>/vst/ says this is the best space 4x ever>try it>it's not even better than stellaris, which itself is crapcould you shitheads stop lying to me and telling me that bad games are good? i wanted a strategy game, not a visual novel with number-go-up elements.
the music is great though
>>2456725>oopsie, another one fell for the youtoober cultist shills again!hopefully someday you will grow up
>>2456730it really is
>>2456725The gameplay is only held back by the terrible AI, it's pretty good otherwise.
Downgrade to ES1.Navy designer is terrible with how it's the epitome of modern game design:>grey void>minimalism meets metro + soulless nondescriptive icons>hardpoints = limited configurations = easy to balance (prevent cheese) but hard to approach as a player>numbers mean absolutely nothingI don't remember the first game's ship designer being that bad.Politics is like a downgraded Civ6 policy card system and is more of a fancy distraction from the 4X part of the game. Oh boy election animations of pie charts in voids! I love spreadsheets!I don't remember if the soundtrack is better than ES1's but it's the same song on repeat.>>2457427>only thing hey hey people liked about the game is obese titsI imagine he'll not play Endless Legend 2 (or their not-civ) given the womanly rot took hold fully and it has gay relationships but none of the lesbians are hot. I still remember Endless Legend 1 getting a (male model) female vampire event character, followed by an entire black transgender illiterate murderous thief faction that would be 'phobic and an 'ism if made by the wrong people. I never checked how bad it was in ES2, but the plentiful female led factions and the feminist, diverse, inclusive fascist empire with a heckin' science path made me not care about the game entirely after I found the mechanics to be bad.
>>2457628ES1 is dogshite
>>2457666>Amplitude Studios>Take an existing fun game>Multilate the fun out of it>Slap an "ENDLESS(tm)" on it (don't forget the trademark!)Look at their nonstop lineup of shit:https://store.steampowered.com/search/?hwtype=0&category1=998&supportedlang=english&developer=AMPLITUDE+Studios&ndl=1They are incapable of making a good game.
>>2457628The Endless series downfall feels very artificial. Like those conspiracy theories where black ops teams raid a government and replace them with body snatchers. The series was never super good but it filled a niche and now even that is gone.
>>2456725The gameplay is only okay. The main appeal is, like all the other Endless games, in the story and lore. If those elements don't interest you then you won't like the game.
