Just an update on this, Paradox of course days later announced a new studio is taking over the console edition, video about that here - ruclips.net/video/EcrKpfbib6w/видео.html
Hope they adjust controls at some point, CK3's are hideous compared to Stellaris. The D-pad being a glorified camera control identical in function to the analog stick is madness.
Console player here. Thank you for shedding light on this. I’m a year away from building a PC but I enjoy CK3 on the console. Maybe I just don’t know what I’m missing and ignorance is bliss. At any rate I promise you when I do build my PC I won’t turn into one of those snobby pricks that seems to be unaware that all of us have different financial obligations. Good thing the economy is strong and we aren’t dealing with record inflation. That would be crazy.
I went from playing ck3 on console and then switching to PC and difference is absolutely night and day . I could never go back to the clunky controls and convoluted ways of getting simple tasks done. I promise you will be so happy when you get your hands on it for the pc
We all know that feeling, when you have built up a great Empire and for whatever reason THE WORST heir ever generated inherits the entire thing because Vassals voted poorly and you have to watch centuries of hard work crumble to dust in a just handful of years. Sure glad its just a game.

Some community manager in the console discord chat said that we‘d get an announcement in a few weeks. He said he cant reveal anything more since he would be sued the hell out of. I hope we get that announcement soon since it‘s already been a week or two since he said that
I saw someone else say they probably hire these “industry plants” to keep us console players interested and hopeful that they’ll eventually fix the game, all the while they do bare minimum and continue scamming the community for a $50 game that doesn’t work.

@Malforian yes sir, cross fingers. I dont care if we get late dlcs etc, or the base games even, as long as we do get them, and are well done, and the updates that improve the game and add features. When u say tours and tournaments adds a lot of life, is it mostly the update that came with it? Bcz i heard the update adds a lot by itself.
It’s annoying. I’d play on PC if I could afford to but all I have is a used Chrome book. Hell, I’d play Stellaris on PC if I could. It plays fine enough on Console but recently theirs been a lot of graphical glitches with the character models.
Yes thank you. I love playing on my controller on a big tv, cuddling with my bf and my dog. It is really sad that Paradox let us down, and they are taking the same path with Stellaris now.
Just fyi, you can play it on the Xbox one(not the series xs) through streaming from the cloud, and runs surprisingly ok. Granted, depending how good the connection is. My guesstimation is they could possibly support it in further future consoles. If paradox even wishes to of course.
I gave up on the console edition after multiple hundreds of hours on it; every update gets worse and worse, to the point where the most recent updates straight up broke the game's save system for me. I play on PC now despite how crap my PC is.
Had this game for like 3 years and i still could not finish a run to this day bc of the save file corruption crashing my game and deleting my ironman runs. Video Games should never be in a forgotten state such as this, especially from a renowned company like Paradox, who has already done well at maintaining Stellaris on consoles. So i dont understand why the same cant be done for CK3. I can accept being months behind the PC playerbase in terms of updates but a port of a game should not be unplayable for years on end after release, especially when releasing and selling dlc for said game. Thanks for the video. I swear sometimes it felt like us console players were going insane waiting for a fix to game breaking bugs that never came and being ignored by the wider gaming community as a whole. There was barely any coverage of this entire debacle for the years its been active and its only just now about to turn around. I honestly thought we were just being ignored.
I have several hundred hours in CK3 for my xbox. Its genuinely heart breaking how little paradox seems to care about us. This is true for all their games on console btw. We don't even have Cities Skylines 2 yet. It really does feel like Paradox throws money at the cheapest studio they can find to pot their games to console then forgets about them.
thank you for understanding. im one of those that don't have a gamer pc. but I've been looking into GeForce now with steam games just because of ck3. on gamepass it's unsaveble after getting 25% of the map
I used to be a console player for a time. I got bored with upgrading my computer so often. It started getting expensive. I was a laptop and console user for a good 7 years or so. I came back to the PC later on, my last owned console was a PS4. I do understand the console plight. CK3 isn't the best title for console. It is not well optimised, especially in the late game. I can't imagine how horrible it would be on a console to get into 1453. I doubt the port is that easy to make happen. The biggest problem with consoles is how the memory and processor are arranged. Also, all of the UI has to be adapted to make it functional with a controller.
