Map Game is out (hexbear.net)
submitted 1 month ago by jackmaoist@hexbear.net to c/games@hexbear.net

EU5 actually looks like a complete game from what I've seen compared to CK3 and Vic3 at launch.

I'll wait for a month or two before getting it so that they can patch the bugs.

I got it installed and I got a bunch of free days coming in. Will make a new thread after I played it a little bit. ( I like most what I saw though)

Of what I gather from reviewers and people on discord:

  • Buggy and unpolished even by standards of PDS line-up
  • Less gamey and arcadey but inversely also more complicated and harder to get into than EU4
  • Optimization could be better
  • A LOT of content to work with
  • Satisfying gameplay loop once you work it out
  • Good historical value

I look forward to see how this game develops but yeah, not ready to drop 60 on it now.

On a complete side note, I'm curious if they released the complete unit renders for different cultures and periods.

That's usually my response to everything from PDX. Can't justify spending money on something so universally loved and used by fascists, do enjoy CK lampshading monarchies and the whole PDX Rule 34 - "there is a Cold War setting mod for that game. If there isn't one yet, there is one in development. If it's too early in the timeline to make a Cold War mod work, a primitive communism mod, either alone or as part of an After the End style setting shift, will appear instead" - it's so fun.

There are a fuckton of Communists who play paradox games. When I played hoi4 I knew a bunch of people who exclusively played the Soviet Union.

if it's buggy then i guess i have to wait before i destroy my life with another paradox game

Oh, tell me about it. Those games are horrible for your time management. My main digital poison of choice that ate up hours on end in high school when I did not have hours to waste, wasn't even a Paradox title, but, they are just as bad as the strategy/resource management game that stole my teenage years.
