Imagine playing modern paradox games

[–] Agent_Karyo@piefed.world 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I used to be a big fan, not so much for their Grand Strategy games (I've played CK2, Victoria for about ~15 hours each and it didn't click), but because they worked with Colossal Order , the creators of Cities in Motion (upon which Cities: Skylines is based).

They really have become a European EA.

It’s ironic considering they were there to replace EA for the city building SimCity series with Cities: Skylines when SimCity 2013 utterly shit the bed.

I believe SimCity 2013 was the last EA game I played. I even pre-ordered two copies (one for myself and one for my brother).

They basically committed fraud by knowingly misrepresenting the nature of their product. The early promo videos pitched a complex non-statistical, agent-based simulation. That was of course de facto discarded and the whole game was a dysfunctional attempt at making a "live service" style multiplayer game in genre that's in many way fundamentally a single player experience.

Paradox feels marginally better than EA these days.
