How wa this the holy cow of Paradox?
You can't do shit except closing the smae and constant annoying letters and see the time past.
Play something more your style then, like the sims or some mobile game you adhd zoomer homosexual
>waste hundreds of dollars in a boring bugged game and awful dlcs
>can't look to himself in the mirror because the shame
>acuse others of being homosexuals because projection
Cuck-soomer gay, you are the moron here.
>spending money on paradox games
lmao, not only are you moronic but also don't know how to pirate like most zoomers
Use mods, make your own goals. It's that simple.
CK2 is Paradox at their best, OP (even with the bazillion DLCs)
you got filtered HARD
still the most intriguing and replayable game PDX ever made, the sheer amount of content in the vanilla game alone is staggering, never mind adding mods.
Honestly, I think Eu4 is Paradox at their best.
play ck3, its miles better
>miles better
I'd disagree, at least for now - it probably will be at the end of its life, but for the moment I'd still give CK2 the edge.
I don't know how you can know how to play ck2 and make the switch to ck3. Takes like a 100 hours to even have grasp how the game works, 3 feels different enough where you have to relearn. There's an autistic amount of pop ups in 3 that interrupts trying to do shit at faster speeds
3 is a bland soulless imitation of 2
Only Germanic pagan is fun. Sailing around, looting holdings, sacrificing rulers, raping noblewomen, and spending buckets of ill-gotten gold on frivolities is objectively the best way to play the game. I'm not even a norseboo, I just think the rest of the playstyles in the game need to step up.
You can't kill in first/third person like in Skyrim or M&B, you can't command in a battle map like in Total War.
Why even play??
>you can't command in a battle map like in Total War
Paradox games are fundamentally not meant to be played for their battle simulations like Total War, they're meant for alt history autists to have a game where painting the map is the main attraction, and all the tourists that Paradox has attracted with CK2 over the past decade never understood this. A similar argument would be to ask why Total War's map doesn't have the province density of a Paradox game since that kind of map is way better for autistic blobbing than the huge provinces most Total War games have (or had at the time of CK2's release, some of the new games come close, or at least the mods do, and it's arguable whether such a high province density works well in Total War but still).
Wait until PDX does a map painting simulator with TW battles or CA does a TW with realm magament autistic mechanics.
Being a crusader king, too, is actually quite fun, as long as you actually swap to the newly created kingdom after the crusade ends. Going on a great journey to foreign lands at the forefront of absolutely gigantic armies and engaging in titanic battles. Once you win, you're in a new state in hostile territory, and it becomes a race to consolidate your gains and convert your new territory before the heathens can regather their strength and throw you back into the sea. Having holy orders settle the frontier and directing later crusades to crush your strongest opponents gives you the tools to survive, but it can be a very close-run thing.
One of my wackiest playtroughs was starting as Portugal, joining the Crusade to make money and piety for a Reconquista war, gaining the Kingdom of Egypt for my bastard daughter somehow, switching to Crusader Egypt, inheriting France a couple of characters in by forcing my wife's claim, and ruling the unholy abomination that was the United Kingdom of Egypt and France, trying to keep both of them united despite being way over vassal limit
>engaging in titanic battles
2 dudes giving each other boinks it's not a titanic battle.
its a narrative story teller generator.
its was hyped solely by greentext stories on Ganker.
anons hyped the guild 2 on sa before ck2
>narrative stroy teller generator
>stories appears every 50 years in game
>only last few weeks
>between those weeks you still feel bored until next letter appears
>when the story is finished, nothing changes, you get OP greentext again
CK2 should unironically fully embraced its text-based RPG potential instead of just having little quests that since the China update got fricked up to the oblivion.
Just cheat and larp in your head
>>you can't do nothing
Yeah you can.
Do you mean you 'can't do anything?' or 'you can do nothing?'
Even that's dumb.
Even outside of war, you can plot, seduce, carouse, there's pretty often changes you need to adapt to,
Just speed until the next important part.
You have to roleplay, it's a sandbox game.
I play sandbox games and I enjoy them, but CK2 is just boring.
Why are you playing on 4x speed?
When playing any sort of GSG (Crusader kings 2/3 especially) you should go as slow as possible so that you can take actions, schemes, roleplay, look at the characters/realms around you etc etc.
You miss out on all the actual gameplay if you just skip time.
Its only when you are really experienced should you being bumping the speed up
>Why are you playing on 4x speed?
Because is boring, I speed it up so something happens and my armies finally move to the target.
I learned that this is actually treated as a TV soap opera by autists who think you can roleplay in the game.
They dont seem to notice that you already know everything that happens after like 5hour of playtime.
What do you mean exactly?
>plus +5 minutes load to the campaign
>plus 1 fps despite, no matter if you're in full speed
>plus 6000 dynasty members, 2k of them alive and being full morons / losers
If CK2 is boring, the endgame is just a total shitshow.
It took me many hours of forcing myself to play this game until I finally clicked with it, and many more hundreds of hours to have a more than average grasp of the mechanics. Even after 1000 hours, I would still find new things I didn't know about.
