Spring cleaning your wallet for this Monthly bundle? ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)
If you're not into Paradox grand strategy games, yeah
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, because someone complained about it last month. Since apparently one can pause while being an annual subscriber? They didn't test it though.. :P So I thought I would just leave that option out.

Well I'm complaining about somebody complaining about it! :P
j/k. No good deed goes unpunished...thank you for making these threads before others as always. <3

I read this comment and asked support about this just to be extra sure (I was using the single month option because I didn't know you could pause a month in multi-month plans) and they confirmed it's possible to do so.
I didn't test it, of course, but the example I brought was pretty straight-forward.
My question was:
"Basically, imagine I subscribed for 3 months, starting from July, but August is not appealing to my eyes. Can I pause my plan before August is revealed and still receive July, September and October instead?"
And the reply was:
"Yes, you absolutely can pause! In your Account Settings, when you click on the link Cancel my plan, you will be given the option to pause for a month."
That's a good thing, I'll probably change my plan soon.

HB Monthly makes me happy most of the times. So I guess I have to find money for a full year sub.

Its a Paradox game again.... do they ever do games without cashcow DLC's :)
Comment has been collapsed.
those include only a few more options, big content and gameplay change comes allways with free patches. I dont think you can call just one more company which doing that. If you buy any paradox game early then you will have a game for several years, which changing allways, even without buying any DLC.
Comment has been collapsed.
I actually think paradox is the one company that does DLC right although I balk at the music and cosmetic packs, those just seem retarded to me
Comment has been collapsed.
Dunno, can you ever look at a DLC list over £100 and say it feels right? CK is awesome but that's a stupid chunk of change nevertheless.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have a simple criteria:
1) Is the base game complete and playable on its own?
2) do the DLC add enough to justify the additional expense?
Just becaue there's 50 different DLC to choose from, doesn't mean it's necessarily bad. But not all DLC are wroth it
Comment has been collapsed.
Same that is how I am and CKII is one of my favorite paradox grand strategy games of all time and for me I first bought CKII base game when it was on sale and to me the base game is fully complete and the only thing that can be restricted is the different cultures/religions you can play.
But you don't need to have all the DLC to enjoy the game, like for me I just picked a few dlc here and there for different cultures/religions that I wanted to play as like the pagans and stuff - and I remember before I got CKII i've watched a bunch of videos in the past and if you look at it the game does get updated and some features for like free so it isn't like when you just purchase the base game you have like a 4 year old game?

Lol the game has 2 expansions (others are just a cosmetic pack, ebook, soundtrack and upgrade packs). Yes, due to it being a Paradox game it'll have more expansions in the future but now your argument is invalid.
Comment has been collapsed.
This game has only 1 expansion... There is a story pack and a bunch of cosmetic stuff, but you don't need that trash.
They'll probably make a lot more expansions through the game's lifetime, though.

ok i just saw the store page and i was afraid ^^
i'm not against dlc but they must have a good quality/price .
Comment has been collapsed.
Already own Stellaris. I'm not entirely sure if I'll stay subscribed or not (definitly won't pay early)...
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh man. This bundle gave me 6 WL games (Only ones I didn't redeem was Metrico and Super Rude Bear) so with another WL being the Early Unlock I'll definitely pick it up. Though I might wait till my next check to do so.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am a bit afraid, the May one was suspiciously nice one, it may have been a lure. Still, staying on board.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not into Stellaris, but bought anyway.
May bundle was great and I hope, that June will also satisfy me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Last HB Monthly was great but I don't like Stellaris,I'll pass.
Comment has been collapsed.
Too bad i preordered Stellaris nova edition:-) i love that game! wish it would be hearts of iron 4 instead, i want that aswell but i not bought that. Ill still keep my subscription, Stellaris will be a nice gift

