I look forward to purchasing it in 10 years, when the game is fully patched, and I can choose which DLC I want to get.

Most of the of the DLC features in II are implemented in III's release. However, I am with Martok on this. I haven't gotten the mileage out of CK II as I should, because at the time my Older PC was (when I was a 46) had problems with some features, but that was easily tweaked in settings or in the config.ini file (?) My new machine is more than capable.

That said, a lot of my problem was and I hope to the gods they don't do this with III, is the DLC spread. They seem to have slowed their roll with HOI IV, and Imperator a bit. They really need to make sure this launch is good. Period. 

Price tag isn't bad, though. However, I am patient.  Shadow Empire is soon.

fyi: just saw it for $44.49 (pre-order) at Greenmangaming.

Personally, I'm going to give this one a pass.  I never play CKII, though I still pick up any of the occasional DLC freebies.  Maybe one day after CKXX comes out...

Just FYI for people with game pass subscription, it will be part of that so no need to purchase elsewhere if you have it...of course if you don't, then greenman does seems like the only place with a discount on the pre order so far...

I've put a ton of hours into CK2 and still don't entirely understand it.  Having said that, I watched a preview video on RPS the other day and I'm not feeling the love for a day 1 purchase.  Maybe I'm a bit jaded, kinda like Bannerlord....I need them to show me the money before I pull the trigger.  CK2 is pretty solid; I'm not sure how much more it can be pushed.

To be fair, I don't get the impression Paradox is actually trying to "push" anything with CK3.  Instead, rather, I think they're simply trying to make a better CK2 -- the same game, essentially, just more accessible easier to learn.  I realize the term "more accessible" is almost a dirty word for strategy gamers, but CK2 is already sufficiently byzantine (no pun intended) that it truly could benefit from a revamped UI and an actual decent tutorial.

Not if CK3 makes learning the game easier.

Good point.  O0

Never thought of that.

Against hesitancy and initial wariness, I pre-ordered.

That's something I rarely do these days.

Will let you know if I break something.   <:-)

Looks like a lot of high scores, at least the ones I have read...promising.

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

And comes with microsoft game pass subscription, which I think you can get for $1 the first month and then like $5 for each month after that.  They have a decent vault of games (i.e. flight sim, wastelands 3, etc.) where $5 makes it very much worth it to me.  Unfortunately, I pre ordered crusader kings before I realized it was coming to game pass so didn't help me this time, oh well.  Even without it, has been worth it for me.
