What to do with my upcoming CK2 copy?

[MrLebanon]

I might give mine to my father, who is just now getting back into the gaming scene after a 10 year break.

Don't scare him away!

You NEED to try CKII. Here's why.

That's not why CK2 is the best, it's a list of lists of best games.

So I am apparently one of the few people on the forums who hasn't gotten CK2 yet. Of course, I've heard that it's really good, and that it has been Paradox's most polished release. However, I'm not sure I'd be that into playing a dynasty instead of a country, and the game seems a bit overwhelming. Also, I plan to play EU4 a LOT: the NIs, trade system, and all the other improvements means there are 40-50 different countries I want to eventually play in EU4, which will probably take 2-3 years in real life. But then I won't be playing CK2. So, should I wait until I'm bored with EU4 to play CK2(and probably use the converter I'll also be getting) or alternate between the 2 games? I feel like I already know how to play EU4 because of the streams and quill's Let's Plays. But I don't really know how to play CK2, even after looking at some video tutorials (CK2 seems to be more complicated, even if it's supposed to be one of Paradox's simplest games).

I don't seriously think you may sell it for a good price, and if some of your friends would be interested you probably would know it yet.

Just keep this key. Sometimes you may desire to try something other. And if you exchange this key for something other, are you sure you won't have any regret when seeing everybody being so mad about such or such of these 8 DLC which will be released within the next 2 years?

Mad about CK2 or EU4 DLCs?

I really wanted to like CKII, I tried playing it at least three times before I really got into it. While I thought it was a good game, being a player coming from an EU3/Victoria II I found it got boring fast.

I'm going to sell it for $30.

I'm going to sell it for $30.

Good luck getting anyone to buy it since even a 50% sale drops it to $20 and a 75% one drops it to $10.

Most people don't know when sales come. I bought Vicky 2 (and expansions) for $50 two days before it sold for $25 for everything.

 

[Prime624]

Do we get CKII on the 13th or the 1st of August?

Actually it might be the 1st.
