and doesn't have game breaking glitches. I can otherwise use steam refunds, but let's be honest and admit that it's just a more complicated version of trying pirated copies at that rate seeing as you have to wait 2 weeks to get your money back.
>>336976420
I respect that you just own up to it, there is nothing worse than someone trying to justify bad behavior.
I mean I can understand stealing medicine to save a dying relative if you can't afford it but this is completely different.

I've already told you that you can buy the game outright for sixteen bucks. The game isn't even out yet and you want to 'rent' it like you would a movie that came out six months ago. You're being cheap.

We don't need to rename anything. A 4x is something like Civilization; it's usually turn based (though there are exceptions like Sins of a Solar Empire), and the focus is to wipe all the other factions off the map without having to worry about things like war justification, infamy, or rebellions. Grand strategy games are more about politics and the internal aspects of your empire.

Does this game crash as much as Civ 5?

Not a publicly available one
I don't think so
>>336974517
You realize the Xs stand for something....
I'm unsure about what I'm going to do with my firs t playthrough, I kind of want to do fast breeders who allow migration access and migrate to other empires so that they can take them over. I really like the industrious trait.
Fighting in the game looks really cool and while border expansion is important at the start, vassalizing inferior empires and then integrating them can net you a significant amount of border very fast :/
>>336977263
Yeah but 4x means a specific type of game which Stellaris isn't.
Is there such a thing as flying spiders?
>>336977361
If this is all you're going to bring to the discussion can you please just fuck off. Nobody cares.
WAHH IT'S LABELLED AS THE WRONG GENRE.
literally who gives a shit?
>>336977435
Paradox didn't even make that you donk nugget
I like the uplifting mechanics, you can infiltrate primitive species governments and elevate them to the space age into your empire or you can technologically uplift them into a vassal. It's cool if you find a species that have 100% habitability on planets that you only have 20% or habitability for - it means that you can build up vertically much easier when the mad rush for land has ended.
>>336976420
So you pirating while knowing that it's immoral to do is somehow better than defending pirating because...?
>>336977361
No, 4x means what everyone has said before. Just because games like Civ are 4x games doesn't mean you have to be turn based or play like Civ to be a 4x game. It's the JRPG/WRPG clusterfuck all over again.
>>336977475

It's being honest with yourself. If you're that mentally fragile that you can't justify to yourself why you do the things that you do then you won't go far in life.
Understand the real motivations for why you do things instead of being mentally a child.
>>336977450
The original point was that there's a lot of people buying Stellaris thinking it's something it isn't. Most people won't want to deal with the complexity of a grand strategy game.
>>336977745
From what I've seen it seems a lot more accessible than a lot of older GSG though. I doubt it would be too hard for your average 4X player to learn.

>>336975965
The game has never been presented as a pure 4x game. The developers have point blank said they wanted to combine 4x with GSG to create a new experience.
You could say it could be a genre all its own. Though tbqh it seems to be very much in the mold of Civilization.
>>336977726
So being honest with yourself that you're doing something that you shouldn't makes you a better person somehow. Well that kind of thinking is pretty fucked if you ask me and you should be proud of what you do.

This would be an adequate response if this board was /pol/ and the poster you responded to had said "It's 2016, trans people should be able to use whatever bathroom they want" but it isn't and they didn't.

What he's saying is that IN THIS DAY AND AGE you have access to a tremendous amount of resources to see almost exactly what a game is like before you buy it. IN PREVIOUS YEARS you would not have been able to do this.
So yeah the fact that it's 2016 (or really anytime after the common adoption of the internet) actually does have bearing on this conversation. It's 2016, there is unparalleled access to information currently.

If he had said, "Its good to watch streams before buying a game", this would be a good argument.

"it's current year" isn't an arguement, it's a phrase for "it's the modern day" and it carries implications based on context. But memes attempt to be reductionist and somehow manage to make people dissassociate context from things. I guess if you keep yelling something enough retards will start to believe you.
>>336967574
Most of that is skins, music or portraits. Theres only like 6 expansions and most are shit. Its the same thing with EU4. Most of the good shit comes in free patches, with most of the actual content being quality of life stuff. Which is acutally really fucking annoying.
One example is the Art of War expansion for EUIV. You need the entire DLC to make premade army templates. This can make it a hassle when you want to just go to unit cap.
Most of the DLC is decent, but the recent CK2 DLC is garbage tier 'rehashing EU4 systems in CK2 for no real reason' shit. The DLC that acutally adds good stuff are usually slightly overpriced as well.

