Star Trek: Infinite discussion
Star Trek: Infinite discussion
Paradox Interactive is a world leading PC games publisher known for games such as Cities: Skylines, Europa Universalis and Crusader Kings.
Thought I would make a discussion thread for the new game since I didn't see one up. I haven't picked it up yet, was planning on getting it this weekend. I'm curious what any Trekkies who've also played Stellaris think of it. Is it worth getting?
You're viewing a single thread.
In my opinion the Stellaris mod Star Trek New Civilizations is much much better. It actually uses the current version of Stellaris as a base, you can play literally any species in Star Trek, and the mechanics are just great. The game starts in 2150, before the Federation is founded and you (or the AI) actually have to form it as one of the canon founding members, and you can also play as Klingons, Doninion or Borg, all with some unique mechanics. In comparison Star Trek Infinite is not worth it, considering there is a free mod for Stellaris that does almost everything better.
I agree with this entire post. I love how you can recognize the episodes they made into anomalies.
freeware mods continue to be the cradle of game development innovation
Id bet the limited features in this official stellaris mod are held back DLC and concessions to Paramount. Money choices over art.
Mods let people bring art back into buisness. People can make what is actually good without having to worry about making money, or paying someone else money for the privilege of making art.
