			<description><![CDATA[<div class="quotebox"><blockquote><div><p>How you find time for Gentoo and impressive playing experience?</p></div></blockquote></div><p>Like I said, Gentoo isn&#039;t really a time-sink once you have it set up the way you want it.</p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><div><p>what you can say about Galactic Civilization 4 and Endless Space 2</p></div></blockquote></div><p>Endless Space 2 is on my GoG wishlist awaiting a decent discount, and Galactic Civilization 4 appears to be steam-only, DLC-everything, and kinda expensive... so I haven&#039;t paid it much attention. <br />Time is finite and games that are both steam-free and GNU/Linux native take priority. Stellaris is both, so that&#039;s the 4X I&#039;ve been playing most recently. vOv</p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><div><p>MoO2</p></div></blockquote></div><p>Is a classic for sure, and I did play it way-back-when (didn&#039;t everyone?). But it&#039;s also a 4X/grand strategy, so a comparison to Stellaris might be apt but one to Starsector is not.<br />Starsector is not a 4X (though there is a mod to add 4X elements), nor is it really a strategy game. The real-time arcade(ish) fleet combat is the core, and while you can play that a bit like an RTS it&#039;s at its best when you&#039;re piloting a ship directly.<br />My comparison to Star Control might not have been ideal, I was thinking specifically of the top-down combat in SC 1 &amp; 2, or SC2 gameplay overall - which is more action-adventure than strategy.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>@<strong>steve_v</strong><br />Thanks you man for yours useful replays. And sorry me for my late replays. In my country now war and i have many problems such as electricity, mental state and also dificults with language barrier, i am not native English speaker.</p><p>How you find time for Gentoo and impressive playing experience? <img src="https://dev1galaxy.org/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><div><p>Aren&#039;t really comparable. Stellaris is just a 4X, but it&#039;s a very good and very deep 4X, and I like SciFi settings. The DLC-gouging gets a bit much though.</p></div></blockquote></div><p>and what you can say about Galactic Civilization 4 and Endless Space 2?</p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><div><p>Starsector is something else, and there&#039;s not really anything else like it. Take old-school Star Control top-down combat, add deep ship customisation and fleet mechanics, throw it in a trading/exploration RPG-lite overworld, and you have... Genius. Or Mount &amp; Blade in space, as you prefer.</p></div></blockquote></div><p>why not MoO2?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<div class="quotebox"><blockquote><div><p>Rimworld</p></div></blockquote></div><p>Is whatever you want it to be, from peaceful village-builder to organ-harvesting cannibal death-cult. IMO mods are needed to get the best from the game though. The modding scene is nuts, easily the biggest and best of any game I have played.<br />if you like Dwarf Fortress, you&#039;ll like Rimworld. If you don&#039;t like Dwarf Fortress... You&#039;ll probably still like Rimworld.</p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><div><p>Starsector, Stellaris</p></div></blockquote></div><p>Aren&#039;t really comparable. Stellaris is just a 4X, but it&#039;s a very good and very deep 4X, and I like SciFi settings. The DLC-gouging gets a bit much though.<br />Starsector is something else, and there&#039;s not really anything else like it. Take old-school Star Control top-down combat, add deep ship customisation and fleet mechanics, throw it in a trading/exploration RPG-lite overworld, and you have... Genius. Or Mount &amp; Blade in space, as you prefer.<br />If you haven&#039;t played it, play it. It&#039;s cheap, and it&#039;s <em>exceptional</em> value.</p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><div><p>Grim Dawn</p></div></blockquote></div><p>The Diablo 3 that should have been, what else is there to say. Classic loot-goblin ARPG gameplay, a truly insane amount of content, and zero bullshit.</p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><div><p>Eve Online</p></div></blockquote></div><p>I don&#039;t really do MMOs any more, but Eve is the original (destroyer of all free time). DO NOT start playing Eve if you have a life. <img src="https://dev1galaxy.org/img/smilies/tongue.png" width="15" height="15" alt="tongue" /> <br />Seriously though, if you like player-driven MMOs, it&#039;s the OG and the namesake for the &quot;massive&quot; part of the acronym... Runs on a literal supercomputer, and is pretty much the only place that thousands of players and the equivalent of 6-figures real-world cash can go down in flames in a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_B-R5RB" rel="nofollow">single battle</a>.</p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><div><p>X4, X3</p></div></blockquote></div><p>Indie, janky, completely unique. Kind of a 1st-person 4X sandbox I guess. <br />Decent combat from dogfights to massive fleet engagements (if you excuse the AutoPillock), with a fully simulated economy and the ability to buy (or steal) pretty much every ship in the game, or build an empire to rival entire species. <br />Story is so-so, but that&#039;s not the point.<br />Mods are many and awesome, the latest iteration of X3 is actually an &quot;official&quot; mod and it&#039;s the best the game has ever been.<br />IMO X3 is still better than X4 in terms of gameplay and polish, but the latter is slowly getting there. Egosoft has a history of supporting their games with updates and patches for decades after release, so I&#039;m still mostly optimistic it&#039;ll exceed its predecessor.</p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><div><p>Space Engineers</p></div></blockquote></div><p>Fun physics sandbox so far, but also appears to be designed to be as annoying as possible. Like I said, undecided. <br />Good enough to be worth the purchase price IMO, but unfortunately also into the DLC-gouging thing.</p>]]></description>
