I just wanted to build an empire where we summon every crisis ever and then exterminate every empire and crisis, and then we kill ourselves.
Damn it Paradox.

They didn't change anything to improve how boring the game is.

Hopefully it will be fun. But again, Wiz has never failed me so far. I even like estates

Is really a patch (free) or a dlc? Got the game with the paradox bundle, and I could try it out

Does it change the combat?

Some shit free, some shit dlc only
Like always.
Pretty sure without dlc you can't get access to the titan class ships and planet destroyers. And new starting civics like starting on the tomb worlds or gaia world(with this one you can't colonize new planets)
They did, entire dlc mostly about combat and war, but it's still not real time with you giving orders every ship separately if you wanted it.

>already existing mods are now being implemented as paid DLC

...and?

So will this game be finished anytime soon or should I rather wait another two or three years to pirate everything?

B-But muh FTL

I unironically like their new "natural wormholes" system

This.
>he wasn't part of the Wormhole master race

>tfw you will finally be able to build fortress chokepoints to keep all xenos out of your glorious empire
The filth doesn't even deserve to see my planets.

i don't really enjoy their content model, they literally put all new content behind paywall.

I'm not paying 10 times what the initial game cost for more content.

I've pirated the game a couple days ago and been addicted ever since. I like how you can basically make your fantasy space empire and roleplay everything but the UI and the game controls is just utter shit.

Literally Every paradox game does this...
And it's cancer.

Correct way of playing Paradox GS is buying base game and pirating DLC or outright pirating everything.

And?
You can just patch game, or not patch at all and play old version

just pirate full unlocked never pay them a dime
cs.rin.ru updates freq if you dont trust me check any paradkuq /vg/eneral

You're at the space bar when this girl comes up and slaps your fleet's ass.
What do?

I'm always fucking paranoid about CreamAPI. Feels like I'm gonna get my Steam account banhammered sooner or later.

Well, sacrificing diversity of playstyles for the notion of making a fucking mess like stellaris "balanced" is fucking retarded.

>diversity of playstyles
Having more than one FTL per match was retarded and no sane person ever did that, except people who wanted to feel good about themselves and used wormholes against warp and hyperlines, because enemy never being able to catch you is so fun, right?
Wormholes are braindead and overpowered compared to the everything else, while warp is always better than hyperlines.
And let's be honest, forcing hyperlines only was the only way to make war little less shit.

Speaking of which, is ck2 nearing to end? I just cant stand to play and have new content the next day

>Are you ready for the last vestiges of fun to be *WHIRRRRRRRR'd* out of the game

No, not at all.

Is that actually animated? I'm looking for furry portraits that aren't half-assed.

If you're a fan of the games it kinda works. It's better than having to buy the yearly iteration Europa Universalis IV: Revelator Shippuden Burst XXrd 2: Arcade Edition. And if you really want to you can still pick and choose, but they have a poor habit of introducing half a mechanic and the other half behind the paywall.

You just kinda throw down a good 1/5th the cost of a new game to keep one of your favourites fresh.

It completely and utterly falls apart when drawing in new people though. Someone with an interest in the game might drop it immediately when they have to navigate a fucking Labyrinth of DLC.

Honestly just do the standard Buy Game Pirate DLC Model.

Also, the correct model for Stellaris is to not bother at all.

This game was incredibly easy to burn out on.

I played version 1.00 retail, whats changed senpai?

Yes, but I haven't finished the empire yet

>It completely and utterly falls apart when drawing in new people though.
Can confirm. Dropped RSS before I even picked it up because I realized "Year 2 Edition" was the real game.

Are there any must-have mods?

Yes.

Haven't played Stellaris in 8 months. I'm hoping the patch will make combat at least somewhat interesting.

and I'll get my copy for free rather than support their practices.

Nigger that argument is fucking retarded in the context of the new (((mechanics))). If I wanted a 4X with fleshed out chokepoints, I'd play SoaSE, Empire at War, or Endless Space.

Should there be mid-late game techs and countermeasures to better combat other modes of FTL until Jump Drives? Sure.