>>336981202
Well okay, obviously it's possible. What I mean, is it easy and convenient?
>>336981093
Depends on how much you want to play it, I have a huge backlog and I fire it up and really enjoy it in between big releases. I have been playing Tales of Symphonia before Stellaris but before that I played Knights of Pen and Paper, before the I got Enter the Gungeon (sunk 35 hours into it) and before that I played Orcs must Die 1 & 2 which had been in my steam library since 2013 unplayed.
>>336980456
I would argue its not really relative to the two. It does use the Victoria II Micromangement nerf with the sector system, but its much less complex then in Victoria. Which means it will probably work better.
Graphically, the game is way beyond those two. EU IV and Victoria were both primarily animated board games with lots of different pieces. This one is far more interactive. Its layout and combat is much more like Civilization then it is EU IV, though far far more complex in the variety of weapons and strategies that can be employed.
Relative to Civilization V and EU IV, I would say it trends closer to Civ V in its combat and economic mechanics. And is more like EU IV in its diplomacy and society mechanics.

I'll probably get it anyway.
>>336981340
>closer to Civ V in its combat and economic mechanics
I don't think this holds true, at least for combat. Haven't seen much of the economy in the game.
Some people seem to think this game will be fucking ultra hard to figure out, nearing EU4/CK2 tiers of difficulty, it isn't. If you watch some of the lets play videos out there, the over all gameplay is much more simplified to get it into. Hell even managing shit looks 10x more easier than CK2/EU4. Plus the cleaner UI looks much better to grasp.
Some people are incandescently mad i swear.

>>336981671
Excellent. Does species customisation actually change anything - i.e. do you get different art, events, and flavour text? Or is it literally just two words on an unimportant menu?
>>336981474
Economy is classic Civ V. Different tiles (Planets) are good for certain things. Build relevant infrastructure on said tile to gain benefits. While you "can" build a mine on flat land next to a river, why would you? Build a farm on that tile and put your mine in the mountains. Same thing in Stellaris.
Comabt is "like" Civ V's, but far far more complex. Its got the standard Civ V Rock, Paper, Scissors mechanic, but then adds in EU IV combat mechanics for good leadership of the forces, Hearts of Iron mechanics for add on items to units, and so on to the RNG rolls. So instead of simple Spears Beat Cavalry, your Cavalry could be equipped with anti-spear armor and lead by a General who hates spear wielding people with a fiery passion.

Right, I get that in a lot of cases publishers push products out of the door for misguided business reasons and fuck over developers. BUT in this case I think they could have given Kerberos another year, burned through a ton of money, and still shipped something totally fucked up. I love SOTS1, but it wasn't a classic until, what, Murder of Crows maybe? And I wish more devs dreamed as big as Kerberos, but they've always had serious problems executing those visions.

EU4/CK2 are the easiest gsg games by far and at no point (unless you're just starting to play grand strat) should you be be overloaded with info. Unless you're just a dipshit who plays on 5 speed all the time and clicks through all the events.

>not liking based gramps.
Can someone explain to me how the trait Charismatic works? Only alien pops will benefit from it and the more local pops then the happier aliens get?
So if understand it right, the trait wont do shit till I have aliens on a planet and they are happiest when there is like 1:19 alien to local ratio.
So other than being in space and having aliens, whats the big sell on this game vs say Civ5?
The hype intrigues me but I dont want to watch an hour of streams to understand why.
Stellaris rules! I can't wait for Stellaris! Stellaris is the best! Nothing will persuade me to unlove it! It's kind, beautiful and loyal! Even when I fall into the pits of despair I know that it'll always be there for me to help make my future! I love Stellaris!

Yes, actually.
The Ethoses you choose (Militarist, Spiritualist, Xenophobic, etc etc) will effect government types, events, event text on certain events, ethos-specific technology, diplomacy, and available policies and edicts.
Like say, a Pacifist or Xenophobic empire couldn't order full orbital bombardments to wipe out enemy populations, for instance.
The biological traits will effect less, but will do stuff with some events. Oh, and Xenophobic races will hate you less if you're the same "kind" of race, like Mammalian, Fungoid, Avian, etc etc.

