Paradox Interactive

[skynet464]

Just wanted to see how many people here play Paradox games.

[Blxz]

The only valid answers are 'Everyone' or 'Not enough'.

I love paradox games and have even contributed slightly to some of the mods. Great games.

yea well that came with EU4, i have never played that series yet. i will when i do a finished game in EU4 (554 hours logged so far ) ironman mode first.

I'd wait till the winter sale to start playing. Half the fun comes from its expansions.

Love paradox games.

They have some great games, but they always release them as an unfinished mess. They eventually get fixed, but I've learned not to buy them right on release. Maybe a year after.

I've noticed a couple of standalone mods of Hearts of Iron 2 on steam - anyone played them? I was a little disappointed with Hearts of Iron 3, and was wondering if I should try those.

If you like Paradox games you might like Dominions 3 - slick little indie game from Sweden.

I just had the first, i did not play it that much because at the time i as young and did not understood that much, just on a later date i tried again and was better but still not perfect, still enjoyed it, i did not saw any trailer or gameplay from the second or third, but seemed the same to me just improved graphics, or am i wrong?

And this answers the question, i knew i had around a game from them just didn´t knew which xD, i might actually give it a try now that i am a lot better with English and more patient to this types of games, found it actually a couple of days ago piled with some old junk i was looking.

[Danzigsam]

Yes, the graphics do get better. Not that I care much about graphics for this type of game.

There's probably a Portuguese language option. They're a European (Swedish) company and they think about that sort of thing.

Just realized, almost all the games on my desktop are from Sweden - Minecraft, Dominions 3, several Paradox titles.

Now for me makes no difference, English portuguese or even German (well not fully), but i had it when i was not so fluent, and back then only had English, still was funny to mess around the globe, i got us so many times mad at me without touching them..., so is true that major difference from the first to second is graphical alone?

What was your last Paradox game? Because since CK2, they've done a pretty good job at fixing that.

Get Darkest Hour. Kaiserreich is best reich.

[Danzigsam]

I'm still playing Hearts of Iron 2 and Europa Universalis 3. They also chop the games up now and sell little bits of it separately on steam - "sprite packs" and such. So I'm also waiting for them to gather 'em all up and sell the complete game as a package. I'm patient and don't have much time to play anyway.

What're the main differences in Darkest Hour?

[skynet464]

It's pretty much HoI 2, but with a new map, better diplomacy, and smarter ai. Plus, one of the best HoI mods is for DH. (Kaiserreich)
