Was it Laith's video? I just finished watching it and he said that it will be a great game if they fix all the bugs. Asking paradox to release a game that isn't buggy is pretty scary. But it does look like an amazing game and not just a stripped down version of the game that came before it (like vic 2/3 and ck 2/3)
Florry worry.
Laith was in the announcement video, so I wanted another perspective. In typical florryworry fashion, he looked at it from the perspective of min/maxing, and he was pretty excited about the variety of options available.
That's fair. Although Laith said that Paradox is letting him say whatever he wants, if I got invited to help announce the sequel to one of my favourite games I would be a bit biased. With every video I watched I audibly said wow at least once. I did not expect that many features and depth from a paradox game at release! Makes me wonder what they have left out to sell in DLC. Also makes me worry about how much time developing those features took away from bug fixing...
Sure, but he also has pretty close ties to Paradox since he has hosted various tournaments and whatnot for them, so he doesn't want to ruin that by saying something bad about the game.
There's a bit of that w/ Florry too, but I think he is more likely to go deep into the mechanics and find issues. And he did point out a few issues.
But yeah, I'm sure his take was awesome too, and I'll probably end up watching it too. Everything I've seen from blog posts to Florry's review has made me super excited. Most of the things I dislike about EU4 are getting fixed (e.g. it uses all cores!!), and there's new stuff to play with. I'm super stoked about the whole pop idea, and I think it'll be really fun in an EUV context.
So yeah, here's hoping that the release is solid and comes soon-ish. Since they've already given pre-release access to streamers, it shouldn't be too long now. Hopefully early this summer. :)
They did say 2025 somewhere! I'll see if I can find it!
On their landing page, they have a series of dates for more teaser releases:
I'm guessing we see a release sometime in late June or July, otherwise all the hype building seems a bit... premature.