Oh. Sort of?
There are a number of portraits you can select to be your race, and each of those has variations that can and will emerge (to put it in Human terms, there'll be Male and Female versions, as well as various different color variations).
And yes, a bunch of the Mammalian portraits are pretty Furfaggy. And if that's not enough, Paradox games are famous for mod support and infamous for cosmetic DLC.
>>336985194
I don't even know what metascore is.
>>336985423
Excellent.
I might buy this game after all.
>new radiohead album
>Stellaris
I will marry these two and play for weeks.
>>336985485
I look forward to enslaving and purging your species.
>>336985641
>radiohead
get a load of this faggot
>>336985485
I will genocide all fur fags I meet in the game for god fucking sure.
>>336985959
>>336986110
Does this game do the Spore thing where user-created species are shared across games? Because that would be cool.
>>336967734
You could just short the stock instead.
>>336986196
Not sure about that, but I heard someone say that the races you played in previous games can become ancient races or remnants in future games.
>>336986196
No, it clearly doesn't.
Now fuck off.
>>336967051
How long till we get a working torrent? Will this be a day 1 pirate?
>>336986353
ITS A GOOD GAME YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY BUY IT AS IT WILL BE CONTINUALLY DEVELOPED AND UPDATED AND IMPROVED.
>>336986353
33 Minuted after release is my estimate.
The Torrent is up already
https://torrentz.eu/efbb79853ce8e114bd327f23e4f8dffb8edf35a0
It's like 8am in Sweden right now, right? when are they gonna press the big red button
Something about this game just doesn't sit well with me.
>no preload
I wont stand for this

Not for another 11 hours.

Deleted post since I found my answer.
Fungii as intelligent species is stupid.
Also, spotted the flustered "always plays human" pleb.
Fugggg I don't know what to go for as an Empire, there's so much choice.
I think I may go with an Empire of Man for the first run, with heavy militarism/enslaving/despotic empire.
>>336986520
Kill yourself.
These types of games are on my Day 1 Pirate backlog =)
>>336987316
>Also, spotted the flustered "always plays human" pleb.
HAHAHA! You fool.
I never play Human by given choice. HAHAHA!
But what do you know? You're just a naive fool.
HAHAHAHA!!!
>>336987480
>I never play Human given the choice.
Fixed that for you. No need to thank me nigger, you should get an education instead and stop writing in Ebonics.
>>336987230

>>336973009
HAI actually preordered it.It really does feel bad, man.
Just bought the Nova edition
did I fuck up
>>336987751
Don't get me wrong, i'm a furry(straight) myself but holy fuck when i see forced furfag shit im like "WHY, WHAT COMPELS YOU TO GAY EVERYTHING? DO YOU NEED TO PROVE HOW BIG YOUR RAGING MANBONER IS?!"
>>336987808
>I've never played human given the choice.
Learn punctuation. You're an idiot. And my correction of your butchered sentence was just fine. "I never play Human given the choice." is a perfectly fine sentence. Human can be written in capital when it's put in perspective with other races in sci fi. However it rarely is written that way.
>>336986629
10,5 hours.
Because fuck eurofags I guess.
>>336988140
Here we go
>>336988140
>manboner
>not dogboner
Oh you.
I agree that I don't necessarily like incredibly forced furfag shit, but I do like playing games with furry shit in them. I always go for the beast races and etc.
Anyway,source on that pic?
>>336987751
I've completely misread what you said holy fuck forgive me OP.
I imagine they will but im worried alot of the mods coming out will just be heavily... towards the FFag department or some really bad cheesy shit.

>>336967051
what the fuck is stellaris
>>336967051
top sellers on steam isn't listed by sales. it's a combination of sales + hype + recent release etc
it's quite easy for indie games that have a few thousands of sales to be up there, it happens frequently
>>336988841
Welcome to the internet - a magical place where all the world's information is just a search engine query away!
buy stellaris
>>336988859
SHOW ME PROOF ANON!!
>>336988841
Sci-fi Space Grand Strategy game.
You're welcome.
>>336988859
It's recent sales. An indie game with thousands of sales in the last 6 hours can make it there instead of a popular game that was released months ago.
>>336988142
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Such poor excuses of a foolish mind.
HAHAHAHA!!!!
All this naivity gathering in fool like you.
HAHAHAHA!!!!
Truly glorious.
>>336988859
Actually last I heard it was based purely on profits from the game.
If RPG Maker Game 13 sells for $1 and goes through 1,000,000 copies in some arbitrary time period while Final Fantasy XXVII sells for $60 and goes through just 20,000 copies in that same time period, Final Fantasy XXVII would be higher up. So when you see those Early Access / Indie games at the number one spot, know that they're making absolute bank.
>>336986937
fuck it, time for a LoGH marathon
>>336989259

