Is Paradox Interactive moving towards popularization altogether?

[DanubianCossak]

Its obviously a typo, since O is right next to P XD In any case, i dont mind that at all. When i buy a game ill look at its cover 20 seconds, and if its good like some Paradox titles, spend years actually playing it. So, as far as im concerned, they can keep making typos as much as they want, as long as the games are awesome.

The guy aiming the musket like a rifle is silly. No one aims a musket like that, it's too inaccurate.

At least he isn't trying to appeal to the youth by aiming it sideways

They won't dumb them down.

They might even smart it up instead.


Generally though, I'd prefer them to do it right.

Could do with less Orange&Blue

i prefer covers with a single scene

 

[Filios]

I guess something like that would popularize it and sales would go through the roof

 

[Killzerslaul]

something like that would probably actually contrast with & stand out from other games quite strongly.

by apple?

[Filios]

Millions of people suddenly realizing that they can't live without EU?

You've never had a yearning for an iByzantium? Sleek, stylish and portable, this pocket Roman Empire will revolutionise the way we twist history into incomprehensibly mangled forms.

iByzantium? Too long. It would have to be iByz.

Idk... a guy aiming a musket sideways would definitely get my attention.

So long as EU IV is of an equal or higher quality to/than CK II then roll on further PDS games.

That's going to be hard to do as CKII has set such a high standard. It is just about a perfect game with the expansions constantly improving. EUIV will probably come in a close second.

I can still remember the day I bought Europa Universalis 11 years ago.

I was at that music/dvd/magazines/music sheets store in the suburbs of Montréal, Archambault. I was a college student without much money and I was pretty bored that day. I went on the very lackluster PC videogame section of the store. And there it was. The game with this cover on it. I was perplexed by the look of the box and I didn't know what it would end up being : a good videogame or a very bad claim at a videogame.

It ended up being pretty good, even though the first night I played it (the tutorial) I was extremely irritated. If I remember correctly, the tutorial was played out with Ireland and I couldn't get how we were supposed to get an army in a ship.

I also remember that colonization was much more efficient than what we have seen from the AI afterwards. Spain would aggressively pursue its historical conquest of South and Central America.

iByz FTW! :laugh:

This thread is much more hilarious than how it started.

Oh yeah, I still remember my first contact with EU when the game was a give-away in a Spanish games magazine... (real photo, still keep it like a jewel)
