Trying to play historical Japan in this game is infuriating. The conditions for the Meiji restoration are so asinine that doing so by 1868 is effectively impossible. China is is a super-stable land+naval superpower beloved by everyone, meaning that conquering all of Indonesia is easier than taking a single province from Korea. The speed at which you achieve things is decided 99% by the random rolls you get for political reforms, which nearly made me lose my mind. Who the hell would design a game like this?
>>1311491Yeah.This is why earlier paradox games leaned on railroading. Because it's clear they can't pull off simulation, like how China was a decaying power, and how the Opium War didn't involve 45k British soldiers dying of attrition.
New milestone reached ladsLess then 5,000 players!A new low for Wiz
>>1311526its been like that a few weeks schizo, its stable now
>>1311533Fucking lying paradroneThe numbers have not stabilisedThey continue to fall
>>1311491wait 2 years until mods come out
The new CEO of Parakike was a CEO / upper management of a casino, keep that in mind when ""playing"" any of their new games.
>>1311535i also dislike this game, i want real war and more flavor but you are now exagerating, its 7000 players now, so the game revived or what?
>>1311538If you compare the numbers that were playing Victoria 3 a week ago at the same time of day you can see that there were 800 more players beforeClear as day that the numbers are falling
>>1311552thats means there are 800 who work this day, schizo
>>1311526Wiz is doing severe damage control, responding to tons of threads on the forums. You can tell he got a hit of reality.
>>1311559So why were they not working last week paradog?
>>1311567lmao yeah you right, i thought you were comparing numbers from weekends to work days
Does anyone know of a cheat or console command to make law pass chance 100%? This is driving me up the wall.
>>1311570fastenacti think it also affects AI so careful
>>1311491Paradox is an arrogant company. That's the best way to describe them and their behaviour. This means that they dismiss any criticism, believe they're always right and their customers are wrong, they know better than anyone else, etc. So when people gave feedback to the leak, Paradox just dismissed or banned them. When working on the game itself, Paradox didn't bother to playtest it, they figured whatever, it's a game we're making so it's great, we don't even need to test it, people will love it. Etc.They've gotten a rude awakening and it's been amazing seeing Johan go from "we don't give a fuck about the AI in singleplayer" to seemingly contrite in some of the threads on their forums. I think Victoria 3 has been Paradox's wake-up call. Not that I'm going to buy their products, mind you, I doubt they can even make a good game anymore.
>>1311578>I think Victoria 3 has been Paradox's wake-up call.People said the same thing about ImperatorBut in reality these fucking swedes never learn
>>1311580Imperator did humble Johan. Now V3 is (hopefully) humbling Wiz.
>>1311580I never had that impression, personally. To me Imperator looked more like an experiment and Paradox just concluded "guess the plebs don't want that era" rather than really admitting that it was bad. Yeah, they reworked it, but given that they basically abandoned it afterwards rather than making any effort to market the game after the rework, it feels like the rework wasn't because they thought the game was bad and needed fixing but rather because some particular dev wanted to put his mark on it or demonstrate some game design stuff to the other Paradox devs, and they had already included that fans just weren't interested in antiquity games (lol)
>>1311585It's exactly as I predicted. They're going to blame the time period for any of Vicky 3's failings and not the retards in charge of designing it.
>>1311614>failingsyou guys are in some kind of alt reality lol
>>1311614Imperator was an experiment, they already had two successful Victoria games.
>>1311491>Wiz in shamblesJohansisters, we won
>>1311615you can just admit the game isn't very good broyou don't need to keep sunk cost fallacy-ing yourself deeperit has some very serious fundamental design flaws, and i'm obviously not talking about the war system since that's been done to deathliterally nothing happens in game without state intervention
Could be worse. Try playing the Ottomans. You are hard coded to collapse in like twenty years if you don't rush arbitrary reforms.
>>1311622Paradox framed Johan with Imperator Literally wasn't even suppose to be a proper game and was just a fun side project that Johan and his buddies were working on
>>1311616>Imperator was an experiment>Do people still like Europa Universalis: Rome?>Not when it's badWeird Experiment.
>>1311491>Already averaging only around 7k and going as low as 4k, not even half a year of launch, it will have only 2k average in just a few months, such a massive fuckup
>>1311635Keep in mind that before V3 released V2 was averaging 2000. Just to put it into perspective.
>>1311674V2 is too old, it never had a steam presence, most people who have it either play a pirate copy or have from their old system, steam owners are few
>>1311491>made passing policies the same as EU4 siegesholy fuck, i didn't think paradox could get any dumber
>>1311763whats dumb about that
>>1311766because a siege being stalled at 77% for 10 ticks in a row is fucking ANNOYING
>>1311767not everything should be an easy power fantasy
>>1311769you've never played eu4
>>1311763No, it's worse. It's EU4 sieges if they could go backwards and get stuck at 0% until you move off the province and try again one year later.
>>1311775none of these all-lowercase vicky 3 enthusiasts have played a paradox game before, and i'm wagering they haven't even played the game they provide free publicity for for.
>>1311799>for forthe fuck did i just type lmfaoam i a skaven now
>makes post crying about paradox and how muh company hath fallen>proceeds to only play paradox gameswhy do paradrones do this?
>>1311803Because the alternatives are even worse.
>>1311803because they're still the only developers making games in this particular sub-genre. the only thing decent to come out of their games now are the mods. maybe something like grey eminence will come out and blow everyone away, but i'm not holding my breath.
>>1311807>>1311810Mindbroken
