Perhaps it’s an odd desire but I hope to see an implementation of the old “filibusters” of the 19th Century. American mercenaries who worked for themselves & amassed small armies to invade, overthrow & conquer Latin American nations. They could function similarly to adventurers in Crusader Kings II. A player could covertly fund them to overthrow a nation & being it into your sphere, or tear off a piece of a larger nation & form new country or something of the sort.
14:59 I completely agree. I still don't trust them though. I don't care who's working on it, what they're saying or what they can do. They've gone from consecutive DLCs to mass DLCs, all with features packaged appropriately so that you'll want to buy as many as possible, if not all, to now accounts and subscriptions. Like, they didn't sell enough DLCs, they now can potentially resell the same old stuff over and over again. Also, -respect if you actually go through with the preordering stuff. That's never a good idea, whichever the product is. I'm going to use the opportunity to say that you made the best Victoria 2 tutorial videos, so thank you very much for those
Since Rome 2 total war it marked the time of change in my belief in game developing philosophy, and since that other companies like paradox simply no longer make games with the goal of making them fun as a priority only with the goal of how much money it can make with fun being only secondary or third. I'm never gonna pre-order anything from those f****ers ever again. Especially since the release of Leviathan DLC for Eu4 last spring, not only did the customers of paradox receive any form of of sincere apology, but a paradox dev actually went to a dev diary for Hoi4 and basically wrote a hate speech targeting the paradox community and ranting over what he believed to be lack of manners, ungratefulness and basically having no right or sound reason for the community to be angry against paradox. That was the last straw for me, so yeah I'm gonna be very cautious with those people from now on, and always gonna wait long reviews of their products before I give them any of my money ever again. And just by the fact that when a company ceases to find it important to be nice to their customers any more, almost always means that they are in fact getting a lot of money.
Paradox seems to have changed their DLC policy. EU4 got 7 DLCs in 2 years, yet with CK3 it's been 1.5 years and they still haven't released one. We saw the same trend with Imperator and the little unit packs that came out, completely inconsequential to gameplay. Now one might argue that CK3 is very barebones but you have to keep in mind it wasn't until 4 years in development when you could play as Muslims in CK2, and also every single "missing" feature from the game is easily moddable and 95% already exists on the workshop. Paradox seems to have taken the Source Engine route with CK3 and judging by the abundance of mechanics and complete lack of flavour presented in Vic3 so far, it's going down the same path. Difference is flavour is easily replaceable, but I can't recall ever using a modded mechanic and not having it break the game
Honestly, If I get the complexity of nation-building from Vic2 in a more palatable form, I'll be happy. Also, your tutorials helped me learn Vic2 so thanks for that, and I enjoyed watching those Vic2 MP games but it's a shame you never touched any of the conversions mods seeing an MP Cold War game would be cool to watch(unless it's unstable in MP)...
I had given up on modern Paradox. I imagine that they finally tricked me again. I haven't played stellaris in a while but that and hoi4 are the two games that I still play at this point. I currently just play vicky 2
I don't know much, but it was a year ago when people were saying with full confidence that Paradox is removing slavery from the game and "adding gay marriage as a gamerule" because "the company shares are held by wokeists"
It would be nice if you could make a follow up video of this one to see how your expectations from this video turned out in the full game. Also I bet lots of people want to hear your opinion on Vic 3 in general.
Preemptive f in the chat because I truly know in my heart that they’re gonna fuck it up. Then they’re just going to dlc the shit out of it. It’s just gonna turn into hoi4
Nah, Paradox has shown a clear shift in DLC policy. And HoI4's DLC policy is not bad at all, like $20 of DLC a year compared to 7 entire DLCs being pumped out in 2 years for EU4? And not even mentioning that in that same time span CK3 still hasn't gotten a single DLC. Imperator also didn't get any expansions throughout its lifetime either.
I'm still waiting on a follow up video for the Apalachee Kayak Club! Glad Gaku pulled down the Trump video, kind of an embarassment to the rest of the channel.
I haven't heard from them in a while. I actually just deleted about 100 videos, mostly from incomplete series and campaigns, and also including that particular video due to the people still responding to it long after it became irrelevant.
@@Gakumerasara Much happier to see the Vicky content. With you playing historical and Spudgun hitting up the meme river, it's a solid portion of my viewing. Maybe we need to name the next Meme River after the so-called "kayakers"!
Off topic but any hope of a HOI4 Zero to Hero? Your Vicky 2 one is what gave me the fundamentals I needed to learn the game and the ones I've found online haven't been as good.
It's just going to be another DLCfest, I don't know why anyone plays modern Paradox games. Edit: Read the replies to see how braindead the cash-cow audience of Paradox games is.
Because paying £15 a year for a DLC that helps the game isnt a bother to most people and if it is to yourself, you probably shouldn't continue to pay games you know you cant afford. They dont makes games because they like us, they make them for money and (most of us) thank them for the good games and pay them for it, paradox type games are far any few in competition so we go to them for the good stuff
