History YMMV / InfiniteSpace

* {{Gamebreaker}}:

* NightmareFuel: Flux Space, [[spoiler:Desmond Gate, Rubriko's clones, the Phages]]... plenty of stuffs in this game can be disturbing, actually.

* PlayerPunch: Everything that isn't epic or funny in the game. The best example is when you just fought your way through a bunch of pirates and had to go through a dense meteorite storm to rescue a hostage that seems to be a new crew member. [[spoiler: You get to her and when you move her out of her cell you realize too late that she was rigged with explosives. And she wasn't dead.]]
%%** She doesn't have to die if you decide to execute [[spoiler: Argun]], but she won't join your crew anyway.
* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Katida is not well-liked as a teammate, especially since she's a pain in the ass to recruit, but [[spoiler: if she gets a FaceHeelTurn, she suddenly becomes a chillingly well-done villain.]]
* TheScrappy: With so many characters, it is inevitable to have some characters thrown into the Scrappy heap.

** Katida. Some players dislike her personality, some others hate her [[spoiler:after all of the troubles to recruit her, she doesn't have any story importance whatsoever other than to avoid Roth and Nele from being killed]].

** There is no option to delete the Database that logs all Celestial Objects, which would've allowed new playthrouoghs to gain 10 Fame for (re)discovering it. This has the knock-on effect of spiking the prices of '''''physical new copies''''' of the game.

* ScrappyMechanic: The battle system, to some people.

* AlasPoorScrappy: [[spoiler:Franny]], to some people.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[spoiler:Most of]] Act 2 map theme, the regular battle theme, and the track that plays when your ship docks on normal occasion.
* ClicheStorm: Abso-freaking-lutely, especially with regards to characterization.
* DifficultySpike:
** Chapter 2/Lutsk Sector is infamous for this. To elaborate, you start this chapter with ''only one slot available in your fleet'' and ''a weak destroyer ship''. On the other hand, the enemies consist ''two or three ships'', which is still not too bad since you can escape from them. If you're unlucky, however, a cruiser might appear among them and ''makes the battle inescapable'', guaranteeing a quick Game Over for you. Until you learn Fleet Leader Lv. 2 and obtain ship blueprints from this chapter, good luck traveling around the sector.
** And another one after the TimeSkip since [[spoiler: enemies are much tougher in the Large Magellanic Cloud.]]

** HELP (GIRL) is rather popular among the players...
** Lord Roth.
** Neal Baecker.
** The Schneizer brothers, to some extent.
* EvilIsSexy: [[spoiler:Katida if she doesn't join your crew in Act 2.]]

** You may think it's [[spoiler: Valantin's Corsair]], but no. The Absoluta is hands-down the most powerful ship in the game. It boosts both your accurcy and evasion by an insane amount, meaning: You practically won't get hit ever while you can even hit enemies in the backrow consistently. Using the Absoluta as your flagship makes the rest of the game almost trivially easy.

* GeniusBonus: The names in the list of highest-ranked space pirates include the names of real-life corsairs and privateers like [[http://www.cosmosmith.com/kennedy.html Walter Kennedy]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Mason Samuel Mason]].

* HarsherInHindsight: A few of them.

* HoYay: Cico is just a little too... obsessed with Yuri. Dietrich is also really fond of him.
* {{Moe}}: Nia's younger self definitely qualifies. As does Alik. Dietrich may count as well, thanks to his TheKnightsWhoSaySquee tendencies.

** She doesn't have to die if you decide to execute [[spoiler: Argun]], but she won't join your crew anyway.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: A few of them.
** At one point in the game, [[spoiler:Nia lightheartedly tells Celina that she plans to live longer than her. Guess who dies first]].
** Later in the game, [[spoiler:Nia (yes, again) tells Yuri that she will kiss him when nobody is around, causing Kira to freak out. Cue FirstKiss / NowOrNeverKiss / LastKiss]].
** After the battle against Orders in Act 2, [[spoiler:Roth cries over his damaged-beyond-repair ship in such childish manner]]. This will remain funny if you recruit [[spoiler:Katida]], but if you don't, [[spoiler:cue the final battle against Lugovalos, where Roth (already badly injured) overloads his ship's high-stream blaster to defeat Katida, guaranteeing his ship will be destroyed for sure]].
** An event that allows Princess Glorinda to be recruited has PM Falko asks Yuri if he has "special someone", in which if Yuri answered "yes", Torlo will (perhaps jokingly) states that his "special someone" is [[BrotherSisterIncest Kira]]. [[spoiler:Later after the battle against Lugovalos is over, Torlo and Tatiana tell Yuri that he should find a girlfriend, and their suggestion? Glorinda. Granted, [[RetGone Yuri is the only one who remembers Kira]], but considering what happened, it's really harsh.]]

* MagnificentBastard: Valantin. Sure, he pinches your dad's Epitaph and stabs out your eye when you first meet, but it's hard to hate him. Him not being a villain does not help.

* TheScrappy: With LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, it is inevitable to have some characters thrown into the Scrappy heap.

* HoYay: [[FoeYay Cico]] is just a little too... obsessed with Yuri. Dietrich is also really fond of him.
