I think they're just legally obligated to say that, lol. Yea, a showcase of a nice bug free DLC this was not. Between the same issues existing (army teleport?) and some pretty OP tech locked behind DLC I'm going to wait for this one to go on sale. It's way too much money for what it is.
Being incapable of choosing what policies a country you release have is honestly stupid. Like, seriously, Brittain instituting slavery in a European country they just released and could in reality dictate exactly how it'll work, but you don't even have a choice to copy your political system onto that country? Love Chinese civil wars tho.
See Afghanistan and Iraq for examples of what trying to micromanage a foreign country's laws results in. In reality, countries like Britain had a very minimal ability to alter laws and had to consider the clashing cultural and societal views if they didn't want to have a permanent military occupation.
@@lokenontherange See post-WW2 Germany, Japan and Poland for examples of what succeeding to "micromanage" a foreign country's laws results in. Also, this game doesn't reflect what you wrote either
@@lokenontherange Maybe not everything, so maybe when releasing nations we should be able to set priority order for laws to match ours, first is guaranteed, but then each is a decreasing chance (most commonly 2 or 3, maybe a tech or something to increase odds)
What the hell 10:12 Australia had a *winning* peace deal against Wati, all Bo had to do was to click "Accept", but you picked "Capitulate" instead lol And just a few seconds later: "Did the Australians just lose a war? Do I need to do everything myself?" 😂
Underdeveloped yes, buggy not particularly. And let’s not pretend Victoria 2 was the pinnacle of stability and balance, it was 1000x more buggy and broken. There’s some valid criticisms to make but this ain’t it Chief
@@FrostReaveI think paradox fans just want a game with such an insane learning curve that any potential newcomers would rather smack their nuts/beef flaps with a meat tenderizer than ever bother trying 😭. I did try Vicky 2 and thought if I had more time to throw in to learning it I’d like it, but I got Vicky 3 when it came out and have loved it. It plays more like stellaris imo.
@@dr.vikyll7466The fucking video shows how paradox's mongoloid programming made an otherwise normal naval invasion into a dysfunctional, infuriating and completely unimmersive mess.
Warfare is fine, aside from a few glitches. Go back to your HoI4 and EU4 if you want to feel good about beating up dork AI with manual units, and stop trying to turn everything into your usual wargaming garbage.
@@Priyo866 Ah, I see. A military unit performing a naval invasion, then being arbitrarily assigned to defend only one side of their beachhead, allowing the enemy to simply walk in from the other side and naturally teleport the invaders to the other side of the planet is a minor glitch, I see. Very reasonable.
@@antorseax9492 The thing is that vic2 is running on a potato version of clausewitz that desyncs if you look at it ugly, combined with many lacking QoL stuff and weird economy issues (farmers hoarding the entire world's cash reserve). Really, their one mistake with Vic3 was the dumbass warfare system. It created so many problems for no reason at all, and while the rest of the game can be quite solid, it creates unnecessary frustration and all warfare updates have been slowly giving agency back to the player. I would not be surprised if in 3 years time we had full movement control back.
@@antorseax9492 The thing is all of the "best" parts of Victoria 3 are heavily watered down from Victoria 2 and EU 4 which cumulates in a meh at best game. VIctoria 2 is barely held together with duct tape and prayers which means you crash every 5 minutes.(even with QOL mods). If they just changed their combat system I'd probally enjoy it a lot more. Currently however its very very bad and even more RNG based than EU 4.
@@LaFonteCheVi The video is fun, as Bo videos almost always are. It does make for a good viewing expeirence and a fuckawful playing experience, what with the game being intolerable and iredeemable shite.
I think Base Victoria 3 was actually quite good. The only real room to complain was the lack of control when it comes to war fronts. What really bothers me ia the lack of good DLC. This one is...fine, a couple changes to Bloc control would be great but overall ok, the DLC that came before it were probably the worst DLC out of any Paradox game
@@FrostReaveIt was blant and frankly somewhat frustrating. Even now it's personally impossible to be enjoyed without a fk ton of flavour and QoL mods. But if you liked it than good for you, it's just that I wasn't able to have similar experience.
