@4tech69: Love to see that they're actually working on the AI. That is not often the case with other games. The AI is an often overlooked part of a game and in my opinion well worth putting considerable effort into. Please keep us updated on what you think of the improvements, thanks!
AI has always been an issue in strategy games - you simply cannot compare to Human Opponents. And on that note. CIV 5 at the higher difficulties was extremely fun. But heck, the AI had to essentially cheat in order to be a challenge - with the extra city start, resources, armies and so on. But as always, there is no point relying on one review if it comes down to putting cash on the game. Especially if you have mentioned your Bias of Stellaris. Eheh. :>c
One thing about amplitude is they tend to release a bunch of DLC for their games (which isn't a complaint, it's good they support them post launch). So I've found it's good to wait about a year after their game launches and then pick it up as a bundle with the DLC and at a discount.
Jasta85 let's just mention real fast that these dlc don't cost more then 10 bucks and introduce whole new gameplay aspects as well as revamping stuff that wasn't liked by the community (games-to-gether) I'm still trying to get a proposal trough , for adding depth into ship hull development
I said in my original post that it wasn't a complaint, I never said DLC was a bad thing. The reason I wait is so I can enjoy all the extra content, balances and bug fixes from the very beginning rather than wait a year or so.
I think it was good of Shadow elaborated on the dlc. "DLC" is a trigger word and just mentioning it can turn people off as it should, some games are ruined by dlc. As Shadow said tho I love the way amplitude does it. Release a dlc with updates to the old game and add in new things for a small cost. A way to keep making money while working on the game that feel fair
The only thing I think Amplitude (and all the game publishers, actually) should do is give a discount on the DLC for those who bought the game at launch. The way it is, someone who supported the devs since day one ends up paying much more for the whole package than the guy who got the game after 1,5 year or something. It simply isn't worth it for the "day 1" guys.
It would have been a groundbreaking game, but way too complex to be made. Total War battle mechanics are a game on it's own and has been created in the past, now they just refine it. Amplitude would have to design the battle mechanics from scratch, besides the whole exploration, randomness, planetary stuff and such, which is already far more complex than in Total War.
i have to strongly disagree. Total war is actually a really good example why blending campaignplay and rts isnt a good idea. I mean many ppl like total war so it probably is a good idea. I dont like it though because you end up having 2 halfbaked systems. In tw neither campaign nor rts gameplay is beyond ok. I much rather play just campaignmap or just rts and have it be really good. 😉 Also it is much more realistic. Cuz if you are a general or admiral you can ofc plan out engagements beforehand. However, once the battle is roling there isnt a whole lot you can do. I definitly prefer the system ES2 has now over an added rts element.
@@joethesheep4675 It depends on what TW you're talking about, man. Of course, if someone doesn't like the style or the setting, it won't be an enjoyable game, but there are good and bad TW. That said, I've been playing strategy games on PC since 1999 and Total War: Warhammer is the best thing I've seen so far as a whole. I like some other 4x too, for example Endless Space 1 and 2, and they're better then TW:WH in some aspects, no doubt, but as a whole this specific TW title is at another level. It's massive (and will be even more when the 3rd part comes out in 2021), the dozens of factions are completely different, each region of the mega map has it's importance, it is defying even in the very late game and on top of all that, some battles are so thrilling that I still remember how/why I've won or lost it years after I've played them. Granted, it's not a perfect game, there are many things the fanbase agree that could be completely reworked (and some will be when part 3 comes out according to the devs), but it's the best thing out there right now regarding strategy games on PC.
They really should have made the battles more interactive, give us some skills to use or something, as is most people will just skip watching the battles after the first few times
Just wanted to ask you if we can expect a review of ES2 soon, haha, I'm happy. Will be picking this up, seems much deeper than Stellaris. While Stellaris wants do be endlessly replayable etc the lore is just not there properly, this seems to have much more of an RPG side to it. Glad I didn't pick this up during EA and will be buying it now.
when the i63 cpu gets released in the year 2030. Because the absolute best form of AI that can compete with a human in the game of chess used 100% of a cpu that is 10 times worse than our current i7s. And keep in mind that most games actually use a lot of CPU power even WITHOUT AI. And 4X games are more complex and has a lot of systems that can be exploited. And every possible way an AI can defeat a player will probably increase the load on the CPU for at least 2 times. Meaning a 4X game which has a lot of different kinds of victories and that has features like tec, culture/unity or w/e heck its called in other games and even the freaking battle system is complex due to all the units and their special attributes. And don't forget about all the freaking different resources that can shift the game's balance. And in a 4X game you have to know WHEN to expand to win against an experienced player. So I'd say a normal 4X game is AT LEAST 2^5 harder on the CPU. And don't forget the guy who actually made the freaking chess AI is almost a genius. But what I'm talking about is the Bruteforce way. To make an efficient AI for a 4X game would also require 2^5 times the amount of brainpower. The budget for the AI itself is going to cost more than a few dozen AAA games because you'd be hiring some expensive fucks to work on the AI haha.
