Europa Universalis V

This game is unplayable if you're coming from EU4. They've taken the fun out of any sort of millitary campaign for some hippie population mechanics that make no sense. It takes decades to integrate provinces in a game where time moves arguably slower than in EU 4. Playing in India is awful and not historically accurate. The kingdoms all feel the same and they're waiting to loot us in a DLC for any historical flavour. They have a Fall of Delhi event which lets you take advantage of an imploding empire but guess what ? If you play as Dhundhar or Mewar for example and take back even just your own provinces, you have to integrate / core them again. That takes decades for EACH province. Say you take 5 provinces, a modest tidy little war in EU4, you're dead. You'll spend the next 30 years weeping while watching your estates become disloyal, your economy tank, stability tank, revolts every year or so and no way out except INTEGRATION !! Which takes upto......50 f****** years ! Why have militaries and wars at all ? Don't have it. We'll play a city builder and wear little daisies in our hair instead. I am telling my group of 8 intense EU4 gamers not to buy this trash. Paradox is treating its player base like the peasants in the game. Keep showing up when there's trouble, have a terrible time of life, weep through it all and pay through your nose for a game nerfed based on ideologies nobody told you they were pushing.

UI一坨，数值一坨，一个不可能模拟出来真实历史的历史模拟游戏，一个数值调整只会位移小数点的制作组，一个狂妄到自认为大战略游戏第一人的游戏制作人，最后结果就是活跃人数甚至不如前作，怎么不直接把报表上的游玩人数小数点后移两位？

The game is bugged since the release date. Paradox is more interested in adding content than fixing bugs. I played nearly 650h now. Every campaign reached a point (usually quite early) where it becomes unplayable because of some broken mechanics. The game was unplayable and still is now. Launching a game in this state is a disgrace and shows how bad paradox really cares for their client.

After announcing that a feature that was supposed to be coming soon is now coming late 2027, I'm just fed up. Releasing this game as a full price "finished" game was a crime. This is an early access title that will not be fully developed for years.

Johans vision for this game forgot one critical element: Making it actually fun to play, and somehow it gets worse with every patch, most recently the pop growth/disease balancing nightmare but many other extremely questionable decisions that in the end just make the game less fun, maybe in a few years with masive overhauls to many of this games core systems it can surpass eu4, but for now Id avoid this game, who knows if they'll pull another imperator or not.

This is a game that fundamentally does not respect your time. I am saying this as someone who has over a 1000 hours in EU4, Vic3, CK3, and CK2 each (so 5k total). All grand strategy games will naturally have slower sections, but this game takes ages to complete even the most basic tasks. I have waited 15-30 minutes for my first buildings to complete. I play all other Paradox games on max speed without issue, though usually need to tick those down to 4 speed, so I can process events. There is nothing in this game that you'd want to run at less than maximum speed,except for troop movement. I've only played one game into 1500s, and that was a slog. Adding an extra 100 years of gameplay to the game has made this issue even worse, as you need to sit around and wait 100 years for the game mechanics to come online. I just don't see any reason to play this game over EU4, when I can complete and entire megacampaign in the other games in the same time it'd take me to finish one single campaign of this game. If they compress down the timeline, or speed up the gameplay flow then I might try coming back to this in the future. Just play Victoria 3 or EU4 instead.

Don't buy this if you don't have good enough CPU or RAM, although I don't think that matters much since: THIS GAME CRASHED FREQUENTLY WHEN CLICKING NEW GAME EVEN WHEN NO MODS ARE LOADED! I don't want to gamble if my PC will crash and need restart every time I have to start or load a game! FIX IT! At first I had hope since the dev updated it frequently a month after release date, but then they only focus on features, "balances", and didn't fixed the crashing issues at all... Some of the updates were sometimes so flip-floppy that it changed the feel of the game (They turned it down but still not that sandboxy as EU4)

yani, tahminim 3 yıla elimize mantıklı bir şey geçmesi yönündeydi, o şekil olacak gibi, toplu bir linç var oyuna, sanki paradoxu hiç tanımadılar, paradox oyunlarını yavaş yavaş pişirmeyi sever, 2013 te eu4 ü kaç kişi biliyordu, oynamayı geçtim. yani bu kadar sabırsız olunacaksa başka oyunlara bakın arkadaşım, bu oyun sabırsızların oyunu değil, az sabır, başka oyunları yıllarca erken erişimde tutuyorlar onlara bir problem yok da paradoxa niye bu kadar yükleniyorsunuz, tamam kabul biraz reklamı ağır yaptılar, o da normal yani koca firma atar reklamını. asıl kritik atılacak yer bence oyunun nasıl gelişeceği hususunda, şu anki oyunun eksik olduğunu zaten paradox da gayet iyi biliyor, DLC ler nası olacak, fiyatının hakkını verecek mi, topluluğun aktivitesi de önem arzediyor, yani modlamanın imkan verdiği sınırlarda DLC görmek hoş olmaz herhalde. yeni ve çeşitli mekaniklerin oyuna geleceğini tahmin ediyorum, oyunun ana temelleriyle alakalı benim gördüğüm tek sorun oyunun neredeyse tamamiyle nüfus üzerinden değişkenleştirilmesi, bu da tarihi akışı çok bozuyor, for ex. Memluklar, gereksiz güçlü ve uzun ömürlü, hükümdarların etkisini daha da artırarak belki bunu çözebilirler
