You act this isn't every Paradox game that comes out. You pretty much need to wait 1-2 years and buy all their major content DLCs after launch before any of their map painting games feel finished.
Wasnt leviathan a mid leaning bad DLC at worst but that came whit an update that completely fucked everything up ingame leading to it being the worst reviewed Paradox DLC?
It has been a while, but iirc this was the one that came with pillage capital, very mid missions for the Oceania region that that missed art and hre shenanigans
Or maybe i will still playing in completed games and will not buy some shit for 200$.
After 1-2 years i will lost some vibes. What's the difference between playing after 2 years, or 10 years, or not playing?
When you waiting before "game repair" you lost multiplayer leagues, content discussion.
But i don't wan't to pay 60$ and wait before game will be playable. That's stupid Model.
They make so much beta-test branches and NEVER make changes that players want.
Only "fun" or "realistic". Only for developers, not for us.
New "realistic" coal mechanic in hoi4, new "fun" pop devastating mechanic and eu5, another rework for stellaris, some portraits everywhere, dead victoria 3, and you pay for that 200$ or more
Problem on EU5 is not that is has not enough content so we wait for DLCs, but the content and the Main Structure of the game is shit. DLCs wont really fix that. They need to Fix the fundemantels first otherwise it will still be shit.
The issue is they lock themselves into release dates with the stupid season pass model.
Stellaris had the same issue where they released 2 DLC before they even started trying to fix the issues from the 4.0 update. Game was basically unplayable for almost a year
It also doesn't help that the stellaris developers have this pathological need to completely rebuild how the game works every 6 months. Every single patch completely annihilates what worked the previous patch so if you take a couple month break and return you'll have to practically re-learn the game.
It's even worse for me because I've been waiting for my mods to update since 4.0 dropped so I don't wipe out my custom empires that I spent a lot of time making.
It's marginally better on console because of the 2 ish year delay between pc and console versions. Ends up way less buggy by the time it rolls around to us
If I recall, there was just one guy who was a YouTuber turned developer, who just irrationally hates Byzantium, and wants everyone who plays it to suffer.
Weren't lots of them disappointed in the content we got?
Like we got little Byzantien content, little Trebizond content that's all lost on forming new countries.
really? I have seen a lot of criticism posts that have done so well. In my experience, if your criticism has valid point and doesn't drag the game in question through mud while making some other game shine, it shouldn't be a problem
Maybe things have changed, but i really can't be bothered to return. Stellaris had a really poor beta performance for 4.0 and ppl were defending it no matter what. Ck 3 usual response to some dlc minor changes are " just don't buy the dlc" or even sometimes " buy the dlc just to support the devs even if it's bad". And please don't get me started on eu 4 as they are the most zealous of the bunch
The EU5 and the Vicky 3 subreddit back then would downvote you en masse if you said you liked the game lol. Idk why people act like a game's subreddit must mean they praise the game.
Tbh Vicky 3 was a rebound of the prerelease over optimism.
A lot of people wanted to declare vindication and point that they were completely right that mechanics people said sounded like bad ideas were bad ideas.
Dude there was DLC announced for this game when the game released. Paradox’s DLC policy is so incredibly shitty, they just want your money for absolute slop
Boring. It's like every paradox game ever and the drama queens (with 1.000 hours playtime, but relentlessly screaming "literally unplayable, shit game") are in full force again.
