![]() Nearly every title I listed off for you to use for comparison has more in common with Stellaris than Spore and EVE Online combined, and until you have played a few more games that are set in space, especially ones that would be closer to "apples to apples" comparisons than the "apples to carrots and kumquats" comparison you used, it sounds more like you were never interested in 'Space Games' and went out of your way to find some rather lackluster ones to justify the dislike. You used two very poor examples to explain why you generically hate 'Space Games', with one of the examples not even properly being what you called a 'Space Game' to start with, when neither example really had anything to do with the game this thread is about. If anything you sound more like a spoiled brat who just wants to complain. From what I've heard regarding Spore it is a 'God Game' where you are essentially a god creating new life, and aside from 4X games that let you create your own race there isn't much for similarity that I am aware of (and in the examples I used only Master of Orion allows that).ĮVE Online is a very challenging game to break into these days, but it's an MMORPG and most MMORPG's tend to no longer be new player friendly once they hit around 5 years old, and EVE Online is much older than that, so although I understand the dislike it still has some critical differences from the examples I gave above mostly due to the type of community it has developed and partially because of the way the game is meant to be enjoyed. Okay, I haven't played Spore, but what about it is a 'Space Game' as you put it? What gameplay features does it have in common with Star Trek Armada, X Rebirth, Star Craft, Master of Orion, Sins of a Solar Empire, Sword of the Stars, Star Wars: Empire at War, Space Empires V, or Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance? Those are all 'Space Games', and although several of them have things in common there are also a lot of variences (note: I stayed mostly with titles available through Steam, to make it easier for you to find comparisons). ![]() A few mournful experiences should never be enough to turn you off to a game, especially one of a completely different genre than those you mentioned. It's a legitimately wonderful genre that has been done right for years now. ![]() So don't take space games with such a grain of salt, man. Neither is really a good example of the genre. EVE Online on the other hand used to be a huge deal, but these days is hugely niche because 90% of the playerbase is those who have already been playing for years. It's space element is one of the main reasons people who stream or do let's plays of it never show that content. Even Fractured Space, and Star Conflict in it's prime are good examples. I'll follow it, and maybe buy it if it ever dips low enough on price, but otherwise it looks better as a Let's Play kind of a game.Įndless Space, X3, Elite Dangerous, and the Upcoming No Man's Sky are reasons I love space games. And games like EVE make space games even less attractive. ![]() Spore alone taught me not to be too excited about space games.