Good luck with that.
>>336989096
>Such poor excuses coming from a foolish mind.
>All this naivety gathering in a fool like you.
Fixed your nonsense again. You left for a google break so you could learn basic English and yet you fail at it again. You're quite dumb.
You can't teach a nigger to be civilized.
>>336988804
It might be a fake dog and fake Rickon, who knows how loyal Umber is?
>>336988686

>>336989195
>Actually last I heard it was based purely on profits from the game.
You mean revenue. Profit is after expenses are taken into account, and Steam doesn't know how much a gamedev pays its employees
>>336989484
Right.

I have a semi-relevant pic for you, straight from my personal collection. It's a fox, not a dingo, sadly.You must be an Australian.
>>336989484
I've never watched the show but, let me guess, is that Danger 5?
>>336989325
well just until the release of stellaris
I am sick at home anyways, so might as well watch LoGH non-stop.
Can probably make it to the conclusion of the whole lippstadt alliance thing.
>It's a 'furries take over the thread' episode
I'm out boys
>>336989376
You must be pretty smart gatting baited by troll that hard.
>>336989724
Bless you anon, that's beautiful.
I'm australian tho that is correct, about to move to canada in a few months hopefully once i complete my uni course and get a job overseas (animation/games is pretty much a dead history here unless you are a veteran dev with the means).

Can you faggots go to tumblr to jack each other off, please?
This is a fucking Stellaris thread, meanwhile you guys are talking about your own personal lives and which furry creature you love to fuck at night.
Fucking kill yourselves you inbred retards.
>>336989904
>he was only pretending to be retarded
Pretending to be stupid makes you retarded as well. So it's either you legitimately dumb or you're acting dumb. Either way, you're nigger level.
>>336989925
Best of luck, then. Take this pic as a souvenir, and try not to get raped by sandniggers and mudshit refugees in Cuckada.
send me a key ;)
>>336990045
>So it's either you're...
Fixed.
>>336989728
Yes, near the end of season 2.
Worth giving a shot but season 1>season 2
>>336990039
social side conversation my dude, someone asked and i responded, no need to get snappy god :V
Stellaris is gunna be great tho, unless you are australian and have to wait until 2am in the morning
>>336990039
Then discuss Stellaris.
I want to post on-topic, but all you faggots are talking about is how much you hate people posting off-topic and how Stellaris isn't /gsg/ approved.
Don't make me dump furry fat fetish comics.

>This is a fucking Stellaris thread
There's nothing to discuss. The game unlocks in half a day, there's an empire gen planner and a Giantbomb video.
"Discussion" of a game before it comes out is analogous to shilling.not that I'm defending furries, but seriously. discussing a game that isn't out is difficult
>>336989376
HAHAHA!!!
How naive of you thinking a fool could comprehend my words.
HAHAHAHA!!!!
All this naivity, glorious. HAHAHA!
9 hours until release
>>336990394
Hide the thread if you don't like it.
Like don't open the thread.
Faggot...
>>336990472
>Damage control: The post
The thread is going to die and you're too slow to get the last say.
>>336990514
1. that fucking sucks
and 2. I wish they would a least let me pre-install it
Go to bed. When you wake up you can play!
>>336990545
Where did I say I don't like Stellaris?
No wonder you're butthurt, you're either illiterate or malevolent to the point that the world around you is nothing but strawmen.
>>336990545
Not him but you're a retard.
>>336989070
>>336989195
i think the truth is probably somewhere between all these. valve employees just manually set which game is the #1 top seller probably, based on which one they think is most important to be top seller.
it certainly isn't based on outright sales, when games like life is strange have been #1 and they get outsold on the daily by skyrim
>>336990551
If you haven't switched to damage control mode yet either you're both retarded.
Though I question why you're even responding to him.
Let's move here, I guess
>>336990757
>>336990757
>>336990692
I'm a bully. There is no need to damage control when you like seeing that slight inconsistency in people's post, which is indicative of their rising stress level.
>>336975060
That was in response to the Skyrim paid mods shit show. It meant that modders will not be able to use the system unless Paradox gets a cut.
>>336990689
Maybe. It doesn't really matter anyway since it's not like games like Skyrim need more attention.
I don't even get to install this game before I go to work. Dammit swedes
