Europa Universalis V

Better spend your time elsewhere

정복이 장점인 시리즈였는데 장점을 사라지게 패치함 지금은 좀 괜찮아졌는데 버그도 짜침 왜 굳이 게임을 플레이하는데 힘들게 패치하는지 모르겠음 지금 이게 겜 초기보단 좀 나아졌다는게 참.... 그리고 전작의 미션 시스템 없애고 이벤트 시스템으로 대체했다는데 장점이 먼지 잘 모르겠음 역사적 재현을 좋아하고 솔플위주 유저로서 그냥 강력한 보상이 있는 미션시스템이 있었음 좋겠음 전작도 dlc 여러개 나오고나서야 겜 됐다는데 이 짓을 다음작품에서도 하려는게 참 한심합니다 ++시간이 지날수록 게임 피로도가 너무 높아짐

can't care to write a review for slop.

I really really want to like this game, but sadly at this moment it feels like slop. The UI is absolute garbage, compare that to a game like vic 3 or eu 4, where the UI is just so elegant and pleasant to look at. Instead in EU V you are BOMBARDED with tons of pop ups (most of them being irrelevant). VIC 3 had the same problem but they turned it around, so maybe there is hope? I like deep and complex mechanics when, but currently they all feel really unpolished and generic. The idea of minmaxing every building is completely ahistorical and illogical. Trade in my opinion should be more organic, like in Vic 3, where you don't have to set up every trade route by yourself (there were merchants for some reason right???). Warfare is typical PDX fashion so i'll not complain as much but it's also not great past 1500s. Overall the feeling i get with EU5 is not great. Currently the game is really overwhelming, but not in the great sens of overwhelming, where you feel like you can learn it... Instead it feels like you're being spammed with useless information all the time, and you have to filter out what is important. And when you filter out what is important you are basically left with clicking a single button every now and then to upgrade or build a building. Also don't even get me started with translation. I know that it's not the most important thing for the game but for god's sake WHY EVEN ENABLE IT WHEN IT'S JUST COMPLETE AND UTTER AI SLOP?!?! I would be very happy to change this review to positive once the game is FINISHED.

Alpha build Grade-A Premium garbage If you want this game to have any kind of consistency, fun, or immersion you need to enable the debug mode so you can fix all of the shortcomings the incompetent developers will never be able to fix themselves. Can't disinherit a useless heir? Kill him with console commands. Load up a game and all of a sudden your positive income has gone negative for no apparent reason? Console commands to reverse the debt you should never have had. Need a royal marriage but either your or the target country's heir is inexplicably a courtier in a foreign court? ♥♥♥♥ you then. That person isn't a member of the Kyiv royal family anymore apparently, they're in Smolensk now. Want the content that should have been launched with the game (Italian Wars, Guelphs v Ghibbs, Brandenburg Decline, Rise of Ottomans, Byzantine/Rise of Phoenix), that should have worked from the very beginning, but is now not only behind a paywall but also is on the 'experimental' (cough*SUCKER*) branch? ♥♥♥♥ you yet again. I know Paradox is a greedy blood-sucking parasite, but if I wanted to be a beta tester (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ generous since this ♥♥♥♥ is alpha), I would apply for a paid position, not pay money to be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ test monkey. tldr; I have spent an equal amount of time having to save-scum, console command, and artificially ♥♥♥♥ my way out of this game's ♥♥♥♥♥♥ limitations as I have actually playing the game. Wait a good year/decade before this game is 'finished'

游戏挺好玩的，就是玩起来非常卡，关键是我的配置可不低啊。Good game, however, very laggy...

Wait until more content outside of Europe/Mediterranean comes out.

Its meh. Game's 8 months old and is pretty much in the same sorry state that it was on release. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt to fix the game post-release, since the core mechanics are actually genuinely really good, but my patience has run out. I suspect something changed in the development team (actual experienced developers either moved on to other games, or moved on from Paradox), or theres perhaps some kind of a weird public company shareholder-incentives involved, but this game is not really getting better. At best it's 1 step forward, 2 steps back, while the glaring issues remain untouched. Also how is that still possible that 8 months later whole saves are still getting borked by crashes? Could they not fable their code or something?

Am not impressed due to the following issue. The Hague, Den Haag, des Gravenshage (real name) is not and has never been the Capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam always has been. This has been a thorn in my eye since EU IV, yet still no one bothered to change it for V, pretty poor and unbelievable too if you ask me, how on Earth is this still not fixed!!! The Hague was created as a seat of Government, which comes from the tradition of that location being a spot for garherings of various factions. Overtime this Hague grew out to be a city holding the seat of Government (yet, not as a Country Capital city) So, one more time Paradox, the Hague, seat of Government, Amsterdam, CAPITAL City! Holland exists of two parts (created in 1840), North and South, the Capital of the Southern part is the Hague, yet the capital of the North is Haarlem. However, the Capital city of the Netherlands (as now) is Amsterdam and has been since 1808, we did not really have a Capital before that. The capital of the Netherlands has been Amsterdam since 1808. Previously, the Netherlands had no official capital It was not until 1983 that Amsterdam's status as capital was enshrined in the Constitution . The capital of a country is usually the city where the parliament is located and the head of state lives. The Netherlands is one of the rare exceptions to this. Anyway, game looks great!

I think Paradox is really only surviving because they have a near-monopoly over grand strategy games. The core of the game is fine. It's just good enough for me to try and make it work. All of the elements of a fantastic game exist. But it's so hard to justify playing eu5 when eu4 exists. This game simply isn't as good, and it was released long before it had any chance to compete. There's a lot of friction between the game as a "game" and the game as a simulation of history. There's a lot of friction in the UI, with things being buried behind multiple menus. Things that eu4 puts front and center. I hope it gets there one day.