You guys remember when people complained about Warfare in Victoria 2 so Paradox decided to more or less just remove it for Victoria 3? What a great decision. Paradox AI is so smart it's just thinking 80 steps ahead when it teleports your troops across the entire world when a front splits.
Best Thing are supply convoys. If you reduce them to 0% you stop everything except manpower reinforcement to armys, because they get teleported from the barracks to your army.
And people kept insisting it was for the best. One of these days paradox will drop a major update that will introduce moving your troops by hand lmao. Reminds me of stellaris and sectors, took years until they just gave up their weird less micro system and let people control their planets.
@@tioseba7sectors actually had a gameplay balance purpose. The sector system was replaced by empire size, to try and retain some balance between tall and wide. Wide is still stronger but without size or sectors it would be a stomp
That migration bug is perhaps the stupidest thing I've ever seen: its like if every land grant university in the US had directly led to 100000 people immigrating. I just imagine some Bulgarian man hearing about Mississippi State University and screaming at his family to pack their bags.
Come on Lambert, I expected better from you. Objectively a lot things have been improved, let’s not blind hate like this. EDIT: I mean I guess there could be some person out there that subjectively believes the increased performance and less desyncs is no improvement :^) obviously you can have your own opinions on the gameplay changes and that’s fair if you still think there’s no improvement there. That’s just an individual opinion. But performance cant really be argued
@@Bokoen1 congratulations, they slightly unshat their own code they did not bother to optimise before selling it and from what I have seen has made the spaghetti warfare code even worse.
Bro going from play vic2 warfare to watching vic3 is just "What the fuck did you do" Tbh just more proof that AAA video games are devolving into crap designed to milk as much profit as possible via cheaply made over priced paid DLC before pulling the plug and moving to a new engine once the modders become more popular than the DLC. It happened to CA, it happened to paradox, it happened to Bethesda, and Ubisoft is in a shit tier of its own.
"How are you winning" is the same thing I say every time playing Vic 3, oh your fully modernized army is beaten by some peasent lavies with muskets? Deal with it. But if AI attacked you with your type of troops they are gonna win for some reason
@@froozigiusz what part of this video and widespread bugs suggested that the DLC has been playtested to any extent. And this isn't even a critical video, this is what paradox's marketing team wants to show off!
Beautiful, I love knowing the addition of new features is prioritized over fixing glaring issues in the core gameplay, and even the DLC features can get insanely bugged like the migration feature.
The university thing is so funny and that mortality rate is livid also Bo you forgot that a portal to Cuba has been built by the egyptians in their pyramids
Victoria 2: All in one package. Victoria 3: Death of a thousand cuts, tiny DLC for basic features that are in Victoria 2. Ode to Paradox, the company that sells a WW2 game and puts the panzers behind a paywall.
Real, dont buy the DLC's, it wont make Paradox learn anything other than they can treat us like slaves until we have no more money or they just close and run with the money
Official Paradox paid for ad, shows just how busted and buggy the game is. This continues the Paradox tradition of games not being worthwhile until several years of updates and fixes.
@@FishwicksREAL yeah. I regret paying for it. I refuse to pay for a DLC until they make warfare fun. I don't need hoi4 level but like...ck3/eu4 level at least...
as a ck2 fanatic, i wasn't disappointed by ck3, it's actually been positive for the most part (but still at ck2, i don't want to buy all the dlcs again lol...) it seems like its just vic3 that is the truly bad one for now
@@maciejbala477 The biggest issue with CK3 seems to be how impossible it is to play multiplayer. I just want to play Elder Kings with my friend and take over Tamriel
Elder Kings is unironically one of my favorite mods for a game ever. CK2 and CK3. Also you gotta try the Game of Thrones mod for CK2. Haven't tried the CK3 version, but the CK2 one is ridiculously cool. Lots of submods.
