Europa Universalis V

Currently unplayable. Country starts in massive deficits and subjects revolt immediately. I started with France and less than a year all subjects revolt for 100k manpower while I have like 17k. I went from 403 hours to 0.8 in the last two weeks.

Do not buy the game! The developer was too ambitious with this project. I gave them the obligatory 6 months after release to see how the developer will fix any problems with the game and what kind of updates we could expect. What i saw was desperation. Too many early updates that changed too much to a point where we cant even trust the developers vision of what the game should be. That was followed by slower and bigger updates which regularly broke the game. After around 8 months now, we are currently in a beta version where: 1. Subjects are completely pointless because they got nerfed to the ground after they were meta defining for every version before. 2. Disease broke the game, then diseases broke to not do much anymore and now its maybe 50/50 if anything works correctly. 3. Expansion is so bad that you shouldnt even do it in the first 200 years of a campaign because it simply takes too long to make the newly acquired provinces profitable. 4. Since expansion is not really viable you are just sitting there trying to slowly build up an economy, which is not great at all because the foundation of the game is based on expansion and economy should be supporting that expansion. 5. Sooo much more... and it simply doesnt look like anything is getting fixed because the developer is apparently stuck in a self-made developer cycle where important updates for gamebreaking stuff is dealt with in the next version because right now their development plan says that new mechanics should be worked on, which usually make the game even a little worse because they dont work correctly and dont give anything substantial for the enjoyment of the player. Its bad. Its really bad and its not a situation where i can say that its going to be fixed in a couple months or even a year. The game is just fundamentally broken and they simply built more and more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on this fundament until it eventually cracks.

КАЖДЫЙ. ГРЁБАННЫЙ. ПАТЧ. РЕВОРКАЮТ ЕБУЧУЮ ЭКОНОМИКУ. Это просто уже невозможно, что не патч, то ♥♥♥♥♥♥, сидишь лутаешь бабосики на +700 голдишки и в ♥♥♥ не дуешь, а потом хуяк обнова и теперь ты супер нищий, который не сможет даже булку хлеба купить. У игры много проблем и вместо того, чтобы их решать разрабы ещё и добавляют штук 10 проблем на 1 решённую. 1000 нищих бомжей из 5

Просто положительный коммент, игра может и заслуживает какой-то хейт, но я против смешанных отзывов. Я хочу чтобы они развивали эту игру еще 10 лет

Here is my new rule: I am not buying another Paradox title unless it is reviewed Overwhelmingly Positive. Make them actually earn their money for once.

Dieses Spiel nimmt eine ganz komische Richtung mit den bisherigen Patches wurden einige Probleme in Angriff genommen, aber dabei haben sich andere Probleme einfach verstärkt. Die Ai ist als Bündnispartner selbst bei einer numerischen Überlegenheit von 1:50 sowie besserer Technologiestufe heillos überfordert und rennt durchgehend 0 Moral Stacks (trotz keinem Fog of War) in den Fleischwolf und bricht jede Besetzung einen Tag vor dem Erfolg ab, wodurch der Kriegspunktestand quasi in jedem Krieg einen festen -50% Modifikator und einen dauerhaft hohen Kriegseifer beim Gegner hat. Dadurch ist es einfach unmöglich manche essentielle Kriege wo man von Verbündeten abhängig ist (wie Befreiungskriege) als Vassal zu gewinnen.

Славься Йохан, воистину Йохан, слава богу Йохану и всем 33 менеджерам которых взяли потому что они брат двоюродного брата друга Йохана или откуда там эти забирающие 80 процентов прибыли от 4к рублей которые стоит эта игра.

After the tenth patch where things are completely different than they were just a patch ago AND it broke things that were previously working, I can't in good faith recommend anyone new buy this. Especially when there's a perfectly fine game that actually works in EU4.

After the latest update, I can't even start a new game. The game crashes every time, and all I can do is send reports (I don't even know if they're needed; I don't think anyone processes them).

Paradox has has to stop their unethical practice of selling barely working, unfinished "products" at full price and then charge their customers even more for "patching" them with DLC's. Recently it seems that even their DLC's cant bring their games around. After let-downs of VIC3, CS2 and now EU5, no more Paradox.
