>>1850234

It's a good game and you can put a ton of hours in playing in different ways. You can do a federation, conquer/vassalize everyone, or just become the galactic threat and eradicate other factions.

It's probably the best modern space map painting game out there. Has anyone played the new galactic civilizations?

Idk, you tell me. You asked if you should try it because people seem to enjoy it.
It's a well made game with nice sound design and visuals, and a lot of people do enjoy it. I'm simply telling you that the """improved""" gameplay they've introduced several years ago is definitely not for everyone and I wish they didn't do it.

The live service game does run the risk of updates that no one ever wanted or asked for.

Yeah, and I hate how all the zoomers and their favourite talking heads all polish the corporate cocks that stuff this live service forever updated bullshit down their throats and ask for more. They don't even realise that that's precisely the reason why they are never getting any good games anymore, at least not of the magnitude of Heroes 3 or Diablo 2.

I'll only mention my /vst/ related games:
>Mount & Blade (1.011)
>Mount & Blade: Warband
>Rome:Total War
>Command & Conquer: Remastered Collection
>Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars
>Honorable Mention - Medieval: Total War II
The Mount & Blade games would share a spot with a post-apocalyptic rpg, an online fps, and an open-world crime game. Most of my other /vst/ related stuff has been off of steam and other digital storefronts, and those would currently be Tiberian Sun, StarCraft, WarCraft III, and now Syndicate '93; Mount & Blade (1.011) would still be one of my top-played /vst/ related games offline.

Why not? The only thing in the later releases is more factions. Maybe that anon doesn't care about more factions. And TWWH3 is worse than WH2 so this series is definitely one where playing the latest game isn't required.

>>1855469
>how did they "improve" the gameplay, just started playing
go watch some videos of stellaris 1.0
it used to feel like real-time Civ in space
after 2.1 or whenever the update was that radically changed the economy, it was turned from a board game into a victoria-style, number-go-up simulator because this was the better platform for selling DLC.

if you have a board game (or an RTS like starcraft), everything is meticulously balanced and you can only tweak a few things here and there
but if you make a number-go-up game, then you can just keep piling on new ways to make number go up.
They've also started to add more story packs lately, so now you have a 4xrpg thing
it's basically just a big ball of mud at this point. It also lags horribly in the late game because the economic calculations are unnecessarily complicated.

It's worth a pirate but that's about it.
>>
>>1850234
Its shit but unfortunately its the only space 4x that's got anything going on at the moment. Distant worlds 2 would have been a good replacement if the devs totally didn't shit the bead with garbage 3d ship models and half of the aliens from previous games not even being in the sequel at launch.

It and Brood War contend for my favourite game overall.
It hits a very specific niche as being one of the most autistic multiplayer games of all time, but most of the draw being imagination fuel.
Singleplayer AI is even more retarded than your usual TBS AI to the point most consider it an MP-only game and it's probably overpriced for what it is, but diehards definitely get their money's worth.

Don't know where to ask elsewhere but i played a game i believe last year or two years ago, and i wish to play it again but am unable to find it.

From what i remember you started with a class as a peasant or something, could work your way up to citizen, lord etc. marry, work in a graveyard or in a shop, and i believe you could then continue by playing as the children of the initial character if they came of age.

Victoria 2 would have more hours if including when I pirated it around time of release. Medieval 2: Total War would be higher if including time I spent playing it back in the 00s. Pretty much all of the Civ 5 hours are from multiplayer, I don't even like it that much.

add to this list:
Starsector: Maybe 300 hours
Warcraft III + tft in its glory days, possibly my most played game, even if I didnt touch it in 10 years: => 2.000 hours or something like that

I regret and I am ashamed of nothing except for the dota autobattler