Same argument all the time. He didn't say "when will we have an AI that can consistently beat human players" but when will we have a DECENT AI. And there are games that did have it. Play Battle Brothers for a recent one that is definitely decent. What is really weird for me is that the AI in Endless Space 2 should have been a bit easier to improve since combat is basically non existent. But still, no.
I found the AI on supreme commander and supreme commander 2 was a bitch, it learned what tactics you always repeat and counter it,forcing you to change your style several times throughout the game. Also the pitiful AI enemy fleets they send at you are laughable, it's such a weak AI it starts to get really boring real fast when you roflstomp the enemy,even on endless difficulty The AI are not a threat.
Just got this game today and I'm highly disappointed at the lack of battle interaction. All you do is upgrade technologies and tell your ships where to head to and that's it. It gets boring too fast.
What level is best to start at ?I am familiar with 4x but no way a pro.You stated the ai doesn't know how to play certain areas of the game,isn't that the developers fault since they program the ai,and one would think the devs know their own game so it doesn't make sense unless the ai is basically like a dice roll and what happens is completely random.
So the difficulty level isnt to demanding? I wonder if its a good thing.. Endless Space was so hard that i couldnt win any battle in the end game vs glass ships of Harmony.. They just had tons and tons of everything on their ships and even 11 cruisers or 5 dreadnoughts fully upgraded to no matter what couldnt even graze them... My 11 cruisers barely managed to defeat 1 of their ships themselves losing 1... I dont know whats with the ai in that game but it was mind boggling...
Great vid, thanks. What a waste, such a good foundation, but the AI, dude, the AI. As a single player, "lackluster at best" doesn't exactly sound enticing. May I ask, if there is any reason to play this game if one has Stellaris (I own it now thanks to the monthly Humble Bundle)?
As a relatively veteran Stellaris player (350+ hours), I wonder if I should try out this game. I don't have much interest in diplomacy, my biggest interest is always military and battle. Do you think Endless Space 2 will satisfy ignorant "Lord of War" like me? :-)
Personally i love the cinamatic battles ive played all the total wars masters of oriona and space civilizations and endless space is the best it gives the most options from diplomacy to battles i love everything about it but i do get some bugs or did like pendinlngs when switching turns but i was on turn 700 and most factions were fucking the shit outta each other love this game but maps need to be bigger thats my only problem
Ruined for me when I started playing EE1. Then I kinda got used and then I started enjoying it. The battle system is a "bonus", actually. The game is all about the decisions you make on the map.
Soase is a 4x game and is called classics in that. Nothing has yet managed to beat it in terms of customization, options and yes - real time combat. Let's be real here, Endless Space 2 is just a bunch of reused ES1 code wrapped into new beautiful images.
No mention of multiplayer desynchs? I bought ES 1 for multiplayer and couldn't play with friends because of outrageous desynchs. They never fixed those desynchs in Endless Space, at least they hadn't about 2-3 years after release when I tried again.
Re: Vodyani - I play on harder difficulty levels, and the Vodyani typically snowball and end up winning if I don't hunt them down and deal with them early on
It's a pity they hadn't incorporated the turn-based strategy combat from Endless Legend. I thoroughly enjoyed that system. Speaking of which, the AI in that was a little lacklustre especially in the mid to late game. It became too passive, and enemy cities and armies would just sit there doing nothing turn after turn.
Man, I actually find the battles in EL more boring. They tried to make something like Age of Wonders, but didn't quite nailed it. They intended to be sophisticated with all the specs, the items, the different troops and all, but it's shallow when you play it. On the other hand, EL battles are what they intended to be, a simple decision-making battle. I ended up battling on the auto more in EL than in EE1, curiously.
The AI is terrible. Their fleets will sit there doing nothing. The Academy end quest is also the biggest joke. Anyone who's played the game knows exactly what I'm talking about.
was really disappointed in this game. Played 118 minutes so luckily i was able to get a refund (bought it for 11 euro + vaulters dlc for 3). It was insanely boring. This would be so good if it actually had a ship combat mechanic which i thought it had.
I've held off on this for over a year now. Mostly because of the AI being so bad. I just can't invest the time getting into a long epic strategy game knowing the AI is going to be a brainless pushover that's easy to exploit. Has this been improved? please tell me it has.
Legit point you make there i play with my bud and the turns really start to take time from mid to late game it would be crazy if everyone would fight entire total war like battles every round it would tale forever
@ 2mins I still have no idea what this game is about. Also alittle too much personal observations. Just tell me what the game is about ffs. You babble too much.
Destiny 2 is not Halo, it was never made to be like Halo and it will never be Halo. Destiny 2 is more akin to WoW but with guns. The single player is supposed to be easy and the game doesn't get stared until you play the end game content. Sure maybe you like Halo over WoW but lets at least make some fair comparisons.