2 months after this video and we still haven’t gotten friends and Foes (which is literally only pop-ups) and from the very little sporadic kind of rumors that we’ve gotten SEPTEMBER is when we’re maybe going to “get information on the next dlc” so, knowing the console edition’s snail pace of releasing DLC we’re probably not getting anything until maybe December if we’re lucky, which will put it at a year since the last DLC. As somebody who doesn’t have a PC (although I am very fervently saving up money to get one because I’m sick and tired of this bullshit) I’m tired of the runaround PDX and Lab42 have been giving us for the last 2 YEARS!!! I know the new team got in last month and I hope they do well but I’m hoping by August to have a PC so I won’t have to deal with any more bullshit from this piece of shit company that made a whole big fucking deal about the console edition just to fucking ignore it like it’s the redheaded stepchild of the family….
Yeah, Lab42 is the problem here. They're a bunch of monkeys with hammers and everything is a nail. Even attempt they have made at stabilising the game has made everything worse. If I was paradox, I would have fired these guys last year when they dropped royal court and made the game unplayable for 6 months...
As a console player I can say. It is better than nothing in the strategy gaming category. But it takes be 5-10 steps more to do anything than it does pc players. It’s bad but I still get enjoyment out of spreads my dynasty across the world.
I only just started playing CK3 on Series X. I havent encountered any bugs or anything yet. That being said, Im literally hovering over the Chapter 1 pack, trying to find out if Royal Court works yet 😂
As a console player who brought every expansion for Stellaris on console seeing paradox ignoring console feels bad, the problem with crusader kings 3 on console is they just ported the pc controls to console which make it very bad to play with a game pad not to mention bugs that get ignored which makes the game even more terrible to play on console 😢
I played ck2 souch and I got ck3 the day it came out on steam played it for a month or two then my pc broke and couldn't afford va new pc so my family gifted me a ps5 and just found out ck3 is on ps5 and am loving it of course there some issues but that's mainly just because it's on console I just need to get used to it
In all honesty, its not actually that bad on xbox. I have been playing it since release on series x. Last year was the worst because of the massive bugs that came with the royal court expansion. Thats what they fixed in December. Yeah, it took them almost 6 months to fix the absolute cluster f they caused with royal court. Beyond that, it isn't actually that bad. The bugs are few and far between. Most of the time the bugs result from 3 or 4 events firing at once. Especially when you're interacting with the royal court itself. For some reason, unless you manually stop time from progressing, it doesn't pause the game. so events fire while interacting with your court and causes the controls to lock up and requiring you to dashboard the game and reload. I still have over 1000 hours in the game though. I wish I could play on PC but my lifestyle prohibits that. I move around a lot and a PC isn't viable for me. Especially since I only have a limited amount of space I can use to move stuff. So the only way I can play this game is on xbox...
Console player here. Are the mongols finally competent like in this video after the dlc and updates? 😂 I literally have to pay them to make it challenging. And even then, they wage war on some tiny count that lasts several years.
Im in the same boat, on ps5, in so curious to try it out, its on sale too on ps store. But im worried for now of the saves bug and crashes. And maybe ill wait for the tours and tournaments update. But there's good news today, paradox just announced that they have got new devs to take care of consoles ports and are committed to it.🤞
The game does work. It isn't nearly as bad as it was in July last year. The problem isn't that it doesn't work. The problem is nothing is said about it and its treated like it doesn't exist. So we get very few updates either from Lab42 or Paradox themselves. Essentially making it feel like this version of the game has been shelved... But I believe the silence has been because Paradox has been trying to find a development team to take over their console ports. They recently hired a new team. So I'm guessing Lab42 will get the boot they deserve and an update will be given to the console community to explain the process going forward within a few weeks... The game isn't the problem. Lab42 is the problem. They're a bunch of incompetent fools who are out of their depth and they have no idea what they're doing here...
@leburger5160 its already been announced while back, like i posted here b4. Lab42 is out, and they have a new group of better experienced reputable devs on it.
Tried it because it was on the extra store. Seems like a fun game but mannnnnnn was it daunting getting thru all the windows and looking at tooltips. I think I took as many hours total to clear Annos campaign on console so it wasnt that bad but man six times pressing the o button to close a window only to go back into that window sure does suck alot of fun and make it a pain to play. Would be 500000 times more enjoyable to click create a title than scrolling all around with the dpad.
