SPAAAAAACE

Have there been any good Sci-fi games in the last 5 years?

I actually can't recall any decent sci-fi games from 2013 tbh

what kind of scifi do you want

Good fucking movie

space exploration, perhaps light combat.

10/10 imo, just watched it and it made me remember just how good the genre could be.

There haven't been any good games in the last 5 years.

...

Endless Space

are you guys being ironic? it was one of the worst movies i have had the misfortune of watching

hehe

...

I too hope they are shitposting. I was disappointed by the movie and I have a pretty fucking low bar.

Don't post cuckchan posts.

It really does look like shrek. Incidentally shrek was a book about a profoundly ugly monster.

...

What did he mean by this? No seriously, why are these two things mutually exclusive?

NEVER EVER

the most redeeming quality of the movie was that they got tidal forces and time dilation right. but then they ruined muh realism with stupid black hole shit that doesn't make sense at all
t. a guy with a degree in physics

The thing that angered me most was they pull a bootstraps paradox, especially when everyone was salivating over how "accurate" the movie was.

the prey reboot, you might not believe me but pirate it and find out nigger

...

nah, shit to mediocre at best

nope, too much muh realism tryharding, about as good as actual plane simulators

I respectfully disagree. Endless Space 1 is fucking dope.

This looks too mega autistic for me, but I like that it exists

Listen, I get the idea and it's great. But if we ever get actual space navies humanity isn't autistic enough to just make a cylinder. We make weapons of war that look cool, not just functional.

ES1 is vanilla Civ V tier, avoid. EL and later ES2 are both much better.
.t. actually likes ES1

Subnautica
Unfortunately the lead dev is a cuck

How fucking old are you?

...

and since then we've had only reddit tag, Mel and some time manipulation, as mods.

Jesus Christ. Is it a conventional, rail or coil? I have got to see the stats on that whore.

My best gun is a 8mm rail turret that flings 20kg tungsten kkv's. Gets 5.53km/s muzzle velocity and a range just shy of 34km. Halfnia op, pls nevr nerf!11

t. literal shiteating pleb retard

It can be as autistic as you want it to be. You don't have to design and plan your own reactors, coilguns or NERVA engine. Many of the stock space craft are shockingly fun to bash against each other in earth orbit.

have you joined the star cult yet user?

what is this? anything like KSP?

Actual space combat would be boring as shit; Space navies would watch each other approaching over the course of decades, reach effective laser weapons range (even the most precise laser will have some angle of divergence), and then proceed to haphazardly fire all over the place hoping that they successfully predicted where the enemy will be in a year's time. Both fleets would probably also have deployed shield mirrors to scatter the initial laser volley anyway forcing them to spend the next 5 years moving into missile range, watch the exchange of fire as the volleys meet in the middle in the middle, and then wait for the inevitable barrage of destruction to come raining down after a year or so crippling both sides beyond repair.

And with FTL it becomes downright depressing: the enemy sees you first, sends a giant disco ball of destruction that can only be detected when it arrives, which then proceeds to scatter death and destruction throughout a starsystem in a matter of minutes. It's nuclear prisoner's dilemma where the person who shoots first always wins.

so no LoGH?

I say, Stellaris was close to it, but it happened to be a Paradox game…

I didn't like stellaris. I still put 256 hours into it, but I realised at the end that I'd basically done everything there was to do. The game is slow. You barely have to concentrate on it, I usually had a lecture or something going on my 2nd monitor because you don't have to concentrate on the game that hard. War is bashing big numbers against each other and last time I checked, ship design was either rushing lances/kinetic artillery, or massing the starter corvette because HIGHER TECH COMPONENTS ARE RESOURCE INEFFICIENT WHO THE FUCK DESIGNED THIS?

A rough diamond is Star Ruler 2, but the devs got shit on by game journalists, because they were "too small to worth reporting", so the studio shut down some time after releasing the first expansion. It's still a complete, really fun game but the lack of polish does occasionally show itself.

One of the best cinematic experiences I've ever had. Outside of theaters, it's pretty shit.

Children of A Dead Earth.

Only in the sense that you can design your starship and it's components. Outside of that, it's not even close.

CoAD uses full Newtonian physics as opposed to KSP's patched conic approximation.

In english; CoAD is more a sim, than KSP and not nearly as forgiving.

If you've ever wondered what possible space war would look like with tech both real(nuclear thermal engines are 60's tech) and theoretical(fusion and torch mods)? Than this is for you.

