name a bigger dissapointment

its getting better though

Literally no one was disappointed by Victoria 3.

You either knew it was going to be shit and then when it came out and was shit that didn't disappoint you OR you were a shit eating redditor spamming "vicky 3 when?" and then you diligently ate your slop when it came out because you are completely devoid of critical thinking skills.

Me.

If you are disappointed with Vicky 3, it by default means you were expecting anything else than a shitshow.
So you only have yourself to blame. Nobody sane was expecting anything else than a half-baked game, especially given the dev diaries.

Stellaris when they took away the different FTLs
Stellaris when they changed how planets work for the third time
Stellaris

>>2094965
i thought it was going to be good based off the early dev diaries and then that qa build leaked and it was irredeemable

why do
solo dev passion projects
have more depth and content than victoria 3
They spend all their efforts on history/believable nonsense for role players than making a real game

>>2095101
The historic simulation is the best part of these games. If I wanted depth I'd play AOE3 PvP.

CK3

>>2094994
This.

>>2095107
i want hardcore pvp
in a victoria game
not some gay ass roleplaying stuff where any great power can dismantle qing in 1836

>>2095126
play Vicky 2 then

>>2095126
>Durrr I want a game to be a completely different game
Not going to happen. You already have thousands of games catering to low IQ retards, no need for another one

I only started playing in 1.8 so maybe I missed the worst part, but I am not disappointed by Victoria 3. CK3 is incomparably worse.

>>2094991
i didn't expect anything good and was still disappointed

>>2094965
I hate how correct you are

>>2094994
>>2094991
>>2094965
This.
Stellaris had promise, no one was dissapointed by V3 - anyone with brain knew it was going to be redditor commie propaganda slop.

>>2095206
this. the game is getting better

>>2095261
I wish Vi3's problem was merely not being edgy enough for you, anon. I seriously wish that was the biggest problem, because that's easy moddable.
Try to unfuck the population system or how broken trade is. Good luck with that.

>>2094965
It amazes that there are still retards who buy Paradox games in their release day

>>2095206
>Functional game in incomparably worse than a dysfunctional mess

>>2095271
Don't you know that zoomers are the perfect cosumers? They will buy ANYTHING at ANY price, as long you tell them to - and your marketing doesn't even have to be subtle. Extra points if you promise them that they will owe [insert group your target demo hates] by buying your product.

Give it three to four years and vic 3 will finally be a good game
.....
;-;

>>2095270
One problem stems from the other.

>>2095264
Yeah it is now a solid turd instead of diarrhea.

>>2094962 (OP)
Stellaris is continuously the biggest disappointment ever made by PDX.
Imperator is a close second.
Vicky 3? Nobody even hoped it's going to be good, people openly prepared for a clusterfuck.

>>2095270
>broken trade
Not realy? Not after last update. You can make economy heavily dependent on exports and/or imports.

The big issue I had with it was that I have to spend like 95% of my time manually managing production and constantly re-evaluating my trade routes even with full laissez faire policies. And it was a bit buggy even 2 years after release when I first pirated it. Also ran like shit and sometimes made my 4070TIS scream with buggy map icons. But the political stuff was actually fun and didn't seem particularly woke to me. I even felt pushed to religious fascism as the smoothest and most stable form of government.

It also sucked that they listened to the crying retarded map painters and added army micromanagement again.

Stellaris and HOI4 are much bigger disappointments though.

>>2095423
give it more time. pls understand

>>2095264
two more dlcs

>>2095790
you joke but thats usually how these things go

>>2095797
Name one shit game that was fixed with two DLC.

>>2095824
>fixed
anon the original comment was about game getting better, not it getting fixed though

>>2095827
The end goal is not it "getting better", it's it being fixed. A punch in the face is better than a kick in the balls, but neither are desirable.

>>2095834
well give it more time. Certainly it will be fixed after 3 to 4 years.
right....

>>2094962 (OP)
It must have taken an inhuman amount of restrait to make that man on the cover only the most swarthy Mediterranean imaginable and not a full-on West-African Black-skin.

>>2095166
>>2095161
i want the game to be completely the same but on a balanced symmetrical map with a UI designed for full gamespeed play

>>2094962 (OP)
>dissapointment
ESL or Mutt?

>>2094962 (OP)
The reason why Victoria III was disappointing for many is because it was marketed as a Victoria II sequel despite playing entirely differently. If it was marketed differently, like as a first installment of its own franchise instead of being a sequel, the entire V2 vs V3 debate wouldn't have happened.

>>2094962 (OP)
PDX or in general?
>PDX
Stellaris, no contest
>In general
Ho boy... just from recent times, we've got Meme Lords, Terra Invicta and Last Train Home (do you even REMEMBER this one?)

>>2096771
>t. zoomer too young to remember the Beyond Earth debacle
Yeah... no, it's not working, zoomie

>>2094965
Save yourselves the trouble of reading thru the thread. This sums it up perfectly.

>>2094962 (OP)
Company of Heroes 3
Homeworld 3

>>2094962 (OP)

>>2096949
>Beyond Earth
>debacle
Ehh... I honestly didn't expect Alpha Centauri sequel.

>>2094965
I just deferred judgement until I had more verifiable information from sources I trusted. Once again, that approach simply did not fail.

>>2094965
Holy spbp.

>>2094962 (OP)
>NOOOOO black people and women in my autistic map painting game?
>Then its BAD
/vst/ everyone

>>2094994
the different ftls made the game less fun and i'm tired of pretending otherwise

>>2098374
There is "I wasn't expecting SMAC 2" and then there is "Jesus fuck, what a piece of shit this is" when it comes to BE. It was such a monumentally bad game, I'm still confused why they even bothered. It's clear they didn't care, but why even bother making it?

>>2098481
More like standard /gsg/ bullshit.
I miss times when them being bunch of incoherent manchildren and incels was a joke and not an identity.

>>2098539
Here, grab it, you seem to be starved for those

>>2098590
thanks but it's true. lanes allow for more strategic planning and fleet maneuvers. also fortress worlds.

why does african tribes have the same war/diplomacy mechanics that european countries do
