I've used up my 3 so you'll have to use one of your wishes.
the nice thing about the official CK2->EU4 convertor was that you didn't actually have to play til the end of CK2 (1337) to use it. It would just take whatever state the world was in at the time of your save and convert that to an EU4 start map. And the convertor wasn't really about continuing to play the same country for me anyways, it was mostly just about giving me some alternative starting maps to play from in EU4 for added variety.
Oh snap I didn't know it worked that way. I thought it was like some rpg converters where you can sort of port your decisions over from game 1 over to its sequel. But that's a pretty cool way of utilizing it!

Cities Skylines it is then. Fuck it might as well just make it an Earth simulator from ancient times to the future. Easy peasy. The details are for the genie and paradox to figure out.
a more realistic wish is that they simply kept developing (and actually maintaining) a savegame convertor between the franchises.
I love it when game devs do stuff this. A cool one I remember from way back when was the Total War Battle Mod which integrated total war battles into eu4 (sort of). I remember it being janky and not practical at all having to bounce between games, but a super cool concept.
My problem with these converters is that I virtually never play a game from start to finish, so I'd never get to the end in CK3 to then port over to EU5. I guess that'd be wish number three: to make the late games of these titles more engaging to me so that I stop replaying the first 100 years of EU4 and CK3.

I think I picked up one of the anno games a while back during a giveaway (think it was 1404?) but never got around to trying it. Though I'm not sure how comparable it would be given how long ago it came out. I'll check out 1800 as well, thanks!

I loved that you actually got faster and jumped higher the more you level them up, lol. I believe the level 100 acrobatics perk was that you could do backflips? And the one for athletics was that you could run on water? Both super useless but boy did I have fun with them. I wish more games let you literally go faster and jump higher as you progress, rather than just increasing your stamina or whatever. Felt more immersive, and really incentivized me to run/jump everywhere rather than fast traveling, which then caused me to explore more of the world and encounter more cool content that I otherwise might have missed.

If I had a video game genie appear in front of me and give me three game-related wishes, one of them would for sure be for paradox to simply combine all their games into one epic, massive, monstrosity of a game that starts in roman times (Imperator), then moves into the medieval period (CK), then the age of exploration and colonization (EU), then the industrial revolution (Victoria), then the 20th century (HoI), and finally into the future (Stellaris), taking all the best parts of each of them. (Wish number two would be for it to be playable on current-gen hardware without instantly exploding my computer, lol).
I'm still having way too much fun bouncing between nations at the moment.
Haha, amen. I look forward to starting up 1000 games (and never finishing any of them) in my near future.

Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. all have the capital necessary to withstand a really bad year or two, buying out smaller companies in the process that don't have pockets deep enough to keep themselves afloat when things turn sour. Then in a couple of years once things have rebounded, they'll be even more powerful/dominant than they already are. Seems a logical step in this
cannibalisticcapitalistic world we live in, the consolidation of resources.Kinda like small independent farms being bought out by large mega-farms during drought years.

Honestly that was one of my favorite parts of the original game. One of the few games I've managed to play without any sort of HUD at all. Possible only because the world design is so visually clear and interesting, making it super easy to use the map and markers to figure out where to go next.
Glad to hear the sequel is the same in that regard!

That sounds super shitty.
I've never played the anno series before, but was very interested in checking this one out. How integral is the story to the gameplay? Like do you just muck about in a sandbox city that you create, or are there like missions and events that you're always working towards or dealing with?
And I'm surprised it does well with a controller! I've played plenty of city builders before but only with m+k so a controller sounds pretty crazy.

Glad to hear the combat is nice, but I'm surprised to hear that the story is better too! Maybe I'm just remembering Oblivion too fondly, but I loved the story and setting. How does the world in the game feel? One of my biggest concerns with big open-world rpg games is whether the world feels lively and with tons of stuff to do... or sparsely populated with little side content. Heck the side missions are probably why I loved Oblivion so much.
I'm also interested in checking out Tainted Grail: Conquest, which seems to be a deckbuilder set in the same world.

I've been avoiding the allure of EU5 to both a) give it a bit more time in the oven as paradox games tend to get better with time, and b) not have it consume my life since I'm in the middle of some big life changes right now (I'd be right there with you on the 71 hours, lol)
Your After Action Report of your game as Castile did sound just like a game of Crusader Kings! That makes me even more excited to get it, rats. Europa Universalis with the economics of Victoria and the character emphasis of Crusader Kings is exactly what I was hoping for. Based on your review it sounds like the CK part is great, and the Victoria part still needs some time in the oven.
Have you experienced late game yet? I'm curious how it feels compared to EU4.

Then I saw the second half of your post talking about SP Football Life and was piqued since I love soccer. I totally get you on the whole FIFA microtransaction thing. Used to play them every year but haven't touched them for probably a decade or more at this point once all the ultimate team stuff took off. Have some fond memories of PES from when I was a kid, so your description of SP Football Life 26 sounded interesting.
I was already contemplating whether or not I should spend the money on it. How much could it be anyways? If it just released then maybe it's like 50-60 bucks, but if its a smaller studio then maybe its cheaper at like 30-40. So I go to look it up and see that there's no Steam page. Uh oh, maybe it's a console exclusive, darn. Then I click on the main page for the game and learn that.... it's a free community-driven passion project?
SP Football Life is an experimental project that aims to continue the legacy of career modes found in the Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) series. In contrast to the new gaming trends focusing on online gaming and pay-to-win style, SP Football Life focuses on the continuation of the traditional career modes and gameplay.
This is a free undertaking driven by the passion for PES's career modes, implementing customized content and revamped assets to offer players a fresh experience. SP Football Life doesn't support online connectivity or provide access to PES's online features or modes
YES dude career mode was always my favorite. So basically it's an updated, single-player, free version of PES made by people who love the game. Hell yeah dude thank you for introducing me to this! Sounds exactly up my alley and I can't wait to check it out once I get home later.

fefellama Link ParentHey that sounds awesome! Was it like an immediate shift or more gradual?Hey that sounds awesome! Was it like an immediate shift or more gradual?
Forgive my ignorance, but how 'independent' is Hong Kong? I always thought they were mostly independent, but then reading through your crackdown link, it sounds like that may not be the case at all.
I saw the article last night about the arrests and thought the same thing. Like the fires are still going and you've made three arrests already? Seemed scapegoat-y to me but I didn't know enough about the incident or HK to make such a claim.
