Crusader Kings 3 Review (Understand CK3 in 14 minutes or less!)

Do NOT give Paradox any money, for this game or any other game they make, until they stop their predatory financial practices. If you do not know, Paradox is notorious for shipping games out that are incomplete. They do this so they can then use the Sunk Cost Fallacy on their own customers to keep paying for "expansions" that are actually integral parts of the original game that players paid for, or a blatant cash grab from an expansion filled with pointless fluff.

I'm currently overwhelmed by the mechanics and this really helps.
thanks!

Is CK2 better?

:)

Nice guide, thanks - was struggling to see how I could enjoy this game - you helped

I wish banner lord and crusader king could just fuck and make a beautiful new game.

Strategy games are way too complicated for me

Great review. I sent this to a friend to try and convince him to get the game. Lets hope it works

Can u plz further simplify it? I just watched the video and I’m still confused.

Nice to see such a good video from a smaller streamer, I have now commented, liked and subscribed.

PARADOX

Best video I’ve seen about summarising the game! I’m half way on my second play through, and find a little bored but now I’ve gotten more ideas from you. Thank you!

Nice

"de jure" is not pronounced "de zeur". It's "De Yure". It means "by (legal) right. Nice video, very informative.

Thank you for your video. Helped me decide to finally get and try the game. So far I am having a blast even though I'm not sure about what I am doing. Hahaha. So many details and a lot of things to process. Different kind of play style from what I always play like the rpg. In Crusader Kings 3 it makes me feel like I am wrting my story especially with all the choices and decisions I have to make. It takes sometime trying to review all the spouses available for my sons. With this game you really have to take time and study all the things presented to you hoping you make the right decisions. But if you don't it still ok because you get surprised on how things worked differently. Thanks again

Cool video, good for newcomers. wish I had this when trying to introduce my ex to the franchise

Got hooked into paradox games specifically with Victoria 2, I enjoy them all but vicky 2 was certainly my longtime favorite… until I immersed myself in ck2. The whole “game of thrones” aspect to it instantly won me over and has held me captive with no hope of random ever since

While I'm playing and enjoying CK 3 I'm beginning to think I should've waited, I have spent over £200 on CK2 which I have played to death and while I appreciate some of the improvements in CK3 over CK2, CK2 is feature complete and arguably, though in my opinion easily, the better game.

I personally would recommend CK2 with its subscription based system now to anyone thinking about CK3, and tell them to wait until CK3 has a subscription system, it would be a far cheaper option as Paradox these days has a very aggressive and, in my opinion, expensive DLC policy, I expect to pay at least as much, if not more on CK3 over the period of its life, and though it pains me to say it, if Royal Court is the example of what to expect then I'm seriously worried for the future of the game, a lot of videos are very positive about it but I'm going to be honest, it's no where near the standard of CK2 expansions and is a hard sell at half the price, genuinely very concerned about the quality of expansions going foward, especially as it was delayed as well and it's really isn't an awful lot more than events and flavour text with a fancy GUI that is already starting to irritate me as it feels forced as oppssed to organic to use it during a game, in fact after buying CK3 for my PS5 I'm finding the game more enjoyable without the Royal Court expansion. All of the features it adds could quite easily have been added with out the Royal Court GUI and done a hell of a lot cheaper for the player.

Cool video dude👍
You sold me😊

This game is coming to the ps5 and after watching your review breakdown I'm going to give it a try do you recommend the dlc part to or just base game

great video

This Video was informative for me and I will most likely try this game but excuse moi the Hre fell in the 18th century not the 15th. Napoleon himself dismantled it.

A very clear explanation and clean video production. Helped me decide to give a go good sir, well done!

Fantastic video! Thank you for this detailed look at a game that has been on my radar for a while now!

Thank you for this Review. I saw it on sale today and because of you i decided to give it a try.

Wonderful Video! Thank you ^^

I've played for a few hundred hours. But I've modded the game for a few thousand hours.

CK3 modding is my favorite game.

Crusader Kings III, definitely gona buy this game after watching this video. Thank you so much! ^^

Good job summarizing it for someone, like me, who has never played this type of game.

Ok, you convinced me to buy it

Yo! Just found your channel, and really enjoyed your stuff; keep at it! 100% agree about CK3 being one of the best games for new folks to learn Paradox games as the tutorial in this one was ACTUALLY helpful to understand the core gameplay for a change.

CK3 is a SIMS/RPG with some maps in the background

just a help comment

After watching a few good videos on it, I think you just ultimately convinced me to get the game. Cheers mate!

I actually liked this vid so here's a comment!

I own all the parodox games lol, they always look so intriguing, but I’m usually too dumb to play em lol.

You made me try this game. Thanks :D

I would say the only game I've ever tried to play that was more difficult would be Kerbal Space Program.

Thank you for the wonderfully measured and succinct review! You have a new subscriber!

This explanation was everything I wanted to know about the game before getting into it. Thank you so much! Also I loved the french pronunciation joke 🤣

My Wife and I just heard about Crusader Kings 3 and I wanted a video that showcased the game quickly, efficiently, and in a way that made sense and looked fun. Holy hot damn your video was perfect! Truly excellent work. Thank you so much for this. I didn't think I wanted to play the game until I watched your video. You've got my thumbs up and subscribe!

There you go!
Great content :)

great vids like always

Saw your comment on Mandalores video. Decided I'd stop by and watch. Best thing about paradox (namely CK and HOI4) is when everything goes off the rails and you get all these varied factions and wars. Best I had was a recent match as Estonia, securing the Baltics. Meanwhile Europe is in massive was between
German Empire
Pact of Rome
French Entente
Britian empire ( called something else I think)
Commintern
Polish faction
And some faction formed by Japan.

Honestly one of the most hilarious matched I've had.

The sooner this game comes to Xbox, the better :D

Digging European history lately! You make me get this game. Especially with these sick pronunciation skills :D Ragnar Lothbrok, Wien, Beaumont, Sheikh - sound so smooth!

great video

Well explained. Good job, comrade!