>>1311803Anon, DnD is the worst major TTRPG on the market for past 35+ years, and yet while its playerbase hates it guts, they keep playing anyway.Some things just give you irreversible brain damage.
You can not deny the excitement of playing Victoria 3. Sticky stinking pooey pants forever!
>>1311766Because it's a dumb way to modelize poltitical debates? Even assuming you want to keep the aweful roll system from EU sieges & Stellaris archeology (at least it's irrelevant in this one), why does the same timer rules1- The passage of the law by your legislative body2- The events that will alter the how your legislative body react to the lawThe former should pass as soon as it can (you can even imagine that different regimes require different threshold to pass laws, from "convince the king" in an absolute monarchy to "get 51% of the chamber" in a parlementiary republic), and the latter should happen anytime, not once every 6 months, and be dependant on IG, their leaders, and god knows what else.
>>1311578I have a different opinion. Paradox is not paradox anymore. The guys that made Victoria 2 CK2 HOI2 and EU are not there working but "managing" if you know what I mean. Now we have replacements doing their best to imitate good games from the past without the necesary experience and they ruin everything. Talented people don't just suddenly turn to shit without the help of retards dragging them down.
Will Wiz end up in the toilet after this?
>>1312029Inshallah
Why are there people against some of these laws? Who objects to a charity hospital existing? Or there being police? Or schools? What is the historical basis for any of this? In any state?
>>1312029Almost certainly, before this he was the guy known for '''''''saving''''''' Stellaris, so naturally he was given the dev lead on his own Victoria game and Paradox thought surely he will produce another bangerNaturally he landed himself face first in shit with his take on the Victoria series. Wiz had always been a guy who disliked fighting wars in Paradox games so it should come to no surprise to anyone that when he was finally in charge he just straight up cut that shit out of his game and have the AI do a weird imitation of war instead.bad vision, poor implementation, shit executionFuck you Wiz
>>1312039Imagine letting a developer who doesn't actually enjoy your war games take charge of one of them and remove the war from the war game.
>>1312029>>1312039IS WIZ TRANSEXUAL ? YES NO ?
>>1311491Ok, so wiz and johan fucked up, who's gonna fuck eu v and finish the company for good?
>>1312108Schizo
>>1312039>before this he was the guy known for '''''''saving''''''' StellarisMeanwhile Stellaris was honestly best at the start of the game's release and has gone downhill since. The added content is nice, but the core mechanic changes are not.I think the point at which Stellaris officially began turning to shit was when they replaced the interesting, morally grey "Collectivist vs Individualist" axis with the boring "evil meanie Authoritarian vs good guy Egalitarian" axis.
>>1312131Stellaris just feels like a super easy game unless you pump the difficulty up which allows the AI to cheatThe meta is always the sameRush for megastructures, once you got a dyson sphere deployed it's game over
>>1312128Kek based schizo more like, seethe lord tranny
>>1311567cause my brother james was in illinois, we couldn't do our multiplayer sorry y'all
>>1311960The sad answer is of course 'A dlc will fix this'.The hole in the puzzle is already there: Have you noticed when an Interest group leader vanishes, you get in quick succession 'an interest group leader leaves' and 'former politician dies' within 2 seconds?We will have eventually a 'musical chair' system for interest groups/characters that allows for different characters to be convinced/ take the lead.Victoria 3 will have it's own 'royal court' dlc called 'assembly' or 'caucus' or whatever, where you'll be able to give concessions to a sub interest group of the other party (say, ranchers in the rural party) to get them to cross the aisle and support your reform
Do you guys think this game will make a comeback? Or is it over? I don't think its an Imperator rome disaster yet but...
>>1312153Kek it confirmed BTFO, trannys and shills already seethe ! Next time whizz and johan make game without MArxist agenda and bias !!
>>1312131>Stellaris was honestly best at the start of the game's releaseAgreed. Whoever was in charge of Stellaris 1.0 is a genius who should be given a promotion.
>>1312131I absolutely loved stellaris 1.0. the only reason I keep playing the newest version is the added flavour. The rest of the improvements are really not that much of an improvement and more of a lame change. I do like archeology tho
>>1312153There is so much gold in Imperator that it can atleast be used in the next EU, the siege mechanics being one of them. Nothing can be salvaged out of victoria 3. It’s a newgrounds flash game where you build stuff to make numbers go up and everything else is an afterthought.
>>1312169Same here, archeology was one of the few good later additions. Release version Stellaris with QOL and flavor additions + archeology would be amazing.
>>1312108Obsessed
>>1312156Who the hell are you trying to convince with these awful posts? Are you doing the thing modern game devs do where they make a few racist posts somewhere and use them as an excuse to deflect all criticism onto racist nerd chuds instead of the failures of their own game?
>>1312215>>1312211Soros funded trannys shills arrive in this thread this early ? Hoho !
>>1312228Nobody types like that.At least try harder, dudeAlso Soros is such a 2016 meme, we just hate the jews in general now
>>1312238>Nobody types like that.
>>1312215>>1312238I don't believe a honest human could bite this obvious falseflaging bait.Stop doing this or I will treat you as an ESL obsessed samefag.
>>1312243kek trannys is all over this thread same faging and poisoning the well ! soros send everything he got at us brothers !! hold firm !!!
>>1312153Player retention stabilized at ~10k so they aren't going to take it behind the proverbial woodshed, but if you want DLCs to fix it look at how PDX failed to caitalize on CK3's apparent success and despair.
>>1312243>>1312244I pray for your eventual suicide when you realize you wasted your youthful years shitposting on the strategy games board of 4chan.

