I don't think they ever have, but luckily their games tend to be relatively light on data, I expect ~5gb, give or take. Probably not more than 10.

hope so. slow rural rear end area is like 15-20 min per gig... an.. eternity.. :negative:

A lot of gameplay from various youtubers is going to drop tomorrow and I can't decide whether to watch it or wait to play myself. Both options are torture.

Gamepass let me preload it, but then removed the files and the option to preload. If I remember correctly, it was an 8GB download and 15GB on the disk.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

Let's be honest, I'm you're going to watch. Pick someone doing a playthrough you weren't planning on and go to town.

Has anyone seen if you can make your own dynasty at game start? So far, I've only seen historical starts.

Nope, not yet. The Ruler Designer will be a free DLC that will come out "soon" after release. You can, however, start as a historical dynasty and then split off as a custom branch.

Alright, I guess it will be cool to try out the cadet system for a while. I'm mostly interested in starting as a little unknown baron or count and slowly working up from there.

I’ve never been able to get into CKII because I was too dumb to make sure my heir was the next character I played but...

Still getting in ground floor because the LPs of CKII are always still interesting, and new games without ten million expansions yet are often easier to learn!

Yeah, I haven't played MP in ages but it really sounded just like a Not Too Serious MP game with buddies - maybe some of those buddies are a bit grating but that was the main thing that annoyed me about that video, not the costume interludes (which it really seems clear Paradox at least encouraged).

Oh well, the Serious Streamers are getting at this tomorrow so we'll stop needing to have this debate.

Not to be a dick, but that's not legislation. It's a legislative instrument which can be changed by the relevant Minister at any time provided certain conditions are met (In this case, all the states have to agree).

It also uses the word depict which specifically means images rather than descriptions (which is used in the previous paragraph).

The issue I think wrt Australia is like either things can be way too graphic (extremely unlikely) or the game spins something illegal as positive but it’s gotta be something illegal and like ... one of the things that pings their ethics code or some poo poo. Or it rewards you for it.

So like beating a hooker to death in gta to get your money back. Taking drugs in a game which then gives you a performance enhancing boost. Etc

But then you also get like hotline Miami and left 4 dead 2 banned also so who knows

I've got a feeling the issue is not that the classification board has rejected the game, because wouldn't we know the reason? It's not usually secret afaik.
It's going to be some stupid poo poo like whoever was supposed to get the game classified forgot that Australia and New Zealand existed.

The last time I remember reading about a game running into classification trouble in Australia was Fallout 3 having a morphine consumable that gave a positive effect, specifically having the drug give you a buff was considered censor-worthy

The issue wrt Australia is that Paradox's third party just hasn't submitted anything to review for classification, if it was RC'd it'd be published.

I could not possibly care less about people wearing silly costumes in preview videos and I dont understand why anyone else does. If its really so offensive why are you not just skipping to the gameplay section?

It’s a cute little marketing campaign that pays nerdy youtubers who are already enthusiasts for the game series to advertise their new game. Clearly this is the most unethical thing to be done in video gaming and advertising and you are a sheeple if you enjoyed it.

Honestly the silly videos with crowns and poo poo just aren't meant for us information starved CK2 veterans who are already going to buy it. They're meant for people who have never played a Crusader Kings game before to try to get them interested. And that requires a general overview and broad contextualization, not going into minute.
