>>380464807
I dont think theres a company more jewish. They literally sell the same game several times only with different textures and theme

>>380464807
Behind every Jew there's a Swede

The fact is that it's impossible to get anyone into GS anymore because of the ridiculous DLC price. They pretend the DLC is optional, but most of them add universal mechanics locked behind the paywall. You feel like you're playing a freemium game and need to spend crystals to play properly.
They should stop being so fucking greedy and sell the old DLC in a bundle.

>>380465567
literally nothing, it's great

>>380466102
Or you could pirate the DLC like everyone else

>>380467007
I could just pirate the entire thing, doesn't change the fact that it's a shitty business practice.

Apparently Paradox increased the price of the game in some world regions.

Not including mine which is why i don't care.
If you want to play it just buy it on sale for 10 bucks and after that pirate all DLCs. You can still enjoy the MP

>>380467267
What the fuck. I thought PDI were decent-tier

>>380464807
constant extremely shit and overpriced dlc

is was still playable a few patches ago but you needed to soem fixes to cut out the the Swedish "we must make the WE crowd happy"

>>380467007
the new dlc (and the patch that comes it) ruins the game though. The game has been awful ever since the institutions dlc (became playable with a user fix) and then became unplayable (even with the fix) with the last 2 dlcs.

>>380467630
You mean "we need to cater to chinkos to make them actually pay for our games". China CK2 DLC is next

>>380468002
i mean the "this game is so eurocentric" crowd, when the game is called EUROPA UNIVERSALIS. Just look at their own historical start pints in the game to see how the tech from different cultures makes no sense anymore. The insitutions patch made it that the congo surpases France in tech by 1650.

Just read the user reviews

All of them complain about Paradox upping the price heavily

>>380468461
>. The insitutions patch made it that the congo surpases France in tech by 1650.
what the fuck

>>380468461
Institutions are shit because Paradox is to fucking lazy to balance it anywhere close to decently.
The prior tech group cost was equally lazy, but at least it worked by making other civs sink their mana into the ground

People finally started noticing how Paradox exploits their most loyal fans for cash, and suddenly the opinion switched from contrarian to mainstream.
Before, people pretended that the DLC was "optional", but now even the most hardcore fans are annoyed for having to pay 20 dollarydoos for 5 hours of content.

Personally, about fucking time this happened. I was getting tired at the fan's forgiving attitude for Paradox' tactics, if they were EA this would have been a revolt on the size of paid mods.

>>380469639
The most annoying part that is fans are making even better stuff for free in the hardcoded games. MEOIU and Taxes is a great example. This mod adds shitton of content and almost turn EU4 in an entirely different game.

>>380470318
>MEOIU and Taxes
they ahve some good ideas but it's an sjw bloat mod

>>380470783
Please explain.

>>380470318
Jewhan hates M&T becausr it makes Paradox look like the lazy kikes they are

>>380471456
go to gsg and ask for proof

I want to buy both CK2 and EU4, but I want to play the mods, do they need DLC to be played fully?

>>380471850
Some mods need DLC
Again, you can pirate them easily

Are the negative reviews solely because of the price increase or is there something else going on?

>>380471456
Only thing that has ever happened is that the chink team member claimed that the "attack natives" action was removed because the team doesn't endorse genocide. The rest of the team said it's because it's ahistorical.
So you can see it as both ways, being both SJW and /pol/, it's either "muh poor injuns" or "euros dindu nuffin".
Nevertheless, with the new pop system, mass killings are much more evident, and also encouraged, as part of war looting.

>>380465506
You must be kidding. I don't believe it.

As for OP, they sell basegame features as DLC. They resold divine wind from EU3 again for example.

Which regions did they jack the price in?

>when a 50% off sale is going on and the base game is 9.99 and the dlc is nearly 16 times that price

>>380464807
It's their worst GS game and all the DLC failed to fix the game, while not even adding anything substantial.

>>380472101
They never resold any EU3 features, those were in from the start.
Mandate of Heaven is all new stuff, albeit fixing old DW stuff.

