I see a lot of “last time playing Eu4 before Eu5 comes out” posts on this subreddit, but it looks like Eu5 will be a significantly different game.

And if you look at most of PDX’s titles, they tend to be extremely laggy and buggy on release, Vic 3 is probably the most notorious one and still has major problems 3 years after release, and most nations still have next to no flavour to differentiate them from other nations.

Personally, i think Eu4 is by far the best PDX game and it has so many options and content. I think it’s going to be pretty hard for Eu5 to top it at release personally unless Johan and co pull off a miracle.
