#NEW VICTORIA III PATCH#
Somes of theses changes (industrial production tweaks, land combat changes, possibly the new naval system) would definitively have been added in the patch under the DLC systems.
#NEW VICTORIA III MODS#
Victoria II, on the other hand, is finished, the mods are mature, and I think it's a great game at a fair price. The new features in EU4 look awesome, but that game isn't even close to being finished.
I really like CK2, but I'll wait until the DLC's are finally done and then buy an all-in-one edition (again). I broke the rule when I bought an "all-DLC's combo pack" for CK2 and discovered it didn't even have the DLC I really wanted. With Creative Assembly and Bethesda Softworks, they release "game of the year editions" (or whatever) of their games that include all the expansions, for the same price as the original game by itself - you just have to wait a couple years - besides, by then it will play properly on a faster computer. My rule is to wait until the developer has "finished" the game with all expansions, DLC, and patches released, and after the mods have matured - then I look at the "final product" and decide whether to buy the game, probably three to five years after it first came out. I made the mistake of ordering the collectible edition of Fallout 3 with a PIP-boy made in China that died in two days (they all did), then paid for one DLC after another.
#NEW VICTORIA III FULL#
CA ships every Total War product in time for Christmas, full of glaring bugs with the promise of a patch before the end of the year, and then you have to wait for the "second patch" that is supposed to fix gameplay issues, but it doesn't come out for six months and doesn't really fix the gameplay, around which time they announce an expansion for Christmas, and the cycle continues.
I've been burned too many times, particularly by Creative Assembly and Bethesda Softworks. yes that's been exactly my thinking for several years now. Or new DLC with added features for democracies, socialist, and communist governments. I suppose they could get away with designing the gameplay around being a Great Power, and then get you to pay for new features specific to playing Secondary Powers and Civilized countries, and then Uncivilized. I finally shelved it and decided to buy V2, and discovered that while it has many flaws, it is also the most ambitious of all Paradox games I've played, and is the only strategy game I've seen with a dynamic economy - which presents tremendous design challenges, but it is also a joy to watch a "living, breathing" world - something I last saw achieved in SimCity 4.īut you are right - the big problem with Paradox's shift to DLC is it enables them to release a half-baked game and then get people to pay for upgrades - but as you said, that sort of thing doesn't work in a highly integrated game like Victoria. in the case of CK2, I got sick of the endless DLC announcements - they'd always make me put off playing the game.
I've bought and played EU2, EU3, CK, CK2, HoI, HoI2.