Not to defend them of course. The problem is the DLC in the first place.

>>380471976
Paradox has been fucking horrible recently, specially with HoI4. It has been a year, and they've released enough DLC that costs as much as thr base game, yet adds a tiny fraction of thr content. And the best part? Their main content has already been created, and in much better quality, by modders. So they expect you to pay for shit you're not even going to use, just so you can unlock a button which makes the game works slightly more properly.
inb4 you just want free content. Imagine a FPS getting a sprint action as DLC. That's how bad HoI4 is. Even reddit hates it, while /gsg/ doesn't play it at all.

i can understand all the hate for it. I love the game, but they are very unfair when it comes to having mandatory features in DLC.

if you're not getting it on sale, then it's really not worth buying. I still haven't bought mandate of heaven.

>>380472379

The mana mechanics are done really horribly and lead to bizarre and ahistorical situations where on one hand you cannot actually specialize your empire as anything, but also all things are still mutually exclusive. Even with this it just condemns the game to tedium more than actually difficulty.

After four years the game is TF2-tier in how poorly optimized it is, and all modders that try to 'fix' the problems (M&T, etc.) just bloat the game up worse.

Countless DLC has caused a feature-bloat that only serves to distort history more while sacrificing balance (not that I even CARE about balance)

For about three years the devs were desperate to almost sell this game as an e-sport, leading to a complete rape of the game mechanics as well.

Rather than being a Grand Strategy game it's a bizarre 4X RTS that becomes a matter of muscle memory. It's like video game junkfood compared to previous titles in Europa Universalis let alone Paradox's strategy series that had more depth to them while also being technically more simple.

When EU4 first came out it was decent enough. Not even as good as EU3, but whatever. As time went on the game got worse and worse due to shitty DLCs. I have over 2000 hours and I can confidently tell you that the game as it stands right now is shit. Paradox has worked hard at fucking things up.

>>380477186
I don't really care. I buy the base game and pirate all the DLC every time. I could see where this was going with the sprite packs in the older games.

Look at Mandate of Heaven. Nearly £15 for the expansion, which focuses on a couple of Asian nations and adds another shitty mechanic, then they have the nerve to sell an extra 'content pack' for the expansion separately.

What a fucking joke.

HOI4 is a god damn mess, the politics make no fucking sense (nations can literally join your faction without you accepting them, force you into their war and then leave your faction a second later even though that's supposed to be impossible)

The AI blatantly cheats, while you need to spend up to 70 days planning a naval invasion they can rush out instantly the moment war breaks out.

It's just a horribly broken mess and none of the systems really work properly, something you'd expect from an early beta, and this game has been out for a year with it's second DLC coming (and it's nothing but focus trees for garbage countries) Meanwhile there's free mods that more than double the content, fix most of the broken parts of the game and are just so much better.

And this DLC is typically priced around 20$, what the fuck.

I can't imagine how complex, for lack of a better word, EU5 and CK3 will be.

I mean, the base games, at release, will need to have all of the features of the current games, plus a couple of new things, and then their own 15 DLCs each adding new mechanics and features. They'll be monstrous.

>>380483861
Shit's expensive

>>380484028
I think that has already been established.

>>380483861

That:

1. If you wanna experience the game in its most complete state and with all features and systems implemented, you're looking at an insane price

2. To get equal value with most other games per dollar out of this, you'd have to play thousands of hours.

This is EU4 we're talking about here. These types of games are made to be played for thousands of hours and the type of people who buy the DLC are the type who will happily put in the time.

I don't really understand the point you're making here. People clearly do get the value they expect to get out of them, otherwise they wouldn't be buying them. If I instead spent the money on a console I wouldn't be gaining anything because I have absolutely no interest in consoles.

>>380484712

Try again.

>>380485069

No, I think it stands. The type of DLC is closer to something like Truck Simulator games than games with more traditional expansions. Buying it all is something that would only appeal to maybe 0.1% of the player base whereas almost all players would prefer to have all the expansions for something like Battlefield or an RTS.

