2 days until Stellaris 2.0 update

>2 days until Stellaris 2.0 update
Can't wait

I want to love this game but everytime after playing for 1 hour i go back to Distant worlds. Did they add more depth to game, it was couple of DLCs at this point?

This update has been needed since launch I’m annoyed by how they handled the whole corvette exploration when they could have just made it so you couldn’t see hyperlanes until a science ship explored the system

I would like this game if the end game doesnt run like shit

the only reason stellaris was ever talked about here was because you can make a civilization of literal space nazis and practice literal eugenics and targeted genocides, as fun as that is, the game itself besides that is rather shallow

>that one time Sup Forums actually sat down and asked how to be more efficient with playing as space nazis
and then they got bored of the game

That's what happens when you have no midgame and a barely exciting endgame

literal space nazi elves*

I disagree.
People love this game because it's first space 4x since moo times where you actually can roleplay.

>roleplay
Kinda hard when your interactions with everyone else are limited to hating them or being friends until they inevitably change their policies and then you hate them

>tfw Commonwealth of man is basically Terran

Is there a mod to remove mutts and muttnames from people avatars?

Sure

>2 days until yet another patch that fixes nothing
Can't wait

If it only had a proper physical release then it wouldn't have one because it would have been included at purchase.

>2 Days until we can start waiting for 2.1 to fix everything that's wrong with 2.0

This will forever be my problem with all paradox games. The longer you wait and the more DLC you buy, the more complete of an experience you get. But how long am I supposed to wait? I've been playing Stellaris on and off since release and I'm so sick of it. In 3 years from now they will still be milking out of it with new "overhauls" that are the greatest thing ever that should have been on the game from the start.

Sometimes I'm convinced they do it intentionally, like they know we're just gonna keep paying

Oh I'm sure. Why make Europa Universalis 5, 6 and 7 when they can keep making money off of EU4?

That game came out in 2013. It's 2018 and there's no EU5 in sight, they will milk it until their engine is falling apart by modern standards and they absolutely need to do something. CK2 is from 2012 and it really shows it's age in a few UI situations. But hey, CK2 is still $40 with over $250 in DLC and it's selling, so why bother?

If I ever was a DLC-buying type I'd be pretty disappointed if only like 10% of update were actually paid features and 90% free patch content.

I'm having the same problem with Civ 6 right now. I played a bit of it on release and now after many patches and at least one expansion it looks like it's heading somewhere, but nothing special. Who knows, it may even be a finished product by the time Civ 7 is out.

Your post doesn't make sense
EU3 was released in the 2007
Crusader kings in the 2004
And with EU3 and HoI2~HoI3 they were more jewish with expacks than ever. Vanilla versions were shit without features, and when new expack was released support of previous versions was dropped, including multiplayer. And let's not forget their practices from that time like almost not releasing bug fixing patches outside of expacks.

you roleplay in moo?

Yeah, they used to be even greedier and their games shittier. Now it's better, but they are still greedy. I don't see your point? Do you really mean to defend them?

I'm not even saying that it's bad business practice or that they are inherently evil for it, just saying it kinda sucks I can't just buy the game and play it without the looming thought that in a year from now it's probably inevitably gonna be a better game with more content.

And yeah, like said, the accompanying free patches usually bring most of the stuff and the DLC just complements it (though you have to agree a lot of the DLC in CK2 is kinda tough to say you can just play without), so it's more about the time thing.

And your post illustrates what I said perfectly. Crusader Kings came out in 2004, CK2 only in 2012. It's been 6 years since and I see no sign of a CK3. Plus it was a completely different time back then, Mass Effect and AssCreed were new releases and the idea of DLC wasn't even a huge thing yet.

>Crusader Kings came out in 2004, CK2 only in 2012. It's been 6 years since and I see no sign of a CK3.
CK2 was announced in less than year before release
there was 8 years gap between first and second game, there less than 6 years gap between second and possible third announcement and you still cry about it

You actually could play as a type of race instead of minmaxing like a faggot in the modern 4x with every playthrough being the same except few different bonuses

but I like minmaxing and typically play only one race in 4x games.

Stop nitpicking that one point about my post. I'm not crying about "It's been too long since the last game!" That wasn't the point of anything I said. If anything it's better that a game can last a long time than having a new game every year with very minor improvements. What I was talking about is how CK2 in 2018 is a much improved game from CK2 in 2013. Just like Stellaris has come quite a bit since it's release and will keep going. This is great in a way but it also encourages me to play the game as late as possible into it's lifespan to get the most out of it. So I'm slowly building up a list of games that sure sound nice to play, but it sounds better to play when they are actually improved upon 100%.
