Ok only a bit of fun. We already have a thread on the way monarch points are breaking the game.

We have another with a list of things that a person doesn't like about the game.....which incidently is basically now, another DLC thread.

Steam has a "its too complicated thread"

Come tomorrow once released, what is going to he the main rage thread. It happens every release.....or demo in this case. For any sequels ever created. And no matter how polished or good the game is, there's gonna be complaints. So..... Take your bets on a) which is the first complaint STARTED after 4pm cest.

And b) which complaint has the most pages (started after 4pm cest) by midnight cest.

If anyone correctly guesses both they can have my free copy ck2. If no exact I choose a winner that is the closest.

Good luck

I'd bet technical issues would be the first. And probably the most prolific.

I imagine tomorrow will be one of the greatest days of posting historical inaccuracies we have ever had the pleasure to watch. Mmmmmmmm. This will be more fun then the release of the Old Gods.

I'm playing Venice! They shouldn't have financial problems!

I'm playing Spain!! They should automatically get explorers!!

I'm playing Savoy!! I should be able to form Italy easily!

I'm Brandenburg!! Why can't I beat Austria!?

It is and will always be, "I BOUgHT It aT (such and such place)! were IS TEh GAMEZ? sTEaM SUckZ! LUlZ!"


Sorry for the painful typing... but we already know this is and will be the worst and most common. First thing I heard about EU4 other than the release date was that it would only be available through Steam as it's easier for them to release and update the games. Mix that with the fact that you can still run the game without Steam running at all (At least if it's the same as Crusader Kings II) by just making a shortcut to the launch exe. It's quite literally just a simple way to consolodate all downloading and updating to a central location.

Paradox has always been good in this way. They still allow you to run the game WITHOUT Steam running. You just need it to install and update your game. That's it.
