Weekly ‘What Games Are You Playing' thread #32

Been Starfielding. Even my Cookie Clicker time has suffered. I'm consistently surprised by this game in post positive and sort of negative ways. Turns out there was a whole city I hadn't gone to on Titan. Also all the fast travel loading screens in cities like New Atlantis aren't real, it's not like Oblivion or whatever where the city is sectioned off. You can just go from one district to another and it's all there, so why so many loading screens and fast travel prioritized? Just to make it feel bigger or something? Weird decision. Also would have been nice to have a few of the non-main story companions a bit more fleshed out or let you take a few more characters from faction quests as companions.

Europa Universalis 4, and C&C Generals (modded by me).

Not much to comment on. Pretty sure I suck at EU4, but Poland is strong enough country to offset that. Tried playing Oman and got wiped out very fast.

what would you recommend for a newstrag to start out with the EU-type games? All the console slop is getting boring and I wanna expand my autism

I'm no expert I played Stellaris, EU4 and HoI 4. Stellaris is definitely the odd man, ironically it's probably the most "normal" video game out of the three.

HoI 4 is preparing for war, and war, and war, and war. Not much economy management, not much diplomacy (there is some, but limited) has much better combat than EU 4 though.

EU 4 is probably what most people think when they hear of 4x games. I feel this one is the best to start out of the three. It's still more combat heavy, with the combat not being that great I feel, but economy and diplomacy are viable to get stronger.

I would recommend looking it up yourself, because I'm just an butthole on the internet, and include Crusader Kings since I haven't played it, but I heard really good things about it.

Also, unless you fancy yourself a good person, are rich, or want multiplayer I recommend obtaining the games from alternative sources, since they are all ungodly expensive especially with the DLC, and DLC are often very much needed for a full experience.

If your autism can carry through all the managing stuff, then CK2 is probably better. You also get more interesting and personal stories in CK2.

EU4 is for you to play out your imperialist fantasies. I personally think it is easier to get familiar than CK2.

EU4 or Crusader Kings 2/3 are your best bet. I want to say that the base version of CK2 is free to play now?
