It’s so relieving to actually have an RTS sequel that isn’t just as good as the last game, but is outright better. The quality of life features are overflowing, from auto building into the fleet, to easy research, to simple selling of materials when you need to buy something.

It's so nice to play a game that has quality of life features I didn't even think I wanted instead of begging them to add them. We had loads of fun playing this, and kept playing once the recording was done.

I think all of Sins basically takes place in Trader space. With all the planets having a native human population, as when planets revolt they become uncolonised, presumably because they killed off all the colonisers rather then themselves.
So the the Vassari are just enslaving all the Humans to boost them before the fuck back off into space, and the Advent are going full crusader to convert, or exterminate, the heathens who gave them psychic remembered PTSD.
The TEC Rebels will happily ally with pirate scum, because any human who fights the alien invaders is an ally, any who doesn't also deserves to die.
1:52 Considering TEC was initially made up of civilian ships to combat the Vasari… I'm willing to bet that's a converted cruse ship with an actual rave party that's inspiring people lol.
the rotating jump routes means you can't just fortify choke points and have factory planets because your choke point will disappear and your factory planets will join the front line
my only gripe so far….the grav wells of the planets and size of the ships seem a bit to small and large respectfully
if you like RTS with distinct factions, try Earth 21XX series (you can skip 2140, its just a C&C clone, but 2150 and 2160 are nice, 2150 is the best)
1:34 the song… It brought tears to my eyes… SoASE is back!
You know the game is good, when you forget you are making a sponsored video. My funds are bit short right now as im curently in uni studying to become a sailro, but i might save up some money and get it when it releases! Thanks for the recommendation Rimmy.
Sins was one of my favorite games as a youngin and still is close to my heart, is there somewhere a guy can go to see a long play of your sessions to get their Sins fix?
This looks amazing and I will buy a copy for my buddy if he has hard drive space. So many improvements and let's go garrison forces!
I'm so trash at RTS games, but the visuals here are so cool…
Another faction would be cool
"Commander on deck!" Is one of my favorite voicelines.
I loved Sins 1 so seeing Sins 2 is an upgraded version is great. Always loved that it was a simpler 4X game, so it didn't take much to get into it. Can't wait to play this game when it comes out.
It's nice to watch Rimmy's stuff cause I get to learn of some obscure RTS games!
Man, that Vorastra Titan looks sweet! Wrecked many a frigate with that thing.
1:28 That music is from the original SoSE 1 soundtrack.
2:59 Okay, I definitely have to buy this soon. THAT is a good feature!!
i find that with SOASE, of the factions were so fun to play,
With the music being fantastic, the voice lines, each factions art style, etc. i really fell in love with this game. cant wait t see what the Advent brings to the table, not to mention seeing the new ship as well!
wonder if there is going to be a sins of the prophets 2
This video is not long enough
I really want to see what happens if you disable the fleet cap for both sides (and removing cap for special ships), that would be interesting to see what happens between you all and the AI.
Rimmy I can't recommand you enough that you must absolutely try the first supreme commander game with the forged alliance expansion Please i beg you
I really wish Rimmy would have tried Sword of the Stars. It's a space game with 3d Global Map (which makes it a bit hard to navigate), different FTL methods for different races and different tech trees for each race (and maybe each game) as well. And also, you can just use your ship's weapons to fire on the planet to kill population, infrastructure and make it uninhabitable
Rimmy. I hope you are doing Starship Troopers Terran Command, because I would like to know MORE.
But can we just appreciate how damn PRETTY the shield splashes are?
4vs4 and not on Ashred?
Hey Rimmy, love the content as always, but the game is using AI art for their UI stuff, the art for the Xenophobe thing looked sketchy as hell and saw the AI tag on their steam page
wont be supporting this or the game itself either way, sorry mate
Thanks for sharing! That trade ship reminds me a bit of the Orca in Eve… September is such a long ways off 🙁 lol
2:08 Salim is in the lootboxes!?
Loving seeing all of the Ships i loved from the first game coming back in the 2nd.
TEC Loyalists forever.
IF terra invicta has shown me anything then its that sins idea of "ther aint gonna be no ground fights in a space war" aproach is probably pretty realistic.
man, imagine Warframe Models.
Grineer Fleets battling with the Corpus Fleets. Or Corpus Fleets fighting the Sentient Fleets.
Despite having over 200 hours in stellaris it never quite scratched the itch I was reaching for. This looks like it might just do that and more. I'm hella exited
it seems nice i just dislike the ship styles
rimmy fanboying on sins 😛 have fun man lol
Why is no one picking up that almost yhe entirety of the video a script? Most basic things are mind blowing? Every little thing is amazing? Him and his friends randomly explaining the game mechanics and how they work like rhey are reading from a direction book of the game.
Vintage Story?
The torpedo cruiser is just a MAC with engines on it. it’s the Sins equivalent of an A-10
Holy shit, this is just straight improving on the Sins I formula.
Sins I was already amazing. This is just straight up better.
for those who wish to play Eve , near identical space combat , go to the first game and try sins of new eden mod . beware though you need a strong pc because of how insane battles are
3:08 sire, our scientists inform us that we must abandon our backwards ways of xenophobic prejudice in favor of their critically acclaimed sequel, Racism 2.
Ive played sins ever since my dad bought the original when i was a kid. It took me more than a decade and rimmy mentioning it for me to realise one of my favorite titans looks like a Thargoid lmao.
23:50 "This shall be our finest hour!" [proceeds to shoot apart a barely armed colony ship]
God damn Australians, saying "It releases in summer" while we Americans are already going through summer. We live in the future Rimmy, just a heads up "It hasn't released here yet". (love the vid, just don't get my hopes up like that lol)
How does stellaris abd sins of a solar empire 2 compare? I always played Stellaris, and never tried the other. Is it harder to grasp?
Pirates! In an Adventure with Traders!
I loved the original Sins, but I am not a fan of the art direction they've decided on for the sequel. It's just so… cartoonish, now.
I'm sure there are all sorts of improvements, but that art style is just so off putting.
