I always loved the Umbral Choir. The concept of a 'lovecraftian looking space-consciousness' that heard and felt the deathscream of the Endless civilization as it broke down and annihilated itself, caused the Umbral Choir to travel to the Endless Galaxy in order to try and save it... arriving far too late of course to save the endless, but the young races that came after might just be saved instead. It's kinda sweet... it a spooky machine-virus type way.
@@SomeKrieger That depends on Perspective and how they perceived time, space and such. Cuz Spooky Machine-tech-ghosts might not really understand the concept of life, death, a finite lifespan, etc.
35:00 "I did like civ until I realized I hate it because diplomacy is mind numbing, you can't get anything done." Name me a 4X game with AI diplomacy where that isn't the case.
Alpha Centauri. All four victory types (diplomatic, economic, military and Transcendence) are absolutely viable if you know what you're doing and planning your goals accordingly. What a game. One of a kind.
25:05 the plus side is after you do it you can colonize every planet in the system you have technology for INSTANTLY. And by the way Isyander situation is better now. He is not that much of a dick anymore.
I admit I wasn't a fan of this type of game until after I played Stellaris. then I ended up playing it with mods. sometimes I'd get my arse kicked, sometimes I'd have a golden run. I remember this one run with the gigastructures mod. I was so close to winning the game via conquest.... then I built the quasi-stellar obliterator without knowing how the entire galaxy would react. I might give this game a try soon
@@OldManReacts When I tried picking up W40k, I bought a few T'au models because I thought they looked nicer compared to the other factions. More than half the store groaned or made disgusted faces when they saw my purchase. I never went back.
Here's what I don't understand: If the space is endless, then how can there be a second one? There can't be an Endless Space 2, because the first Space was already Endless.

Hol up so their just techno nids??
@@pinkbosschanel More like 'what if the Warp had a collective consciousness and was benevolent'.
Ngl by time they heard the death scream chances are several civilizations had risen and fallen only to be forgotten by time

Careful, if you say tzeentach's name wrong aloud too many times, you'll summon a lord of change
Or you might not, all depends
Reality is such a fickle thing
@@reliantbelial2341 what is reality anyway?

What's particularly annoying about Civ is that you get shamed for winning through conquest when that's pretty much the *only* viable way *to* win.
@@brigidtheirish Nah, I usually went for science victory. That can still be done in isolation and you only need enough military for bare defense.
@@DeHerg Huh. I never managed it. Maybe I just haven't figured out how.
You probably always had Gandi as an opposing player.

Got me with that thumbnail art.

Have you seen The Roboutian Heresy EXPLAINED by an Australian? Other then that, keep doing a great job with… stuff and… even more stuff

Sseth: What do you do in Endless Space 2?
Old Man: You Traverse The Endless Space?

So the Hissho are basically warrior 🗡 space turkeys? 🦃
add "weaboo" to the mix and you're done
Hissho are Space Aztec Samurai that happen to be birds... and were created by the Endless for _gladitorial entertainment_ back in the day.

God, I'm so glad they've finally fixed Awakening, I really like the Nakalim

You seem like the kind of guy that goes around the store throwing a hissy fit when you see someone paint a T'au model.
Pure unfiltered rage, 100%. It's a long story though, mainly about my first gaming store. It's actually based in fun times.

I think you misunderstood all that warmongering talk. They were just following their religion. Denouncing Venice
At least they weren't Boat Mormons
I see you.

Uhhh trust me on the last 2 of the games he showed on 18:48, you DON’T want to know
I wanna know
sauce plz
Looks like one horror game, one adventure one, and a strategy/conquest game. Rather curious on the first two I listed.
this seem's like a differnt type of Warhammer game if their was a option for diplomacy for most factions
tell me I'm wrong
Fish mommy.
Yes.
ah yes, thats the stuff. darth sidious levels of fun if it comes together or darth vader levels of frustration if you mess up. dew it
14:44 I think I know which option Old Man Reacts would pick.
Can I make a video Request here ? If so can you react Dornian or Roboutian Heresy by majorkill
Got to watch caves of Qud episode. But you're pretty busy as is
Try endless legend if you haven't.
maybe try some distant worlds 2?
Oddly enough I tried to play this game however when I end my turn the game just stops. Do you know how that is fixed?
Isyander reminds me of EA.
Nickle and dime at every opportunity 🤣🤣