>>1312279Why are faggots like this?
>>1312285you're the one with cum on your face mate
>>1312153They've actually managed to kick Wiz's ass on the whole total sandbox thing, so there's a slim chance. They really gotta get off that APM trap that CK3 got hooked in ("click this, click here, click that, click again" shit that wasn't present in CK2 and makes the game less fun) and Victoria 3 has jumped into (conquered a state? that'll be 50 clicks dawg) in order to prosper IMO.

>>1312039>muh warsthats not even the worst part of the game, the economy and pops are 10000x worse.

>>1312329as if fucking a racist loser like you would make their dads happy lol
>>1312329actually i think its because we white boys are shorter, squishier, have smaller muscles bones penis etc, more useless, less masculine, no swag (no cool shoes except skechers that grandma bought for birthday)

The negro is uncomfortable to be there because he knows the girls all have the "wow, let's take a picture with the black guy - I bet he even smokes weed lol! Mom's gonna freak!" look on them, not taking him seriously as a person at all.There are tests for autists like you who have trouble reading faces out there to get a better hang of it. It seriously helps.

Lol the big devs are really in the forum, full of negative topics, doing damage control.This game is truly done.
>>1312928no it’s not
Someone has been screaming at wiz.
>>1312108spiritually
>>1312925holy shit your reading comprehension is actually horribleembarrassing but i guess it makes sense if you're actually black
>>1311674Will V3 have 2000 players 20 years from now?
>>1311834>and yet while its playerbase hates it gutsActual grogs are a minuscule part of the 5E playerbase.
>>1312928There was a reddit thread along the lines of "are paradox's best days behind it?" and Johan was in there replying to people complaining about Vic3/CK3 awful UI saying the studios all have different views on how to do things, i.e. "i'm not like those maniacs who removed message settings"
>>1312930Is over, they will never be able to make the war system and economy fun.And the lack of flavor/events is absurd, good luck selling 500$ of dlc for such basic content.

>>1313127Explain to me how is it wrong? Does the state put down national focuses to promote more craftsmen? Or increade loyalty for the conservative party, despite being governed by a liberal party?I don't even know how you got the idea you are playing the state in the first place, since that was never true in any paradox game.
>>1313128Apparently, this makes AI actually do way better for some reason, lol.
>>1313128Why? There is no point in the investment pool in the first place, since you can just crank up taxes and build from government budget.If anything, this will make it the unquestionably optimal strategy, since it prevents their shitty AI from building.
>>1313242Not, to mention, stop the bad IGs from building their buildings.
>>1313292How many different crops of the same image do you have, bro?Post your folder.
>>1313128I thought it might be the start of them retooling the entire game into something that isn't fundamentally terrible. But it's such a non-feature that you can turn it off without a mod, rather than the fundamental part of the game's systems it would need to be to develop into anything good.
>>1312925WE ARE ONE RACE, THE HUMAN RACE, chud.
Victoria 3 is not a direct sequel but "reimagination" (aka pull out of ass "vision") so paracucks should've called it "Spirit of Nation: a Victorian Era game" or something like that
This game crashes monthly at the lategame, seemingly due to running out of memory. Silly me for thinking 16GB was enough.
>>1313349And all because of those fucking shitty 3d pop models
>>1312316Lmfao buck broken.
>>1311491An international finance dlc would be so fucking good. Imagine funding your whole country off interest paid to you by ither countries.
I have run the figures.The data shows that Victoria 3 has helped over 187,000 users evacuate their bowels.Over 245,000 liters of HOT LIQUID SHIT has been collected from the steaming buttholes of previously constipated players.That is no small accomplishment. We should celebrate that.

>>1313940This shit is literally not insulting to anyone except /int/ spergs insecure about their race
>>1313947then why do you think what you typed was insulting at all then you fucking retard
>>1313945>don’t like my reddit memes? fuck you you’re a paki you ok bro
>>1313950i like how you're larping as british now, very cute
>>1313949Refer to “/int/ spergs”, all you ESLs who arrived here in the last 5 years or so are virtually indistinguishable from that board
>>1313950The irony of asking someone if they're okay when you're still sperging out over /vst/'s reaction to Victoria 3
>>1313954you say that and then file the 175th report for “racism” of today
>>1313953how large do you think the demographic of poles on /vst/ even is dudeyou're probably screeching at random americans considering the fact poland literally does not care about autistic culture war stuff but burgers eat that shit up just like food with high fructose corn syrup in it
>>1313950nta but yes, reddit memes are peak white culture
>>1313956I only report shit like porn and rekt videos, but cool projection bro. I'm imagining you've reported me for some bullshit reasonBut if I were to report you for anything, it'd probably be for starting or participating in a flame war, which is what you do in every single thread you participate ini don't think i've ever seen you say anything about strategy games at all save for shitting on them because le esls play them
>>1313957>poland literally does not care about autistic culture war stuffYou live under a rock or something? Poles literally believe they’re being harassed by a wizard named George Soros who is trying to turn their children homosexual, so they do hilariously retarded shit like proclaim “anti LGBT zones”. Sorry but your countries are just as retarded and mixed ancestry as the USA lol

>>1312316>Thats absolutely unacceptable of PDX - to sell a product which you know is unplayableAlways funny to see comments like these about Victoria 3's release written by people who clearly weren't around for Victoria 2's release. That's not to say the comments aren't justified, it's just interesting to see how at one point there was progress with Paradox making playable releases (CK2, EUIV), and now we're back to the "old" Paradox releasing sloppas that you have to wait for a year before playing.

Oh great, the schizos are feeding off each other
did you get banned or something EOP mudskin?
I'm willing to give it a try once the autonomous investment is in and the price goes half off. It was my biggest grievance when I played the leak.

>>1311578>Paradox is an arrogant company. That's the best way to describe them and their behaviour. This means that they dismiss any criticism, believe they're always right and their customers are wrong, they know better than anyone else, etc. So when people gave feedback to the leak, Paradox just dismissed or banned them.Thats just what a lot of swedes are like. Really not sure what makes them this way, but it is noticeable.

another quality v3 threadthere's so much gameplay discussion, as expected of such a great release
>>1314312it's a shit game and the only thing its defenders say is>lol i assumed you're a slav for no reason therefore i can ignore anything you say and spam the word esl at you lol
>>1314312The best part is paradox released a dev diary and it generated only a couple of posts. This game needs so much work and yet they move at a glacial pace.
>>1314140Nordic superiority mixed with German autism, they can’t admit they are wrong
Starting a Sweden game. The AI mod I have doesn't work so gotta manage this shit
For some reason every time I play Victoria 3 I poo my pants. Uncontrollably. Its quite embarrassing, dumping a hot sticky mess into your pants, having to waddle like a penguin to the bathroom to clean up. But the worse thing is people now know I play Victoria 3. Quite often I get called on the streets"Hey, there's old pants crapper! Hows your campaign going? lol, mashing them 3 buttons! haha! Colonized Greenland yet?"Itt makes me so angry! The dumb fucks dont even know you cant colonize Greenland.
>>1314314Butthurt
Never have I seen something as sad as this thread.
>>1314768Never been to /b/, have you?
>>1314768Just another thread ruined by the esl obessed black iphone tranny
>>1314774Nope, for this precise reason. Left /v/ because of shit like this too. Smaller boards are vastly more on-topic.Still, I meant what I said, it's just depressing to think someone would consider it productive or entertaining to spend days in one thread "arguing" with another anonymous person. Scarily obsessive behaviour.
>>1314788Well, it is my hope that both of them are actually bots but who knows, lots of schizos and autists out there.
>>1314795tbf there's nothing really to discuss about Vicky 3It's a shit game so everyone just starts trolling
>>1314795Yeah, true.
>>1314777Mad because you’re poor?
>>1314827Come on tranny, I thought you'd have a better response then that
>>1314841He somehow thinks it's 2012 and that iPhones are still somehow a luxury item lmfaowe don't hate you because you're "rich", we hate you because you've never made a good post like most other phoneposters
>>1314551The scat-shitposter saves this thread once again
>>1314853They're a luxury item to perpetually poor and butthurt thirdworlders
>>1314841you can tell when the ESL is on the verge of tears when it brings up both trannies and phones they cant afford
>>1314930but you still got bullied for having a brown skin, and you're still crying over it lmao
damn, you guys sure are having fun with the game
>>1315345I am not sure I would call it fun. You try cleaning up after yourself following a particularly heavy bout of VIOLENT DIARRHEA which results in a JET of HOT and STICKY STINKING SHIT BLASTING out of your RAW and GAPING ANUS every time you sit down to play Victoria 3. Such is the excitement.I mean the game is fun, but cleaning up the mess afterwards is not.
>>1315100where did your gay little pictures you made after I reminded you of your cousins and brothers getting slaughtered by the dozen in ukraine go
>1 month ban from a thread where I’m pointing out that linear capitalist growth due to employment mechanics is a shitty thing that makes it so that capitalists invest money into buildings they don’t own and thus don’t profit from>the post that got me banned was just me calling out a shill for intentionally and repeatedly arguing over some dumb shit which didn’t even detract from my pointWiz strikes again>inb4 phonepostingI already shut down my pc for the night I’m not booting it back up
>>1315570it was an amazingly stupid debate where both you and your opponent were actually agreeing with each other whole this time
>>1315488>cousins and brothersvatniggers are not pole's brothers, fuck off
>>1315710they’re as low iq and retardedly nationalist as eachother easy to mistake really
>>1315725>easy to mistake reallyesl-tier sentence structure
>>1315710Your all stupid slavs to me Igor
>>1315776>yourLemme guess, the joke here is you bitch about ESLs while being one yourself.
>>1315782The only people I've seen complain about saying "your" instead of "you're" are ESLs
>>1311491That's because the game is shit , boring and the definitive edition of the meme "look how they massacred my boy.
>>1315792A likely story. Heads, you lose and you're an ESL, tails I win and you're still an ESL.Like fucking clockwork.

