https://www.pcgamer.com/new-europa-universalis-4-dlc-has-the-lowest-user-rating-of-anything-on-steam/Worst reviewed (DLC/Game) on steam! 8% negative as of this post! WOOOOO! NEW STEAM WORLD RECORD. Leviathan for EU4 is the best world record, now what next game will beat that record of greatest reviewed game of all time on steam?
Sorry for the half-troll half haha joke thread at the start of the opening. I never been so angry at a game, they wrecked my laptop ...sure it was old, but cost a little over 1k dollars about 7 years ago dont remember exactly when I got it but beside the point. And I'm about to be literally homeless, I could have gotten maybe 100 dollars for that laptop. So I'm freakin pissed. Eviction is imminent. So not only did I lose a 1k (but old) laptop, I lose 100 dollars too I could have probably gotten that would have been massive to find a new place to live or a future....anyway onto the more serious part of this thread relating to how broken this game is
Tried playing leviathan, suddenly my tracking software saw my CPU spike to 110% (wtf? How does it even go past 100? Granted might been a visual glitch in the software but never seen that before with it, either way even if not it still hit 100% at least), GPU spiked to 100%, my ram usage spiked to 100%) and my entire laptop suddenly made such a loud whining sound that it woke up my parents, and then it made a massive loud BEEEEEEEP and then...well...bye bye laptop. The game is so broken that I was going to quit anyway, but guess was too late.
I guess thats what you get for putting a person in charge who own(ed?) an online gambling business. Seen that before in another company actually but they seem to have gotten off better, daybreak games got bought by a russian investment company that had nothing to do with games at all and are well known to buy and sell at a quick of a dime, usually screwing the company from within. Kinda same thing, but not gambling in that case but same situation. Though at least they seem to treat daybreak better than their usual investments with planetside 2, dunno about the other MMOs they have though.
I'll give paradox the benefit that they lost their office due to covid, its also covid and they also had to relocate. However. I don't give them the benefit of releasing it in a state that breaks peoples pcs/laptops (I know my laptop was old, really old, but EU4 always worked on it), and even if not, one of the most broken patches I've personally ever seen in a game. And literally a lot are sure that this was not playtested what so ever, as things so obviously broken should have been clearly seen in even 1 hour of playtesting.
No matter the cause, one shouldn't release a patch/dlc that is literally unfinished. Unfinished assets, broken features, broken game, break people PC. Literal artwork that isnt finished and "PLACEHOLDER" text and what not.
This thread should show any devs that see this thread to not release a game/patch/dlc so broken....or...maybe you want to set a world record of worst release patch! I guess win either way?
Btw, if this is the state of the company, I hope they do NOT make victoria 3. Imagine how broken it will be...I'd rather just everyone keep playing victoria 2 and keep making better mods for it
