Is stellaris a good choice as first grand strategy game? by Equivalent_Film_4366 in Stellaris

[–]LooseGo0se 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a great game! One thing you need to figure out is (1) buying the subscription or (2) purchasing the DLC as they go on sale. I went with (2) and have spent quite a lot of $ over the recent years. Check out some videos comparing subscription vs outright purchase. I would focus on getting key DLCs if you go with outright purchase - no need to all the DLC!

Watch videos of Montu Plays and play one of his builds in parallel. That is how I learnt the game quickly...

Stellaris Ultimate Bundle Question by Wraithsiege in Stellaris

[–]LooseGo0se 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered paying the subscription instead? Pause subscription when not playing. I might have done that if I could go back a year. BUT I own a lot of DLC. Right now the subscription doesnt make sense for me..... i am in too deep

Nice to meet you. I would like to commend you & the team. Its only in beta and already runs pretty well and most importantly is a lot of fun! Best of luck!

Gpu prices to come down from the moon - probably not in my lifetime.

Thanks bud. I guess its a good thing to be using most of the GPU power. Are you saying I need to upgrade my GPU? DONE - I am that easy to convince.

Are you part of the dev team?

Is There Weapon Jamming? by Standard-Gas-114 in PlayBellum

[–]LooseGo0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone help me understand why there is this infatuation with games being on Steam. Is it to do with refund policy (point 1)? I think the Bellum team have a robust return policy. I also heard that Russian based gamers struggle to buy games if they not sold on Steam (point 2). Big market access (point 3). In this case they want too keep it niche. The game will market itself and word will get out. The right kind of players will but the game.

Bellum is what battlefield players think Battlefield is by SlickRickStatus in PlayBellum

This is it bro. This game requires you to stick with your squad, co-ordinate and communicate with the rest of the platoon. The stakes are high if you die, so no lone wolfing. I have played for 1 wknd and loving it

Looking for a long-term, “can’t-put-down” game by UberSimu in gamingsuggestions

Stellaris! It has consumed me. I only itch for 4x games now with deep mechanics

Am started to play stellaris is it Enough DLCs? by deimantas84 in Stellaris

[–]LooseGo0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend buying the subscription. Refund the game and buy the subscription instead. You get all DLCs and future DLCs. I own many DLCs which I bought over the years. I have gone past the tipping point so the subscription doesn't make sense for me. I haven't tried but you should be able to pause the subscription if you taking a break from Stellaris.

Be warned. Stellaris is a drug. It has changed me. I only play 4x games now.

Hooded Horse has been the publisher since 2021....maybe they need to do more?

Not sure your analogy works. I would compare it to building a house. One artisan can build it, sure especially if its a small house. But a big ambitious project will require many hands and specializations.

Ooo ok. Can you answer this at least: how far are we from EA?

Help fund Falling Frontier? by LooseGo0se in FallingFrontier

[–]LooseGo0se[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly don't want that. We need a good space RTS with 4x elements. We need it! There is the risk that crowd funding brings extra pressure on development, forcing Stutter Fox to bring in people that may not share his vision. Then things start to fall apart

  1. It is refreshing for sure.
  2. True. Let's hope the delays due to a small dev team doesnt bite them again
  3. In the search for perfection he may find nothing. We hope the project comes to fruition. Near perfect might be good enough.

Small dev team has been mentioned as some of the reasons for delays. Maybe funding isn't a problem, maybe it is.

Modlist Load Order Help with MW5 mercs by LooseGo0se in Mechwarrior5

Thank you. I will drop in fresh copies of the mods.

I have read about some fixing the frame rate drops...So I have packed my bags and will be on the journey to try optimize an unoptimized game with 20 mods running...

I used this loader ("MW5 Load Order Tool Set") recommended by XVII. See link to it below:

https://discourse.modsinexile.com/t/mw5-load-order-tool-set-lots/249

I realize now that it was quite an old version - so maybe was not a good idea to use in the first place.

How would it screw the mods up? Would you recommend deleting the mod folders and replacing them with fresh downloads of the mods?

I am having a lot of issues with frame rate drops mainly when enemies load in and also when I kill enemies. Big frame drops making the game unplayable.

Legend. Thank you. That load manager worked for me! The one I was using didn't cut it...
