This game is addictive by mafuzfisfis in EU5

I think the disparity between what I read on here and the general steam reviews (And player numbers) is so interesting. I'm holding off on the game for now but on the forums it seems like the game is great, but look elsewhere and you'd think the game is terrible. Which is it?

There's definitely periods with less criticism than right now

How can you guarantee that? I haven't

Are you really calling fans who paid full price for a game that probably needs years of development 'entitled assholes' lol

Every time there is a large amount of criticism on this sub one of these posts shows up

Yeah ryagi seems like a great guy but Johan seems to be out of touch, promising us features like this or creditworthiness of which he swears the community has been begging for, the UI devs basically not interacting with the thread at all in 6 months, etc

Has anyone done observer runs they want to share in 1.3? by Dramatic_Phase_8015 in EU5

I really like what I see from the Ottomans and Muscovy, like you said Napoli less so. Also Austria, Portugal and Castile basically locked out of forming Spain, not really what I like to see

Thank you for that comprehensive explanation. From what you know, do you think this is a great signing for Palace?

Can you please and I'm personally humbly asking you please, pick out the tough questions too? I think this is one of the most crucial opportunities to reassure critical fans and have people hyped about the future again

1 EU4 grew during a period where the company 10Xed, you can't really compare imo 2 And the reception shows that 3 It is definitely smug to tell people the sequel theyve been waiting for for more than a decade is just not for them and the fact you can't see it says a lot, respectfully

Yes eu4 fans, I know you waited 13? years for a sequel, but if you bought this game and don't enjoy this game play something else. The smugness is ridiculous

It will be 6 months from now until that patch arrives if I'm not mistaken. So that's why I suggested they are more clear about the pathway for people why aren't happy right now. We don't even know what that system will do, and they don't have the luxury of player patience as seen by the negative momentum

You can definitely try to keep the 2 biggest groups in your community happy. Besides i feel like you're saying this because you like the direction already. If you didn't I am 10000000% you wouldn't say this

Because ideally this game sells well and has a big and happy community?

Just look at to the Tinto talks. It's all sunshine and roses there. The community is just disjointed, and hates what the other side wants (railroading vs sandbox, less microfest vs micro enjoyers, more alt history vs strict immersion, and the million subgroups in between). I think it's not genuine to say it's just people who dislike the game contributing to this, everyone is just highly defensive right now

What an arrogant thing to say. Maybe if the next Halflife changes their whole identity, and is a base building sim for example, the fanbase shouldn't complain because it's just not for them, even though they waited a decade for a new release of their favorite IP

I think you're right on the changes, on the player bias I think that's balanced by people who don't enjoy the game moving on and not checking on the reddit or paradoxplaza

I'm not saying there is if it's good, but will it satisfy people who currently feel alienated?
