Guys need a chill a bit.This crowd is not hardcore.

Did they use the same annoying guy from the first interview ? whyy ? 

I'd actually say that Amplitude is very good and professional at showing their game, as neither of them let that host fluster them.

I doubt they had any say in who the hosts would be. And frankly, after what I heard before the ES2 showing while I had the stream open in another tab, none of the twitch hosts were better. If only they could get interviewed by a calm person actually interested in 4X games.

I kind of wish at this point they'd do something similar to the Blorg steams that Paradox did for Stellaris. That way they can show off the game at their own pace, give us a better idea of what the game is and how the new mechanics work, and have some fun doing it...

The Blorg streams were a brilliant way to market Stellaris and I so wish Amplitude would do the same with ES2. The downside is that they are a much smaller company and much less able to pull team members away to do 2-3 hour streams. On the other hand, getting more people into the company to help with marketing is what Sega is for now.

What the heck is this? It's the second time you're showing demo build, it's the  second time you are showing it via Twitch channel, with the same stupid host,  that prefers to speak idiotic nonsense, instead of allowing you to tell about your game. You're spending valuable time showing faction intros (that we've already seen many-many times) out of mere 15 minutes to showcase gameplay, and you're running out of time again to show us actual SPACE BATTLES...

Need I remind you that this build is the final showcasable build before early access release? And that they said that they are still working on the fourth faction, so why not space battles as well? After all the updated pre-battle UI is much different than the one shown by IGN back in 2015, so maybe a lot has been changed.

I thinkt he space battles are ready for showing and playing. In the first Twitch Stream they just ended the stream after the battle started for a few seconds. So I guess they were confident to show the whole space battle sequence. In this video they don't even get so far. So I guess it's all to time constraints. Having less than 15 Minutes to show a 4X to some hosts who aparently don't understand what 4X strategy is, well that's just to less time.

True.