I didn't hear any mention of Sound track. Many AI changes were included in release version. Well see how these work out. Amplitude is very comfortable supporting and improving every title they've ever released. This is simply the beginning of ES2.
Pirates now wait fleets that are coming to their systems before moving to another system (depending on their mission)
Added: Planet destruction mission

It's on sale right now, want to try a different 4x game besides civ.
''ImperiumOfMan''.
Good boy!
The Emperor protects
They should have made the space and ground battles like those of the Total Ware series. That would have made this game a 10 out of 10.
It would have been a groundbreaking game, but way too complex to be made. Total War battle mechanics are a game on it's own and has been created in the past, now they just refine it. Amplitude would have to design the battle mechanics from scratch, besides the whole exploration, randomness, planetary stuff and such, which is already far more complex than in Total War.

I honestly like the empire building more than combat so I'm glad it's passive also imo endless space is better than Stellaris
I have never been a fan of strategy games but have recently been interested in trying a space strategy game. This looks like the one.
whats the point of no battle interaction?
They really should have made the battles more interactive, give us some skills to use or something, as is most people will just skip watching the battles after the first few times
Almost no 4X game has interactive battles, the only one I can think of is Endless Legend
+Nejc Baratheon Total War does
total war has never been a 4X game
Martin Laursen 4x stands for eXpand, eXplore, eXploit, and eXterminate. you do all of these things in total war, so explain to me how it's not a 4x.
It is a 4x game it just has more focus on battles
Overall, "It works Really well."
Just wanted to ask you if we can expect a review of ES2 soon, haha, I'm happy. Will be picking this up, seems much deeper than Stellaris.

The two games you mentioned are not direct competitors, man. They're way different in terms of mechanics.
No not really. They are both 4x games set in space, both around the same price. They are direct competitors.
No, they're very different.

If only Stellaris' space battles could combine with ES2's ground battles...
Great vid. Very helpful, liked and subscribed!
Does it have all the factions from the first game? I only saw a few on that faction screen.
Best combat in space game had Sword of the stars 1
Turn based untill fleets meet each other. Then it turned in to a real time battle (time limited)
So what is a good turn based space combat game?
sword of the stars 1
ImperiumOfMan? I see what you did there xD
;)
my fav dev team of all time, thx for the review
nice, honest and balanced review. GJ
Just got this game today and I'm highly disappointed at the lack of battle interaction. All you do is upgrade technologies and tell your ships where to head to and that's it. It gets boring too fast.
I wish more space rts looked this nice...
What level is best to start at ?I am familiar with 4x but no way a pro.You stated the ai doesn't know how to play certain areas of the game,isn't that the developers fault since they program the ai,and one would think the devs know their own game so it doesn't make sense unless the ai is basically like a dice roll and what happens is completely random.
I remember in the ES 1, during space battles, you get to play "cards"... I didn't quite like that one, is that still in?
Boon Jin Tek the cards are there but its much more focused this time around on how well your ships are equipped
I just decided to install ES1 again to play... perhaps it was just my play style, I find I'm only using 1 or 2 cards... repeatedly.
Depends on that as nothing wrong with using 2 cards if tbey fit your strategy however sometimes experimenting can be a good idea
cool, I'm gonna pick this up
it looks the very same as stellaris. which is better?
Diplomacy in this game sucks so bad, no way to get into an alliance if it's full, there not way to get a partner to be kicked out, big wtf.
So the difficulty level isnt to demanding? I wonder if its a good thing.. Endless Space was so hard that i couldnt win any battle in the end game vs glass ships of Harmony.. They just had tons and tons of everything on their ships and even 11 cruisers or 5 dreadnoughts fully upgraded to no matter what couldnt even graze them... My 11 cruisers barely managed to defeat 1 of their ships themselves losing 1... I dont know whats with the ai in that game but it was mind boggling...
this game is the best game i have every played. Hope they have dlc !¬so would pay for it, very unlike me
really great review. thank you
To sum it up, this game has many fucktions to choose.
Great vid, thanks. What a waste, such a good foundation, but the AI, dude, the AI. As a single player, "lackluster at best" doesn't exactly sound enticing. May I ask, if there is any reason to play this game if one has Stellaris (I own it now thanks to the monthly Humble Bundle)?
I would say so, it's a lot different from Stellaris
Okay, thanks. If you, Cosmic, had to choose between the two, which one would you get if I may ask?
More of a Stellaris fan myself
Thx.
As a relatively veteran Stellaris player (350+ hours), I wonder if I should try out this game. I don't have much interest in diplomacy, my biggest interest is always military and battle. Do you think Endless Space 2 will satisfy ignorant "Lord of War" like me? :-)
Nah the combat is its weak point the rest of this game is great so its probably not for you
should i play this game or stellaris?
This question is like "should I watch SW or Guardians of the Galaxy?". Both in the same genre, but way different, man. Play both if you can.
this is what i wonder right now
stellaris combat is a lot better, Endless space is a journey and just has more life, however the combat isnt as hands on.
Personally i love the cinamatic battles ive played all the total wars masters of oriona and space civilizations and endless space is the best it gives the most options from diplomacy to battles i love everything about it but i do get some bugs or did like pendinlngs when switching turns but i was on turn 700 and most factions were fucking the shit outta each other love this game but maps need to be bigger thats my only problem
Battles are completely cinematic with a slight tweak on tactics just before it's start. That kinda ruins the game for me :/
Ruined for me when I started playing EE1. Then I kinda got used and then I started enjoying it. The battle system is a "bonus", actually. The game is all about the decisions you make on the map.
Sins of solar empire is still the best 4x strategy, followed by Stellaris
Sins of Solar 4x? More of a RTS with some 4x elements, or at the very best a simplified 4x. Don't get me wrong, a very nice game anyway.
Soase is a 4x game and is called classics in that. Nothing has yet managed to beat it in terms of customization, options and yes - real time combat. Let's be real here, Endless Space 2 is just a bunch of reused ES1 code wrapped into new beautiful images.
I keep reading something about a turn based bug in the game that never got fixed. Do you have any comment on it?
No mention of multiplayer desynchs? I bought ES 1 for multiplayer and couldn't play with friends because of outrageous desynchs. They never fixed those desynchs in Endless Space, at least they hadn't about 2-3 years after release when I tried again.
I still enjoy playing the first one here and there.

