Rule of thumb for Paradox games is that they're only worth it after five expansions.
I don't think the console version has that many

>paradox games on console
why? they're unplayable without m&k, require a shitload of processor power to run at a decent speed and one of the only good things they do is make their games easy to mod

>Playing RTS on a console
Just don't

Enjoy our rotting scraps!
Ian Parker
That rule certainly doesn't apply here - Stellaris's most recent expansions have made the game progressively worse and it's now in a completely broken state.
Console version should be pretty good if it's based on somewhere around patch 1.8-1.9.
Justin Gonzalez
They ruined the game with their updates and casualized it. Unironically removed gameplay elements to “simplify” it. It’s shit.
Luis Wilson
How the fuck is this gonna work on consoles
Brandon Garcia
>game is already virtually unplayable on pc due to retard-tier pathing algorithms
>lets put it on console
Dominic Howard
does it come with a mouse and keyboard? I can't imagine navigating all the menus without a mouse.
William Gomez
It’s not worth it in any shape or form, it’s worse than it has ever been.
Jack Butler
Stellaris was fun before 2.0 ruined everything. It moves and an absolute snails pace now and is incredibly tedious.
Nathaniel Lee
Explain to me exactly what cookie cutter placeholder shit they removed to make it MORE casual please. Im very curious to hear what riveting aspects of the base game play was so good for you that you only dropped the game only AFTER it was removed
Tyler Mitchell
Patches ruined it

These games are processor dependent. Can the PS4 and Xbone's CPUs even handle these games, without the game taking ages to do anything?
Juan Brown
it's more of an issue that they replaced the tile system with something worse in literally every way
it manages to simultaneously be harder to run by a computer and less complex for humans
Henry James
patched ruined the game, world management is now super complicated for no reason
Leo Davis
The pc is on patch 2.2, console is going to be 1.6 or 1.7. The fucking performance is abysmal on pc on the current patch but you still get fanboys defending pdx because of muh calculations.
Camden Russell
Ai cant even manage stability n crime
Also FUCK pirates
Daniel Gray
The Ai cheats anyway and the tile system was absolutely garbage. You are literally picking between gold farm, mineral farm, or science farm. Pausing the game ever 4 minutes so I could upgrade [resource gatherer subtype B] on all 11 planets made me drop the game forever. Just kidding, it was the enemy AI sitting its fleets above worlds and doing absolutely nothing with them.
The read blue pill is getting the radar mega structure and seeing what the AI does with its time. They should have made the game TURN based and gave the AI all the time it fucking needs. I honestly doesn't understand what they were thinking.
Blake Lewis
Also they removed the three types and FTL which always pissed me off; why not just have it as an option as to what type of FTL's worked in game? Why be a cunt about it?
Blake Hernandez
Which is worse performance wise, Stellaris after that patch, or CK2 after they added India?
Christopher Jones
The new population system is more complex, not less. People whining about it are shitters.
Jack Howard
REAL TALK: The AI could not handle that at all and made federations using multiple travel types worthless. If you play big daddy go it alone galactic conqueror its not an issue but if you tried teaming up with the AI or the game needed to team up vs you, it was absolutely impossible.
They must have fired everyone who worked on the AI right after launch because they NEVER tackled any of these core issues and just kept pumping out cosmetic DLCs. I dont get why they think putting out a "ai++ overhaul" DLC wouldn't sell.
Adrian Myers
Oh, that's rather irritating, one of the aspects I really liked was trying to plan around other users and their different FTL types. Fucking Paradox.
Asher Edwards
I'm just waiting for Imperator. Hope it will be beast
Wyatt Butler
>retarded pop system
Why even bother if its not Vic 2 tier?
Jose Wilson
That game is best played with mods.
Can you get mods on the console version?
No?
Well there's your answer.
Hunter Reed
Is Zenith a good mod?
William Sullivan
For the record, if you start playing it right now none of the "patches ruined it" issues affect you. I bought it two weeks ago exactly and have played for 138 hours and I really just can't stop having fun.
Eli Robinson
I want it 4 the porn mods
Asher Smith
Then off to the loverslab with you!