Ps5 player here and console is good it has some meh but all this bs makes sense and makes me sad. I got the first package and waiting for the second but makes me think i wont see it
My thing about the game is some of the games I play on Xbox and playstation work with a mouse and keyboard but why doesn't ck3 if any game on console should be compatible with a mouse and keyboard why not ck3 or at least give us the option
Pardox updates on console always lags behind heck it took over a year for us to get an update pc had on Stellaris but they than rampped up production time to where we are few months behind dlc from pc.
Thats Paradox fault how they put ALL the DLCs are for PC and Xbox and NOT ps5 when PS5 has sold double the consoles is mind boggling. I’m glad I got it on ps5 ps plus for free and looked up all the DLCs online and found out they are like 2 years late with DLCs on ps5 and uninstalled very fast even tho i LOVED the game.
Surely there's a chance Europa universalis comes out on Xbox series x and Ps5? Crusader Kings failed but Stellaris has done decent. There is definitely potential for grand strategy games on console
Getting a PC is an investment, maybe start with a decent cheap laptop , there’s so much more games that are cheap that you’ll have access to from playing on PC. I get consoles , I have a console and like playing My single player games on the big tv but I do majority of my gaming on the PC , and I can’t see myself NOT playing games on the PC. I know it’s hard out here and you Don’t have to be RICH to get a good decent PC , just gotta save up , be smart , and manage your money if you really wanna get a PC. Highly recommend guys.
No buddy sometimes your age gets to you and sitting on a desk is hard for me nowadays I have a 3500$ laptop and I don’t use it after 2 hours cause my back hurts
You know whats funny i dont even want the dlc royal court broke the game they should fix it. Feels frustrating because the player base would have been pretty big if the game wasn't broken. I feel like they should just give us are money back feels like there should be a lawsuit cant even play it.
Most people stepped away from this game because of how gamebreaking most of the menu bugs are, i'm assuming its no better today than it was a year ago?
i have ck3 on pc and xbox because my friends dont have pc, so im going into a game playing the welsh about to create super longbowmen then i remember oh i cant. xbox needs updating immidietly. i love ck3 on pc great game, but ck3 xbox is hell, barely anything that pc has, terrible performance. you have a limited number of saves, in multiplayer it kicks you to log in after 2-3 hours even though you logged in already. and my god the crashes its worse than a nascar race.
While I feel for console players, it's clear the gaming industry is moving on, and PDX knows this. Soon you'll be streaming most of your games through Game Pass or similar services, you won't need an expensive PC anymore. So it doesn't make sense for PDX to devote significant time to develop console editions, since their presence on consoles was always an afterthought. Tbh consoles were not designed with grand strategy games in mind, so PDX has to go through many hoops to redesign a game for a console. And then they're competing with content like first-party games Sony develops for PS5, which are the primary drive to buy a console. The situation where you don't own any laptop (which is enough to stream a game) and you own only a console is pretty rare in the developed world, and gaming companies do not target other markets really, unless they make mobile games. Streaming games also solves problem of cheating important for games with heavy monetization. In sum, sorry to say, grand strategy on console is a dying genre.
100% agree i think they probably wish they hadnt done the console edition, seems like its not a great return on the investment... if it was making money they would have the DLC coming out sooner
@@MemeMenace That’s anecdotal data. I can say exactly the opposite: since late 1990s everyone I know owns at least one PC, and most people I know do not own any console. But all of that heavily depends on the country where you live, area (urban vs rural), minimum and typical wages in your country/area, general availability of consumer electronics in your country/area, and so on. Like I said, most gaming companies target only developed countries, which include like first ~40-50, maybe even less countries from HDI list en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developed_country. And in some countries, they target only part of their population (e.g., in China, Russia, etc.). In many cases, the target is even much much smaller. I don’t play mainstream games, but I played Baldur’s Gate 3. This game had a budget of around $100 million (which is more than perhaps all of Paradox games had). Still, it only was localized in the following languages: English, French, German, Polish, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Turkish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Italian, Ukrainian, Korean, and recently Japanese. Meaning, they don’t seriously consider any other market which predominantly uses a different language. PC gaming market is generally larger than console market, there is around 1.5 billion machines running Windows right now (not including Macs or Linux PCs). Steam only has around 120 million active users every day. PlayStation Network, for example, has 108 million active users, and their most popular console sold only 157 million units total. In terms of demographics, console users tend to be younger than PC users (and Paradox targets older gamers). So, after so many years statistics are still more favorable for PCs and PC gaming.
Yh first time playin on consol and love the game to bits but after year 1000 game will crash multiple tiles minutes after launch and somtimes delete save file. Makes game unplayable past a point very disappointing and made me quit
I stopped playing after they messed up the game in the previous dlc took them months to fix a save crash …. Won’t be spending another penny on this company.
@@MajorChipHazard316 no I did not see that comment thanks thoe, cool good new hopefully they will start making the game actually work and bring out the dlcs as were like 2 years behind the pc. I actually really love this game but it took them months to fix a save file error kept crashing so I just give up onit.
Não consertaram esse bug ainda, hoje mesmo perdi meu save de 15 horas por conta disso. Semana passada também perdi outro de aproximadamente 10 horas, em determinado momento o jogo começa a travar periodicamente, até que em algum desses travamentos os dados salvos simplesmente são corrompidos. Suspeito que esse problema veio por conta da DLC Royal court, porque anteriormente eu tive um save que consegui passar por 3 gerações, após eu comprar a dlc não consegui mais ultrapassar meu primeiro herdeiro, sempre perco o save após 70 a 90 anos no jogo.
How come on console you can’t set your end date ? You play the game for 3 days then the game ends. Complete rip off on console. Worse game I ever brought
They love the game, they enjoy the premise of the game. Let them have their fun with what they are given. I respect console gamers in this game so much
Why the fuc would anyone play the modless console version? That's like having a chick fil a sandwhich with no spice or ranch? Just a plain old boring chicken sandwhich.
I’m a trophy hunter on PlayStation, I like CK3. I like the fact I can get a platinum trophy for CK3 even though I literally own a £1000 gaming laptop, so I play it on console. I have 100%, and when the next dlc comes out with trophies I’ll do those. I’ve also done rimworld 100% on console. I wish they’d bring EU4 to console, and I’d do that, even though I have that on my laptop already. I have literally zero interest in mods, because I play for the achievements as intended in games and that’s it. We can all have opinions on what constitutes ‘boring’, motivations vastly differ on why people play games and that’s a good thing, there’s no ‘superior’ reason or motive. How about you do you, and let everyone else do them.
My guy, not everyone can pay upwards of a thousand dollars for a good rig. We console players aren't asking for much, just a working product. Mods aren't really that necessary if the dlc is good enough.
Just an update on this, Paradox of course days later announced a new studio is taking over the console edition, video about that here - ruclips.net/video/EcrKpfbib6w/видео.html

As a console player I can say. It is better than nothing in the strategy gaming category. But it takes be 5-10 steps more to do anything than it does pc players. It’s bad but I still get enjoyment out of spreads my dynasty across the world.
I only just started playing CK3 on Series X. I havent encountered any bugs or anything yet. That being said, Im literally hovering over the Chapter 1 pack, trying to find out if Royal Court works yet 😂
....7 minutes later I just said screw it, and bought it. As SOON as I saw my Irish King sitting on a throne, I said "Worth it " 😂
Let's goo
🎉
@Malforian how can I change my screen bounds on console most of my screen is cut off and It makes it hard to play
As a console player who brought every expansion for Stellaris on console seeing paradox ignoring console feels bad, the problem with crusader kings 3 on console is they just ported the pc controls to console which make it very bad to play with a game pad not to mention bugs that get ignored which makes the game even more terrible to play on console 😢
Yoo homie aswome vid!
I originally started playing on console and I just bought the pc version last week and it’s like playing a whole different game
I don’t really get crashes are performance problems on my Xbox when I play
Thank you mate
You're welcome!
