Is Vicky 2 worth getting into at this point? Or is it too clunky and old to get started on in 2019

Paradox knew people would go crazy about Vicky 3 when they announced that there was going to be an announcement of a new game with no other hints. They have only themselves to blame. I think what'd be coolest is Paradox trying to do some kind of out there sci-fi or fantasy setting map game, but not a totally zoomed out perspective like Stellaris is. WhiskeyWhiskers posted:Good. The revolution cannot triumph without the deliberate execution of Gamers. I mean I already know where I'd be in revolutionary executions since I wear glasses.

The good thing is that since there's been no patches in a decade, all the tutorials you can find online are still up to date. I'd check those out and see if those grab your attention before you dive in and hate it.

It's one of those "deeply flawed but also there is nothing else quite like it" sorts of games The interface is mostly fine, except the trade screen, which is inscrutable.

Fortunately the trade screen is also completely ignoreable

If Vicky 2 had some of the more modern developments like being able to see what land you’re demanding in peace deals it’d be hard to go to other games. As it is it’s just janky enough to eventually get too frustrated with it.

ilitarist posted:Serious note: Soviet gaming existed. By that time Soviets decided to stop making their own PCs and just copied IBM. Same happened with videogames. Like the most popular handheld game was a copy of this thing: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/62/45/36/624536f08e2f7e909fcd672ced7bbedb.jpg with a wolf from a Soviet cartoon but even the egg theme was still there. PC game copies were more like localized pirated games made by an enthusiast. What is that wolf called? Getting some mad vague nostalgia for the cartoon here.

The Cheshire Cat posted:With inconsistent pixel sizes. I'd say yes. It will never have the same replayability as EU IV and CK II (because there aren't as many interesting countries or different playstyles), but there are some really cool ideas in it and it's certainly enjoyable. The updates have been great as well.

The Cheshire Cat posted:With inconsistent pixel sizes. If you are a mechanics driven player it is in a decent starter shape. Where the game is lacking is in flavor and just making different governments and religions play differently. As well the character stuff doesn't work for me. It's too little to be enjoyable like ck2 but too much to entirely ignore it. Very bad middle ground.
