Stellaris is one of the best games I've ever played...
You make that Amazon review yet?

Heehee you may be one of the few who'd get the reference.

I clearly got it, I just wasn't as showy. <_<

Yeah. I saw that and went back and edited my post. I didn't see the earliest responses.  :cry:

Ok, preordered it. All the games I have got on release day since 2011 have been either created or distributed by Paradox. Okay, that's a grand total of three games, but still :D

Can't you get it on Steam? I mean I used to pre-order to secure my box at the store but without a limitation on the inventory involved I don't get the point of pre-ordering anything.

I think you get a special avatar or something if you pre-order.

yeah, i don't understand the rush to pre-order online stuff.

I was going to get it on release day anyway, so might as well get the (largely irrelevant) pre-order bonuses.

These days I prefer to wait a little bit to see how much people on the internet like it :P

The reviews usually come out a day or two before release.

Granted this is probably a 'buy anyway' title for most of us.

Yeah, that's what I usually do. I mean, 90% of the games I pick up are under 10€ during sales years after their release, but Paradox have me hook, line and sinker with this one.

Hell, I don't even like Paradox games & I am going to buy this.

You get five or six extra species. Though I assume they'll sell them seperately as a DLC later on for people who missed the release.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

To be honest, I kind of expect it to be buggy and have weak AI upon release, but there seem to be so many options as to how to customize your race and society (and galaxy) that those alone will be worth playing around with until the patches/DLCs start coming out.

Josephus

It will probably take me four months just to get the hang of how to play it.

Then they'll release a DLC and change all the rules :lol:
