lanetfall:Star Kings and the last few Cities Skylines DLCs sooner or later.
You know how other companies do that? Releasing new games. When did EU4 come out? 13 August 2013. Why has there been 40 DLCs and no EU5? Just kidding, its actually 45 DLCs but I think its 10 major expansions. Because people keep buying DLCs that keep radically revising the systems. I have 897.3 hours played in EU4 according to Steam. most of that in the first two or three years. I loved EU4 Since then, whenever I go back to it, so much has changed I have to watch videos on youtube. Literally almost every.single.system. has changed. I don't want to keep learning how to play the game from scratch, nor do I want to keep playing it like Destiny 2; its a game, not a hobby in and of itself.Funny, I think it's a great thing that paradox keeps refining games, releasing new content and changing things to keep them fresh and interesting. I just finished playing with the latest Stellaris and Surviving Mars DLCs, need to get on to AOW
I don't know anything about the Victoria series but I watched Aspecs video about V3 and it sounds interesting.
Eh, I don't mind the idea of returning to a game every year or two and finding a ton of new shit to discover. It's one of my favorite things about Stellaris honestly. It sucks in that graphically, the game starts to seem dated, but I like the idea of system changes, meta shifts, etc.
I don't think other companies do that. What company has released a new 4X game every 5 years? Stellaris is 5 years old and has been revamped so many times, it may as well have been new games. Since Stellaris they also released CK3 and Planetfall. In my opinion Paradox are one of the good ones.
Amplitude?
This is exactly my point. It may as well have been a new game. I cannot go back to the Stellaris I spent 150+ hours on and recognize the game today. I don't want to have to keep learning how to play the same fucking game. So I don't. Which kind of sucks for me. I am sure it makes them a boatload of money and for those people with 3000+ hours into it, I am sure its great. I have gone back to EU4 multiple times and relearned it but fuck them I am not going to keep spending hours picking the game back up and getting back up to speed just to have to do it again and again. No Paradox game is for those who want to casually pick up a game and play; this is like double indemnity.
lanetfall DLC doesn't change the base game at all.
There is a difference between Paradox published games and Paradox Studio games. The published games are made by outside developers and have their own revenue strategies. The Paradox Studio games are all following the CK2 DLC model. EU4 has just put it on steroids. That said, looks like my pocketbook is going to take another $20 hit every so often with Vicky 3.Yeah I get it, I just think it's a positive attribute and you don't. I mean my favourite game of the last few years is Oxygen Not Included, and the expansion Klei released for that late last year changed the base game even more than any paradox DLC, and I think it's wonderful.
There are paradox games which are relatively unchanged through DLC/expansion. Cities Skylines, Surviving Mars just had extra systems added on top, but the base systems are mostly unchanged. AOW
turn off auto updates, or revert to the version of the game you like.
