God that game had a high learning curve. I had a B**** of a time figuring out everything I could do in that game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been 3 huge updates, each with massive changes, and this new one next week is going to be the biggest of them all. Definitely go back and try it again after this update. Nowhere near the same game. It really sucks that either (A) Sony forced them to release before they were ready, or (B) they ran out of money and needed the sales to keep working, because if this next update was released as the initial game it would have been a massive success. It is pretty clear the initial build of the game was not what they planned on releasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelonebillsfan Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Completely changes the generation algorithms and flora generation which increases biome variance on planets, adds dozens of new biomes and ways to interact with planets. Adds a full playable third person perspective. Gives you the ability to build a base anywhere you desire. Adds fleet management to your capital ships. Adds multiplayer. Bunch of stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does sound exciting. I may have to revisit it. To anyone who has played is there still issues like this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 No they fixed most of the issues like that with the fauna very early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the paradox games have high learning curves imo but once you get them down they are complete time sinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know they had a strategy game set in Japan Stellaris is amazing, I've lost months worth of time in that damn game, lol.

Nah, there are plenty of people out there with 1000+ hours. Florryworry, one of the biggest streamers of EU4, claims to have 19k hours (although I'm not sure that's even possible) I've played 900 hours and there are still aspects of the game I don't understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywindO2 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Beat another Nancy Drew game. Treasure in the Royal Tower is the worst one yet. I can't decide what's worse, the terrible explanation for why jewels from Maria Antoinette are in Wisconsin, or the fact the game took place in Wisconsin.

(Yes those are pretty much the only two non-sports related things I know about Wisconsin ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwny Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Sonic Mania got a really nice DLC addition that adds a nice spin on the game. I honestly think with Mania and the Plus DLC, it might be my favorite game on this entire generation of consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
