I don't hate Microsoft for doing it, I hate the fact that they are doing it, as in the direction of the industry.

Totally understand that and I agree. Unfortunately, its just the general direction of the industry to consolidate as costs have risen.

I'm surprised its taken this long to even see this amount of consolidation. When you look at other media industries, film/tv and music, the consolidation occurred relatively quickly compared to gaming. The fact AAA game development is just jumping up in price while also being so risky is another driving force.

Europa Universalis IV

When you are a horde, swarming all over the face of the planet. This is 60 years after the startdate of the game.

I started with 3, and put 420 hours into that one. All of these countries to play over 400 years of history and I almost always choose Naples every time

I have bought it. But haven't played it yet been working nonstop, today first day off but social obligations.



I watched a little bit of my brother playing tho, and laughed my ass off at him dying constantly. Its a really challenging game.

Progress update. Still 220 years left in the game and I'm well on my way to a World Conquest and probable One Faith

Definitely the kinda game I rather watch someone else fail instead of playing it myself

Ironman?

Yeah, it's the only way I play. Never got into the modded stuff and I like using achievements as goals and benchmarks.

 

[IliveForJuve]

Can't remember the last time that I played a single player game that wasn't Skyrim or Civilization VI

The lack of challenge/competition just doesn't do it for me. Multiplayer is where it's at.

I don't consider myself good enough to do ironman most of the time . I recently bought Dharma so I'm doing a chill Bengal run now, never played in the region before.

Doesn't require any particular skill level. I think people lose a war or have some bad event happen and they thinks its game over.

The games run from 1444-1821 so there is a LOT of time to turn a campaign around. Every campaign doesn't need to be a world conquest or map painting session. Once I embraced that, Ironman opens up a lot.

The mmo? Is it any good?

I'm back to playing retail wow waiting on Elden Ring

I've had successful campaigns before don't get me wrong, but things definitely aren't as efficient as they could be. Usually in Italy I end up getting blocked from expanding due to a web of rival alliances. Its been a while though, maybe I'll try Brandenburg next and see if I can contend with expanding within the HRE.

Lack of challenge you say. Try out FromSoftware games: Sekiro, Dark Souls games, Bloodborne and now Elden Ring is out