@@philipward4571 Bro out here just either: A. not watching my channel and just spamming in every Victoria 3 comment section today or B. a bot that didn't realize that I uploaded like 8 Victoria 3 videos since the last sponsorship.
@@Bokoen1Why you so triggerd bro? Afraid Paradox will not sponsor you anymore because your fans critisize a game for its very obvious flaws? Stop shilling.
@@Bokoen1The way you and the crew play the game makes it seem legitimately awful. Usually you guys end up frustrated with eachother, in this it seems a lot more like you're trying to fight the game itself instead of eachother.
@@Samuel-p17 which is a different problem than Vic 3 being fundamentally flawed as a game. HOI4 mechanics can be applied to different eras or scenarios via mods. The reason they don't play mods is because they're playing HOI4 competitively. In contrast, Victoria 3 in all their videos seems to be vanilla or at most lightly modified. Every time the video has a cut, imagine a 30 minute span of nothing happening, or the lobby crashing. Or don't, and watch the actual stream. You can see it yourself.
“If there is ever another war in Europe, it will come out of some damned silly thing in the British Midlands.” - Otto Von Bismarck on the British emigration crisis.
You see, the great thing about Victoria 3 is that I never experience any of the problems shown in the video, because it just keeps crashing constantly...
wow for 30$ i can play a shitty geoeconomic sim where countries that have no navies can somehow transport their entire militaries to other continents and interfere with wars 10 timezones away? And i get to fight those wars by pressing the paradox equivalent of a total war auto resolve button?? Fuck victoria 3.
3:00 I’m not exactly a master of Vicky 3 “Micro” but you might be able to save the situation by moving to HQ instead of front, which should be faster and defend both fronts
"I have been paying war reps to a country that hasn't existed for 12 years" Braun was just giving 10k to a random Chinese man that called himself a diplomat
@@FishwicksREALPlease just don't hope for anything. At the best it won't be worse than base EU4. Both Vic3 and Millennia launches already proved that Pdx are stepping to be another one of the AAA companies.
Y'know, making the war system entirely controlled by the AI isn't necessarily a *bad* idea. It just becomes that when you realize the company making the AI is Paradox Interactive xD
You MUST be just jumping on the bandwagon right now, there is no shilling anywhere in the video! It's got a sponsor in it, but content itself isn't any different from the eight previous Vic3 games.
"Yeah, you've already had 100k scottish people leave for texas" "Yeah they got replaced by Germans. Better people!" uhh so no one gonna talk about that line lmao
just makes me wonder how many of the dlc's were originally part of the base game and got cut. Since victoria 3 should have more features than victoria 2, yet somehow seems to have released with less. With dlc's making up the missing features that existed in V2
The art academies/universities providing country-wide migration attraction was a bug, it has been fixed in the 6/27 hotfix so now the modifier only applies to the state the academy/university is in.
@@Bokoen1 it’s kinda subjective really The armies where omega broken in Hoi4 with the newest dlc, specially paratroopers and such In this one the whole hegemony mechanics kind of break the game (subjecting everyone to go to the midlands, worse fate than death).. I’m pretty sure the calculations even break when everyone has more than 200% immigration attraction seeing the clown fiesta that was the pop swapping
Paradox: “honey, my new broken overpriced DLC is out, time for the shill videos even though you have said you hate the game on stream outside the videos!” RU-vidrs: “yes dear”
Ryanpur96 "Time to go online in random RU-vidrs video comments and embarrass myself not knowing that this specific guy actually plays Victoria 3 regularly and uploads it frequently without getting paid all because I personally hate this game" Honestly such a dumbass lmao.
@@Bokoen1 yeah the games actually really decent people over hate it, just because its not the exact same as the old one with new graphics. But speaking of the graphics they really do look awesome.
