No art is way worse than placeholder art. I'm curious as to why there hasn't been a hotfix yet (shouldn't be too difficult if the issue is releasing the wrong build, although i'm happy to be corrected on this). I think there is some major problem in the code that derails many things off track, but the issue seems too big to be so (i think).
Also Ming apparently cannot upgrade the Great Wall of China because their culture group is not Chinese.

Some of those positives are negative... but for some reason they decided to give it a thumbs up

Also I read them and confirm half the positive reviews are trolls like these ones
or people who say this is broken but recommend because they seem to enjoy the brokenness like these ones:

You should see the reviews of board games funded via Kickstarter. They get hundreds of 10/10 reviews years before release from people who basically do a blind preorder.

Honestly, did anyone expect anything different? Was there anything over the last few months that made you think this would be a quality product?
The DDs were sparse, feature streams were vague and probing, there wasn’t a dev clash, etc. Devs have barely responded to any concerns here for months.
I had already decided not to buy the DLC. I was assuming it would be a poor product. It turns out that 1.31 is DOA, especially without Leviathan. It’s bordering on contempt at this point. Vote with your wallets.
PS - there are a lot of easily findable bugs that aren’t getting posted here because folks want to keep them as exploits. It’s probably not the best thing to do for game health, but most are so obvious that any amount of play testing would have ID’d them.

For some reason the monuments only check the local culture/religion and not of the culture/religion of the

Magazine articles, reviews, youtube videos, interviews, etc are all planned out months in advance based upon the release date. Move that release date and it becomes major industry news, stock prices take a hit, heads will roll. Release it in a suboptimal state with a quick series of hot fixes and it is just a blip on the forums.

It's because the monument effects go to their owner, not the overlord.

The general opinion of a game like Cyberpunk was way more affected by its botched release than by its multiple postponings, and I'm fairly sure small communities' perception is more important for a niche game like EU4, but we're getting offtopic.
I think you misunderstood the bug there. I could not confirm it myself, but what he says has nothing to do with subjects.

Sorry, I wrote the wrong thing and fixed it as soon as I noticed. It's still broken anyway.

This is so untrue that words aren't enough. Projects get delayed all the time. Like everyday without heads rolling. Like projects delay and they are a blip on the forums for a week.

So far only Rights of Men, Rule Britania and El Dorado have Mostly positive rating, Everything else is like this:
Mixed, Mostly Negative, Mixed, Mixed, negative etc. Constant complains of stillborn features, lack of balancing, complete lack of QA plagued Paradox for years and even new studio have been created problems seem to got even worse. If things continue like this EUIV will become second Stellaris, with mountains of issues, disjointed features that nevre work together and tech debt so great that people doubt it could be salvaged without making Stellaris II from the scratch.

And judging by the last HOI4's DD -and the rightfully negative reactions it received - the future might not be very bright on that end, either. Right now I can only praise Imperator, they are turning the tables, slowly and steadily after a disastrous release. Crusader Kings III might be a good game one day, after the customary tons of dlcs and half-dozen years, if of course Paradox doesn't ruin it in the meanwhile (nowadays you never know). But right now it's still very far from CK II.

Eh, if you read through the actual reviews about 40% of negative ones are solely bashing the DLC policy, another 35% are bashing stuff that was actually in the free patch not the DLC, and another 10% include one or both of those with some minor criticism of the actual DLC.

Aside from agreeing with the OP, I would like to add that we really do not need a few dozens of complain threads. It would be better if people would continue ongoing threads.
