Are you hyped up, autists?
>>719461538they still doing mana bullshit?
>>719461538i'm autistic and theses game are too complicated for meshould i hand in my badge and gun?
>>719461719It's just high barrier to entry. Map painters aren't that complicated, just complex.
>>719461719Absolutely. Go hang out with normies, traitor.
>>719461538Ai slop
>>719461719If you ever want to get into Paradox's GS games, Crusader King is the easiest one because you're still handling tangible characters and not a nebulous idea of being a nation. I have no idea how the fuck it works on consoles, either.
>>719461860not as crazy as you think. it's generally the ui that's the issue and you simply have to accept it's an additional barrier to overcome. keep in mind games like nobunaga's ambition and romance of the three kingdoms have been on consoles for decades. it's just clunkier than playing them on pc, but doable.
>>719461538I CRY ERRYTIME
I’m not going to be participating in this digital cuckoldry where ‘influencers’ get first dibs while the rest of us sit back and watch like a bunch of thirsty losers.Unless there’s an open beta or a release date, then no, I am hyped up. In fact, I’m more hyped and eager about Battlefield 6.
>>719461719There's nothing grand about grand strategy games, you only need to pay attention to a couple variables and act according to their value. You don't have to make any actual strategic decisions yourself.So they are not grand, they are not strategic, but I guess they are still games. Actually not, they are simulators.
Nope, couldnt give less of a fuckonce you get scammed by paradox you vow to never let it happen again their warhammer dlc trickery is the absolute worse. Never ever again will they get a dime from me.
>>719461538yes
>>719462940GTFO VUCIC
>>719462940We already know the release date.
>>719461620No.They removed most of it.>>719461538I'm optimistic based on all the development posts.No doubt it will be a mess at the release as that's the rule with Paradox although they claim otherwise.Base game looks okay so some mod will make it great.
>>719461538>mfw thinking I'll finally get into EU4 now that it's content-complete only to remember it's been 12 years of DLC
>>719463713cream api
>>719463279>I'm optimistic based on all the development posts.Same, following Project Caesar's early development sparked some hope doe a return to old standards.
>>719461860>>719461986I don't know a single goddamn person who plays these on consoles, though.
>>719461538Very hyped, i am playing the series since EU 1, was like the 30th user in their forums as well. I cannot wait for the next 10 years to pass so it becomes feature complete.
>>719461538>getting excited for parajew slopnah senpai
>>719461538given their recent offerings not really no
>>719461538EU is a shitty series. I'd rather they release Stellaris 2 or something instead.
>>719462670>great setting>good UI and graphics>hints of CK2>massively flopswtf was wrong with it?I pirated it and it just didnt feel fun to play unlike the other games.
>>719467294>I'd rather they release Stellaris 2 or something instead.I want Stellaris but medieval fantasy.
Are these games more fun single or multiplayer?
>>719467540100% single
>>719467382It was just a testing ground for the new engine. Same with Sengoku for those who remember.
>>719461538I love my pops, but the slowdown they cause in Stellaris and Victoria makes me really nervous.
>>719467294>I'd rather they release Stellaris 2 or something instead.I just want them to stop releasing DLC for the game. It's so obvious they ran out of ideas years ago.
>>719461538Probably will have to wait a year for it to get good. Though I'm afraid my PC can't handle it
>>719467540Generally single player is better. Mp can be fun with the right people, playing HoI3 with guys from fa/gsg/general more than a decade ago was genuinely fun, but that is imo more the exception than the rule.
>>719461784>Map painters>complexWide as an ocean, deep as a puddle
>>719467294I'd buy Stellaris if they stopped updating it and releasing DLCs.
>>719461538isn't this going to just be another shitty mana-based game that requires 10 years of DLC to be good? I'm so fucking tired of pairofcucks sequels
>>719461620Yeah. They renamed it.
>>719463279>No doubt it will be a mess at the release as that's the rule with Paradox although they claim otherwise.From what we've seen I genuinely think the launch will be the best since CK3.
>>719469068>mana-based gameNo. Everything is a pop or a slider now. >that requires 10 years of DLC to be good?That is more likely
>>719461538Yes.
not really, paradox games haven't been good lately. Vicky 3 sucked donkey dick and I'm kind of over them at this point. I also didn't like EU4 much, it felt like there was nothing to do during peace time.
>>719469116what is the new name?
>>719461538eu4 will mog this for years to come
>>719469576sliders are a bit of a regression desu. Should have gone ball in the wall with the spreadsheet like pop and way to nudge the values as gameplay rather than just "click to centralize"
>>719470315People said the same about CK 2 and 3
>>719470557And they were right
>>719467629And (and may Allah forgive me for uttering this phrase) 'March of the Eagles'.
>>719461860>Byzantium>feudalNigga what are you doing?
>>719470557CK2 will mog 3 until the heat death of the universe. CK3 is just fundamentally not a medieval game, it's completely and utterly oriented towards the Reddit normie audience.
Go on... without me...
>>719470259Stability
>>719463713The ultimate bundle has had some good sales
>>719461719Paradox games are not complicated. They do however look complex.The only exceptions are Vicky II and Darkest Hour.
>>719470704>March of the Eagles
>>719461719These games are the very definition of wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle. They seem overwhelming at first, since it's just graphs, modifiers and various weird options, but once you get accustomed to them, you realize that they're just simple map painters where you mainly just roleplay your epic alternative history scenarios.
>>719471079retard
>>719470506>"click to centralize"Not how it works, luckily
>>719471273No u
>>719471079>The only exceptions are Vicky II and Darkest Hour.Because one is focused on industrialized manufacturing and other is essentially a WW2 wargame. Both stray from the more general Grand Strategy sphere.
>>719461538Did they keep the trade the same and improve on it? I found it fun in EUIV (vanilla)
>>719470704>>719471212What was that game's problem? It has a reputation online.
>>719471834It's about 10 years long so you can fight a single war and then the game is over, and not an exciting single war like HoI.
>>719470557and this is still true
>>719472045It did introduce forts projecting a zone of control which is probably one of the best improvements to eu4
>>719461538>Less features than previous entry in launch>Most of the DLC will be rushed, poorly designed, buggy and will never get properly fixed>The game will get more and more incongruent as the base game and previous DLCs were not designed with the future DLCs in mindBeen down this road before. No.
I'm going to say it. Imperator Rome is the best Paradox game.

>>719471262God bless AARs.
>>719461538Game for hags
>>719470747funny part is that screenshot is from some journo's review
Lucifer is a wicked, wicked creature!
>>719470946It must run with 16 GB RAM. 32 GB requirement is laughable.
