Look at the comments. Paradox fags BTFO and salty as fuck.
I too am salty as a fuck.
I might get it if you can torrent the DLC like with their other games. Otherwise it's probably a pirate.
I'm more than happy to pay for the base game, not the millions of song packs that should at least be fucking included in the god damn weekly fucking expansions of content that should have been in the game from the start.

>That salt
>>337017814
I don't think that's a fair review at all desu OP. The dude bitched more so about how he wasn't attacked by the AI but then was attacked by the AI and never really fixed his point.
The dude missed a lot of mentions about how the game is played out. Paradox games are generally solid 90% of the time. It's kind of like endless legend where the base game is a bit meh but the ultimate expansion based game will have loads more to it. Just give it time OP, development takes time :V
Pfhahahahahahaha
>>337018048
>Why do people do this?
This is the only semi-negative review out for now while the others are 8+, so of course it's the only one getting attention.

So, Stellaris confirmed GOTY then?

>He thinks weebshit is played by anyone other than autistic manchildren
>>337018204
It's bad because there's a lot of holes in the review compared to the rest. He complains about alot of facts like bad diplomacy yet if you go watch the live stream that's going on right now there is a fuck load of diplomacy going on and each race has unique diplomatic modifiers to them.
IGN reviews are always flawed, no matter how you look at them, this one is just one of the worse out there.
>>337017814
>IGN
implying any one of those fucktards have sufficient amount of autism to actually get past mid game
>>337018217
Thanks anon, I can just pirate the Uncharted experience on Youtube though.
MAXIMUM SALT
>>337017814
>that level of salt and butthurt at the reviewer
I actually feel a bit sorry for game journalists. I can kind of understand why they normally just give everything an 8/9 and call it a day
>>337018217
There is more than one game on the Bloodborne Machine®?
Save your wallets for DOOM®
>>337018321
DELETE THIS
Stellaris won't be good until its third or fourth expansion. It is how Paradox has always worked.
When does it unlock today?
Parakikes deserve this
>>337018384
go to bed OP
Isnt this the dev and publisher that has literally $100s of dollars worth of DLC for their games
>>337018402
Reminder
Regardless of how you feel about Stellaris, these comments are pretty fucking amusing to read
People can never let reviewers disagree with them, it's always been like this and it will never stop being funny
>>337018407
There's also disgaea 4 but fuck am I buying a ps4 for one great turn based game
>>337018516
Yes. The majority is cosmetic dlc, but they also have gameplay centric dlc.
>>337018101
He isn't wrong. This review might be right but Gone Home doesn't deserve the trash score it got.
>>337017814
>>337018526
undertale was good tho
>>337018305
Amazing how the shitposters keep proving my point, they CAN'T read for their lives.
>>337018636
i love shitposting.
The saltyness is fucking incredible.
>ign
>>337018516
think this is bad? you should look up train simulator's dlc
I feel like making a GS game based on history/reality makes it easier to come up with enjoyable mechanics, scenarios, etc.
So I was already expecting Stellaris to be mediocre. But I'll see for myself when it releases.
IGN also gave EUIV higher scores than EUIII, CK2 and HOI3, and didn't even bother reviewing Victoria 2. It's kinda clear they don't like the good ones.
Granted it's probably gonna be underwhelming shit since Paradox has really started to go downhill lately.

>>337018769
With historical games you have to put up with historical railroading as well as SJWs breathing down your neck at every turn. Why do you think Stellaris is the first game to get proper slave and genocide mechanics?
>>337018834
If the EU4 review was after they nerfed blobbing and added more shit for you to manage it wouldn't be so bad, but I just know you are talking about a review for the vanilla game.
>>337018909
>B-but they'll patch it!
>>337018454
>Stellaris won't be good until its third or fourth expansion. It is how Paradox has always worked.
Literally the only game that was terrible at launch was HoI3, and that's because it was plagued with memory leaks and horrible bugs.
In fact I'd rather play vanilla CK2 and EU4 than the clusterfuck that some of it is now.
>A game that requires intelligence
>IGN just scored it low because literally everyone who works there is dumb!!!!
It's pretty ignorant and childish lol
>>337018909
Gotta save shit for DLC. This is Paradox, after all.
>>337018581
It's not a review. This is as if someone reviewed a French restaurant and wrote "granted, I didn't actually try the food because snails are gross, but I'd rather eat pizza 2/10".
The criticisms sound completely believable to me knowing Paradox. The guy that made the review is a big Paradox fan if you go google his name and see him playing and talking about EU
I'm sure this game will be worth it when Paradox makes three expansions for it.
>>337018909
To be fair (not that you aren't a shitposter) aside from Map-Modes and Trade most of that stuff aren't in previous Paradox titles either.
Preorder canceled just in time.
Thanks based IGN.
>>337019125
>Pre-ordering a videogame sold by Gaben the fatfuck
nah
>>337018769
That is partly the big reason why I like them so much. There's just something extra special and enjoyable about say, conquering Japan as Korea or seeing the US become a communist dictatorship, restoring the Roman or Byzantine empires in a time when they were gone, or even just following history and liberating Iberia from the Muslims. Games like CIV and even Total War don't really come close to that.
Granted I would just like more real time GS/4x games period. I've been spoiled by them and now the turn based games all feel a bit boring in comparison.
>>337018909
Name at least 20 games that do have those elements.
>>337019012
>In fact I'd rather play vanilla CK2 and EU4 than the clusterfuck that some of it is now.
Yeah, because Paradox only made those three games in their existence. CK2 and EU4 were the first games that weren't horrible buggy messes at launch like pretty much EVERY other Paradox-made game. I guess they realized they had QA at some point.
>>337019118
>The guy that made the review is a big Paradox fan if you go google his name and see him playing and talking about EU
Oh, so this is a review by one of those /gsg/ elitists who want mods to ban for mentioning Stellaris?

