Going to give this game a chance

Posted on Monday, March 10, 2014

Hello everybody, I am a gamer who has burned so many times by the likes of EA Games (Command & Conquer 4, Battlefield 4, etc), and Activision (Every Call of Duty after Modern Warfare 2) and much more. I remember a time when game developers used to strive for excellence over massive profit, and this morning after playing a round of BF4 where the servers crashed (again) like a bag of motivated evil bricks (DICE really screwed the game up even more last patch  ). While cursing the gaming gods for tricking me out of my money, I remembered a game from a long time ago, Galciv2. That it had depth and complexity, sure it wasn't the prettiest thing out there, but was fun, despite how TERRIBLE I was at it. I was like a baby sea otter surrounded by polar bears armed with missile launchers sort of terrible. But even in defeat it was a good time.

 

So I decided to give a bit of a leap of faith in Stardock, and pre-order the game with the Founder Edition (Instead of buying Titanfall), and see whether spending my hard earned money on somewhat indie developer is the right thing to do. I'm a big fan of space games, and have grown tired of the same, shoot the guy with the red dot over his head game-play haunting the whole industry atm. I'm posting these words not out of wanting to be heard, but to remember if I'm right to support games like this, or to eat my own words if I'm wrong (probably gonna BBQ my computer screen with hot sauce with a side side salad if that happens). Really hope I'm right.
