Stellaris

Man, Sins is such an awesome game.

It really is brilliant. I always felt like it never quite got the recognition it deserved, but maybe that's just my subjective impression.

I used to play the Alkari a lot in the original MoO.  Get Inertial Stabilizers early on, with a fleet of small ships and weaponry that could cut through shields effectively, and they were almost invincible!

Until somebody was able to initiate ground combat somewhere, that was...

Although I didn't spend a lot of time with it, give credit to Endless Space for coming up with some creative races. Like the "Horatio" race of clones.

Hell yes.

Horatio was comically wonderful.  Because Horatio wants to turn everyone into Horatio.   ^-^

I'm definitely starting another ES campaign with them.  Because, deep down, we're all Horatio.

Its pretty interesting. The only game that I ever had any desire to play any race other than humans, was Master of Orion, where I would frequently choose to play as the Bulrathi.

Klackon for me. Early Access 3 is up today, so I might have to play another game of MoO.

OK, I got caught up on the hype train and pre-ordered, damn my weakness

I'm gonna be boarding before long, too.  Especially with the 25% off voucher from Green Man Gaming (wonder how much longer that's good for).

Watched the twitch steams of Hearts of Iron IV and Stellaris and decided to pre-order Stellaris and leave HOI IV alone  (1 army = 30 divisions without any command structure ??)

I'm wary of that one after Jarhead mentioned they wanted extra bank/card info directly from him to use it.

AFAIK nobody here has had an issue with it, but I'll stick with the outlets I know if possible.  Especially if they ask me for bank account verification, which sounded a bit sketchy.

[Tuna]

I used them twice before.. with Paypal.. and they were fine with my 'un verified' account.. which Green Man Gaming is not.

[JudgeDredd]

I paid with Paypal...however, I was a bit annoyed that they then requested I give them my number for them to call or text. As I had already paid at that point, I put my mobile in and received a text with the authentication code right away

However, I won't be using them again because of that cheap trick...and I call it "cheap trick" because there's no apparent reason for requiring sending an authentication code...the fact I paid (by Paypal or otherwise) should be authentication enough

No-one's fault but mine. I'm sure I knew about the "authentication" process with cdkeys...I'd just forgotten about it.
