Runs like dogwater apparently. Recommended specs are higher than 80% of Steam gamer PCs. Also, it's missing a ton of features from CS1's DLCs, which people were hoping for (this is all just what I read, haven't played it).

A sequel missing features from DLC? In a Paradox game? And it sucks shit at launch? I'm going to need some time to process this... Please give me space to heal while I come to terms with it

Absolutely beyond wild. But like, they put a 2 on this one. You're telling me this is exactly like EU4 and CK3 and HoI4 and Vicky 3? Insane.

At least Stellaris 2 won't let me down.

Stellaris in particular was a absolutely wild release even by Paradox standards. They were reworking core features up until fairly recently, after it had been out for years. It's essentially a completely different game than it was at launch lol. It also had completely dogshit performance for years and years.

this has actually kept me coming back lol. every time I fire it up it feels new

CK3 at least felt like a big step up from CK2. It ran well, and had some actually interesting new features in hooks and lifepaths (or whatever they were called).

This is like 95% of all new release games on computer.

This is like 95% of Paradox Interactive's business model.

I don't know what the freeze-gamers expect.

the performance is egregious, I've read

like you can't hit 30 fps on medium settings with a 4060 @ 1080p

[–] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it just a gfx bottleneck or CPU? In CS1 I was hitting CPU limits sooner than gfx limits albeit with an old i5 processor

[–] regul@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

sounds like the CPU side isn't great, but the main bottleneck is the gpu

[–] envis10n@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

I'm struggling to maintain 50 fps @ 1080p on a Ryzen 5900X and an RTX 2080 super, running at medium

Yep, yet another case of [current year] gaming. freeze-gamer s will never learn.

Like, it's better in every way to wait at least 6 months for games. Cheaper, better optimized, more features, decent guides online if you get stuck... the day-one buy is just not worth it.
