Dreaming of Stellaris

[Xeldrakka]

The hype train for this game is so real that I've had a dream of myself playing this bloody game. XD I don't recall much other there being like.. 9 different victory objectives, and the Bloorg Party showing up as an AI controlled empire that was way too loose with some of its rare resources.

I think I'm going to pre-order Stellaris after all.

Clearly it's a matter of prophecy now.

Yeah, Hype Train is pretty rough right now. Very crowded. It's taking us all over everything and making sure we get a good almost glimpse of the promise land.

I may burst into flames by the 9th of May.

 

[Bragi]

It's OK.. it's completely OK.. everything is going to be fine....

 

[der_butschi]

It's taking a toll on all of us... I for one have lost interest in most other games. I haven't been that excited about a game since... MoO3 comes to mind... but it can't that would be an evil omen...

Edit: Wargame: European Escalation. There, that works...

 

[Pandoricus]

It will come, yes that's it, it will come. (as I sit in the corner rocking back and forth, staring into nothing)

 

[Admiral Howe]

I'm having similar loss of productivity to Stellaris...it's really unfair at this point.

Spoiler: The Hype Train, Get Onboard

There's plenty of room!

Hopefully Stellaris will be as good as Endless Space when it releases.

Hopefully it'll be infinitely better than Endless Space when it releases. Endless Space was kinda fun for the one game I played of it, but it just felt so soulless that I didn't ever play it again.

 

[barny]

Yeah, I dreamed of Stellaris as well, but I woke up before I could get to second base.

 

[Admiral Howe]

Hopefully Stellaris will be as good as Endless Space when it releases.

If it's only that quality, to be honest, I'll be horribly disappointed. From what I've seen this promises to be much, much better.

Endless Space... with expansions?

Let me check your ticket. I think you got on the Reasonable Expectations Line instead of the Hype Train.

Crud...I think I'm in the same boat as you. The last time I was this hyped WAS for MOO3. I followed the development closely and dreamed about the day of its release. Then I played it. And it was sad. Still, I have faith in Paradox. Hopefully we are rewarded for that faith.

 

[DàbiànLājīdàrén]

I mean I don't think Stellaris will be a Rome 2 disaster, but honestly it's probably not going to fulfill the hype expectation 100%, I don't even think it'll even be 75%. People are going in thinking it's gonna be the best thing since video games were invented.

 

[Admiral Howe]

Endless Space... with expansions?

That's a bit better but still wasn't enough for me. The exploration, science system, system maps, different FTL systems, Fallen Empires, etc all tips the scales horribly in one direction. But I've been waiting for a space 4x game like this for nearly 20 years, so I'm going to be both over-hyped and over-expecting.

Poor Wiz.

 

[Uhlume]

If you want different FTL methods in one game, an extensive research tree, some cool ship designing, you could try Sword of the Stars.
Sword of the Stars 2 was pretty terrible, not entirely sure in what state it is currently, but it's basically like 1, but nicer looking, just not as functional.

 

[Beric]

I persuaded 3 people to pre-order the game. It had better be good or they'll give me no end of it.

People have different expectations and interests. You could find it awesome and someone else will hate it. Like I thought Rome 2 was and still is crap but some of my friends like it for whatever reason. Stellaris will probably be no different.

Similar here, though I gifted three copies. A galaxy to my partner-in-crime for Paradox games, and two normals to my wife and one of my better friends who lost hundreds of hours in Space Empires V

Hype doesn't work on me.
