Although so far I haven’t heard many negative things, from journalists or youtubers. But I also didn’t hear many negative things about civ7 before launch…
Hey look! It’s DLC Seller 5! Can’t wait to buy more DLC.

With their more recent games they have gotten less bad with their dlc, the base games seem a lot more feature rich (I could easily play stellaris, vic 3 and ck3 without feeling like I am missing parts of the game. With eu4, the dlc seem necessary). They will definitely release too much dlc, but it probably (hopefully) won’t be required like in eu4
Roads to Power DLC is so WHAT THE FUCK completely different game.

When I meant missing parts I meant stuff I would notice missing while playing the game with no dlc. This happens a lot in eu4 and almost never in ck3. Although I might try roads to power after hearing about it!

That’s the mark of a great DLC! The base game is fun on its own and the DLC adds a lot to that.

this unironically makes me wonder if there are any games with the gameplay being just painting a wall, especially since I know there is that House Flipper game
I saw some videos. I don’t want to have to spend the first one hundred years slowly dying while fending off the plague.
Also apparently you can’t no CB in the hre. What is life even?

I’m stoked! I watched a gameplay review by someone I trust, and they were super excited, so I’m genuinely excited as well.
The one thing that worries me is they weren’t allowed to show anything after 1500 or so. This could be because the game isn’t fleshed out after that time, or that they want players to experience it themselves. I really hope it’s the latter.
Regardless, it looks like a fresh take on the EU franchise. I’m sure there will be ways to cheese the new game, but it looks like they fundamentally changes a lot of the systems that used to be abused.
I’m probably not getting it day 1, but I might get it close to release. I usually wait for the first DLC before jumping in for Paradox games, but this might be an exception.

So I’m guessing we’re going to see a release around the end of that, so mid-June?

Was it Laith’s video? I just finished watching it and he said that it will be a great game if they fix all the bugs. Asking paradox to release a game that isn’t buggy is pretty scary. But it does look like an amazing game and not just a stripped down version of the game that came before it (like vic 2/3 and ck 2/3)

Florry worry.
Laith was in the announcement video, so I wanted another perspective. In typical florryworry fashion, he looked at it from the perspective of min/maxing, and he was pretty excited about the variety of options available.

That’s fair. Although Laith said that Paradox is letting him say whatever he wants, if I got invited to help announce the sequel to one of my favourite games I would be a bit biased. With every video I watched I audibly said wow at least once. I did not expect that many features and depth from a paradox game at release! Makes me wonder what they have left out to sell in DLC. Also makes me worry about how much time developing those features took away from bug fixing…

Sure, but he also has pretty close ties to Paradox since he has hosted various tournaments and whatnot for them, so he doesn’t want to ruin that by saying something bad about the game.
There’s a bit of that w/ Florry too, but I think he is more likely to go deep into the mechanics and find issues. And he did point out a few issues.
But yeah, I’m sure his take was awesome too, and I’ll probably end up watching it too. Everything I’ve seen from blog posts to Florry’s review has made me super excited. Most of the things I dislike about EU4 are getting fixed (e.g. it uses all cores!!), and there’s new stuff to play with. I’m super stoked about the whole pop idea, and I think it’ll be really fun in an EUV context.
So yeah, here’s hoping that the release is solid and comes soon-ish. Since they’ve already given pre-release access to streamers, it shouldn’t be too long now. Hopefully early this summer. :)

On their landing page, they have a series of dates for more teaser releases:
2025-05-15 Behind The Scenes #1The Early Days
2025-05-22 Behind The Scenes #2Building The Game
2025-05-29 Behind The Scenes #3The Grandest of GSG’s
2025-06-05 Behind The Scenes #4The Nitty Gritty
2025-06-12 Behind The Scenes #5The Music
I’m guessing we see a release sometime in late June or July, otherwise all the hype building seems a bit… premature.

Isn’t Powerwash Simulator kinda that, just in reverse?
Men leaving a metaphorical trail is different to me from painting the map. They was showed a journey, an individual not an empire.
“painting with the sharp reds of revolution”
“never before has the canvas stretched so far”
yeah no