I played ck2 souch and I got ck3 the day it came out on steam played it for a month or two then my pc broke and couldn't afford va new pc so my family gifted me a ps5 and just found out ck3 is on ps5 and am loving it of course there some issues but that's mainly just because it's on console I just need to get used to it
In all honesty, its not actually that bad on xbox. I have been playing it since release on series x. Last year was the worst because of the massive bugs that came with the royal court expansion. Thats what they fixed in December. Yeah, it took them almost 6 months to fix the absolute cluster f they caused with royal court. Beyond that, it isn't actually that bad. The bugs are few and far between. Most of the time the bugs result from 3 or 4 events firing at once. Especially when you're interacting with the royal court itself. For some reason, unless you manually stop time from progressing, it doesn't pause the game. so events fire while interacting with your court and causes the controls to lock up and requiring you to dashboard the game and reload. I still have over 1000 hours in the game though. I wish I could play on PC but my lifestyle prohibits that. I move around a lot and a PC isn't viable for me. Especially since I only have a limited amount of space I can use to move stuff. So the only way I can play this game is on xbox...
How about a gaming laptop? 15 inch one was my main gaming PC, powerful and easy to carry. 😊
Console player here. Are the mongols finally competent like in this video after the dlc and updates? 😂 I literally have to pay them to make it challenging. And even then, they wage war on some tiny count that lasts several years.
yeah they get kinda good once some of the more recent DLC came out, still hoping for a steppe horde DLC in the future though
stellaris console edition seems to have been abandoned as well
I think Paradox low key dropped them without saying anything
oh i thought the stellaris one seemed to be getting DLC pretty often, thats sad to hear
@Malforian there's lots of dlcs on ps store. Maybe late but that's ok, better late and well finished than early.
Thats wrong btw we are getting paragons amd first contact soon
@Malforian
Stellaris hasn't been abandoned but it is quite far behind the PC version.
You’re a man of honor
Should I get the game? It’s only $22 right now but I’m not sure if it even works
Yes
Im in the same boat, on ps5, in so curious to try it out, its on sale too on ps store.
But im worried for now of the saves bug and crashes. And maybe ill wait for the tours and tournaments update.
But there's good news today, paradox just announced that they have got new devs to take care of consoles ports and are committed to it.🤞
The game does work. It isn't nearly as bad as it was in July last year. The problem isn't that it doesn't work. The problem is nothing is said about it and its treated like it doesn't exist. So we get very few updates either from Lab42 or Paradox themselves. Essentially making it feel like this version of the game has been shelved...
But I believe the silence has been because Paradox has been trying to find a development team to take over their console ports. They recently hired a new team. So I'm guessing Lab42 will get the boot they deserve and an update will be given to the console community to explain the process going forward within a few weeks...
The game isn't the problem. Lab42 is the problem. They're a bunch of incompetent fools who are out of their depth and they have no idea what they're doing here...
@leburger5160 its already been announced while back, like i posted here b4.
Lab42 is out, and they have a new group of better experienced reputable devs on it.
No its free now
Tried it because it was on the extra store.
Seems like a fun game but mannnnnnn was it daunting getting thru all the windows and looking at tooltips.
I think I took as many hours total to clear Annos campaign on console so it wasnt that bad but man six times pressing the o button to close a window only to go back into that window sure does suck alot of fun and make it a pain to play.
Would be 500000 times more enjoyable to click create a title than scrolling all around with the dpad.
The crazy thing is that the stellaris port is very good from what I've heard
same and the CK one is great when it works lol
If you click on a artifact while its being made on console the game freezes up completely
All I ask for is Tours and Tournaments and a couple bug fixes for console and I wouldn’t ask for anything more.
Ps5 player here and console is good it has some meh but all this bs makes sense and makes me sad. I got the first package and waiting for the second but makes me think i wont see it
They just announced they have a new dev team! It's coming
@Malforian is it gonna have 2 people on it?
@@Malforianfriend or foes 2 years later bro? Cmon that’s a slap to the face wards and wardens give you great new traits.
My thing about the game is some of the games I play on Xbox and playstation work with a mouse and keyboard but why doesn't ck3 if any game on console should be compatible with a mouse and keyboard why not ck3 or at least give us the option
True like ff14 for us on PS5 and thats a larger game than this and it’s a mmo
I think chapter II will release in automn for consoles.
Pardox updates on console always lags behind heck it took over a year for us to get an update pc had on Stellaris but they than rampped up production time to where we are few months behind dlc from pc.
