Discussion / Question What game is this for you?

Post image

Honestly for me it's Life is Strange: True Colors. Love that game to death, an incredible story and soundtrack, but it seems like a story that just doesn't vibe well with a lot of people. Listen to the soundtrack though, absolutely increible.

Was going to say Crusader Kings for exactly the same reasons

Same but EU4. Choose life.

Really any Paradox shenanigans

Having to spend an absurd amount of time to learn a pass-time is the paradox

250hrs into eu5, just hit the point where I think I can manage to function in the game

2200 and I still learn new things. Wait until you learn about Anbennar and the Shattered Europa mods. Anbennar has taken probably 70% of my EU4 time since 2020.

No kidding. EU4 broke me, quickly. I normally like the menu-heavy style and all the interconnected systems but I just couldn’t (as of yet) break through EU4. I spent a day trying one of the tutorials and just couldn’t get invested in it enough to give it the time it deserves.

Watch a brief video and just jump in. After about 100 hours you'll have the basics down. About 400 bashing my head into Hoi4 and I feel like a baby still.

I find CK3 less daunting

That's interesting because I'm the opposite, I love stellaris but I've bounced of CK3 a couple of times

I found CK2 more impenetrable than Stellaris, but I feel like they might have made CK3 a little less daunting. Hard for me to say, because once you understood CK2 changing to 3 was easy.

I spent over a thousand hours (rookie numbers I know) playing CKII but can'tanage to get into CKIII.

The amount of money I've sunken into this game...

u/kit_kaboodles Sep 07 '26

We bought half of the DLC on sale so we can't figure out the exact price. This is my story and we never look too closely at it.

u/toolatesharkbait Sep 07 '26

Altogether, it's somewhere around 130 to 150 dollars.

I think it took until my 4th honest attempt before it finally clicked and became, I think my most-played game.
