6.3

Mass Effect 3 was barely a 5/10. The writing and plot holes alone killed that game, not to mention the rough game play.

Mass Effect 3 was awesome and very fair at 9.5 by IGN, which i agree with. EU4 was also pretty accurate at 8.9 by IGN. Stellaris 6.3 by IGN, and I expect many more will agree once the hype and fanboys are no longer flaring.

you'll be waiting a long time for that, This is a much better game than EU4, in fact, I hope they are already working on an earth history game, maybe even EU5 using stellaris mechanics. Even at this point it's better than eu4. won't even be close after a few years of patches and DLCs...

Heck, the reviewe'rs complaints could easily been applied to eu4 at launch, and been far truer words than applying them to Stellaris as of now.... AI was much worse....And depending on how you played, you could either never get in a war, or destroyed very early. in stellaris, starting settings matter a whole bunch more, since there ins't a presaved map. and by far, a lot more bugs...

sandman keeps talking about logic, but there is nothing more illogical than giving this a low score and EU4 a high one....

I was very disappointed in CK2, but I'd never have given that game ridiculous low score. A pro reviewer shouldn't ever judge a game on his expectations. He wanted ck2 in space, and he didn't get it... personally i'm glad they didn't go that route.

Well, lets hope Paradox will adress the points of IGN critic very seriously in one or more DLCs. :) For me the IGN review is ok. I dont care because I have already my own opinion about Stellaris which is quite good. Today many people are making their buying decisions not because of 1 negative review of a lonely reviewer in a mag, but because 5k very positive reviews after only the first day of release. Swarm intelligence is the future.

well thing is..theres been other 4x rts that has come out before but dont gain much traction..the reason this one did is because paradox has a unique player base with ck2 and eu4 so they have loyal fanboys...so the hype from them..helped this game get more attention than what a usual 4x space game would get..unless its allready an established ip but for a new game...nah not happening..and yeah those first day reviews..i saw hundreds of reviews with less than an hour for stellaris lol..thats the paradox fanboys..and that helps promote the game big time. and i find it amusing how all of them have accepted that paradox will fix any shortcomings in DLCS like wth? how is that remotely ok? DLCS is to enhance the game..not to fix its shortcomings. meh

Nobody reads IGN. These are the same people who gave mars effect 3 a 10/10, so their "reviews" are nothing but paid ads dressed up as journalism. Paradox must not have paid them enough for a 10/10 score.

What's wrong with Mass Effect 3's 10/10 score? Other than you don't agree with it of course. Was there something wrong with the Stellaris review that you disagreed with other than score? As in what part of the 1,500 word review did you find inaccurate?

Lots of plot holes (how did the reapers come back when every way they could were disrupted in ME1/ME2 ????? Also, what was the illusive man after, eh ? Surely spent ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of money to fix Shepard, only to end the way he did ? No, sorry, doesn't compute) and absolutely abysmall ending, without any influence of whatever happened before, despite claims from the devs.

Why are you guys still talking about this? Paradox supported the IGN reviewer, and distanced themselves from gamers that were harrasing him due to review and score he gave to this game.
Makers of this game made their decision, and IMO they reacted and only reasonable and mature manner. There is nothing to discuss anymore, you are just doing them disservice by contunuing with this...

So you didn't like the story? Got it. I thought it was something tangible like broken gameplay, bad bugs, or inoperable game mechanics.

You didn't like the movie. Cool. Doesn't mean every review should slam it.

Maybe the Paradox employee who wrote it is "paid off"?

[Keviin Sorbo]

yes must be paid off no other logical reasoning behind it lol

[Sandman]

I'm starting to see more and more users say the exact same stuff that is said in the IGN review.

Do people still think the reviewer was "paid off" to write the critique of the game?

I hope they don't. I've been saying from launch that midgame needs work. Early and late game function well, even the lead dev acknowledged that midgame was going to need some work.

[RodHull]

In their own dev posts they confirmed mid game is lacking, it basically has an entire system missing which is supposed to create mid game drama called colony events, these are planned for the second major patch I believe so probably late summer or early autumn

So yes in that respect this review and pc gamer (70%) were correct, personally id give it 7.5 out of 10 still think 6.3 is harsh cause for all its awful and missing bits, the other bits are awesome imo

[Kortak]

IGN lol...like anyone cares what they say...

anyways..i want

- More options while creating my universe. especially distance between stars and no. of ai in the neighbourhood when i start.
