Discussion / Question What game is this for you?

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.

Stellaris. I love it, it's one of my favourite games, but the vast majority of people would find it boring and/or overwhelming.

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.