>>1315825>the American thinks I'm not whiteThank god, Arabs and Mexicans are counted as white by your census lmfaoThat's assuming you are actually a white American and not a nigger or some other trocidad de las Américas considering how much of a BLACKED obsession you have
>>1315849Atrocidad
>>1315849This comment was typed with coal hands
>>1315682We didn’t even agree though, that guy was legitimately retarded. I was specifically talking about capitalists being able to make money from their investments and ownership shares, that guy thought I was talking about whether capitalists made money at all. I told him like 5 times that whether they made more money from throughput bonuses didn’t matter because the fundamental issue was the linear growth of capitalists with building level.
The new dev diary looks so disappointing. Literally an auto-play button. Feels bad. I had fun at launch though I'm new to the series.
>>1315899It proves that the devs genuinely don't get it.
>>1315905My cock is bigger than yours
>>1315924Wiz here to derail another threadmaking fun of him
>>1315936Ridiculous fucking reply
>>1315941As is claiming that your cock is bigger than someone else's in a Victoria 3 thread on an anonymous imageboard. Cool bro, congrats, but I'm not gay so I'm not interested.
>>1315946Are you mad that Wiz has a bigger dick than yours
>>1315946you ever suck a cock before ?
>>1315973No.Fuck off, faggot.
This new diary is very promising. Finally there would be autonomous pop investments instead of clicky-clicky. Feels great. Launch was really disappointing.
>>1315905Unfortunately it's just going to be a meme-government class based system with a buncha prompts telling me how to play. I get why they're doing this though. If they don't this game is unironically for IQs 120+ and diehard humanity nerds.
>>1315985I'm open to it. I'll still give it a try but I feel like the only thing left to think about is subsidizing. I admit I'm not very good yet.
>>1315985Yeah, two years from now once the game is fully automated, they can finally un-automate war so you have something to do.
>>1315977you want to suck my cock ?
>>1315419You have to balance these things out Anon. I am sure that once you do a proper cost/benefit analysis you will discover the joy that comes from playing Victoria 3 far outweighs any collateral damage.
>>1316071I don't need something to click every minute, game where everything happening on its own and you are just steering the direction with flags, sliders and some toggles once per few minutes is my dream game. War should be revamped but it should have less micro than now, not more.
>>1315990>If they don't this game is unironically for IQs 120+the game is piss easy, what are you talking about?
>>1316310No
>>1316491Go away. Go hump a pillow or something you horny fuck.Can't even keep it in his pants on a strategy game board. Fucking cvmbrain.
>game is so uninteresting niggers are arguing with each otherIt's over, vicky sisters...
>>1316545I knew it was DoA the moment we had threads claiming it was bad, before release, because it doesn't have political compasses.I have literally never heard that argument since release.
>>1316545It will never die as long as the paracuck keeps buying the next "read event logs, accumulate modifiers and spend mana to get more modifiers" gayme
>>1316503I want to put my cock inbetween your lips slave
ABOUT THOSE VIDEO GAMES HUH
>>1316434I play with other people, not just against bots
>>1316605Play with my dick whore
>>1316607You don't even like video games. You just pretend to be cool. You probably play like softball or something on the weekend.
>>1316626Come and play with me and my cock bitch
>>1316644Go back to /trash/
>playing as Russia>at war with Qing>the goal is to conquer Manchuria>the entire border is somehow a single front>where the battle takes place is completely random and you have no ways to change that>2 years lates stuck at 0 war support despite winning every single battle because lol you don't have the war goalHow is it even possible to make something this bad?
>>1316324Its difficult to do such an ANALysis because the amount of joy I get from playing Victoria 3 is intangible compared to the materiel cost of replacing my pants. Why, just yesterday I was playing Victoria 3 when SUDDENLY I was overcome by the excitement and I literally BLEW my nice new green colored corduroy trousers to SMITHEREENS with a veritable GEYSER of FILTHY HOT FECES!Those trousers cost me a lot. I dont know how I can balance that cost against the joy of playing Vic3.
>>1314312kek what is there to discuss? the game is shit, at least the threads about it are a nice schizo containment zone.
>>1312317Meanwhile Vicky 2 has fallen to a three digit player count from 3000 active players a year ago. What is likely happening is that those who enjoyed Vic 2 are also loving Vic 3 and moving on to the new game from the old. Those who dropped the game are normies who love EU4 and CK3. And the latter is much bigger audience than the former, hence the low player numbers.
My pants are full of poo. Again!
>>1317822Victoria 3 isnt even a victoria game, they just some tablepot simulator and putt the victoria name in it.Victoria 2 still has the best economic system simulation unmatched.
>>1317879no it doesnt
>>1317822Only people who are still playing Vic 3 are trannies are shills Keep coping Wiz
>>1317885dae kek shill tranny cope kek?? :^) xDD
>>1317887Hello iphone trannykek in your face
>>1317881Name a better one then.
>>1317894Victoria 3
>>1317896>goods quantities are literally just modifiers for "prices" which is how much money flows from or disappears into the aetherIt's not even an attempt at simulation. Not to mention, Wiz all but admitted that he lost with caving in and trying to patch over his shitty design with automation.
>>1317904Still better than Victoria 2
>>1317905This is shit bait
>>1317904It's way more realistic than in Vic 2 where everything made above demand is just dumped into the ocean. When you sell something for cheap enough, somebody will buy and when you are willing to pay a high enough price somebody will sell it to you.Now prices of goods can actually wary long-term and not stay the same arbitrary base price the entire game.
Fucking hell Wiz
>>1318020The problem with this is that it's one step forward two steps back.Yeah it would be nice to have this economy in vic 2.But with EVERYTHING ELSE IN VIC3 DECONSTRUCTED TO SHIT it's not fucking worth it.There is no game to play it's just raw mechanics and stupid micro.Thank god they didn't force us to set the railroads and set up the trade inside the country MANUALLY.I bet they had some ideas like that.Victoria 3 is basically anti-Victoria 2.It's not good because if you ruin and destroy every single mechanic you should at least provide something that works instead
>>1318083heres the emotional baby with his hilarious random capitalisations again lol. you type like chris chan
>>1318096>random capitalisationsNow I know you're a retard
>>1318101autistic as hell response
>>1318103weaktry again with something that isn't reddit tier
>>1318106nerve struck
>>1318096That's actually me, I'm the person who posted the "Rome 2 has better internal politics than Imperator" post, the poster who said Warhammer sieges were kino, and the poster who was complaining about migration mechanics in DeI, that guy isn't me, I stopped randomly capitalizing my words
>>1318107I said not reddit tierEither call me a nigger or fuck off back
lol, this thread is hilariously pathetic. Two fuckwits arguing back and forth like a gay couple, and the poo poster making the occasional poo post.Ironic that the poo posts are the only entertaining thing.
>>1318175kek in your face
>>1318096It doesn't matter whether i capitalize or not.I capitalized things i deemed important such as the "deconstruction of victoria 2". I could use quotes or text.The reason why victoria 3 is failing is because the devs have an outdated life philosophy. You can't make a good game when your entire life goal is to deconstruct and make fun of everything and do dumb stuff to spite your boomer parents.
>>1318024This is a weekday but the weekend numbers aren't much better and don't even breach 10000 anymore. I just want them to fire Wiz already and bring back Johan.
>>1313994I mean, the only part about Vic 3 that was genuinly unacceptable was the end game lag. And that was also true for Stellaris, Eu3-4, CK, basically every game they ever made.
>>1311491Already bellow 7k hahahaha, this "game" is dying faster than I'm balding lmao
>>1318332CK3 is the only game they've made that was genuinely lag-free for the entire timeline, at least for me. Victoria 3 is absolutely embarrassing in comparison
I have pooed my pants. I will poo my pants again.
Game is so bad and so dead, that shills don't even bother to talk bad about it anymore, is just fading into oblivion already
>>1313128They can't even make Russia properly prioritize colonization. I have zero faith in their ability to make this feature anything except a trainwreck.
>>1318212I just want Wiz to admit he was wrong
>>1311491Vicky 3 kinda sucks right now. Had one really strong playthrough as America, but other attempts to recreate it failed, its too RNG. Go for Crusader Kings 3 for more biased incel gaming (Messalianism witch incest blood father is OP)
Wo-oah, we're halfway there WO-OAH, LIVING ON A PRAY!!!

