Its The Kabbalah And The Kabbalist 🤣

For me first time where I turned to map strategy game was in the ancient time when first Civilization came out. It was just squares moving on maps but man was it a good thing back then with real life leaders, city names, turns and technology.

Big problem DLCs

You know what paradox should have met should add is a custom map maker custom makeup should be added I want to be able to grab provinces grab tiles click and drag make new stuff not just rely upon the same old map or map that Donna mod maker

The brainwashing has a downside (who would have thought): Thanks to CK for example, we imagine medieval rulers as controling clearly defined territories with borders when really borders, aside from natural ones, weren't really a thing until decently modern times. A medieval lord rules over people, buildings, towns, castles and where those are defines where the realm is, not like modern states which are defined by their territorial borders. One village belongs to this lord, another to the next lord, but there is no line in between usually where you cross from one realm to another. I'm not bashing the game here, it makes sense from a design standpoint, but it reinforces in us the wrong sentiment that borders like we know today have always been a thing.

The real problem is that the base paradox game is mostly just a skeleton that they build out from using 1,000,000,000 DLC. To there credit for the most part, the DLC tend to be worth it, but it comes at the cost of whatever game drops it has 1/3 of the content of the last game in the series until the first 37 DLCs have dropped.

I don't care what shape I am, as long as my enemy is in worse shape.

I find it concerning that you’re blaming the consumer for having expectations that the sequel games will have a level of familiarity to the predecessor games with DLC’s. Your argument falls apart when you realize that every sequel game paradox has released in its modern history has been simplified on purpose to target a wider audience. These newcomers don’t have any history with paradox and yet we’re still able to determine that Victoria was a pile of garbage. We can try to say that Victoria three had a more traditional paradox fan based in other games like crusader, King three and hearts of iron four. But that still doesn’t negate the fact that a majority of the player base did not enjoy the game. My biggest concern is that EU five is taking so much from mods like meiou and taxes because the Dev team is utterly creatively bankrupt.

Everyone in the comment section is worried about how bare bones EUV will be but the bigger question is how much the content will actually just be from meiou and taxes. By everything we’ve seen it’s just an upgraded version of that mod. I’m hundred percent confident when I typed this out that the problems with that mod we’re going to see in EU5.

paradox makes interactive coloring books for grown autistic men

Victoria had and till the update has the problem with the replayability. I didnt spent that much time like the other paradox games (only 650h) in this one because every country still feels a bit like the other. But i think sphears of influence will fix that problem and also they need a balance of power mechanic. Then the game will be defently awesome :)

The best thing about it is you'll literally never run out of ways to play the game before you die. For me it's EU4. I don't like HOI4 because of how focused it is around having to play great powers. Not sure why I don't like Victoria yet, but I just don't. CK is a'ight (and it will always have a special place to me due to being my entry point into pdx grand strat), but character management gets a bit too fiddly when you're a perfectionist. I vastly prefer the empire building of EU4. I was finally starting to burn out around 4500 hours or so played. Then I discovered complete overhaul mods like Anbennar. 7600 hours now and it's not stopping anytime soon. Edit: Also get map mods that make the map fit your personal preferences. I use TBARW, although it requires a bit of personal fiddling to get it working on the newest version since it's not updated.

Im so excited for eu5

from everything we've heard so far from tinto talks this doesnt seem to be the case, and it sounds like youre just fearmongering. another thing to take into account, every paradox grand strategy game before ck3 was made by Johan, every game that has flopped, with the exception of imperator, was a game that Johan had no influence over.

Amazing video

If middle earth shit, command and conquer and star wars are your genre defining RTS games, than you are both a kid and don't know what you're talking about. Age of empires, stronghold and Warcraft series were the defining game series of that genre.

Map gooners unite!

I blame Johan.He is just so obnoxious and arogant. Ruined what he could.

I was extremely pissed they killed this game and wrote a negative review. If they announce they will return to building the game I will change my review.

EGYPT BEING ANOTHER COLOUR THAN YELLOW?!?!?!? DBDOFUNVOEAIHLDSEANKDSASBAAUAUAAISDOUAUHUDUISD

Thanks for the video. Extremely helpful for me. I own EU4 and HOI4 already and you helped me with my play order. Subbed and will browse your channel for more. Take care

I'm one of those crazed people who began playing paradox games because I was addicted to maps and have been drawing them since I was 7. So this video is a little off puting for me.

Yeaaah, he is beyond saving.

Paradox release new game --> Doesn't have all the features of the old games' DLC because that takes time --> People call it a bad game --> They add the dlcs --> People like the game because of the features of the dlc --> Game starts to get old and people rush paradox into releasing the new game --> Paradox release new game

I am that kind of guy here, to remind you that you made a mistake in this video. Victoria 3 is not a Grand Strategy Game, but a Gay Strategy Game. Sauce: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNR-g6pnvJyqXYU.html

CK3 was exactly quiet good on Launch for me.

Nah, this is just the same like with civ 4 and civ 5 and civ 6, it's a normal thing, calling a curse is silly.

Bro, I haven’t heard such amount of yapping for a long time, but agree on every word.

Out of anyone from Paradox, I will put all my trust in Johan. So regardless of what people say, I will be putting my money behind. If he can't bring his vision to their possibly best flagship game, Paradox Interactive is going to lose lots of faith, & some major restructuring will need to take place. In my eyes, the game will turn out just fine if it will be led for Johan till the very end, & have both a "Custodian Team", & a "Expansion Team" that Stellaris has. I just pray at the very least, it won't turn out like release CK3... oof, did I felt like Ck2 was what I should be playing.

dive in raw is crazy

I started with CK3 and now I picked up Victoria 3 for $10. I was always disappointed with the lack of economy and trade mechanics with CK3. Really enjoying Victoria 3 with all its updates.

I'd say stellaris is actually the easiest to learn. I actually think HOI4 is pretty easy to learn but hard to master. EU4 is way harder to learn for me personally. Great video sir!

0:51 what mod is it? Subtitles isn't helping me out here ;-;

Which game is it at 5:52?

For me the wierdest is Aztecs, I imagine them green now but god damn if they were something it was red of the blood of sacrifices

I'm so glad this game is getting a revival. I've put a good 600 hours into it in the past year or so. There are so many cool historical details and interesting playstyles. Not to mention the immersive, and realistic the pop system and INCREDIBLE modding community. Hearing that the next Europa Universalis will have a similar pop system has gotten me very excited for the future of Paradox games

Quite frankly, the Paradox curse is their fanbase. Extremely autistic and aggressive.

i bought hoi4 5 days ago and played 34 hrs since then, help me...

Green Canada is the best Canada

This is really fire game

I didn't play the same games you listed but i did play hundreds of hours of AOH2 and man, i'm glad to know i'm not the only one that gets pissed because of what colors for are used for each countries in real life maps. Also the personification thing is too real, i get myself personifing not only my nation but enemy nations and allied nations, when in reality they're just plots of land with a color over them.

I will not tolerate the map slander in the beginning. I was thoroughly amused by maps as soon as I became a teen. It’s an issue

The curse is that their games are terrible.

Talks positively about Vic3 Dislike and do not recommend

Guess i got so much brainwashed that my love for maps is now unlimited 😍

Victoria 3 is crap, and will always b e until there is real Strategic combat. Paradox's worst decision ever.

nice video

Me being introduced by the KZfaq algorithm about Paradox Games since 2017 is forever life-changing for a teenager like me.

I understand the idea of starter all over again with DLC. Something the Sims have been doing for decades now... The problem with Victoria 3 is that it's literally boring... oddly just boring. It's like a glorified Cookie Clicker... wtf