Thats Paradox fault how they put ALL the DLCs are for PC and Xbox and NOT ps5 when PS5 has sold double the consoles is mind boggling. I’m glad I got it on ps5 ps plus for free and looked up all the DLCs online and found out they are like 2 years late with DLCs on ps5 and uninstalled very fast even tho i LOVED the game.
Someone understands Xbox players. Im glad someone is talking about Xbox edition it's the only way I can play is on xbox
@@Strange-Outdoors got an Xbox myself so I do!
Surely there's a chance Europa universalis comes out on Xbox series x and Ps5? Crusader Kings failed but Stellaris has done decent. There is definitely potential for grand strategy games on console
Getting a PC is an investment, maybe start with a decent cheap laptop , there’s so much more games that are cheap that you’ll have access to from playing on PC. I get consoles , I have a console and like playing
My single player games on the big tv but I do majority of my gaming on the PC , and I can’t see myself NOT playing games on the PC. I know it’s hard out here and you
Don’t have to be RICH to get a good decent PC , just gotta save up , be smart , and manage your money if you really wanna get a PC. Highly recommend guys.
No buddy sometimes your age gets to you and sitting on a desk is hard for me nowadays I have a 3500$ laptop and I don’t use it after 2 hours cause my back hurts
found this game for free download on playstation plus, great game
Same and almost bought all the DLCs until I saw this and looked up how bad they diss us ps5 players 😅
You know whats funny i dont even want the dlc royal court broke the game they should fix it. Feels frustrating because the player base would have been pretty big if the game wasn't broken. I feel like they should just give us are money back feels like there should be a lawsuit cant even play it.
Most people stepped away from this game because of how gamebreaking most of the menu bugs are, i'm assuming its no better today than it was a year ago?
Rumor is that the Next update is this august
I hope that i dont have to add ck3 to the list of "forgotten" console releases of good games
Paradox just announced they have just changed to a more experienced dev group with good rep for their console ports.
🤞
the game probably doesn't sell well on consoles, so Paradox doesn't care..so they add some dlc here and there, that's all.
I don’t believe they have a conqueror option on console
They do not
I thought that bethesda was terrible, but they surpassed them, for bethesda games you have mods on consoles to fix the buggs, they don't care
i have ck3 on pc and xbox because my friends dont have pc, so im going into a game playing the welsh about to create super longbowmen then i remember oh i cant. xbox needs updating immidietly. i love ck3 on pc great game, but ck3 xbox is hell, barely anything that pc has, terrible performance. you have a limited number of saves, in multiplayer it kicks you to log in after 2-3 hours even though you logged in already. and my god the crashes its worse than a nascar race.
While I feel for console players, it's clear the gaming industry is moving on, and PDX knows this. Soon you'll be streaming most of your games through Game Pass or similar services, you won't need an expensive PC anymore. So it doesn't make sense for PDX to devote significant time to develop console editions, since their presence on consoles was always an afterthought. Tbh consoles were not designed with grand strategy games in mind, so PDX has to go through many hoops to redesign a game for a console. And then they're competing with content like first-party games Sony develops for PS5, which are the primary drive to buy a console. The situation where you don't own any laptop (which is enough to stream a game) and you own only a console is pretty rare in the developed world, and gaming companies do not target other markets really, unless they make mobile games. Streaming games also solves problem of cheating important for games with heavy monetization. In sum, sorry to say, grand strategy on console is a dying genre.
100% agree i think they probably wish they hadnt done the console edition, seems like its not a great return on the investment... if it was making money they would have the DLC coming out sooner
Most my life and that of everyone I know do not have any form of PC
@@MemeMenace That’s anecdotal data. I can say exactly the opposite: since late 1990s everyone I know owns at least one PC, and most people I know do not own any console. But all of that heavily depends on the country where you live, area (urban vs rural), minimum and typical wages in your country/area, general availability of consumer electronics in your country/area, and so on. Like I said, most gaming companies target only developed countries, which include like first ~40-50, maybe even less countries from HDI list en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developed_country. And in some countries, they target only part of their population (e.g., in China, Russia, etc.). In many cases, the target is even much much smaller. I don’t play mainstream games, but I played Baldur’s Gate 3. This game had a budget of around $100 million (which is more than perhaps all of Paradox games had). Still, it only was localized in the following languages: English, French, German, Polish, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Turkish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Italian, Ukrainian, Korean, and recently Japanese. Meaning, they don’t seriously consider any other market which predominantly uses a different language. PC gaming market is generally larger than console market, there is around 1.5 billion machines running Windows right now (not including Macs or Linux PCs). Steam only has around 120 million active users every day. PlayStation Network, for example, has 108 million active users, and their most popular console sold only 157 million units total. In terms of demographics, console users tend to be younger than PC users (and Paradox targets older gamers). So, after so many years statistics are still more favorable for PCs and PC gaming.
