This is Wiz, he made Stellaris. Say something nice about him.

Go and fix the game Wiz.

He's a very good at keeping his politics separate from his work.

KYS, Wiz.

which g2g thread

He did very good job replicating his third world dystopia shithole in his game.

He's very Swedish.

I bet you hate women and Mexicans.

How did you know?

Because I do too.

We National Socialist /civ4xg/ now?

We stand on the wrong side of history. It is your goal to right it.

I really appreciate them still releasing updates long after it's basically fucking dead. but the problems are more fundamental than a quick patch can fix.

>Papers, Please
>it's actually about papers and being polite

Please tell us more about the problems other than the $60 dollar "expansion" that is just an entirely separate game

>mfw I bought it full price
Just thinking about it physically hurts. It's a mix between pain, embarassment at getting so easily scammed, shame, and a burning desire to forget it already.

>disorientation
6dof camera is very disorienting. just spin around the planet once and everything will be upside down. you can enable a "pole locked" mode but it makes it really difficult to play if your/the enemy base is on a pole. zooming out to the system level will give you a completely random orientation based on where on the planet you are and where in the orbit it is.

>lack of information
they tout "strategic zoom" but if you zoom all the way out you can't see anything. just bare planets with no indication of where bases, units or anything is.
on the planets themselves you can only see one half of a planet at a time. all together it makes it very difficult to figure out what the fuck is going on. the unit icons being a huge unreadable mess doesn't help.

>invasion options being shit
you can't really effectively attack an entrenched planet in any way short of destroying it. and meanwhile the resources given by a whole planet is several thousands of metal per second so either way it's a no-win scenario. the orbital titan in titans makes it somewhat better but in vanilla you usually get deadlocked flinging nukes and spamming antinukes. if an AI controls a planet expect lag because it can't figure out to stop building units it can't attack with.

>lack of smaller impacts
in the early versions you could use smaller sized planets to destroy only a part of a bigger planet. grazing impacts between two planets in orbit could also eat only chunks. they ran into some bugs with that and cut it completely. in the same update they added infinitely respawning 1-halley asteroid belts which can now completely destroy any planet. going for anything else is a waste of time. by far the cheapest planet killer and not balanced at all.

the whole design of the game was supposed to be shrinking the play area with impacts eating chunks out of planets but it doesn't exist in the final version

I don't really care to go on much longer but the whole space gameplay is just fucked.

any orbital unit that isn't nailed down can go interplanetary, even a simple radar satellite that otherwise moves at snails pace can invoke the power of satan and be flung to another planet at high speed. none of the big multi-stage rockets they showed in the kickstarter

digging through the files there's remanants of an interplanetary and "grav well" variants of nuclear missiles. implying a bigger more expensive missile for shooting across the stars. cut completely. the "nuclear flyby" by building small nukes on an asteroid and parking it in orbit they talked about isn't possible either.

and overall the balance is just extremely shit. needs a complete rebalance.

>lack of informations
Yeah, it also lacks numbers as well.
And due to how brutal the game is, you can lose 20 engineers to a single plane because the UI doesn't warn you.

And I hope it's been fixed, but when I played, ground units were absolutely useless because they tried to shoot other units directly, and nine times out of ten, they would shoot the gucking ground.

Is this the lowest Stellaris has ever been on sale?
bundlestars.com/en/game/stellaris

Get now or wait for the inevitable humble bundle?

As we're also the RTS and citybuilding helpline: what's the verdict on Planetary Annihilation: Titans and Tropico 5? Worth $5? If not then is it worth it if you add Styx?
bundlestars.com/en/bundle/nemesis-bundle-3

>no bio-engineered cyborgs
fucking paracucks

hey I backed it for alpha access to the tune of $90

I got it for 60€, if I remember right. Played it maybe five times. Fuck whoever thought that forcing online on a RTS was a good idea.
And also everything I said in .

Fucking waste.

Fuck Planetary Annihilation

offline is possible now. has been for a while. it was always something they promised it just wasn't in the early versions.

Really? Last time I played (way after the release), I got a message saying "woah hey dudeski, you better play online, or awful stuff may happen to you!"

More or less.

it runs better on a dedicated server (obviously) but if you have a decent cpu it's completely fine.

>hive mind
>they don't live in hives

>being against bioengineering

Don't you want perfect humans?

>he uses a non-arthropoid or fungoid hivemind

I'm already perfect

No you aren't nobody is.

>he is non, not part of Juffo Wup
>he cannot understand

So I was reading the OP a bit and:
>you also require three united empire players and for all of them to choose a different quest split on the second chapter
When is the split? When you pick your heir? How different do the three get from each other?

>they are posting /civ4xg/ horatio memes
spidercuck BTFO

also, amplitude has FINALLY released a digital artbook for endless legend
store.steampowered.com/app/718570/Endless_Legend__Digital_Artbook/

if you want to be spoiled, the split comes from the quest step either just after the heir choice or two steps after. it gives you the option to keep your empire as is, or transform it into sheredyn (all your imperials are now sheredyn, which give hissho manpower bonuses and have the collection bonus of cravers with a unique 50 collection) or mezari (all your imperial pops are now mezari, which are sophon reskins)

lmao @ ur life

civ 4 crack pls

Time to teach them about the sauce.

IT FUCKING HAPPENED AND GODDAMNED OP MISSED IT

S ARTBOOK!

games2gether.com/games2gether/blogs/565-the-endless-legend-artbook-is-available

Let me guess, that comes right after the quest that requires you to have 4 laws active at once, huh?

>Endless artbook
>has an ending

How is Block'hood? I kinda like the graphism, but after playing the 8-Bits Army games, I'm worried it may be too shallow to really have fun.

i beat you to it user still pretty hype about it though, lots of nice art in EL
no the 4 laws one is after the split
if you chose the industrial option named imperial for the split choice nothing changes; i usually go imperial anyways, because the extra influence from pops is really good for getting multiple strong laws up

Shit I didn't even notice it was something so important. Shouldn't play after midnight, I guess.
Do the other factions also get something like that?

I liked it when I played it. It's very minimalist, but not exactly the most polished and streamlined experience.

nothing nearly as radical, no; the closest is probably the final quest step options for riftborn, which gives all your riftborn pops +4 dust, +4 industry, or +4 science
the empire split even changes zelevas' clothing and the imperial emblem; for example, zelevas' coat and breastplate become a beautiful bronze color when you embrace the sheredyn

Fucking finally, if there's one game that needs an artbook it's this one.

Is es2 actually worth it?

yes

Mmm. I'll pass then. Thanks.

No

If you love space and enjoy 4x, it's totally worth it.

Just torrent it, like usual. It's kind of like one of those city building games in the vein of Caesar and Pharaoh, except in a very tight box with multiple levels.

>It's a lore book too
BASED AS FUCK

I kinda liked these. You can make cute cities.

I thought Dawn was coming out tomorrow, now it's saying 3 days from now, wtf.
Speaking of wtf, have this.