>>1318706ESL>>1318708Mad?
>>1318715If you hate ESLs so much why are you shilling for Paradox, a swedish company?
>>1318716Because he doesn't hate ESLs, he just hates slavs and assumes anyone who opposes him is one. It's really childish down to its core.
>>1318726Meds?
>>1318729I don't like Italians, Spaniards and so on, no.
>>1318731Terminally unfunny Redd/int/or post
>>1318734You know, your attempts at gaslighting would work better if you didn't use a copy-pasted response whenever someone triggers you by using unapproved banter. Embarrassing.I'm pretty sure your weird vendetta against slavs features a lot of boring /int/ tier banter but you never see us bringing that up, do you?
>>1318735Us being /vst/ as a whole because you're going to take it out of context as per usual
It is either a bot or a troll, though I am leaning towards bot. The game is just too terrible to discuss it and the playercount keeps dropping. Only a major patch will save Vic 3 but the glacial speed at which paradox is working will seal the fate of this game.
>>1318735>gaslightingyou a teenage girl or something? raise your T levels fag

>>1318962I know why you're doing it, doesn't make it any less retarded
>>1311502I haven't followed vic3 at all but have they at least fixed the problem that evry war was essentially all or nothing? Is it possible to have small scale wars like the boxer rebellion? if that happened in vic2 It would hundreds of thousands of troops being involved
>>1319016Why am I doing it then lol tell me
>>1319024Because you're convinced everyone you dislike is polish, not hard to figure out
>>1319027Why did you ask then retard
>>1319034Probably because I'm confused as to why you're bothering.
>>1318987>implying it isn't the same schizo taking to himself