Should Defenses like mines, platforms, battlestations, and gravity well/inhibitor generators be reworked so they're useful instead of a death sentence to any system they're in? Yes.

Should everyone be railroaded into a single strategy, sacrificing a lot of what made warfare in early-mid game interesting? Fuck no.

>and I'll get my copy for free rather than support their practices.
so like the majority of us?

what the fug is this image? what happened?

It's a shame it's only a majority and not 100%.

>I'd play Endless Space.
Wow, just wow.

Yeah, everyone just pirating game really helped victoria 2.
It's your decision to be against developers adding content, but don't you fucking dare demand to everyone support you

>node management simulator
>fun

>Are your space empires ready?
yeah, in endless space 2 they are

>It completely and utterly falls apart when drawing in new people though. Someone with an interest in the game might drop it immediately when they have to navigate a fucking Labyrinth of DLC.
Most new players pirate they first paradox game, play up to 100hours and wait for a sale where everything is in it, except current dlc. this way, you wont spend more then 30€.
And by the time the next dlc comes around, you will have played >200 hours. And at this point you have enough of the game for at least a year or spend another 10€-20€ for the upcoming dlc.

just idiots will pay >100€ for the game and complain.
paradox pricing model works pretty well, as long as the dlcs are good.

Don't interact with the Shroud kids

I haven't played since 1.6.2 so I'm looking forward to another few play throughs with the new content.

The user went full madman like If you go full psionic, the Dark Gods eventually offer you a deal that doubles the stats of everything in your empire for 50 years. If you accept, you become nearly unstoppable, but at the end of the 50 Year Contract, the souls of everyone in your empire get devoured by eldritch abominations from the Shroud, every world you settled becomes a permanently uncolonizable hellscape guarded by monsters, and a Hellspawn with 1 Million fleet power spawns over your homeworld and roams the galaxy wrecking shit. All you're left with is a single world and everyone hates you

Can you sabotage a rival empire yet via indirect means that actually amounts to something?
Like funding discontent and secretly backing a political opposition that may secede or take over

I'm not the retard you're replying to but I'll never buy another paradox game. I have zero problem buying a full priced game and an expansion pack or two, but gating mods behind paywalls is fucking pathetic and they will never get support from me again.

You paid for the full game. Everything else is a different product. It's like buying a toilet and then complaining you should have a lifetime supply of toilet paper too.

Yeah, I love being forced to buy DLC to be able to develop a province. I just love playing non European nation and get fucked because institution that were introduced in later patches won't spread.

What about not just touching their games and threads about them?
>but gating mods behind paywalls
Let me guess, you are one of the retards who still buttdevastated about muslims in the ck2.

Ask her for alliance and a nice dinner

Or you can always just turn back to the most stable version before institutions were introduced.
They literally let you to downgrade game to the any patch before current.

>Despirately needs a diplomacy rework because right now it‘s all about 1 number and there‘s no way to sabotage a relationship between two and there‘s really no interaction between you and ai other than war
>"We‘ll jist give you nuke so that you can nuke the shit out of others."

Hyperlanes are so fucking boring. What the fuck. What the fucking fuck.

>What about not just touching their games and threads about them?
Nah, I'm entitled.
>Let me guess, you are one of the retards who still buttdevastated about muslims in the ck2.
No idea what you're referring to sorry. I mean that they take features that fans have modded into the game and sell them for insane prices.

>playing paradox garbage
Every retard who shills these games are swedecucks.

I haven't played since around launch. Did they give you something to do after you expand a bit and run out of influence points other than waiting for a war?

>but don't you fucking dare demand to everyone support you

I didn't 'demand' jack shit Wiz. Only regret that Paradox customers haven't done enough to convince you Swedes that you're current business model is shit and is slowly driving away customers. The recent (((dlc))) for HoI4 is a great example. It charges full expansion price for shit that was done better in free mods years ago.

I've heard the arguments for a DLC-oriented business model; which defy logic frankly. The lifeblood of Paradox games is good word of mouth. Charging Weimar-tier prices for shit additions nobody asked for instead of fixing the game makes for bad word of mouth and drives away the limited player base. See HoI4, the game is already ded.

