Companies worth 100 times what Paradox is still failing to even come close to the level of gameplay that Paradox produces. The music in this game is absolutely 10/10, like all of their games. A friend of mine said they actually play CK2 in one of their lectures to learn history. Anyway, keep it up Paradox, love your games, love your business model, hope you do well and aren't bought out in the end, you have a huge chunk of players that worship you.

[@wewlad-n1g]

Also, can you add an option to newer versions of games where you can enable the old soundtrack? I got the newest CK2 DLC and I would love to play the old soundtrack on it. Thanks!

[@Demipimp]

What school is he at?

[@Ghosy01]

i disagree , hoi4 and stellaris are bare minimums compared to eu4 and ck2

[@팡팡팡-j8i]

I don't think so. There are more impressive games I've played such as skyrim where you can enjoy various contents. 'The witcher' and 'Tomb raider' are also deserved to be named as the most well - made games in the world.

Me too. I haven't even bought Crusader Kings 3. For me Crusader Kings 2 is perfect and Crusader Kings 3 still has a long way to go compared to how well Crusader Kings 2 was finished. Too bad, I was expecting Crusader Kings 3 to have the same game content that Crusader Kings 2 culminated in. It's interesting because the community fooled themselves for years on this one

[@paulmustermann7068]

When I first launched CK 2 I had a shit computer, and it took so long to load the game that the title screen with the world map popped up RIGHT at 1:20. From that moment on I was sold to all Paradox games, good memories.

[@NLen02]

I had that too, maybe it is on purpose

[@T-minus-infinite]

omg same, I thought they timed it like that on purpose

[@arnold9448]

The main title is just epic! Thank you Paradox Interactive for making this masterpiece, I absolutely love it! I've just began playing this game, I've been a hardcore player of the Total War series, but this game has so much more depth to it: a whole religion system, a deeper taxes system, you need to take care of your spouses (marry them etc) and mush more! I've just grasped the surface of this game, I absolutely love it!

@@wotanvonedelsburg1610 beautiful but shallow for a ck2 veteran. After a few years of content, it'll be a masterpiece.

[@wotanvonedelsburg1610]

@@HistoryTeacherSteve I'm glad, yes Ck3 is visually beautiful and has a much stronger engine, but as you said the content of the DLC is not there. I was even shocked that they didn't even import the nomadic governments from ck2 into Ck3. With the republics I can understand it, in Ck2 they are really unbalanced with a good player. But that they themselves have simplified the laws now yes strongly I also found disappointing. But that with the religions and soon cultures I find again good. But as you also said in 4 years at the latest you can look in there again in Ck3 and until then Ck2 play with mods. Have heard the "Ck2+" mod is great, have this then also translated into German.

@@wotanvonedelsburg1610 I agree with you! I am excited for the new DLC, I hope it adds depth. You are German? My wife grew up in the Pfalz near Bad Dürkheim. Beautiful country

(Wotan von Edelsburg is a fictional name, the dynasty or the place Edelsburg does not exist and Wotan is from the old germanic god). That's nice.

Been looking for a game this deep for ages. But at last CK II seems to have what I'm looking for and much more. It's an added bonus to have such a beautiful sound track. The best I've heard for any game. It could be an OST for a movie epic. CK II the movie anyone?

[@pauldavis9217]

The first couple hours of this game may be a bit of a confusing slog but with some dedication, this game has easily become one of my top 10 in just a couple weeks. I already have 50 hours (~40 in the first two weeks of owning it)! It just sucks you in with the nebulous politics of your realm and leads to the most interesting events and is just damn fun.

Oh, you sweet summer child. This is the type of game that you start on at 5, planning to take an hour after school to relax, then look outside and realize it's four in the morning. At any rate, if you're having trouble figuring it out, try going off ironman and enabling cheats. It allows you to get a grasp on the mechanics without worrying so much about the minutia, I think.

[@ae3qe27u3]

Also, looked you up on Steam, but there's 588 results for "The Nutcracker", so... Look up Ae3qe27u, alright? I'll see if I can't help you out. :)

+Paradox Interactive Well? Where are they? It's been a year since you commented on this. The other guy that had all the DLC songs either deleted his channel or you guys shut him down.