>>380485036
More like you are forced to buy them unless you want to be stuck with 10% of a game.

Paradox games are like Sims games. The full game is more like a base framework meant to be expanded on by paid content. They get all the mechanics in there to make a playable game, but then they expect you to shell out 300 bucks for a finished game. It's like early access but double the jew.

>>380485375

It basically comes down to whether you can accept that a superior version of something is available, but behind a large paywall. You could argue that it is like that with a lot of things. You also pay more for extra shit in your car. But the difference is here I have the power to take the full product for myself, without paying the high price.

>>380485417
I don't see how adding more content takes away from your experience. If you bought the game at launch you got the "full experience". Any DLC after that is just extra.

>>380485417
Too bad that all of the mechanics are fucking garbage and mostly include clicking a couple buttons every 10 minutes to receive bacon

>>380485924
It's more that the "full experience" isn't the full experience, it's the bare minimum experience.

>>380485927

>>380468828

Its misleading. Its possible to get colonialism as non western euros but it takes dumping development points into a coastal province and getting lucky. And if you do you still fell behind in over areas trying to get it. Tech doesn't mean everything if you gimped yourself trying to get it.

Its not as bad as it first sounds.

>It's more that the "full experience" isn't the full experience, it's the bare minimum experience.
Then don't buy it or play it, man. No one is forcing you to play this shit if you feel you aren't going to get your money's worth.

What point are you even trying to make anymore? That the game isn't exactly how you want it?

>>380486298
I like the genre. But most of the mechanics they add are just busywork that you do to get a few extra monarch points or ducats every once in a while. There's nothing interesting or strategic about them.

FUCK Johan and FUCK white people

>>380486472
>If you bought vanilla CK2 right now, you could not play: muslims, pagans, steppe, india, or republics, jews

That's how it was at launch and I put many hundreds of hours in to the game at that point. Are you really whining that they added extra shit for you to do? They could have left the game exactly how it was at launch and it would have been a good game, but instead they added more and you whine about it. What the fuck?

>actually buying a paradox game
The price is irrelevant when the game itself is broken.

>>380486809

It kinda is when they remove 90% of the features and sell it as DLC.

You keep making these absurd claims and they keep being bullshit. No content was removed just so that it could be sold later. I dare you to point out a single bit of evidence proving this shit.

>>380489174
The fucking problem with EU4 is that any plausibility has been thrown out of the window for "MP balance"

apparently they raised the prices in various countries, maybe some other game prices got upped aswell not sure, and when the steam sale kicks in they make a bit more dosh.

>>380489837
At least they seem to be avoiding that so far in this one

>>380490156
Muslims were never intended to be part of the base game. Lots of us bought the game knowing full well Muslims were not playable and still got our money's worth. Hell, Muslims aren't even playable in CK1 so no one even expected them to be in CK2.

You're just talking out your ass, now.

What's the best grandstrat game for a complete beginner?

>>380492272
CK2 after you pirate all the DLC

>>380488903
I know about that .ru site but I don't really trust it. Anywhere else?

>>380493129
The .ru site is fine, creamapi is trusted

>>380492272
civ 5 probably
inb4 civ is not grand strategy
if you get into it it will consume thousands of hours of your life so don't

At least EUIV has more reliable dev feedback than CK2, even if both games are plagued by their dlc bullshit which can be mostly circumvented by waiting on one of those big-ass sales

EU patches and dlc is some of the worst shit i've seen in video games.
>here's a fresh new updates
>it contains 10 features spread in completely different areas, each minor on its own

To get an improved experience as a specific nation you pretty much have to buy 3-5 dlc because of how shitty and unfocused every expansion is.
Why the fuck do they no longer release focused expansions is beyond me.


>>380487384
CK2 on a release was a worse game than CK1 with interface and resolution being the only redeeming feature. Content wise it laced absolutely basic things such as friendship system (which was first added to CK1 in dlc to begin with) or black plague and that one took 4 years and a dlc to be added back.
The experience was beyond bland without mods.

