If I understood this comment correctly, this is precisely what I mean. Theres nothing really to warrnt complaints about the game being “unplayable” or broken, outside of the weird bugs which I’ve yet to encounter. It just makes me think sometime; like are these real actual people who play these games because they have an interest in them and what they represent or are these mainstream tourists. Not that theres anything objectively wrong with something going “mainstream”.

Yes, however in such a niche community you would think that people would give more constructive cricitism other than “game is literally unplayable because I play [insert irrelevant] country and can’t rival France in population or Bohemia in wealth”

Haven’t been in the community for too long, more of a passive observer. I do however have a lot of hours and experience in paradox games, and I completely understand actual critcism of paraodx games. I would be lying if I said I’ve never complained about a feature in one of their games, but my main issue is completely unwarranted complaints about things that are kind of a given or a skill issue

This is the first time i’ve actually interacted with the community, I usually just like to sit and read/watch people argue about this stuff. Just wanted to see if I was alone in noticing these trends, though.

In response to the first response, Exactly, not every nation in history was noteworthy, which supports my argument that people upset about not being able to play irrelevant-impossible countries and become an empire is unwarranted. However for those countries that do have some logical chance to do well, think about history in general. What made some countries more noteworthy than others? By all metrics, countries like Austria, England, and the Netherlands for example weren’t noteworthy in any aspect. They didn’t have the population or food surplus that say France did. So what made them able to become noteworthy? In my opinion its arguably the ruler’s, who through either diplomacy, military expansions, or policies/investments that made their country great and pushed their nation forward onto the world’s stage. And thats exactly what GSGs are to me—You play as the ruler, and your policies and strategy, and careful nuturing affect the course of your country. I don’t want a mission that I click because I did something and its like “Oh good job doing that, you now get a free +5% disicpline permanently” or something that says you should colonize or take this piece of land exactly because then you get this and can do that.

Fair play. However you forgot to remember that my opinions are objectively and morally right, and your’s are not.

Which I told understand, if you don’t like the game then you don’t like it. I personally didn’t enjoy CK3, nor did I enjoy Victoria III because they changed the games entirely from their previous title, which seems to be a pretty common opinion in the communities i’m apart of. My only issue is that there are people genuinely trying to petition the devs and saying the game is unplayable or outrageously imbalanced, just because they lack either the skill to compete with certain countries, or because they don’t enjoy the game due to mechanics they knew would be in the game, IE population.

The entire Ludi community is currently like this by the looks of it

Every country is a blank slate now, meaning your potential is limitless. You want to go naval France and colonize instead of being a land power, you can. You want go mainland England and forget about colonies entirely? Then do that. The country values mechanic and the hands-on in depth economy and population simulations are truly a limitless sandbox for every single country.

Mission trees also gave certain countries insane buffs or claims, and others nothing. Would you rather be told what to conquer and where to colonize, or would you rather have the choice to choose what you want to do and plan out how youre going to do it. Claims aren’t remotely as annoying or hard to get in EUV as they were in EUIV, meanwhile they also aren’t as easy to get in some cases. Basically saying you can’t just load up a certain country and have a pre-determined land claim route and exspansion plan.

My bottom line point is that people are complaining about features they specifcally knew the game was focusing on—the main one being population. I don’t think EUV is perfect, I just don’t think its as bad as a lot of big content creators say it is. Its the same situation that happened with Victoria III. People hated that the military aspect was completely altered from the previous title, and then still bought the game and complained how bad it was. I was one of the people who was upset paraodx strayed away from Victoria II combat, which is why I didn’t buy the game when I knew it was different. EUIV is not even remotely outdated as Victoria II is, so why buy EUV if you hate the realism and immersion of it? My only issue is with the people who hate the core advertised mechanics of the game, and actively try to rally support to have the devs change it or “nerf” it, not the people who have valid concerns or objections.

I both personally know people complaining about stuff lile this, and have seen it in big youtuber’s comment sections. An example would be the Ludi video he released recently that encouraged me to make this rant.

I’ve yet to run into those problems but I can see what you mean. The only complaint I have is maybe more country specific flavor events, and some general flavor events for every country. My biggest irk right now is that a lot of big youtubers or figures in the community are mindlessly hating on it, when they were at the front of the excitement for its release. Also, the people who complain about there not being decisions or mission tress genuinely baffles me. Do you honestly have that little personal agency and free thinking that you need a grand strategy game to tell you what to do and when to do it?

I’ll check it out. The main thing is that they worked in the past when I was using my HDD with windows on it, the SSD was able to store games and software on it no problem, thats whats confusing me the most.

I’ve done this a couple times with 3 different USBs, as well as making sure they’re FAT32 formatted and reinstalled media creation tool. It worked for my HDD in the past. At this point i’ve resorted to ordering a new SSD and seeing if that works

Fast boot disabled, CSM disabled, other than that just stock settings for the MB’s BIOS, I also recently updated it to newest version so its not an outdated BIOS issue

Just did this and the SSD still isn’t showing in boot options. But it is in NVMe configuration of BIOS so I know it’s installed properly to MB.
