Master of Orion Let's Play 1 | Discussing Space 4x Genre and MOO's Place In It

In this episode/review, I begin the first few turns of the Sakkra Brood in Master of Orion. Skip to 17:20 to bypass game setup and introduction. However, the bulk of the episode focuses on my review and impressions coming out of early access and my thoughts on how Master of Orion fits into the legacy of Space 4x games. I compare it to its contemporaries: Stellaris, Stardrive 2, Master of Orion 2, Polaris Sector, and Distant Worlds. There are other Sci-Fi 4x games I will not discuss, such as Galactic Civilizations. You may safely assume that I find those games: sub-par, not true 4x, and/or underdeveloped. Particularly, I have no interest in comparing GalCiv based on what I've seen of it (and I have watched complete game plays). However, I will respond to any comments regarding it. That's perfectly fair. Just for me, personally, those other games don't enter the arena. I don't consider them contenders. To sum it up, I am still awaiting the Messiah of Space 4x. The one game that will truly take the genre to its next level. I hope Master of Orion will be that game. I doubt this will be a regular or everyday series. We'll see. At the moment I plan at least once/week but may bump it up to thrice-weekly depending on response and views. Last but not least, thank you to everyone on Steam who's contributed to this discussion with their thoughts on their favorite games. 8/31/2016 Thanks to everyone for the interest in this video. It's very humbling. I regret now that I didn't edit it and polish it beforehand. I had no idea it would generate so much interest. Again, thanks for visiting the channel and checking out my video!

in civilization my favorite ways to win 80% of the time is with culture or tech. so when i played star drive2 and had 80% of the galaxy i won why do i have to kill the other 20% so most the time when i am that up i quit the game and start a new one

Have you tried the game Endless Space?

Got to admit, I can't remember anyone ever willingly picking the Sakkra as their race before. I've seen people get 'stuck' with them if they use the random race button, but not intentionally. I think it's the fact that they are diplomatically repulsive that turns people away from them. This LP should be interesting.

Wade, have you had a chance to play any of the Galactic Civilization games? I have not yet to play Gal Civ 3, but was a huge fan of Gal Civ 2. It is a decent game and one that you, as a fan of space 4x games, would enjoy.
