I hate when a new game in a franchise comes out and people try to poo poo on it going 'wah it's just more of the same!' Yeah! It is! That's why I'm playing it! I'm not playing Darker Souls or Super Mario Road Trip or Pokemon Inverse and Reverse because I want something new and different! I'm playing them because I want more of the same! If I wanted to play something different I'd be playing something different! SCheeseman posted:Mario 3 was way, way easier than World. No way. World was way easier than 3.

SMB3 world 8 airship and 8-1 both kicked my rear end a lot as a kid. I never beat it on console. I didn't have a SNES as a kid so I don't have a direct comparison, but having played both on emulator, I still think SMB3 is quite a bit harder. SMW is very hand-holdy with powerups and stuff, especially the ability to backtrack and grab powerups/yoshis from previous levels. And most of its bullshit levels were optional.

Vandar posted:I hate when a new game in a franchise comes out and people try to poo poo on it going 'wah it's just more of the same!' I get that. But at the same time sometimes a game is good in part because of its potential or novelty so when a sequel hits and its basically the same it's a disappointment. The Walking Dead and Telltale games were that for me. I enjoyed The Walking Dead but also felt like it missed the mark and had some problems. So when I finished I thought if they improved on the formula I'd be in for another one. So when Wolf Among Us came out and had all the same issues I just noped out of Telltale games.

oh i totally missed the 'new game in a FRANCHISE' part whoops anyways perfecting a winning formula is fine, that's what From has been doing for a long time, but that also means there should be some noticeable improvements. unless you think your formula is literally perfect which seems unlikely

Tbh I dont know if I like stellaris. I've been playing it a lot but I'm new to the game so I'm still just figuring it out. I've only just gotten to the mid game in my current game and idk it's very very slow. I could see myself getting bored with it quite easily. Doesnt seem to have the same variance and replayability that civ6 has

I haven't played it for ages but what broke me was the midgame. A combination of all the little micromanagement involved with planets and orbitals and whatnot combined with how static the map was. It felt like there was so little you could do and everything you would do was done because of calculation rather than decision. I think the only people who like Stellaris past the early game are people who use it to tell themselves stories. The actual game part of it never really comes together.

The early game is fun when you're expanding and trying to find and acquire choke points but after that it's sort of what? I'm not sure what the win conditions are. The maps are boring, theres no features like terrain or anything that need to be considered. There doesnt seem to be enough differences between civs or species or whatever to dictate play styles much. Not like civ6 where different civs or leaders have wildly different bonuses or features to really change what and how you can do things. Theres no reason to play in any specific way other than to simply roleplay whatever faction you happen to be playing as

Beartaco posted:Don't hold out on us, what's wrong with Stellaris? ooooo, where to begin? I think the best way of saying it is that the game sells well due to the dream of what people want it to be (the space 4x that does everything from fluffy roleplaying to Dyson spheres), rather than the reality of what it actually is (tedious micro hell, frustrating half-assed and/or primitive mechanics, an AI so bad it can't even build self-sustaining cities without a 2x bonus to resources, tedious micro hell). If I was really trying to say something inflammatory I'd call it a very mild case of the Starcitizen syndrome. Wrapped up all around that is the mess known as the Paradox business model, where every product starts out as a premium purchase, turns into a rolling-release style of software, with the kicker that the intended evolving experience also needs endless exploitative* DLC. I personally threw the towel in twice, first after the disastrous 1.0 edition, and again around the 2.2 era just after they released the espionage DLC(*) which actually made the vanilla game straight-up worse if you didn't buy it. edit: I know I focused on crunchy stuff there, but I'll also say that the game doesn't really do roleplaying all that well for the amount of make-your-own-fun that is expected to happen. The game has a wonderful narrative experience for your first playthrough, but that's mostly gone by the 2nd/3rd game (and replayability is a big part of 4x games), and what you're left with is a bunch of very primitive cardboard cutouts failing to masquerade as player foils. Stellaris' contemporaries such as Civ6 or Endless Space 2 -or gently caress even SoaSE from 2010- do a better job of it. Serephina fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Sep 29, 2022 |

The real problems with stellaris are under the hood. You essentially have to do genocide or play a small map just for endgame performance reasons. This is why they keep adding genocide content, because everyone who makes it to the endgame without genocide quits because everything takes too long e: also, as someone w/ a lot of hours in stellaris who hasn't played in months, what kills me is all the clicking in the early game to survey everything, build all the mines, and build the same build orders everywhere. There's just no variation in the vast majority of micromanagement. I wish i could automate science ships from the start, and construction ships too. And in the endgame, conquest is even worse once you have multiple fleets and multiple armies and are just sweeping uncontested space conquering planets as fast as possible before the war ends automatically. I wish you could attach armies to fleets and click auto conquer poverty goat fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Sep 29, 2022 |

I have only played the vanilla console edition whatever that is that's included for "free" with the new sonypass but the staggering amount of very expensive dlc is rather off putting. Good to know it isnt worth it in the slightest. I think I'm going to keep playing my current game until I get bored of it but probably call it quits after that. It was only supposed to keep me occupied until the valkyrie profile port was released but thsts been delayed til December

Honestly stellaris did the paradox DLC thing pretty well. You do get all the features without it, but the game will also be more boring because all the related stories and events are in the DLC. If you do really like the game, it might be worth getting some DLC on sale.
