LGR Plays - Endless Space

[@JasonL_Hawaii]

03:35 PM Sunday, 11/28/2021 What a niche video from the LGR archives. It would be nice to see a return of LGR Plays.

[@LGR]

I have, but if I do another video on it, it will be when more substantial changes are made. It's essentially the same basic concept right now that I showed before, just with some new features. Maybe once it hits beta.

[@LGR]

That wasn't a walkthough, that was a video of me simply playing the game (an "LGR Plays" as I call them). I didn't even begin to do a walkthrough of all the content of the game in those videos. Walkthroughs are much more involved and aren't something I'll be doing. Now an LGR Plays video, that's possible.

[@Destined4gr8nes]

What a difference from now to this video! It's nice to find and kinda watch the progression all over again.

[@LGR]

Nope, sorry, walkthroughs aren't something I do and don't plan on starting.

[@ninguemvj]

It looks a LOT like Ascendency. Even the music. Wich means it must be FANTASTIC!

[@LGR]

Eh, Spore was simply mimicking a number of old space strategy games, nothing was really that unique about its space stage. This is much more accurately described as being similar to Master of Orion 2 and Galactic Civilizations.

[@ac5015]

Benway reference was priceless.

[@gendo1]

Only in LGR's KZbin channel can we get philosophical about time and space. (without being trolled)

[@LGR]

You're pretty much stuck with whatever appearance your chosen race has, at this point at least. You can unlock new ship types, but yeah, appearances are pretty well set.

[@Jazzy7664]

some real relaxing music in this game.

[@LGR]

Everyone loves a Benway reference :D

[@TheDailyCrumb]

yay! i actually bought it by accident when buying something else on Amazon. played it through, then guys kept trying to kill me in space and i did not know what to do! will love to see your LGR plays

[@carbonseven1st]

yes! LGR Plays blood, simply brilliant

[@LGR]

I'm a big fan of SoaSE, and I was skeptical of the turn-based things myself. I'm normally more of an RTS guy, but this one really grabbed me somehow.

[@foxman105]

Question: Are you planning on reviewing Master of Orion games and the recent reboot?

[@Lvl22nerd]

OMG thank you so much for doing a 'LGR plays' of this

[@LGR]

How about "finite yet unbounded"? And it depends on what theory you go by, but "infinitely expanding" via the big bang supported by the Hubble Constant certainly sounds pretty endless. Maybe not technically infinite since the physical reality we can observe is finite, but it's enough so that the common idea that "the universe never ends" sticks around. And then there's the whole infinite parallel universes thing, but whatever.

[@Distress.]

I completely agree with you there needs to be a Spore sequal done right. Although I'd prefer no turn based play in the space game.

[@504344]

The spice must flow!

[@Jasper_Hill]

You are my favorite person to see in my sub box. Keep it up!

[@ArokhaSieyes]

There's a game coming out in August, I think it's called Legend of Pegasus, that lets you customize SOME of the appearance. If Multiplayer isn't a requirement then you should try Galactic Civilizations 2, too.

[@DoctorBoffin]

11:17 look at Thermodynamics it has the spore logo!

[@FreedomFighterEx]

ES constantly update and patch, great community. they said will add new combat system and keep rebalance the game, if you like the game that grow up with you then join their community and be the voice : ) it's like Civilization V but mini version, still if anyone think that price isn't right then you can wait for the discount on steam, indie game got discount often.

[@MrEnclave86]

Was personally hoping for an Independence Day reference, "Peace, no peace." :p

[@nathangamble125]

+1 food on tundra, arctic, arid, or desert >derp, build it on terran

[@GrifDemonLordofHFH]

i preordered this awhile back

[@Kevin-wj1do]

Buying this game, nice review!

[@ObamaGoesPostal]

looks like a very cool game, gonna buy it eventually

[@xeroxedable]

This reminds me alot of The Final Frontier Mod for Civ IV: BTS.

[@SentaiBrad]

Thanks a lot Clint! Show me great games that I can't afford! :( Still great video that are a blast to watch.

[@capacamaru]

I bought this because of this review, and I've hit a brick wall. I have 12 systems, in one arm of a galaxy, and I can't make enough food to feed everyone. I'm just grinding turns to skill up more food production, I have EVERY planet dedicated to food, yet every planet is on strike... :(

[@medusesti]

Just seen this video... Reminds me of Ascendancy

[@MrYaotubo]

"I cant let you do that LGR." Also there is a significant lack of dark obelisks. :)

[@R33Racer]

Awesome another video!

[@benboyrocks0]

Can't wait for your SimCity (2013) review!

[@CommodoreFan64]

Not my type of game, but this does look really cool. btw awesome video.

[@aditya8400gs]

This Remind me of my first Space Game... "X-Beyond The Frontier"

[@-Keen-]

Have you checked the new version of Space Engine? Will you be doing a video of it?