I hate /gsg/
>>1318646CK3 had a better launch but honestly it was a shade of things to come, with the direction it showed PDX was taking it made something like Victoria 3 more or less inevitable
dude look at himhe's your SPYMASTERhe organizes SPIES and ASSASSINShe is in charge of your assassination and dirty work!this is reflected through his ominous body language and his handling of a DAGGER, a weapon commonly associated with assassinswhen you wanna MURDER an infant, he's your guy
>>1319330Why is his cutting off his finger?
>>131295312 years and Vic 3 will have more
Hold on...just checking my pants for poo. Why yes, my pants are full of poo! How did you know I play Victoria 3?
Thinking about i dont know if it's worth pirate downloading.
>Paradox reduced to thisMaybe Johan was right afterall
>>1315899Thanks Sean
>>1319833Adolescence is thinking Johan is ruining Paradox, adulthood is realizing he was the only talent it ever had.
>>1320840Johan had talent, but he also committed some grave mistakes in the past, particularly thinking that every series should be turned into EU4.
>>1320851Imperator definitely humbled him, you can tell from his forum posts. Overall I am hopeful for EU5.
>>1320840As hated as he is today he was responsible for the successes of yesterday.
>>1320851I mean, considering the state Imperator, CK3, and Victoria are in, I don't see how making them more similar to EU4 would make things worse.
>>1321321Imperator's salvage efforts were on the right track but they didn't commit.
>>1321321EU4 is okany new game being like EU4 is not okit's very simple to understand this and why this is the casealso CK3 and nu-Imperator are also ok games, better than EU4 in many ways even
I have pooey pants, how about you?
>>1318444CK3 was a VERY smooth start.
>>1316696>goal-based warscore in a game where you can't actually go to the goalKino
WE'RE ALMOST THERE FOLKS!
>>1322505Almost where?
>>1322513imperator-levels. Soon pdx will have to either face reality and pull support and throw wizz to the hungry wolves, or keep on pretending and become increasingly schizo and alienated from reality. Both would mean good laughs for us.
>>1322505>>1322522The next patch will bring the numbers way up. You'll see.
>>1322524Ok, wiz, I'm sure that slightly undermining your superior vision will be enough to bring the numbers up to stable 10k.
>>1322531I'm not Wiz...
>>1322505Oh lord.
>>1322531So is it just one faggot that's mad about Victoria 3, or are there multiple?
>>1322524>The next patch will bring the numbers way up. You'll see.It's bring numbers up for a weekthen crash back down when people realize the patch didn't actually change anything meaningful and the game is the same shallow cookie clicker it was before the patch
After playing Victoria 3 repeatedly I have heavily ingrained shit stains on my pants. Can anyone recommend a good stain remover?
>>1322575Revo Uninstaller
>>1322543If it was just one, there will be constructive discussion of the game rather than people ranting about trannies and ESLs.
>>1322524The patches that made Imperator into a semi-decent game didn't bring player numbers up.
>>1321325Too much meatballs to be consume.
God damn I hate this buggy shitstain of a game.Playing Austrian puppetmaster with Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Columbia and Venezuela under my yoke.Mexico is in my customs union.Suddenly, Mexico leaves CU due to bad relations, even though relations where excellent.A few months later all my South American puppets become independent, with no ounce of information and not even a truce for whatever fuck-shit reason.Edited save file, to re-puppet them as experiment, two months later they get independent again. Switched to Brazil to see their view, and at the magic tick they just leave without ANY single drop of information. No Event, no prestige drop, no changes to my #2 Great Power country, NOTHING.What the fuck is going on? Droping this turd instantly for ruinining 10 years of ingame progress with their garbage early access shit of a game.0/10 Don't play this waste of time.
>>1322550>>1322679Imperator was a bad game that people didn't want to play anymore. Victoria 3 is a great game that is just currently flawed, and there's tens of thousands of people who are just waiting for fixes before jumping back in. The situation is completely different.
>>1322744Where is the greatness, unironically?
>>1322744>and there's tens of thousands of people who are just waiting for fixes before jumping back in. The situation is completely different.That literally is the exact same situation you fucking retardVictoria 3 is a boring cookie clicker with no warfareYou really think a few bug fixes is gonna fix the player count?
>>1322744The fuck are you talking about. Even with mods the whole game is a shallow buggy mess.Instead of turning Victoria 2 + GFM /HPM into a modernized coat, they've created this pathetic buggy mobile game, thats pretending to be a good game the same way a Transexual is pretending to be a woman.It just makes you vomit and hope it comits suicide, because it's so disgusting.
>>1322748Nowhere, I just wanted some easy (You)s
>>1322522>imperator-levelsNot really. Imperator had way worse numbers at this point. This game is following a a very similiar curve as Stellaris. See picrel>Soon pdx will have to either face reality and pull support and throw wizz to the hungry wolves, or keep on pretending and become increasingly schizo and alienated from reality. Both would mean good laughs for us.I would prefer them to fix the game's issues instead.
>>1322771>This game is following a a very similiar curve as StellarisStellaris currently has over twice as many players playingVery poor comparison
>>1322774By this point after release, Stellaris had similiar number of players.
PARADOXHIRETHISMAN
>>1322778Back then the paradox community was also much smaller so not exactly a good 1 to 1 comparison Just face it Wiz your game is a fucking flop
>>1322810What am I supposed to be looking for?
>>1314551>For some reason every time I play Victoria 3 I poo my pants. UncontrollablySame man, i have resorted to wearing a butt plug and diapers at all times im near Victoria 3, and even then sometimes the liquid popo bursts out of it and stains my chair, but i don't even care anymore at that point, i just want to keep playing Victoria 3, such a great game.
I hope they do something and salvage it. Vicky deserves better and the dev diaries were manipulative
