This game seems very interesting to me, I've tried to check out what it is like through youtube but all the videos are 40+ minutes long, and I'm afraid I simply don't have the time to check them out one by one. Still I'm not sure whether I know anything about 4X games or whether or not I should get this game. I found out about Galactic Civilizations last year when I bought Sins of A Solar Empire. I liked Sins of A Solar Empire a lot, but I found out Galactic Civilizations III was turn based. I haven't played many turn based games, so naturally I don't know a lot about them. I think the only turn based game I know well is XCOM, and I'm not sure this is anything at all like XCOM.
Is this game anything like XCOM and Sins of a Solar Empire? I tend to prefer games that are long, that offer customization, progression and freedom to be honest, for that matter I'm not really a fan of many of the popular games today, like the bunch of shooters out there on the market. I'm sure this game is nothing like that, but it is still completely alien to me.
