Stellaris returns with the brand new First Contact Story Pack, which fleshes out pre-FTL civilizations, as well as giving you a taste of being a victim of a less-than-entirely-benevolent visitor from the stars…

Stuff like this makes me really want to play Stellaris… but then I see the UI and time scale and get super intimidated.
Once again, Jon, please (please please) do a full series and be the crisis. You were born to destroy the galaxy!
I tried not taking discovery tree in a game once.
I still feel dirty.
kind of insane that you cant be fanatical purifiers with the payback origin. Its the perfect ropleplay combo
Hurry, they broke all the mods again, back to waiting a few month until we can play again.
my first thought about them charging you reparations for your uprising was they wanted/expected you to reject the debt so they could declare war on you (a now recognised civilisation) with some legitimacy, crusader kings style.
then I realised that they basically re-enslaved you. you owe them a debt, so you produce exports, they buy your exports with money you gave them, and you'll return that money to them. it's just indentured servitude where they don't need to oversee you… didn't go well, though.
My first pmaythrpugh with this pack. Playing as humans on sol system. Doing payback origin. We will reach the starts as a force to be reckoned with. Wronged by our alien benefactors we will rule the galaxy with am iron fist and make them regret ever finding us
Good to see.
14:48 Haiti moment
As soon as he noticed MSI were slaves by default, he should've checked what the standard rights in his empire were. He's probably enslaved anything not human, also any humans not born in the empire
I want more tales from the Corvette ISS Aardvark.
Wait, so these guys are sending you a bill based on a foisted contract you never signed and didn't want? Great, you've been invaded by Freemen on the Land.
When you would play Dune Spice Wars? The game is almost finish and have a very complex economic and managing system, they also added House Corrino as a faction to play with.
Hell yeah. I got into stellaris because of MATN. Do a whole playthrough if you would please 🙂
Jon is much nicer to the debt collectors than I was. I just gave the debt collectors the middle finger. Thankfully they only attack your home world with about 900 fleet power and I had almost that in corvettes. Together with the station I was able to defeat the debt collectors.
You declared it independence day? And not XCOM start? Cause that's XCOM start right there.
I would absolutely love another Stellaris full series at some point, although I know Jon has a busy schedule. Imo, Stellaris sits right alongside Total War, Fallout and Hitman as one of the games that Jon is the best at presenting. I know it’s not as much of a headlining game as those other titles, but I would love to see it get more love soon, because Jon just captures the spirit of this game so well.
I think you should give the Gigastructural Engineering mod a whirl sometime, Jon – lots of good stuff in there, including some unique species origins.
14:40 "we're going to do the corpse parade, but purely on pragmatic ground, not because we enjoy it" is such an end-credits worthy clip xD
"We're nuking the flip out of nature, and now all the babies are dead. Beautiful!" ♥♥♥
The Payback origin reminds me more of X-Com. You reppelled the invaders and now get to use their tech in expanding to the stars.
If you’re looking for enough new content to make a run out of, Gigastructures certainly has that
To quote the Lions Led by Donkeys podcast, "this is another example of the Greater Unifying Theory of 'Fuck That Guy.'"
I was the bad guy all along – every single Stelaris player
Love how Jon justifies treating the primitives as just something to laugh at. Skin melting, blame it on the feudal lord. People falling out of the sky the funniest thing on Spacetube. To be honest it kinda fits the whole payback narrative
I feel like Jon is just acting in the role of Tzeentch with that primitive empire. He is purely there to troll them.
Is this on console or just pc?
another one off that gets no series
oh well
I love citizen service just for the starship troopers reference it has.
"Okay, we're going to do the corpse parade, but purely on pragmatic grounds, okay? Not because we enjoy it."
I mean I would assume the reason you're getting influence for it in the first place is because your people enjoy it. That resource doesn't just come out of nothing.
Beautiful, I love the ending
I love how seemingly everyone in the galaxy also hates your former masters
Ah, yes. The aftermath of a successful Xcom or Xcom 2
Ah, yes. The aftermath of a successful Xcom or Xcom 2
Whenever you say "the year is" I start hearing the babylon 5 theme.
Jon got Space Haiti’d
"If they have point defense, they're gonna tear our missiles apart. But you know what doesn't have point defense?
That's right, WHALES!"
That legitimately made me laugh out loud
That primitive species you discovered and just kind of toyed with….I see them starting with a payback origin in the future, as well.