>>1322603
>>1322730Threw the game in the trash..Why make a diplomacy focused game, when the diplomacy aspect ends up being worst part?
>>1322864>and the dev diaries were manipulativeWhat do you mean?
>>1322940Because Wiz tried to deconstruct victoria 2 and ended up creating a shitstain, because victoria 2 is arguable one of the best grand strategy games ever made.He made the opposite because it's a popular fad.
>>1322945Managing armies in vic 2 fucking sucks. You build your armies in the perfect ratio go to war. Army organization goes to shit and you are just doom stacking conscripts and infantry and after you win you get to spend the next 90 minutes reorganizing your entire army.
>>1323116Yes. I don't see whom you're trying to gotcha with these tactics that were popular with pre-vic3 release shills, yet suddenly were silenced once the game actually released.Victoria 2 is a flawed game, so why not improve on its unique, yet flawed mechanics instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater?
Wiz made a game that made money and got good reviews. That's all Paradox management cares about.Things like long-term player retention are a problem for the next set of executives, after your bonuses arrive and your stock options are released.
>>1322840Britain having the world's largest economy is a rare occurrence past a few decades into the start date, usually it's Austria or France (or whatever country the player is because the AI is utterly incompetent). He's surprised because Britain is actually able to maintain it here.
GREAT SQUIRTS OF HOT LIQUID SHIT PUMPING OUT OF MY ASS RIGHT NOW!Such is the excitement of Vicky3
>>1322852Based
Less then 7,000 average players nowWiz we're waiting for your apology
>>1323271That's still more than 6000 players literally crapping their pants with excitement!
>>1318643He never will. When morons like this release a game to negative reception, he'll come back with some smarmy "hehe, I guess the public wasn't ready for it yet" bullshit.
Damn we got so close brosMaybe another day it will finally happen
>>1322771damn, this actually is a really good graph to show things off. so far it's on the low end but certainly not imperator tier by any stretch of the imagination. we'll see if it eventually picks up like stellaris or keeps declining -- personally hoping for the latter, paradox needs to learn a hard lesson here (again).
>>1322945Argued by retards, maybe. lmao
>>1323293>paradox needs to learn a hard lesson here>don't fuck with Vicky autists>we wuz tough guys n shit
>>1323301the hard lesson is about not releasing a non-functioning product, retard
>>1323302lollmaoIs this your first Paradox release, you literal child? This genre isn't popular, never was, and never will be. It will never bring in the bux that coomer gachashit will, or Cawadooty, or a hat simulator can. The release is always the lowest point, and DLC is just payment for continued development. This is the way. It was always the way. And "competing" devs don't take the DLC route, that's why we don't talk about their games, and don't play them. Because they are memes, unfinished, or unfinished memes. Slitherine is irrelevant.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
>>1323309Cope and seethe.
>>1323310Hello WizWorried that you game is about to be canned?
>>1323311Nope.I don't have a Wiz reaction pic. I need some.
I really dont get the hate Victoria 3 is getting. I mean sure, there are a few flaws, but every paradox game has those. They will be fixed in good time. But overall its a highly immersive, intriguing and deeply strategic game which requires a masterful understanding of all its intricacies to really enjoy. Perhaps that is the issue. It simply filters out subhumans who can not cope with high end strategy. A bit like how hoi3 filters out the stupids, it just gate-keeps low intelligence out of the game. Unfortunately there is no dumbed down version like hoi4 for all the morons to play instead. So the retards bitch and moan and circle jerk each other off. Paradox should really buy the rights to "RISK", and relabel it as "Victoria 4", that would keep all the dumb bitches happy.
>>1323313Jesus Christ, Denton. How contemptible do you have to be to provoke bait like this?
>look at blue numbers>press buttons so blue numbers become yellow numbers>40 years in your GDP is 3 times any other countrySuch deeply strategic game. Much wow.
>>1323313Cmon man make it believable at least.
>>1311803Their old games are really fun. CK2 and hoi p3 especially. Despite its problems eu4 is the best game in its setting. Way better than any alternatives.
>>1312153It’s the worst case scenario. >vicky3 has terrible sales>suits see this and divert resources to other projects >development ends by 2024>never getting a new Victoria gem ever again
>>1312153Imperator did better than this, especially considering it was a sequel to a less known game. Victoria 3 died fast, and I don't think people will be willing to come back. They could have spent another year working on it, and no one would mind it. It's a completely broken game that unless they make serious changes it won't become playable. I don't think any previous Paradox game was this much of a mess at release.

i literally come to this thread to see if there's any news and there's fuck all news.What the fuck are those retards doing over there for the whole fucking january? Procrastinating while eating kid sized vegan pizzas or something?Lazy faggots.
>>1325290>Our preliminary release date for Update 1.2, assuming all goes according to plan, is March 13th.

>>1325706paradox and ca are in a competition on who can bankrupt the fastest.
>they're pulling a bannerlordKinda embarassing.That said, if what they've anticipated at their "game jam" will be implemented further on, I'm kind of content with post release development plans.The game itself had a shit launch, but with bugfixes and much needed polishing, add some tons of flavour and general user interface; I can see it becoming on par to victoria 2. Sure some aspects are inferior, as has been with some comparisons between ck2 and ck3, but there's also aspects which are both better or at least more fun than the previous entry. Unlike ck2 to ck3 they're actually attempting to improve things and shake it up a bit, leaving ck3 to just be an empty ck2 with changes no one ever asked for. That said, vicky2 fans probably prefer vicky2 mechanics and whatnot anyway.