I have mixed feelings about games with huge amounts of DLC
Comment has been collapsed.
same. However paradox grand strategy games have free patch every few months what change a lot in the game, making new experiences in the game and greatly improve replayability in time. Those patches are free, paid DLC just unlock some more minor features. The big content in those patches are free. I dont think there are any other company which updating their game for like 4-5 or more years with free content patches. The few extra option in those DLCs more like just to support these free patches.
Comment has been collapsed.
I can believe it implemented in a decent way but my spontaneous reaction is not taking this in to consideration what so ever :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Still, sometimes they go overboard...The content packs for example are just plain robbery imo. If it was included in the dlc i wouldn't be complaining at all. But i seriously payed around 200 euro for EU4, and a little bit less for Ck2. I do have quite some hours invested in the games but sometimes i wonder why i even keep supporting them. Not to mention adding stuff that breaks the gameplay unless you buy the dlc. You could play without the dlc but truly unbalanced suddenly, because AI can use things that are locked to you. I do not mind if they would release dlc and it wouldn't affect the gameplay for people that don't buy the dlc. I feel its a very passive agressive way of selling dlc...Just my 2 cents though
Comment has been collapsed.
It does though. Before i bought common sense dlc on EU4 i saw them developing provinces which is a locked feature if you don't have the dlc. It doesn't develop it as high as a player would but they definitely will develop provinces. i saw it happen alot. To a point that i usually just played a vassal game instead of outright conquering provinces myself.
Comment has been collapsed.
i wanted to say exactly as common sense as example. before i bought it AI not developed, small one province countries do a lot of development, their development stayed the same. after i bought those one province countries started to be 30+ total development around 1700+. It was even stated by paradox, AI using only those abilities what available for you too. I think you just remebered the development numbers wrong. BTW, events were allways there to change development of a province.

and here I was just thinking of skipping next month :v
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't actually buy any of them for myself, highly unlikely that I'd play any of the games. Only buy them to give away, though this month's Undertale is such a disappointment, I don't know if I'll get the next one...
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm, I've seen a bit of Stellaris and my brother quite likes it..
But Undertale was a disappointment, because I've grown to dislike the game because of it's rabid fan base D:
thankfully it seems that it's cult is dying ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
I already have Stellaris, bought it on launch so I'm not sure if I'm going to get this bundle (although every bundle so far for me, who subscribed in february, has been ok - amazing + I can give this key away in SG)
Comment has been collapsed.
how was your experience with the game?
im not sure if i want to try it out or give it away or use it for trading
ps. ive never played a paradox game before
Comment has been collapsed.
it is the perfect paradox game to start.
It is easy to learn because of 2 reasons:
1) all factions have a similar starting point so it allows the game to introduce mechanics slowly to the player
2) the tutorial is great; it basically explains every menu/tab and it repeats itself every time you enter that menu/tab unless you tell him to stop. This allows you to keep the advice of the menus you have a hard time while hiding those that are obvious.
I have around 100hs on the game and it was my first paradox title, if there is anything you want explaining i can give some feedback
Comment has been collapsed.
wow. thank you for your insight :^)
actually i think ill try the game out one day.
backlog material i guess
Comment has been collapsed.
Definitely getting at some point. Even if I win Stellaris before at least I'll have something to give away.
Comment has been collapsed.
If I wouldn't already own Stellaris, I'd be all over this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Aw man, I wish they'd announce something I'm actually interested in for once. 4x strategy games are not my cup of tea at all.
Comment has been collapsed.
Never happened before as our taste is not general. Well I don't mind a "bad" unlock that a lot of people want when they put at least one very nice other game in it. Sofar they did every month so I'm getting this regardless
Comment has been collapsed.
stellaris a great game specially if you are looking to learn paradox games.
Paradox DLC policy might scare you but you should know that the base game is thoroughly enjoyable without DLC;
there are 3 DLC. One is a "skin" pack, another adds mini bosses to make mid game more interesting and the third adds mostly mechanics to allow small empires to be stronger and competitive in the late game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not as much as Hearts of Iron 4, but it shouldn't be too bad. I only played for a short amount of time so far and already felt like I started to know what I was doing. So definitly way more accessible than for example Crusader Kings 2...
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, it is very friendly to beginners mostly for 2 reasons:
1) similar start to each faction means that you get introduced to mechanics slowly without much pressure
2) The in game tutorial is great, every menu/tab you open it will explain what that tab does; it will repeat itself until you cancel it. So if you don't fully understand a tab/menu you can keep the help "forever"