Victoria 2 had two reasonable expansions that fixed shit while adding common sense content, not $200+ of (necessary) fluff that locked game mechanics behind them.

>I mean that they take features that fans have modded into the game and sell them for insane prices.
So you saying that developers shouldn't add anything that fans ever made?

>I love being forced to buy DLC to be able to develop a province.
You bought the original game despite not being able to "develop a province". You clearly thought the price was worth it, and bought the game.

Now you get a second product that improves the experience. So why the salt?

>So you saying that developers shouldn't add anything that fans ever made?
Not if it involves paywalling it and removing the ability to use the mod on the most recent version of the game.

So, just play old version with mods, why are you bitching about developers adding things you personally didn't wanted in the game?

>that one faggot defending Paradox shitty DLC system

>damage controlling by calling your customers raycist misogynists

That didn't work when you hired shit VAs, and it's not going to work now Sven.

>You bought the original game despite not being able to "develop a province". You clearly thought the price was worth it, and bought the game.
>So why the salt?
Because they introduced institution mechanic to base game that heavily relies on developing a province?

sounds like fun. i might try it my next playthrough.

Ask if she's ever tasted human dick before.

You can play any version of the game, just play one before they introduced it

don't give money to paradox

does Sins of a Solar Empire still hold up? Any word on a sequel?

And not be able to use mods because almost all of them requires most recent version of the game WITH DLC. The feature they even advertise on their Steam page.

...what?
I was referring when retards like you bitched about not being able to use "play anyone" to play as a muslims in the ck2 after paradox actually added mechanics for them

It never goes on sale during steam sales so it must be decent

You could play with mods for the old versions of the game, the game you paid for.
You can demand mods developers to pander specially for you.
Instead you just bitching about game being supported by developers

The sequel is Ashes of the Singularity

Did they finally fix war and diplomacy?

looks like it kinda bombed

Or he can pirate dlcs like most people do

Rough start, but I hear it's much better nowadays.

Endless Space 2 is better

How do I find mods for a version from almost year and a half ago? How many bugs are still in the game that I paid for? Why do I have to revert to patch from before I even bought the game, so I can play without being forced to buy DLC?

stellaris is awful

The depth of a puddle. might as well be a mobile game.

>So, just play old version with mods

There's two problems with this shitty argument Johan, it applies to all of your games, but let's use EU IV as an example.

1.) Every time you release ebin DLC, you rebalance the game around the shit features you added with a mandatory patch that fucks things up for people that don't buy it. For example, when you added province developmeht in EU IV, you removed base tax, so people who didn't buy your DLC were stuck with a bunch of shitty provinces with no way to improve them, thus getting hamstrung because they didn't pay to balance the new mechanics you forced upon them.

2.) Your mandatory patches break the game if you don't have the DLC. Either they straight up don't work, or are glitched to such an extent that random provinces become wastelands that can't be colonized, even in fucking Europe.

Kys

Why are you describing Stellaris?

Nigger I don't even own CK2, what the fuck are you on about?

>How do I find mods for a version from almost year and a half ago
Pretty easily? If you used mods you would knew that they keep their all old versions
>How many bugs are still in the game that I paid for
How many?
> Why do I have to revert to patch from before I even bought the game, so I can play without being forced to buy DLC?
Because you still paid for the game without dlc, and you can play it without dlc. After hearing retards like you I specially tried vanilla eu4, boring but more than playable.

I don't care about Stellaris. I'm talking about the endless meme

>1.) Every time you release ebin DLC, you rebalance the game around the shit features you added with a mandatory patch that fucks things up for people that don't buy it.

So, just play old version with mods

>Your mandatory patches
they arent. the rest of you post is therfore meaningless.

Jesus christ Raimi

>Quiet part of the year
>nothing but weeb trash coming out right now

Back at launch playing on big maps was the worst possible thing you could do. The games would just drag on forever and ever with the war system

>this has been known parajew tactics since CK2
Your faut if you keep supporting these practises.

>Roleplaying as someone elses character

No thanks

Maybe articulate yourself better than saying "its not deep" and running away then.
