Honsou Gaming

I’m a huge fan of “X4 stratagy games”, from Imperium Galactica 2 to Galactic Civilisations 3. I have been watching SotS 2 for awhile now, and had felt lucky that I did not pre-order the game. The game is simply not finished, with many people reporting game breaking bugs and a general lack of information on what any of the functions do in the game. Everyone agrees though that they game will be successful and truly amazing when given time to be finished and patched.

Paradox Intractive (the publisher) announced they are taking refunds and both publisher and developer have issues apologies for whats happening. Despite this, I am actually considering buying the game. This blog from why.

The blog is by the background story writer for Sword of the Stars 2 (and Homeworld!) and details the woes of the games release. The summary is that the game  had to be released for the company to survive and thus patch and finish their game. Everyone seems to think this game will turn out to be the best X4 stratagy game ever made once its finished, let alone with what they can add with expansions. Alot of people are undoubtedly very angry at whats happening, but if what they blog says is true, then they genuinely need support to make the best X4 game ever created.

So, instead of waiting for it to be “finished”, I am going to buy it to show my support. Some companies are worthy of support and Kerebros is one of them. Hopefully my small purchase can help the patching process and get the game to where everyone wants it to be, instead of prolonging it and taking the very small risk of causing the company to fold.

Honsou.
