I’m stoked! I watched a gameplay review by someone I trust, and they were super excited, so I’m genuinely excited as well.
The one thing that worries me is they weren’t allowed to show anything after 1500 or so. This could be because the game isn’t fleshed out after that time, or that they want players to experience it themselves. I really hope it’s the latter.
Regardless, it looks like a fresh take on the EU franchise. I’m sure there will be ways to cheese the new game, but it looks like they fundamentally changes a lot of the systems that used to be abused.
I’m probably not getting it day 1, but I might get it close to release. I usually wait for the first DLC before jumping in for Paradox games, but this might be an exception.
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)
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…
Laith said that Paradox is letting him say whatever he wants
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. :)
this unironically makes me wonder if there are any games with the gameplay being just painting a wall, especially since I know there is that House Flipper game
Amazingly… this bond is almost exclusively going to be used on bug planets… since the weapons are melee focused and going melee vs bots or squids is not a great idea.
With their more recent games they have gotten less bad with their dlc, the base games seem a lot more feature rich (I could easily play stellaris, vic 3 and ck3 without feeling like I am missing parts of the game. With eu4, the dlc seem necessary). They will definitely release too much dlc, but it probably (hopefully) won’t be required like in eu4
When I meant missing parts I meant stuff I would notice missing while playing the game with no dlc. This happens a lot in eu4 and almost never in ck3. Although I might try roads to power after hearing about it!
Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up Please don’t fuck it up they’re gonna fuck it up
Although so far I haven’t heard many negative things, from journalists or youtubers. But I also didn’t hear many negative things about civ7 before launch…
It looks… Alright, I guess. Very photo real. Not super colorful. Kind’ve looks like a modern crime drama, which gives me a bad taste and feels like it’s gonna be shitty. That one scene walking out of the convince store with the beer, though, was super trashy and I could get behind that.
A thought I had while watching: gta:vc came out in 2002. It takes place in 1986. That means THAT level of nostalgia and romanticization of the period was only looking back 16 years.
16 years before 2026 would be 2010. They easily could have done another period piece with gta6 for vice City in the 90s, 00s, or 2010s. But I guess now that I think about it, things are more fucked up and insane now than they’ve been in a long time, so why not satirize what’s going on in the world today? It’s prime juicy bullshit, kind’ve like what gta3 did in 2001. So it’s fine I guess.
Maybe they’ll have good music and really good social commentary? I think then we’re entering a new era of GTA - where instead of satirizing and sensationalizing a vibe like a movie would, it’s just going to straight up do it to real life. GTA then has a lot of opportunity to reinvent itself, basically, as The Onion - The Game, based in Miami.
Will they? Likely no. It would take balls to make a game essentially shitting all over magas. Rockstar is going to have to pull off a hattrick in their writing and tone to pull this off, despite an open and for the taking goldmine that is reality, and they don’t have the cajones anymore.
I’ll see how the release does on pc and likely play it as long as they don’t monetize it past game price, and maybe future expansions. If there are periodical passes, this might be the first mainline title of theirs I’ll skip. The shark cards in gta5online, how grindy that was, the loading times, and hedging tone and neutured jokes in the single player, has them already at a very low karma standing for me. It also better release on steam.
This game will absolutely break records, regardless. This is just me from this trailer, without sound.
I think it’s interesting how much nostalgia there was for the 80s 20 years ago, compared to 00s nostalgia today. It feels like the cultural/aesthetic differences between the 80s and 00s are so much stronger than the 00s and today.
All that to say I kinda disagree on making GTA 6 a 2000s period piece
Dumbest take of all time besides when Trump speaks.
Imagine judging a a trailer with no sound and saying “it looks all right” like if it truly doesn’t look insane.
“Not super colorful” mfer you color blind??? They nailed the anesthetics of Miami. Guess you can’t see all the neon lights, and the beautiful dresses and the colors of the cars nor the weather. Yea super not colorful 🤡
And you bet your ass Rockstar is gonna lean on all these fools you think Rockstar backs down from making fun of world events? Lmao