Why are you so hostile.
Does the thrill of anonymously attacking strangers over the internet get your chode to tickle? Perhaps you should consider paying your overdue bar tab. Oh wait im going to guess you dont leave that crusty old basement you call your home. Perhaps if you took one moment, one day, nay, one passing second to think about your situation in life you would realize that in the end nothing is worth while and that the most you can do to positively impact this world and all other worlds in the known universe is to finally, FINALLY, itch that scratch in the back of your mind. The thought you dare not acknowledge lest you finally man up the cojones, balls for your impoverished foolhardy ass, to FINALLY take that power cord, sticky and grimy with caked on layers of doritos crumbs, sweat, and semen. A frothy, disgusting mixture of bodily waste that so accurately sums up who and what you and your lifestyle represent: Absolute scum. Not one more second should pass where you continue to contribute to the enthropic heat death of known reality. Take that power cable. Take that disgusting mound of semen, rubber, and disgusting food particles. Take it. Take all 8 feet of it from the very wall in which its plugged to the half dismantled box that you use to type this message to me. Take it, and finally, FINALLY, itch that scratch. Tie it as tight as you can around your neck, make sure that one end is securely fastened to the ceiling, and take that final plunge. That final step off your bent and mangled chair, the unfortunate piece of plastic used to carry your morbidly obese welfare person. Take that final step. Take that final step into the halls of darness and obscurity. Do it. Kill yourself. For the good of all mankind.

I love how Total War purists think there is some war between GS and Total War when the reality is people who play GS usually also play total war for more of a casual game with enjoyable combat or don't even care enough about Total War to even consider it some sort of rival.

Great point.
>>337019904
The more complex gameplay is for a game, the lower score it gets.
>>337019572
You can with all their other games.
Even if you can't you can just pirate the base game as well.
It's not like their games are playable in multiplayer anyways.

DanStapleton is a lying fuckstick. Nobody at IGN would ever put even 40 hours into a game they're reviewing, not to mention 80.
Why do they even bother reviewing games like this?
I would assume most of the target audience doesn't read general/casual gaming sites like this, and their writers have no knowledge or qualifications to properly review this type of game either.
>>337019887
its not a fucking 10/10
>>337020035
Pretty sure the guy who wrote this review knows how to play the game, as he's a fan of 4x games.
>>337019998

Its 100$ if you buy every dlc exactly when its released, if you just wait 6-10 months and you' ll get them at 60% discount.

Why are you here?
>>337019904
Because the reviewer is basing the score off what he actually thought of the game rather than off the ability to please the rapid cunts that have come onto the GSG scene since CK2. 6.3 is above average, the review also makes very good points, the score is completely justified.

>>337019782
But Total War is pretty much just as fucked as Paradox these days.
>>337019969
To be honest the 4X elements don't even come to play when I think about playing them because they are so basic. I play TW if I want some neat combat, I play Paradox GS if I want some neat grand strategy.
>>337019904
Because IGN does not employ people who actually play games, their reviews and scores are 100% paid for.

I don't think IGN would do that in this case. Stellaris isn't a popular enough game. I think in reality the reviewer was an idiot unfamiliar with GS/4X.
>>337020420
Yeah this is 100% confirmed right
Stellaris is only worth it for the mod potential
It will be worth getting a couple of years down the line when it gets a Star Trek mod, a Star Wars mod, a 40k mod, etc.

