Was human kind one of those ones? I saw it was deep on sale and feel like ive never heard anything about it one way or the other

Humankind never really jelled for me. I liked the idea on paper but in practice the accretion of culture never felt like it had the impact it should. Probably worth revisiting though, I haven't touched it since launch

did not realize this was about the game at first and thought you were just speaking about people generally

This has reminded me that I had an edible about half an hour ago

I made it 340 hrs after all the dlc but yeah it still never quite jelled

i really like some of their ideas but it still never cohered into a whole

I’m hoping sins of a solar empire 2 gets better it needs a lot more flavor at the moment the galaxy just feels too lifeless compared to ie stellaris

I've been vibing on Midnight Suns and Terra Invicta. Both fun.

i think i have terra invicta but never played, what’s midnight suns? space 4x too?

Naw, its not a 4X. Its a turn based strategy Marvel game. I just grabbed it from the Steam Summer Sale but so far its been both a good super hero story and a good strategy game.

that is disappointing, I haven't tried it but I did really love the original need more space-based games like that
Avatar
it’s still early access so i think it’ll get there and i feel the same about the original i think sins does a lot better job of making it feel like you have an imperial core compared to stellaris past early game and i like how you can really build up fortress systems

I want to like 4X games, but I don’t know whether it’s the ADHD, or just not finding the “right” game, but none of them have ever really clicked. I tried Humankind and it was kind of OK, Stellaris was overwhelming.

Civilization made it clear to me that if i got a billion dollars i would 100% hire sean bean to be my hype man. listening to him tell you how you’re the greatest and actually you deserve to rule would def be good for me after acquiring fuck you kind of money
Avatar
Great thing about Sean Bean is he will absolutely show up too

oh god the sean bean narration on that game is INCREDIBLE

lmao i just learned the rome quote is a garrison keihler quote
Avatar
I guess Rome was kind of Woebegon eventually

sean bean as a narrator is top-tier; the choice in quotes for technologies is... a mixed bag, compared to Civ V
