uh oh...6.3 from IGN. Too complicated for them?

I'm shocked.... LOL... they rated The Park, Battleborn, and The Division higher......   ::)

PCWorld rates it higher... 4/5 stars... but has the same mid-game and diplomacy criticisms....

Adam Smith's generally very positive review at RPS -- though feels like it only scratches the surface of what the game offers (no discussion of POPs for example, unless I overlooked):

I have no doubt that Pdox will continue to flesh out some of the less developed systems like trade or even ship combat through DLC and expansions, just as they have for EUIV and CKII. It sounds like the foundation of the game is rock solid, which is really all that matters to me now.

Guess Paradox didn't pay the IGN tax for a good review. I stopped paying attention to what IGN and especially Rowan Kaisaer has to say a long time ago.

IGN, GameSpot, the likes of them are on my ignore list for quite a while now.  O0

It seems to me that he does have valid points and he says that he has played more than 50 hours of it. Of course, personal perception is different. Looking forward to read what you guys think.

I always find it interesting how opinions can vary so greatly. Reading the IGN review I was troubled. Switching over to the space sector review had my hopes up again. One guy says it totally misses the mark, while the other says it is the best 4x he has played...ever.

I don't give a shit what reviews say.  Normally I would rely on you guys. :)

Anyway...according to the review thread at reddit ign is very much the outlier.  Everyone else has given 8 or 9.

Well considering they (ign) spend 95% of their time on fps's I'm not really surprised... And it makes it that much easier to ignore.

[sandman2575]

Steam still not indicating when Stallaris unlocks?  "Available 9 May, 2016."  That's not cutting it for us obsessive-neurotic types!

According to Troy Goodfellow, soon....