This would be true if not for the fact that lasers are hideously handicapped by heat and diffusion of the beam over stellar ranges.

I will look into it, thanks user!

Stellaris is kinda the TES game of the space genre. If you play the vanilla then you are a fucking moron. But ven with mods and porn mds its a repetitive and boring piece of shit looked behind hunderd of paid dlc and patch. Not a full game!

It's not that easy to find people to play with, but they are out there and the game is pretty fucking fun. Just don't do some insane 1000 star system game right off the bat. You'll overwhelm yourself.

Even worse about sellaris is that all the AIs that spawn near you go out of their way to block you from expanding. So if you get two of them spawned on top of you, you need to immediately kill one so that your game doesn't become unwinnable.

I haven't played for a while; is losing the 1st big fleet battle basically game (or at least war) over?

That's another thing that SR does better; unless you colossally/continually fuck something up you can turn wars around. The AI isn't that great at protecting its commerce so if you can manage to hold the line you can fuck their economy.

Nope, since it was made by swedish cucks, you have an option to play as the AIs cumslut. It's pretty much teach you what await for the defeated since your empire will be sucked dry and you will be disposed as soon as a stronger enemy attacks your overlord.

However, if you have a porn mode you can out fuck your despot and racemix the shit out of them. At the end it will be like America nowadays. white only by name, but in reality it's a latino colony.

what I really want to see is semi-real near future spess adventure, alike the expanse

I've been tempted to watch that, but I hear it's getting poz.

Middle act is pretty fkn great. 1st and 3rd are unwatchable on 2nd viewing.

I liked that.

First two seasons were really good. They turned the poz up really fucking hard in season 3, still got most of the way through it. Have yet to watch season four.

fuck that channel, you should just watch old shows and japanese cartoons

Reminder that it’s ugly on purpose, because beauty is fascist and the concept of objective beauty is the opposite of communistic.

...

There hasn't been a good space game in years. Stellaris came close to it and even that failed because >lol paradox. It's still a good game to sink many hours in, but you'll soon realize its many flaws. And it has mods, i guess, although if you pirate it you have to get them from a .ru website so good luck with that.
I tried to get into distant wolrd but as soon as you get past the initial complexity you find out that too is flawed with MANY kinds of bullshit. The AI is either retarded or prints out ships out of nowhere, UI can be a nightmare and overall the games simply fail to entertain once you get some sort of routine going.

Endless space is total garbage, i haven't been disappointed in a game in such a long time. I'd unironically kill the developers just for the choices they made, from artstyle to gameplay. Someone mentioned sword of the stars 2 and if you're reading save yourself the time, it's a buggy clunky mess that is not worth the time it takes to download it.

It's a dead genre.

No. Space is boring.

the movie had its flaws but youd have to be a huge fucking shitter to think it was actually bad
you are objectively wrong if you believe otherwise

...

Children of Dead Earth is a super realistic orbital jousting simulator
the only thing it has in common with KSP is that it uses orbital mechanics in its core gameplay loop
its so autistic you can adjust the specific shape of the exhaust nozzle of a craft and design nuclear payloads from the ground up

Star Ruler 2 devs got what they deserved
instead of improving on the formula and ironing out the retardation from Star Ruler, they pulled a SupCom 2: Space Edition and what they had in the end was an across the board inferior SoASE

nigga is "unpack files in 2 different folders" and youre done
its more fiddly with online play but you can actually play it online over steamworks with mods and all that jazz

Mate the games are not that similar.

I meant to say SotS but thought of SoASE for some reason

LOGH is kinds the first. Battles last long, there's a lot of moving and dodging. It takes hours for fleets to move.

i like this meme

THATS CASUAL PUSSY TALK
GET OUT OF HERE NORMIE FAGGOT

WTF? never even knew season 3 and 4 were done already

its bretty good, I was letdown by losing the best character on the show
but I like that they try to make it realistic space travel, they drive that has strong push and efficient enough to sustain travel throughout the solar system
they have believable space settlements, like colonizing Saturn's moons, mining asteroids for water and such things
and pretty cool meta to the universe, like people who grew in the "belts" having elongated and weekend limbs because of the low gravity, and people from mars having a hard time adjusting to earth's atmosphere

wut? lol that is truely epic
anything looks awesome with so much camera angles
and to be honest I kind like seeing the stuff, even for regular this age's space ships
did anyone in the thread even watch Space Odyssey?

I prefer this one

Next time any of you cry about the state of Holla Forums anons, take a long good hard look at yourselves.
