Complain about passive AI.
Get beaten up in the war started by AI.
Seems like a legit review.

Do they significantly impact purchasing decisions these days tho? I doubt that very much.
Not all of his criticism is unfounded.
"It gets worse! Putting planets in sectors hides them in the menus that show lists of planets, so there’s no way to quickly access them. And planets in sectors don’t build ships or improve their space stations on their own, so if you ever want to do that you have to find them on the map, and that’s a frustrating process that actually creates more micromanagement than the sectors solve."
The fact that you only get your core worlds on the quick bar IS a bit tedious. At the very least I would hope they add a drop down menu to switch the planets shown to the sector you want to work on at the time.

I find it a bit strange with all that strong emotions about a game virtually no one have actually played them self. Let's wait a month or two and see what the consensus is at that time.
Now parts of this thread just reads like the curse of pre-orders + hype = I bought it, and I'm not stupid. So they game is great no matter what, because else I'm stupid for buying it before it was even released.

PC Gamer nailed it - and they said the same as the IGN review, in other words. To sum it up, I'll quote their review:
"Freed from the chains of history, Paradox takes grand strategy to the stars and creates a solid foundation that's begging to be expanded upon."

Well you can expand the sector list view to show all the planets in it and quickly acces their space station and planets from there. So it is just one step more than the outliner.

Considering this forum has agree/disagree options I think there also needs to be a 'funny' option... I give this response a perfect 5/7.

Well it is only 1 review. Let's see how other reviews score this game. And if Paradox will address any of these issues raised in the review.
I don't understand that review. he first complains that the AI doesn't go to war and he had to initiate it. Then he complained that the alliance he's in got his empire wiped out because of a war. The writer at least should be consistent.

It wasn't a million miles away the review, the game is a solid 7 for sure.
Thing is most people look at review scores from IGN including myself

I think people are upset not because of the content of the review itself. There are no doubt some important points there that PI needs to take seriously. However, the final verdict is just unreasonably harsh and inconsistent with their other reviews of the game in similar state. When you give a mostly playable game 6/10 and a complete mess 9/10, it just speaks volume on the credibility of the reviewer.

IGN Italia gives Stellaris 9.3 - http://it.ign.com/stellaris-pc/110749/review/stellaris-la-recensione?p=4
Can tell the American one is "bizzare"

IGN and PC Gamer are pretty joke review sites. Metacritic is where you need to be looking.
They do however need to start work on that first expansion right away to start plugging in the weak spots.

IGN gave civilization 5 a score of 90. That is kind of ridiculous.
That game had way bigger flaws on release then stellaris from what I have seen.

"Passive AI" = "I don't like being an aggressor and what that says about me as a person. I'd rather the AI randomly attack me for no real reason."
Lost War = "You can actually lose this game? After hours of investment? WHAT MADNESS IS THIS?!"

Passive AI (and slow expansion) matches what I've seen in streams and let's plays so far, and might be something that needs addressing in early patches.
I guess we'll see tonight
