>IGN
>Mid-game slog
What the fuck does this even mean? It's a grand strategy?
Does it mean the reviewer is a fucking retard, didn't do anything for a long time and then went HURRRR HUGE SLOG
What a fucking babby.
what is this non-overwatch or ds3 thread?
>its a stellaris shill thread
oh okay, proceed
>IGN
>IGN
I dont even give a shit about this game.
But you're a total fucking moron for thinking IGN is relevant.
Clearly a complete retard who knows shit about this genre or just games in general.
How can mid game be a slog if that's one of major parts of the game.
Stellaris has so much things going for it, I can't see this game being less than 8 atm. Probably 9 in few months with fixes and mods, and then like a 10 in few years with expansions and even more mods.
Anyone got a pastebin?

He admits in the review he didnt even play much of the mid game, he gave up
tldr; IGN are morons, this review is worthless
Never heard of it.
Get your shitty indie crap out of here.
sure you dont, thats why posted in this thread
>IGN doesn't give a shit about this game
nobody does

>Weak Diplomacy
Haha. Get fucked strategy fags.
>gaming 'journalists'

Im just laying down the truth mate
This. They don't know enough about games to review mario, let alone a grand strategy game.
I don't even like stellaris, but I do indeed hate IGN.
>IGN
>reviewing grand strategy/4x games
>reviewing anything
Yeaaaah certainly a review I'm gonna trust blindly here.
>2016
>still giving a fuck about "professional" reviews
How does it feel being unable to form an opinion of your own?
Same here, pal. I hope for a nice CODEX release.
Will probably buy it if it's good, but only console kids buy a game without trying it first.
His review basically just boiled down to being bored because there wasn't enough action.
>it's not CK2
Did you just go on IGN and find the first shit review for a PC game? I r8 your b8 8/80 for making me reply
>The problem is that alliances are built for war, and the diplomatic conception of war in Stellaris doesn’t work well at all. Essentially, the issue is that the goals you set before a war are too big: things like capturing or freeing an enemy colony or vassalizing an enemy empire. There are no options for something smaller-scale, like shifting a border star system into your sphere of influence in order to get that tundra planet for colonization. It all feels all-or-nothing. But resources are balanced by planet, so you don’t really need massive expansion except for its own sake. I found myself declaring war out of boredom rather than for any strategic benefit – never a good sign in any grand strategy game.
>HURRRRRR WHY CANT I JUST TAKE THIS PLACE WITHOUT A CASSUS BELLI
>I HAVE NEVER PLAYED GRAND STRATEGY THIS IS GAY
what a fucking retard.
>expecting mainstream reviewers to understand 4X or anything genre more complex than a linear FPS
I mean Christ I'm not even a 4X fan but it's quite obvious most reviewers aren't fans of the genre or even capable of comprehending the nuances of it without crying about how dense it is or how it's not simple enough
>wooooow I didn't even do anything mid game and nothing happened woooow
>the diplomacy is simple guyz, trust me I have a second degree in politics
I swear every single GSS or 4X game, there always someone who'll say the diplomacy is simple. I mean what do they expect really to make it not simple?
And that he didn't even understand basic concepts. He couldn't even get trade going because it was too complicated for him.
Something that is literally 'you give me X I give you Y' was too complicated for IGN.
MODS WILL FIX IT!!!

>t'll help me write articles that might be difficult to place elsewhere. Like most writers, I have dozens of good article ideas, but don't always have a place to pitch them. This will give me a chance to publish these, and continue making a living.

I don't have to read it to know it's lies because Paradox can do no wrong!
Gonna have to agree with the posts on this thread, OP.
The reviewer doesn't look like someone who even plays 4X, nevermind Grand Strategy
I am yet to download it though.
For me, Paradox's games are like The Sims series: buy the main game if you're into it to support the series but pirate all DLC to not support that shitty practice.
What an insufferable faggot.
I don't even know what game.
9/10 from Destructoid
4/5 on PCWorld
OP is a faggot.
Which is why the number itself is usually meaningless in the end. Review has to be read and reviewer taken into consideration.
>Rowan Kaiser
Constant v threads fueled my interest.
is it something like Alpha Centauri?
PCucks BTFO
Wasnt it IGN where some faggot reviewer got caught on his steam playing 20min of a game before he reviewed it, and was playing the games on easy mode too?
no
Its a 4X and grand strat game. So its more like CK2, but in space.
thanks, sold
>grand strategy or 4X review
>by a mainstream site
About as useful as me reviewing the latest Madden game. These people are not the target audience.
AYYY FUCKING LMAO
>played 80 hours
>gave up in midgame
PC Exclusives are shit, more news at 11
jesus christ
I would not doubt it
to be fair, every single reviewer gets a copy of the game and only a few of them review it
Look stupid.
Best part is, they gave this steaming pile of shit BEFORE Art of War a fucking nine out of ten.
Stellaris must be Beyond Earth levels of doo-doo.
Probably played in that big streamer/journo multilayer game and got eaten by northernlion.
Sup Forums flavor of the month gets a bad review on any review site
>baaaawwww who the fuck cares about that site they're irrelevant and dumb
Sup Forums hate of the month gets a bad score

This place holy shit

No but might as well be considering you all faggots act the same way.

