Lets stoke that hype-fire:

"I am playing it and it's the single greatest thing to ever happen to me. Have you been enjoying it?"

People, stop feeding the bloody troll! Emma is here just to piss you off! All her arguments are either based on her personal opinion presented as facts or just pure illogical bullshit. Stop replying to her, please.

 

[Ziffallo]

Impatient are we?

I was worried a bit about Stellaris not living up to the hype and not being quite as fun to play as it appears to be on Twitch. The good words on twitter feel very reassuring. Is this a new milestone for the genre?

Won't know for sure until we play it for ourselves...looks good so far. Multiplayer should be interesting to watch and next weekends you tubers footage....I took the 9th, 10th and 11th off to play, should be fun.

It's a whole lot of hype.

Entertaining hype, Friend.

 

[Ziffallo]

Loving it....maybe more friends?!

 

[Invictus5966]

The more hype I see the more I want it out now

Yeah. I'm off all this week. Bad planning.

Sorry man
I'm off the 9th but I work the rest of the week.

 

[Ziffallo]

Hate to get sick my first day back from vacation. Just sayin'.

Indeed. The quest for the mythical 7th friend needs to begin sooner rather than later.

Well next week we have the MP play and the week after its the 9th so I don't think there will be anymore Blorg unless I'm missing something?

I think they are going to continue the Blorg stream post launch until the campaign is done. ET Thursdays are an ongoing thing.

 

[Ziffallo]

Just what are you implying?

LOL

There were a lot of posts, but I felt that yours summarized most of the responses I've received.

Your argument is a pretty subtle strawman and ad hominem. You keep trying to assert the narrative that because I'm not fond of watching youtubers, I'm just a sour person who doesn't want anyone to have any fun - ESPECIALLY streamers. You're trying to say that having the game publicized by big youtubers before it's released is also a good way to market the game. That really isn't the case with niche youtubers like Quill18 and Arumba. I've never seen them in the public eye outside of places related to grand strategy games, since that's all they actually cover. If you have this game to MarkPlier or PewDiePie, you could expect a huge following from it. I don't suggest that so don't try to argue that with me, please.

Why do you feel the need to limit people voicing their opinion? Do you want this forum to be your safe place, where no one can go against the word of Paradox? You are not being attacked. You are not being attacked. For a third time, you are not being attacked. You do not have to jump to a defense when I'm simply trying to explain my discontent with a certain strategy Paradox is trying out. That's all. Get the hell off your high horses.

Yeah... I'm pretty sure the kind of people who enjoy pewdiepie aren't exactly the demographic for paradox GSGs.

I would suggest Arumba. He is not interested in the story but digs into the game mechnics deeply. There is a chance that he wont even read any anomalies description.

I wouldn't recommend Arumba. In a recent video, he called someone a 'faggot' and then told his viewers that it was their fault if they felt offended by his use of this word. If you can put up with this kind of arrogance, ignorance and bigotry then I guess that's up to you. Personally, I'm surprised that Paradox would want someone who uses this kind of language to promote their product.

I would suggest checking out Quill18, who is always a good watch for strategy games. I also expect Marbozir to have some excellent coverage as he is an experienced strategy gamer. Finally, someone who I consider to be underrated is Shenryyr, who plays most Paradox grand strategy games. I imagine Shenryyr will most likely be streaming the game on Twitch. These YouTubers commentate very well and explain what they are doing clearly. They would be my preferred choices for checking out the pre-release videos/streams.

The good words on twitter feel very reassuring.

Yeah, because they would totally say "lol, this sucks" to never get their hands on a pre-release game after this.

Well, that's awfully damning. Could you share a link to that video? I, and perhaps others, would be interested to see that for myself.
