Every year, usually twice, I try to play Victoria 2. I want to play it, I love the idea, watching other people play it and reading about it gets me really fucking excited, then I try to play, a few weeks pass, two months go by, I'm trying every day and I just can't do it. It's impenetrable. It's makes Dwarf Fortress feel like fucking Lemmings. I don't know if it's because it's just very, very complex and deep and just takes a long time to really get into, or if because it's obtuse, poorly laid out, has bizarre, unexplained rules that you have no real way of knowing and that it isn't my fault. I'm riled by it, I want to rule an absolute monarchy but I can't. I just can't. I hate you, Victoria 2, but I want to love you, you just won't let me.
Iommic Pope, I would wait until they finish adding all their little bullshit $10 individual civilisation packs into it, that's when it will actually be a finished game and they'll drop the price a bit.