good review
No amount of polish can defeat the quest for friendship of the blorg commonality!
Is this like stellaris
The AI is terrible. Their fleets will sit there doing nothing. The Academy end quest is also the biggest joke. Anyone who's played the game knows exactly what I'm talking about.
Thumbs up if you like hearing this guy say the word "battle"
why is this game so unpopular??? It looks amazing!
Ugh. The ships still just disintegrate.
was really disappointed in this game. Played 118 minutes so luckily i was able to get a refund (bought it for 11 euro + vaulters dlc for 3). It was insanely boring. This would be so good if it actually had a ship combat mechanic which i thought it had.
Is the AI still crap? It was sooooo boring even on hardest difficulty.
I had so many crashes to desktop in the first hour and a half of gameplay I refunded it.
I've held off on this for over a year now. Mostly because of the AI being so bad. I just can't invest the time getting into a long epic strategy game knowing the AI is going to be a brainless pushover that's easy to exploit. Has this been improved? please tell me it has.
Everybody whines about the hands off combat in these games, if you have more than one friend to play them with you'll quickly learn why it's there.
Legit point you make there i play with my bud and the turns really start to take time from mid to late game it would be crazy if everyone would fight entire total war like battles every round it would tale forever
vaujany
It's turned based holy fuck I almost both it for a Space Sim .... hell no.
Somehow I totally dislike the user interface in Endless Space I don't know why...
This looks exactly the same as the first one and just as boring as the first one.
Thank God I saw this video and didn´t buy this game. Holy shit, boring as hell. Definitly not for me xD
There's a "T" in battles! Are you bri ish ? It bug's the hell out of me when ppl never pronounce their T's!
Great review though.
@ 2mins I still have no idea what this game is about. Also alittle too much personal observations. Just tell me what the game is about ffs. You babble too much.

now now, lets not make fun of my accent and my inability to say basic words
Youre slinging around alot of terms from the game, that the average first time consumer does not understand. Horrible review.
bad review .. you talk boring ..and you give no informations about the game ..
I found it to be Too complicated. Will be gig a refund and focusing my money on civ. Civ has a bit of micro but nowhere as much as this game.
Destiny 2 is not Halo, it was never made to be like Halo and it will never be Halo. Destiny 2 is more akin to WoW but with guns. The single player is supposed to be easy and the game doesn't get stared until you play the end game content. Sure maybe you like Halo over WoW but lets at least make some fair comparisons.
WoW with guns xDDD
Get the fuck out lmao
"The game doesn't get started till you reach the end game content." good meme, there is no end game content, that's why it's trash.
Endless Space 2 have more depth than stellaris!
THANKS, TURN BASED = NEVER BUY
boring game.