>>380481064
EU4 wasn't complex, it was overbloated with features meant to hide flawed base game. All these modifiers doing the same crap..

>>380493503
Is there anything wrong with civ6?

>>380473019
Yep this is the way to do it
And if Stellaris is any hint, they're making it harder to load mods off the workshop if you aren't legit. You have to unpack the mod zip in order to use them anywhere.

>>380494248
not really. I remember the civ 5 tutorial being pretty good for beginners. Plus civ 5 has more civs and content atm with all dlc's.

Also there are twice as many people playing civ 5 on steam than civ 6

CK2 > EU3 > EU4

buy vanilla, pirate the rest on cs.rin.ru

now you have full game experience with a very low price, full access to the forums and all the user mods

someone else need to make grand strategy games and no wargames arent grand strategy.

>>380495178
Oh, I see. I'll buy civ5 when summer sale starts then.

>>380465567
what's wrong with it?

this. CKII is just mindblowing. so many great campaigns, my favourite gsg ever

Holy shit this game suffers from bloat.

I just fired up a game for the first time in years and I could barely figure out how to play because there's so much CRAP jammed in there now.

They're falling into the Master of Orion 3 trap - just because it has more doesn't mean it's more fun.

>>380474163
The game is an autism simulator. I've been cheated by EU3 of a good thousand hour, which is why I never touched EU4.

>>380474163
high replay value, i had like 600 hours into the game be4 i even bought it, have like 1100 on my steam acc

>>380495712
>bloat
I wish, it's actually too simple and bland.
The only reason you think it's bloated is because it has awful interface even by GS standards.

>>380495712

Also, these games aren't supposed to be fun

>we will never get a grand strategy game with Mount and Blade battles

It was all over the paradox subreddit a few months ago. Not that long ago. The company that grabbed em up is a real scummy one too.

mount and blade wouldn't work when the battles get up to 50k big unless you down scale everything to shit

>5%
It's fucking nothing. It's certainly not "literally bought by a chinese company". Owning some stock doesn't mean they get to control how the company operates.

>>380501313
You are a useless child. 5% is a lot of shares for one entity to hold. Paradox are beholden to their (((investors))) now like any other shit company.

>>380501474
>ownership and control are the same thing

You literally know nothing, please stop talking.

>>380501474
5% is nothing

you need at least 25% to be somewhat influential

Qatar owns 15% of VW and they dont have much to say either

>>380467267
I'm a Mexican and I legit don't get why people get so mad about this. Exchange rates are constantly changing and 300 pesos aren't worth today what they were worth 4 years ago.
500 pesos isn't chump change but at the same time these business do business in US dollars and I get that as the conversion between US dollars and a currency changes so would the price of new games or games that are still being actively marketed.
>someone who actually had to buy another Xbox gift card because they raised the price of the Halo 5 preorder by like 200 pesos between when he bought the gift cards and when he got home to activate them
>someone who witnessed Dark Souls 3's price double about half a year after the preorder was available
>someone who's seen how bad the peso's dropped in the last few years and gets that luxury items are just gonna be expensive

>>380472962
I pirated some of the less recent DLC and I didn't notice any significant change. It's still a boring, shallow game that hates you for trying to have fun.

>>380472962
stellaris is a horrible sjw mess, it's reddit the game.

>>380501474
>(((investors)))
>Chinese company
Your /pol/ is showing

I wish Paradox Interactive communicated with customers more often in regards to CK2

never really know what they're working on at any given moment besides tidbits every other monday feels like anymore, if that, and mods seem to never have what I want.

>>380503694

They'll add back in the For the Motherland DLC so you can finally have functional spying and partisans no doubt.

Not an argument at all

Just Latin America being butthurt over Paradox adapting the Steam price to their falling currencies.

But you can genocide who you want. You can even eat them.

How is it SJW?

>>380507743
He probably thinks Stellaris is SJW because its succession mechanic is kinda retarded. Atleast for humans.

>pick human portrait

But that's why all-white human modpacks exist.
