This is a little off topic but EU4 completely got ruined with the last DLC. And this isn't another annoying complaint, universally on steam people despise it. It's the lowest rated item on steam. It's dramatically slower compared to when ticks were lightning fast several years ago. Buggy and broke the balance of the game ridiculously.
Ever since paradox stopped focusing on performance of their games and just said "add more features, who cares about speed!" I stopped playing. A full EU4 campaign at 4-5 speed should take at most, 80-200 hours. Not double that because I gotta wait for ticks because they added an absurd amount of additional checks.
- Bayart 5y agoI was an avid Paradox player, but I pretty much stopped when they started pumping out DLCs at a rate I couldn't follow with, in the CKII/EUIV era. I played EUIV a bunch but I probably still have more hours on EUIII
- lightbulbjim 5y agoWell, CK2 is now complete, and you can often find it with all DLCs for a decent price.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agoCk2 is nice because it doesn't run slow like EU4, Stellaris, or HOI4
- lightbulbjim 5y agoYeah, CK2 runs nicely on a laptop. The newer games are just a bit much. I wish we could have the same gameplay and systems with a less-fancy engine.
- Bayart 5y agoI bought CK2 years back, in a pack with all the then-existing DLCs. Then they added a lot more. I'm just defeated, I give up. I refuse to deal with products that don't have a clear feature-set and pricing. You don't have to deal with those studios when there are so many out there that don't actively try to squeeze you.
- MisterBiggs 5y agoStellaris is having the same issues. It feels like every dlc adds some issues and they've just slowly been piling up. The game isn't even playable most of the time if you don't own all of the dlc due to the balance being horrible.