@@MemeMenaceSame, the only people I know who have a PC have a Playstation or Xbox as well
Yh first time playin on consol and love the game to bits but after year 1000 game will crash multiple tiles minutes after launch and somtimes delete save file. Makes game unplayable past a point very disappointing and made me quit
Just play with One start dont have Multiple saves from other starts
@@extremebrah I only have one save
I prefers to play on console than on a burning laptop
Man i just want to play my game i paid 60$ for.
How do i zoom out when i on the menu
It has has many bugs thanks for this
Love this ❤
So Stellaris isn't a thing? I play Stellaris and ck3 on Xbox.
I stopped playing after they messed up the game in the previous dlc took them months to fix a save crash …. Won’t be spending another penny on this company.
They fired Lab42 or whatever happened and a new dev team is now working on it to fix it. I’m guessing u didn’t know or read the top comment?
@@MajorChipHazard316 no I did not see that comment thanks thoe, cool good new hopefully they will start making the game actually work and bring out the dlcs as were like 2 years behind the pc. I actually really love this game but it took them months to fix a save file error kept crashing so I just give up onit.
Não consertaram esse bug ainda, hoje mesmo perdi meu save de 15 horas por conta disso.
Semana passada também perdi outro de aproximadamente 10 horas, em determinado momento o jogo começa a travar periodicamente, até que em algum desses travamentos os dados salvos simplesmente são corrompidos.
Suspeito que esse problema veio por conta da DLC Royal court, porque anteriormente eu tive um save que consegui passar por 3 gerações, após eu comprar a dlc não consegui mais ultrapassar meu primeiro herdeiro, sempre perco o save após 70 a 90 anos no jogo.
How come on console you can’t set your end date ?
You play the game for 3 days then the game ends.
Complete rip off on console. Worse game I ever brought
You can set it to no end date
@@k1inzSukmawhere?
who plays this in console is already wrong by playing it in console, no mod? oh hell, no new dlcs? danm, people like suffering
They love the game, they enjoy the premise of the game. Let them have their fun with what they are given. I respect console gamers in this game so much
Having DLC can take out the need for mods sometimes, just look at the sims 4 on console
Why the fuc would anyone play the modless console version? That's like having a chick fil a sandwhich with no spice or ranch? Just a plain old boring chicken sandwhich.
I mean a chicken sandwich is a chicken sandwich but I get the point lol
I’m a trophy hunter on PlayStation, I like CK3. I like the fact I can get a platinum trophy for CK3 even though I literally own a £1000 gaming laptop, so I play it on console. I have 100%, and when the next dlc comes out with trophies I’ll do those. I’ve also done rimworld 100% on console. I wish they’d bring EU4 to console, and I’d do that, even though I have that on my laptop already. I have literally zero interest in mods, because I play for the achievements as intended in games and that’s it. We can all have opinions on what constitutes ‘boring’, motivations vastly differ on why people play games and that’s a good thing, there’s no ‘superior’ reason or motive. How about you do you, and let everyone else do them.
I kinda have no sympathy for anyone trying to play this kind of game on console
But they should have never released it for console to begin with.
I mean that's harsh 😬 people just want to play CK same as you just don't have a PC
That's a ridiculous statement.
Honestly you're wrong they could allow us to use mouse and keyboard on console and it could work but paradox is lazy to adapt.
I would happily buy a PC if you give me the money for one
My guy, not everyone can pay upwards of a thousand dollars for a good rig. We console players aren't asking for much, just a working product. Mods aren't really that necessary if the dlc is good enough.
