The PDX game model is hated by penny-pinchers. But for long-term game support it is ingenious. 10-20 dollar DLC every 6 months across a decade generates more money than a 100 dollar game every ten.

@cloroxbleach9222 8 месяцев назад

yeah same I think this kinda model is best for games that are meant to be supported a decade or two, especially in an industry where short term profit incentives are important . I still dislike it a lot but that's more because it feels like they make some DLC feel more like a necessity than a choice. I know for a fact though that EU4 wouldn't be alive if it got the Creative Assembly treatment which is to be abandoned in 2 years with really only 1 or 2 major content updates. I think that treating games that are meant to have infinite replayability like that is just dumb

@Lovelandmonkey 8 месяцев назад

I’ve spent what must be about $400 dollars on this game, but the amount of time and fun I’ve had from it has been extraordinary, and as you say, it’s usually $20 twice a year or so, which isn’t bad at all, for me anyway.

Stellaris is my favorite of their games and I haven't purchased the last two major ones, and don't get me started on the latest one being $20 but only giving about the same amount of content as Distant Stars.

@Olorin486 8 месяцев назад

The replayability is actually insane. You can replay the same nation 5-6 times and still have a different experience every time, changing up your strategy, your ideas, your "build" in a way that only matchmade multiplayer games can really compete with. And it's all singleplayer. And that's for one nation- even only going into the middlegame, plumbing the depths of one country like that can take 200+ hours. And there are hundreds of playable countries. Even if you only pick the ones with unique mechanics, there are still close to 100 fun, worthwhile countries to play. And this is all without mods.

@alecshockowitz8385 8 месяцев назад

I was so sad he didn't mention that mod! Truly the best mod I've ever played for any game. One of the most impactful parts of the mod is that the world is far larger, with way more development, and most nations are far more specialized. This makes it so you can play yourself into a particular style, or run up against a surprisingly difficult enemy in a way that doesn't exist in EU4 base game. Fighting Bhuvauri vs Switzerland is like night and day despite being on paper defensive nations with a focus on mercenaries. Another big benefit of the mod is that it takes waaay longer to be the undisputed #1 Great Power, whereas in the base game it's not terribly hard to be in the top 3 as nearly any nation within 30-50 years of game start. In Anbennar, it's not uncommon to run across nations that have over 2k development and aren't even in the top 4, unlike in base game EU4 where China barely crests 1000 development.

@brunobrunani4975 8 месяцев назад

Quality video, those were exactly the reasons, why i love and play this game for 10 years now. I would make one addition though. The close connection between the hardcore fanbase and the developers from PDX. More often than not you see player opinions being largely ignored, unless something gamebreaking happens. Over the course of the years i had the feeling, that the devs always tried to build their concepts around player feedback. Of course this did not always work out perfectly, but the game was significantly improved every single year. If they messed up, they fixed it. That is company you buy a dlc from, even if it seems.. questionable at first. PS: A special thanks should definitely go to all the history nerds, who fought to make this game as historically accurate and detailed as it is today!

@mathy4605 8 месяцев назад

@paulstein8854 8 месяцев назад

I fully agree with the "take[ing] far longer to reach mastery" aspect. I've got something like 1400 hours on steam and another 3-400 in offline mode (was binging so hard I was embarrassed my friends would see), and I'm nowhere near 'mastering' the game. Hell, even on normal difficulty, there's some nations I've never gotten to work properly/ gotten out of their measly starting positions. I'm looking at you Ryukyu. Also EU IV has, in my opinion, ripened with every DLC. I'm not supporting Paradox DLC policy, but we should admit that there's few games that have enjoyed 10 years of consistent development. Edit: I disagree with the war portion of the video to some extent. There *are* ways to acquire territory without war, but diplomatic inheritance is really the only feasible one. Sure you can vassalize some people peacefully, but it's rare-ish. I wish "threaten war" would allow for claiming more than a single province, that would alleviate the issue somewhat.