Lucky them. Meanwhile I can't even play in fucking LAN without getting sync errors.
PC gamer's review seems fair (70%)
And gives justified reasoning, the game sounds like it gets stale once the galaxy is colonized due to political shortcomings.
I reckon that they need a way to take over an empire by merging yours with an AI through a combination of species mixing and genetic engineering.
Then you could blob the whole galaxy as a pan-species federation
>>337020514
>nowadays
you must be new
>>337020516
exactly.
It's worth noting that they give higher, more reasonable scores to Nintendo and other companies with large fanbases that don't pay them off, because they don't want to alienate their userbase with a massive shitstorm because they gave a Zelda game a 60.
Meanwhile, at IGN italy

Christ what happened to Paradox

This is a reminder that Paradox will release 30 dollar DLC that adds essential features and functionality for the next 4 years.

Until they pack so much shit in there the game starts to become laggy as fuck and the mechanics start to become far to micromanagey to even be fun.
I had to disable the newest CK2 DLC because it just wasn't fun to play with it on.
It's like all the features they added were made to make the game less fun to play.

>>337021270
As in. "The game has to much micromanaging".
I urge everyone here to buy the game in 2 years time when they've added more stuff through the DLC we all know are coming. Hopefully it will be as piratable as EUIV and CKII.
>>337021241

I'm just saying. There comes a point, where every year after adding more and more little finicky things you have to keep track off, it starts to become a bit of a bloated mess and it keeps you from enjoying the overarching game since you are so focused on what you have to do in this second.
It's not bad to have a game be a bit simpler, otherwise what would be the point in playing it over something like HOI3 or Vicky 2? A nice bag of chips between meals.
got it from cdkeys
where is my god damn cd key, anyone else receive theirs?
>>337021497
Well, that's a fair criticism. But there needs to be different words for that and for simply having to manage several complex systems in a way that people who like complexity find interesting.

But I thought that was why Paradox fans criticized Stellaris in the first place.

Oy vey, it's EU4 all over again

And this is where you learn generalizing a group of people might not be such a great idea.

Nice copy pasta. Although having watched streams this does seem to be true

As soon as you get a key let me know.

Oh good, the one thing I was somewhat concerned about
WHERE IS IT!?!?!?!?!
>>337021860
But you can win just by owning enough territory. That can be achieved peacefully
>>337021817
There's complex gameplay and then there is adding shit like corruption that serves little to no purpose just to make it look like you added something apart from a few states with the new DLC
>>337021743
While I agree, different people have different tolerance levels for dickstabbing. The difference biggest difference between dickstabbing and multiple complex systems is whether or not you, the person playing the game, find those systems fun.

the game doesn't come out for an hour and a hlaf

I find the last point funny. No italian translation, yet it still gets 9.3.
Hell yeah, my day is saved. Time to check the tears on /gsg/

To be fair, European countries are used to English language in games
>>337021860
To be fair. These are pretty much the case with all their games.
>no control over combat once it starts (only retreat)
>with bigger galaxies the game performance is shit
>no deep internal politics
>generic chase enemy combat
And I don't remember any of them having particularly "peaceful victory conditions",
JUST LET ME PIRATE IT ALREADY

Well he's not wrong.
>>337022248
>AI doesn't react a lot
That depends what kind of aliens you encounter entirely. In the Blorg stream for example a few of them immediately made an alliance once the Blorg got a bit too threatening for their liking
>>337022314
It's not, it's coming out at 6pm uk time like every fucking steam game released

>>337022417
Grand Strategy has literally no victory. Only those that you set for yourself. On the other hand, there is game over (get fully annexed/get dynasty wiped out)
>>337022318
>Paradox are Swedish and yet they still doen't include a Swedish translationGranted nobody would play it in Swedish anyways so it would be pointless.

>>337022581Somalians would
>>337022568
Oh. I thought they meant peaceful victory conditions for wars.
Does the game actually have victory conditions? That would suck. I like that about the Paradox games.
>>337021860
Is there ever a victory condition? Usually it's just score at the end of time period.
>>337022568
HoI has victory conditions

HoI is not grand strategy. It's a war game

>>337022719
I think there's something about exploration but it doesn't say "you won", you keep playing
>>337017814
Why do people play games like this? I don't get it.
I work at a bank and these "4x Strategy" games look like glorified versions of what I do every single day for work, Excel.
It's crazy to me that people would willingly waste their free time playing something that barely even looks/plays like a video game. I get paid to do that in Excel.

It's way too shitty and simplistic to be a proper war game though.
>fun early game, turns into a dull grind mid game
That's exactly the sense that I got from watching the Let's Play that the devs did.
