Broken or working?

[sonofliber]

So we have a a little more than a week to go for EU4 so i decided to ask the comunity (it was going to be a poll but no idea where the poll button is), do you think the game will be playable at release (aka CK2, V:HoD) or unplayable (aka all the other releases )
for me it looks like paradox step up their game when it comes to beta testing after V2, so while i dont expect it to be bug free, it will be playable, what do you guys think?


disclaimer: i not for 1 second thing this game will suck, its more like how much time will it take to get there (from the start, or after the first patch)

I am going to think it is playable.

 

[Illanair]

Considering how "playable" Heart of Darkness was, I'd say the odds are good.

Playable - CKII paved the way

 

[murlocmancer]

From Quill18 videos, hte only problem is a crashing problem but Paradox has already said they fixed that as his version is old

 

[Gemberkoekje]

If Quill's videos are anything to go buy, I'd definetly go for playable, barring some bizarre release bugs where for example files are missing or mismatched (Which should be found and fixed within a day)

I think Paradox learned a valuable lesson from the release of the very unplayable Bugs of Iron III. Since then all releases have been nearly flawless.

Well in Quill's videos pretty much every part ended in a crash lol, although that is a old preview copy.

Anyway, i expect the game to have a few bugs like most games do at release, but playable and enjoyable.

"Playable"- it won't crash at start, but we simply will curse paradox for completely unhistorical things in game Like in CK2.

That was purely due to FRAPS doing some weird shyte, i don't think that's as much the game's fault (It's better if it'd be fixed, of course!)

All these years later and I still have nightmares over it.

EU4 will be fine.

 

[wolfing]

It will work fine. There will be the usual odd cases of people reporting problems, but that's normal as there are so many combinations of hardware/software in the PC world. Hell, I even reported a bug once and then found out it was something in my computer, worst thing is that it only happened in CK2 so I thought it was a CK2 problem, but it wasn't

Playabe + first patches in first week.
It is better to have 3000 "free beta-testers" than only 20

Pretty sure he switched recording software half way through when he mentioned that. He then said in one of his videos that one of the devs said it was a bug to do with coalitions causing the crashes.

yep coalition bug.

In paradox' defense, as they know of it now, they've fixed it by now. I hope

 

[Enewald]

The good thing is, Paradox actually fixed the bugs. I know games that have devs that simply do not give a damn about some bugs.
Ofc some bugs always get through, but we shall again see how fast Paradox manages to pump out the first hotfixes and patches.

Since humans are imperfect, so are games made by humans. But at least Paradox crushes the meanest bugs!
