Starpoint Gemini Warlords - I aim to misbehave

See a few posts up for my nitpicks pre-2.0. I’ll update once I have a chance to play with 2.0 on Xbox.

I picked up the franchise pack during the Steam Sale, and I’d like to know what the best starting point is:

  1. SPG 1? Starting the campaign is an instant-crash, and I note that there is free DLC to play through that campaign in SPG2. So this seems out

  2. SPG2? If so, should I atart with the SPG1 campaign, to preserve the storyline? Or does the storyline even matter in this series?

  3. SPGW? I know it adds the 4x elements, but I’m more attracted to this series as a substitute for Freelancer/ Privateer.

Where to begin? :)

You can just jump right to SPGW. It’s the best of the bunch and the fill you in on the background if you need it.

The (lack of) sense of scale kind of soured me on this series. I like space sims. I like RPGs. I thought I’d like SPG2.

Hi guys,

We’ll be short and sweet. On August 9 we are releasing a final Starpoint Gemini Warlords DLC which finishes the story.

The DLC basically brings a fresh storyline, story branching, more than six hours of new gameplay, a new faction, new ships, new characters, increased replayability as a result of multiple choices when accepting some story missions, and more.

We’ll publish more details on Thursday :-)

Holy crapola! What then?

Welp, it’s the final DLC content for SPGW, which means we’re completely closing the development cycle for it.

We will of course still support it, and bring all the content to Xbox One.

We are switching to new projects which are in development :-)

Ohhhhhhh!

So out of all the DLCs, which are considered the “must-haves” and which can I easily skip?
