Utopia and Banks are almost here!

[PalmettoExplorer14]

Yep! They're almost done especially since @Wiz said on his Twitter account that they're in a code freeze.

For those who are wondering what that means:

Specifically since I'm guessing that Wiz meant a complete code freeze, pretty much we are almost there as they can't change any part of the code as they often do code freezes at or near the end of development.

Yup, only about three weeks left (if you count this week).

You do realize the release date has already been announced a few weeks ago for April 6th? (Or was it 7th?)

It's the 7th for me. The rest of the world is so yesterday.

It means if they did not manage to get any "feature they looked into" in, it will not make it this round.
i.e., they wanted to allow the restoration of Ringworlds and ruined Dyson Spheres. But if they did not have the time for it before now, it will not be in this patch.


The release date was confirmed as 6th of April a while ago. Wich happens to be the 3rd Dev Diary Thursday from today. 2 Weeks from tomorrow.

The longest two weeks of my lifetime.
Utopia will bring a new level to gameplay in stellaris. I really can't wait for this

I just got mass effect Andromeda to pass the time

I would have gotten Andromeda but....
The animation mistakes I've seen just look so frightening.

I mean....that's not even the worst I've seen. Is it good, or is it like another DA:I?

no idea yet, finished downloading it last night, I'll get to play it for the first time when I get back from work, in like 7 hours.

I'm not hugely bothered by bad animations though. Heck, I play no man's sky and enjoy myself, my standards can't be high.

 

[Mauer]

I don't care about the animations in Mass Effect, I don't play those games to watch people talk or walk, but I've read the story feels very cliche and choices empty.

Let us know how it is! I don't think I'll buy it. The m/m romance doesn't look too entertaining for me, and I'd rather drop $20 on this and save $40 than drop $60 on Andromeda.

 

[Skays]

I will buy mass effect andromeda for some 6 months from now to avoid all AAA game sh*t bugs and other stuff.

I just had a friend buy it for me. Though I owe him a copy of titanfall 2 now. Oh well, I'd say that's a win-win for me. Either I enjoy Andromeda, in which case money well spent, or I don't, and I get to bash him for enjoying a bad game. And in both cases we get to play Titanfall 2 together!

ye im holding off having another game until the new update. Went back to sins actually. So slow late game, one of the lads pcs is starting to age so we played 4 player with 6 AI MP. its our 3rd load of the save this week but for 2 hours last night and the game progressed (game time) 38 mins lol How is stellaris late game in MP? i know it slows in SP late game or do MP games even go to 2500's or later?

depends on what people are playing on. I play with a group of friends with decent rigs and it's fine for the most part until about crisis spawn, then it starts getting noticeable. But then I have one friend who plays on a potato, and the lag sets in at about year 90.
