Buy It?

[rdouglass]

Best game I ever paid money for (or stole for that matter). If I was to put a cost per hour of all the time I've spent playing SE4, checking into mods, or learning things off this forum, it probably would be about $.02 per hour. Pretty good value if you ask me.

If you enjoy 4X games, this one is hard to beat. You may get 1 or 2 that might be 'prettier' on the surface, but when you factor in customizeability, variety of gameplay, replayability, and vendor support, I think you'll find there isn't a lot out there that even holds a candle to this one.

And Yes, I'm biased. I love the game. It's the only game (of mine, not my kids') still on my harddrive after months of play....