Once, I played as Ottoman, conquered the whole Europe and Africa continent… Got 3 colonies too big be to handle, one at America, one at Africa, one at Australia… in the end, my downfall was my own colonies as I gave them an autonomy and made them as vassals, two of them started a rebellion against me and conquered my territories one by one… now if you’ve played this game long enough, you’ll know that the biggest challenge of all is to conquer the European nations, even if most of them are a small country, but if you attacked them, they will make a big enough collision to take down your empire… took me 3 years of playing hours to achieve my conquest of Europe. Asia on the hand, quite interesting, while they are a few powerful nations, but they’re lacking of the technology advancement. But, I chose to not to invade Asia as they were not posing any threats to my empire. But, certainly, I never expected my vassals too be much more stronger than my army in just a few short span of time…

Even more cool is that even after you have "mastered" the game with around 5k total hours like me, you still have a lot to learn and adapt to in large multiplayer games.

When I first saw a lets play of EU4 I thought: Ugh, what is that?! But I continued wathcing because the player was a history buff who enriched the experience with his knowledge. This was ~2016. Since then I have sunk more hours into EU4 than in Fallout 4, Skyrim and both XCom games (Xcom 1 even witht he long war mod) combined. And: the game has become better and better. It is probably the best time sinker ever designed and unlike with HOI4 the battle focus is not the dominant design feature and doesn't harm the playing experience as much as in HOI4. The DLCs sum up to quite some money but many are absolutely worth it.

Love this game, dont play it much anymore because i disagree with most recent dlcs so didnt buy but paradox really does try to keep their games alive

Next Video: why the paradox System is genius I personally love it don’t even talk about Megacampains it’s crazy that you can start In the Roman time and go as far as the End of World War 2 if there only were on or two games between Hoi4 and Stellaris or just a converter from hoi4 to hoi4 coldwar Mod and then a hoi4 modern day mod or just Vic2/3 to Hoi4 (Rise of Nations)

EU4 is my favorite game ever.. its so deep and engaging, and each DLC gives a new twist to the game.

Bro i just got into eu4. Played basically everyother Paradox game but eu4 was so intimidating never got into it... until i did... i feel like i opened pandora box, i cannot stop playing eu4 its so goddamn good.

@brandonwalker5011 8 месяцев назад

As someone who has played Eu4 for 10 years and 4k hours it's because it's not the same game. Each expansion changed things and after so many of them it's just a new game. It's the same reason a game like wow is still around.

I don't know why but this map painting simulator is so addicted and thats how it is.

You said it takes longer to get to the mastery plateau than with any other game; I have a counterexample: The Dominions series (currently Dominions 5). I don't believe anyone has reached the mastery plateau for that series. Small note about the DLCs, sometimes they're very cheap on GoG. In terms of fantasy mods I think none of the specific IP ones are as good/polished as Anbennar.

Have almost 2k hours played and wanna say that eu4 offering a lot of ways to do what you need but when you become a master you will understand that war is simplest and fastest way to get what you need of course if you can wage it

Once u have mastered the first steep learning curve, it is the gift that keeps on giving and has crazy replayablity! And u even have not talked about the best Mod of any Game of all time! Anbennar (Even if it showed up shortly in your workshop page) To this date 3k+ hours Maingame and probably 2 to 3k+ hours Anbennar... yeah the the time over 8years (for me) is crazy...

@user-ne9fr7gn3k 6 месяцев назад

Unfortunately around 2 months ago my game literally died... the launcher bug has gotten me and all the fixes I have tried to find have not worked. approaching around 3k hours, anyone have any ideas as to how to fix?

The monthly subscription for dlc model is what keeps me coming back. For $5 a month i can pop in and play for a month or two with about $500 worth of DLC i was never ever going to pay out for.

Those Paradox stats lack a chart of how many games start on 11.11.1444 (about 99%) and how much on any other day of the possible range.

@merekem1389 29 дней назад

I started playing EU4 a year ago, I used to play Hoi4 for 2k hours before that and even thought eu4 was more difficult than hoi4, however then I realized that the game was extremely addictive and easier to learn than hoi4. Now my target is to achieve another 2k in another paradox game :)