[@dapenguin2]

*raspy voice* IM NOT BATMAN

[@defosh369]

What do you mean by saying four X? game missions/objectives and mechanics? Like for example World of Warcraft's destroy, defend, discover, drop, and deliver?

[@powergannon]

Should have been? But I love Spore! Especially with the Galactic Adventures pack.

[@XxCodemansxX]

Hey. Most steam games are on sale.

[@EpicUXnl]

Ahh good ol' string theory :)

[@TheGNUfan]

This is a lot like Galactic Civilizations.

[@theravendemon]

Can you change the actual appearance of the ships or just the equipment on it? I know it's pretty superficial but it'd bother me a lot if I was stuck with that pod-shaped ship for every game.

[@sherlockjwl]

4x!!

[@moorg745]

LGR what do you think of the Bioshock games?

[@masterdavid321]

I love when you do the Duke Nukem voice :D.

[@naireland]

Do an overview of the game Defcon. You've no doubt played it.

[@defosh369]

Oh wait, I think I misunderstood some things, "4X", a subganre of strategy games, known for expand, explore, exploit and exterminate mechanics. Funny stuff. I have played a little of that kind of games way back in the day (well, with my lack of English skill back then, let's say that I've tried to), though, I didn't know that those games have their own subganre with this fancy name ;P We learn every day.

[@bucknemc]

Is this only available on Steam?

[@Fiends4]

Space is not endless. Nothing is endless.

[@dangerforthebrain2]

remind me of "sword of the stars" but in a lot more detail, i liked the tech tree in that game

[@jonmahashintina]

It's not on sale? :C

[@uselessDM]

Its expanding, so it can't be endless.

[@vic424424]

You really should play or review Homeworld 1 and/or 2

[@NaturalSpeaking]

If Spore uses spice, then I suppose it must copy Dune. :/

[@ErrorSVK]

This game reminds me of Civilization, but it is set in space

[@rebeltorc]

For me it was a big disappointment that you have no direct control of units in battle, i had really hoped it would be more like imperium galactica, empire at war, or sins of a solar empire, in the way that you manually steer your units in battle.

[@TheDailyCrumb]

what spore should have been. can you review spore ?

[@tsjoencinema]

Endless Space looks like the Civ4 BTS mod "Final Frontier".

[@dcruze]

I'd love an official Elite game with these kind of graphics... Oh well.

[@DrewberTravels]

Did you ever play Stars! ? LGR?

[@Schyzofrenic87]

w000t Dune reffrence ! the dust must flow ?

[@OpenMawProductions]

The universe is not a friendly place to those that suffer asthma.

[@jaborist]

Well I can't argue with that logic

[@AlfredRusselWallace]

THIS IS NUKEM ALPHA 5!!

[@FreudRulz]

Random question: Doth thou partake in the sweet pleasure of Nutella?

[@Irked_Adjacent]

Can i please add you on xbox live?

[@uselessDM]

Okay.

[@ohernia501]

You should play with me! :)

[@AhmetwithaT]

I tried this on free weekend and it is a good game... but at the end of the day I don't like it. It's because of one design choice that I disagree with. It's the expansion disapproval system. I get why it's there, to limit the players to some extent, but it ruined the experience for me. BTW what kind of sense does it make when Cravers, a race whos only purpose is to expand gets expansion disapproval?!

[@Haloguydev]

My brain hurts.

[@Doctaphil64]

Steam summer deals!

[@Zoogle88]

STEVE BENWAY!

[@powergannon]

Dude, no edge.

[@kshadehyaena]

So the combat system is a card game? Uh, I'll stick with MoO2 I guess.

[@undeth01]

IM NOT BATMAN!

[@slmgr]

Good game but.. why only big ships can participate in battle? Also if TBS ,must be fully TBS . This strange selection of actions during battle just not good. Developers can learn something from console games if out of fantasy. All this can be selected before battle start or before battle phase. not during or after -_- Other elements of game just boring

[@FredIsMyName22]

Why did you remove me as a friend on steam???

[@jaborist]

How come like the moment he posts this he gets like 53 views and 7 comments?

[@bucknemc]

Sure it is. Space doesn't mean stars, planets, and other forms of matter. Why do you thing space is called "space". Because it's empty space of course. Even beyond the stars, planets, ect (the universe) there certainly is still empty space. It's not like we reach the end of the universe to find a brick wall with graffiti on it that says "end of space".

[@halflifeapc8777]

cool game but im not into turn-based games

[@Jasper_Hill]

"And by Hello, i mean we are going to screw everybody"

[@plan7a]

:D

[@metabog]

This game has stolen many, many hours from me already.

[@moorg745]

MUST... NOT... FIRST...

[@nitay1485]

short then your other videos 28 minuts instead 30 minuts

[@keoni29]

Spore

[@Fusiontron]

Yo dude did you see that ad for Pegasus or w/e looks like a rip off of this game.

[@ZachZest]

Ehh...
