Usually I do not condone pirating but this is an exception, not only they charge roughly the same for everything, but most of them have negative to mixed reviews

up

Haven't played it in a while, it's the easiest paradox gsg by far, if you have 2+ braincells you will always steamroll the ai
mostly fun if you like roleplaying as your nation/race

also yes dlc is mandatory, only buy the base game and get a dlc unlocker, or just pirate the whole thing
mods are nice but I mostly play without them these days, only use few mandatory QoL and visual ones

>>46760
I'm good at other paradox games but suck at stellaris idk why

>>46761
Got it. Do you know of a good place I can download the DLC unlocker?

its fun but you realize its actually gay and boring in 10 hours just like every MAP game

sins of a solar empire mogs

>>46753 (OP)
It was good, idk now ever since they've had thrown everything down the garbage can with 4.0 version
It was way better than hoi4 but Paradox has to ruin everything just to sell more DLCs

>idk now ever since they've had thrown everything down the garbage can with 4.0 version
Could you elaborate? Or is there a video that someone else made on this that you think explains it well?

some of the aliens are sisas

As boring as any other paradox map game but this time it doesn't even have the flavor e.g. "I'm gonna revive the Roman Empire epic chungus style!" because it's just space and stars and weird alien creatures so there is not even any larp potential.

the larp potential is in alien species and origins. You can rape the entire galaxy by eating all the moons and planets

I love joining random multiplayer lobbies and trolling as criminal syndicate

WORST
GAME
EVER
award

do NOT play this!
its extremey goy-made
imagine ultraslop ultravantablack slop
-number systems, endless technologies that just go "number go up"
nonsensical, unfun and automatism game
unlike eu1-5, or ck1-3, or vic1-3, or hoi1-4, there is no context.
Imagine, any other paradox game, but STRIPPED out of anything that is "flavor".
and made with even worse technologies and systems to develop
you learn NOTHING from it
it is GARBAGE
you have nothing TO RELATE TO
and you just "win the number game once you learn how to play"
thats it
it is literally dnb homework you want to finish because you gain nothing from it

and literally mobile game + EA + sweet baby inc type of events, decisions and garbage.

IT IS LITERALLY FILLER, NO GAME
I SPENT 200+ HOURS (or less?) TO FIND OUT THERE IS NOTHING. I KEPT WAITING TO SEE WHAT THERE IS TO PLAY; BUT THERE IS NOTHING. THIS ISNT A GAME,THIS IS EXTREMELY GARBAGE FILLED SHIT!

>muh goy roleplay
>muh interesting creatures

unless you TRY for a bad reason, probably, to immerse yourself, then sure, you can fall for it. but the immersion, unlike in other games, where it makes the game positive, here just makes it tolerable. YOU ARE UNINTELLIGENT OR DONT UNDERSTAND ENOUGH IF YOU LIKE THIS GAME


I wouldnt even play this game if i got paid for it, and i would never let my children have access to it (if i had children)*maybe


This game is a turd

>>48428
Stellaris has way wider gameplay options than hoi4 and Vicky 3

no imagination award

>>48586
bait

I dont want to waste my time with obvious demon things
-Demonic: Unrealistic things (demands, gamey system, "events", "fantasy", all Aliens are demons)
I dont want to waste my time with things that are misleading/bad
-It requires you to think about unrealistic things, totally removing you from life. There is no connection between this game and reality, and your behaviour when playing it will evolve into something not-so-good probably as well. Also it teaches a lot of bad things, and does not EDUCATE, but creates a LIE-BASED IMAGINATION.
Nobody should imagine a world that could not exist anyway and would be misleading and wrong to imagine. This is literally that.
It is like an AI hallucination, like an isekai world slop made into an immersive sim. You should not play such stupidity, such wrongness or such distraction (it distracts from other games or things, which in comparison are so much better and realistic)

I gain "nothing" from playing this game except perhaps learning how much slop the game is.


Here's the estimated average time it took me to want to send death threats to the paradox devs:
-Stellaris: 50 hours
-Victoria 2: 400-500 hours
-Crusader kings 2: 2000+ hours (the game wasnt that bad)
-Eu4: 500* (more like 100-200 hours; i was just mislead into believing the realism will come)
-Eu5: (didnt play, but probably 300-400 hours)
-Eu3: (400-500 hours*) (*the magna mundi mod extends this to probably 3000-4000 hours, and i havent reached that time yet; so, eu3 with mods is the best so far)
-did i forget any other game (that i played)? Basically i think paradax games are so much shit, that i would pay up to 1000 to see a public execution of the devs


>>48585
wider options dont make garbage better. if i can choose between moldy or just fly-infested garbage, neither is good





Also i know my arguments arent "that good". I am telling from my perspective, not trying to convince you o algo. I dont think you will be convinced that much

If I want to play a video games I don't care about how realistic it is because games are only games and meant to be entertaining; stellaris before 4.0 was just that. You could create a interstellar empire, genocide, enslave or ally aliens and with mods build some funny and broken megastructures and the gameplay was just fun.
If I want to do something realistic I do actual physical activities like go on a walk or read a book; I play games as a relaxation after work
Imaginary, fantastical worlds is what a lot of our literature consists of and these ideas had a great positive effect when people inspired by them for example, the notion of Plato's world of pure forms came to create Quantum Physics
You just need a balance that's that and never take the imagined too serious
You're just full of hate geg

G-O-Y-I-M GOYIM award,

does not see meaningful things and instead allows himself to believe in "lies" award.
You could create >template mechanic bool set to true, which will give you some text and graphics and new mechanics to believe into even more lies and engayge with them
do mechanics that >have text and images that somehow are related to fun. not fun itself. you are merely pretending to genocide them, not actually genociding them, so where is the fun?
>enslave = see above, ally = see above + goyim award rank 2,
>mods, broken things, "gay me play is fun": there is no game in it. Slot machines, drugs and masturbation "are fun too"

"imaginary, fantastical worlds"
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
>>>litteral goyim level 3 - chatgpt-educated slave award. How do you even expect to get out of this meaningless loss of time and this whole network of carefully developed lies that will make you not your own decider of fate, but someone extremely influenced by the media you consume, and so on? This is hours wasted, not? Imagine not being smart

chatgpt slop afterwards.
>you're just full of hate geg - are you looking for a soyduel or what is this bad type of engagement that you do?
