I had an Atari computer, then a Tandy 286.  Bling.

First experience with the extradimensional invaders.  My first fleet got destroyed easily.  Second one messed up a bunch of their 72k fleets before I withdrew the remnants.  the AI are uninterested in fighting them off, so I'm letting the Unbidden fuck up the larger AI kingdoms for a bit before taking out their portal.
PDH!

QuoteParadox Development Studio will soon release the first Species Pack for its hit science fiction strategy game, Stellaris. Species Packs will give players new phenotypes to play with as they expand across the galaxy.

This first species pack will be called Plantoids, and, as its name suggests, will introduce sentient plant life to the universe of Stellaris. Instead of becoming salad or animal fodder, these plants have reached for the stars and begun to spread their tendrils across the galaxy, planting the roots of new civilizations on new planets.

Our talented artists have put together fifteen new portraits, an original cityscape backdrop, and stunning new ship models for your new neighbors.​

I thought people played computer games to get away from eggplant invasions?

Not really surprising that they would add content like this in DLCs. I will wait until they release their first game mechanics DLC though.

Yeah, I was all "Cool a DLC....wait, what?"

Is this game worth it?

The novelty wears off fast.  I recommend waiting until they fix the victory conditions.

True. I'm dissapointed. Very limited. But seems to be a good game in there.

Gets dull fast.  Was absorbing at first.
PDH!

Seriously. This new patch really hates my computer. So many BSODs

My relationship with this game is weird. I have started countless saves, and I enjoy the first 10 hours or so of every game like very few others. But I never can't get past that.

It seems that I always start out bordering some kind species who's philosophy is diametrically oppose to mine.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You guys act like the game is broken or somehow crippled. It is perfectly fine, and works great - at least on my machine.

There is plenty of room for more of course, but in its state right now it is the best 4x game I've ever played.

The victory conditions are broken/entirely unfun. Games need to have some endpoint or else they are broken. My game has completely stagnated with my civ constantly researching the repeatable techs. It would take me 1000 hours to conquer the galaxy. It's incomplete.

And that's before getting into all the broken mechanics with sector management and general micromanagement that I'd rather chew my arm off than continue my game.
