Sword of the Stars 2 is on sale, has anyone played it? I could have sworn there was a thread on it here, but a search didn't turn anything up for me. I read in the thread (maybe it was in a dream?) that it wasnt as polished as the original, but the original was also unpolished when it was released and the hope is that the developer would do the same with this new version, over time.
So, following that, has this game come any further and do the owners of the game feel like it will be improved over time?
That's a terrible way to do it though, I have the first one it and played for about 30 minutes (a week ago) before I just couldn't do it anymore. I'll likely never install it again. The research can't be queued up so if you complete a research project and don't micromanage it to death you won't be researching. The interface is terrible, and I found it to be a very shallow game. I feel bad for Paradox releasing it considering their other titles.
That was kind of my initial impression of SOTS as well. Later on, I checked it out with the Born of Blood add-on and I was considerably more impressed. And then I just got more impressed with each subsequent expansion. It also doesn't help if you come at it expecting something like Master of Orion, which I did. It's a very different sort of 4X.

More good stuff all around. Valve seems to be doing a good job of mixing mainstream blockbusters and indie hits each day. There's pretty much something awesome each day for less than $5.