People still buy these kinds of shitty games when we have GTA and Battlefields?

They're called steam review accounts, you get free access to every game on the marketplace
Crack when?
>Newfag's 1st week on Sup Forums
Where do you niggers keep coming from?
>I need someone else to tell me what to think
I actually can't believe people still read reviews when you can literally watch hours of gameplay before deciding to get it.
There's people that still care about reviews?
I wish reviewers would tell us their previous experience with similar games, does he like other 4X space games? I don't know, so I have no idea if this review is relevant or not. It doesn't seem hard for the website to just have a little blurb about the reviewer.
That totally sounds real and not something you just made up.
Only shitposters user.
Dön't listen to them, börkbörk you knöw önly the good gämes cöme fröm sweden, the land öf eurovisiön
No, there are just people who want to try to stir shit up.
How come when a PC game gets a shit review, you don't care, but when a Nintendo or a Sony game gets an 8/10 everyone goes apeshit?
Why the double standards?
Didn't Steam take those away? I thought I remember a bunch of journalists crying over losing their unlimited free games a few years ago.

IGN 6.3*
I want to make a note here about the IGN Review.... First and foremost the guy who reviewed this reviews strategy games... He does not give reviews of 4X games and that comes across very well if you read his review. You can tell he got really frustrated with a number of things for all the wrong reasons and even had the courage to state that Paradox/Stellaris has Weak Diplomacy..... It's also funny that moderator's in the chat keep saying he does know what he is talking about because he has reviewed Crusader Kings....... Which is not a 4x game.... So there is that.
TIME TO KILL THE PC FAGS!
*BANG BANG BANG*
TIME TO FUCK THE PC KEKS!
THEY'VE BEEN IN DENIAL TOO LONG
THEIR LOVE FOR INDIE GAMES IS TOO STRONG
WE NEED TO DRAG THOSE FAT FUCKS OUT INTO THE STREETS
AND CHOP THEIR FAT FUCKING MANTITS INTO MEAT
IT'S TIME TO KILL THE PC KEKS!
Nobody gives a shit about reviews. Just the score apparently.
>Beyond Earth
HEY, FUCK YOU.
I had almost forgotten that thing existed.
>release "expansion" for your game
>lol no, we just stole some guys mod and included it in
How fucking shit can they get with it.
>How come when a PC game gets a shit review, you don't care, but when a Nintendo or a Sony game gets an 8/10 everyone goes apeshit?
You must be mistaking me with someone else. I don't care about any reviews period.

I can't find any sources, but I remember fags whining on youtube that Steam revoked their review status a few years back
I've seen it mentioned on Sup Forums too
Posted from pc
Because Sup Forums isn't one person you fucking mong
this is the internet. Sup Forums literally the place where people come to shit post. Are you seriously here to disscuss games? Some oldfags started to "hate" sometihng and now all the new guys think its the thing to do to fit in.
i mean its not that hard to understand. anonymous imageboard that should answer you question.
if only there was a way to view post history, most people in here would be outed
not saying you're one of them, but most of them would be
Seems unfair to have a game designed for autistics to be reviewed by a normie.
first Paradox failure? steam reviews are looking pretty brutal
>pastebin.com
sounds like he went in expecting a civ 5 scale 4x game (5 colonized world is a "fairly large empire" ????), but got a paradox grandstrategy game instead. worthless review.
I am not defending IGN you idiot. How to reading comprehension?
Sup Forums says IGN is shit, and I agree, but whenever there is a bad score IGN suddenly becomes "the good site".
>Because Sup Forums isn't one person you fucking mong
yes it is, you fucking moron
Yes, IGN. The pinnacle of reviewing content.
IGN and Gamespot would be the last websites I'd go to for a Paradox game review. They lack the concentrated autism these games demand
...
Who the hell keeps buying Paradox tripe
What double standard? Is the OP not apeshit about the score? Are there no "idgaf" posts in Nintendo/Sony review threads?
Are you new or just retarded?
This is silly, they use freelancers for stuff like this, these people are pretty autistic since their job is literally to review weird games nobody else wants to review.
Nah you're just assuming baseless shit
