Tried Stellaris for the first time in about six months. I own pretty much every other Paradox first-party game, and in my view this is the first time a Paradox game has gotten worse from its release. At release, it was an optimistic, if a bit shallow sci-fi sandbox. You could see a lot of potential....

I gave it a go. It's not as bad as it was 2.0. I don't dislike it like I did then, but it still doesn't grab me the same way it did pre-2.0. Pre-2.0 I would've had a problem with stopping in the middle of a game :P That's not the case anymore (although Silverware assures me that there are DLCs avai...

From a biological perspective, such children would likely have weakened immune systems because the mother shares antibodies with the child in the last few months of pregnancy. You could also justify having a lower level of viability for such children. Humans were not designed to develop in tanks. a...

I love the sound of this game. From a scientific perspective, by the time such a generation ship would be possible, I would also guess that things like artificial wombs would be in existence. It would make a lot of sense for a generation ship to be equipped with such devices. However, from a gamepla...

Any Ace Combat fans here? Ace Combat 7 came out yesterday, and here's my thoughts as a lifelong fan: I've been playing Ace Combat games since I was 8 years old (I'm 25 now). I was really looking forward to Ace Combat 7. There are some really good things about the game. It looks beautiful, and has so...

Thanks, Damocles -- that's a nice summary. I'd like to see someone really put in the effort to offer the kind of deeper characterizations (which still aren't highly individualized, but it's a starting point) we're talking about here. In the meantime, I can see how a simpler system is probably bette...

I can't muster the desire to return to this game. I've probably played through the original trilogy more than ten times, but I've only played through Andromeda once. I've tried to start new games, but this game lacks a hook to bring me in. I simply do not care about the story or the characters in it...

Actually, I agree with these suggestions about the music. I don't know what financial arrangement Josh made with Francois, but I'd guess that either the soundtrack was a work for hire and Josh now owns it, or Francois still owns it and licensed it to Josh. In either case, there could be some reason...

Read some reports today that Bethesda is having serious issues with Starfield, ranging from issues with the story to issues with the engine. In many ways, It sounds like the Mass Effect: Andromeda development process. Hopefully, the result isn't the same in this case.

It's where CK2 falls down a little. It'd be nice if there were a way to continue a game, even after you "lose". Either take over from a bastard branch, or continue as a Baron trying to scavenge enough power to get a county again. Or the ability to continue play from someone's Court. Then you could ...

I'll give this game another try when the finally release the next update. Have barely played it since they changed the FTL.

Selling the rights would be complicated I would have thought. The main issue is what happens to all the kick starter backers who funded the games development? Will they still get the rewards promised? You would essentially be selling a debt to all the kick starter folk who paid their money and expe...

I agree with the sentiment to not release the source code, at least not for awhile. I'm not a coder, but I know that a lot of people on this forum are. I've seen huge modding projects done by communities (for example, the SkyWind project with Skyrim). I see no reason why the people on this forum cou...

In late 2013 Limit Theory´s concept was realy appealing and it is to this day, but with the release of X4: Foundation later this year there might be a similar enough competitor on the horizon. I'm here because im curious if LT ever gets gold status.... 56 months over time and counting.... This was ...

I bought the 300i my freshman year of college. Now I'm a 2nd year law student and I still haven't played it.
