I keep trying to get into Vicky 2 but I always bounce off it, seems infinitely more fun than Vicky 3 at least.
Trust me, when people give Vicky 3 flak as a direct downgrade of Vicky 2 they mean it. Too many Paraodox dickriders try to convince themselves into believeing they aren't meant to be the same game, but they are.
That's all there is to it really.
My main issue with Vic3 is the war system. I don’t really care about the whole “le playing army man” and I always felt like the combat fell apart when the Great Wars started and it couldn’t really emulate World War I, but the alternative in Vic3 is so much worse. The front system makes no sense for 75% of the game’s timeframe when the name of the game was mobile standing armies moving to fight each other (in the case of conventional peer conflict) and punitive expeditions being launched by nimble expeditionary forces.
I went ahead and decided to bite the bullet and play it. Turns out it seems more like he personally ripped the animations from the FNAF games directly and and tied them to the time to such an extent you have to complete the whole day/tick before the animation stops although the animatronic scream sound effect only lasts for the actual clip they use in the FNAF games.
The most based thing about Vicky 2 is that in terms of what you can do with a fascist government it is objectively the best since pretty much every reform and economy type is open for you. Shame it is locked until so late into the game.
They have TVTropes pages becase TNO had one which they made it into their defacto wiki.
Yep, pretty much.
I haven't played it in years but the impression I get from the community is that everything either has been or is planned to be retconned with the entire premise and setting essentially being on the chopping block. Kaierreich (despite my criticism) is still recognizable on some level with the American Civil War and other major story beats remaining since DH and Sternberg is still around at least. It still has a lot of its original DNA, as opposed to going through the equivalent of a cultural revolution.
KX is if anything more relevant than the existence of less popular mods like TNO and Red Flood with regards to how detractors feel since it's the only case where a community fork has become one of the most popular mods out there. Really says something about the robustness and size of the KR community as a whole.
They keep changing the timeline every release and have no real vision because they're stuck trying to create a perfect world in a fucking WW2 game, the OG "all the Russias" was pretty minimal with the historical butterflies since it was just a light flip of Fascist Russia vs Monarchist Germoney vs isolationist America, in this iteration leftoids were utterly irrelevant because fuck you L*nin, Syndicalism was pulled out of the dustbin of history to grid-fill the ideological hole which had the unfortunate consequence of attracting real communism appreciators.
If they eventually add the East Coast I think it'd be funny af to have Nate be a canonical war criminal like Emil suggested. Would be the best worldbuilding for F4 by far.
The only problem with Vicky 2 I had is the broken saves, the economy crashing when you reload a save, and possibly causing the game to crash.
Agreed, they also block every reform if they are in the opposition. When I try to use fascism to fix my country's economy, the middle/lower class fucks keep clamoring for representation for no reason. This is especially the economic/capitalist AI that builds factory in the game is retarded. I just want the state to build non-retarded factory choices, and I'll do it manually if I have to.
They are trying so hard to convert it into its own IP. But the problem is that with every new update a little bit of the old KR DNA gets removed and something new, boring, gay and what is clearly is some tranny "writer" fantasy (the most recent China update were pretty much every path for almost all Chinese warlords is a variation of syndicalism) gets added.
The 'Chummy Commies' trope and its consequences.
It will never not be funny to me that so many of the KR retards talk about syndicalism as if it were a good thing. You can tell that not a one of them has actually been in a union, nor have they been around many of the blue-collar laborers that make up the body of Union membership.
There's "literally" a six-month gap between the latest picture and the one posted before that. Oldest of those pictures are at least three years old.
