Crusader Kings 3 Review - IGN

From IGN: "Crusader Kings 3 is a superb strategy game, a great RPG, and a master class in how to take the best parts of existing systems and make them deeper and better. I have thousands of hours in the previous game, and I expect to spend at least that many in this third installment. All of the engrossingly flawed characters and stories of love, war, triumph, and loss that have already dynamically emerged from my playthroughs feel like just the beginning of something legendary. In fact, if I had to pick only one game to play for the rest of my life, the decision wouldn’t be that difficult. A new king of historical strategy has been crowned. Long live the king."

Holy crap... a 10 for Crusader Kings 3.

Felix_Argyle_Catbro2102d ago

Yeah, from 1 person. Why do you people always flock to these reviews? They are always written by 1 (one) singular person. IGN, Gamespot, whatever have 1 reviewer for 1 game.

People who still pay any attention to game reviews are on a level of a child who needs random people to tell them what to like or not to like.

This person is not you. He doesn't share your worldviews or opinions. Paying any attention to his subjective opinion is just stupid.

MTVBG2102d ago

If paying attention to someone's subjective opinion is stupid, then you voicing your subjective opinion online has to take it to some new level of completely fucking moronic.

fiveby92102d ago

I'm not a huge fan of IGN. That said, I'd watch the review and if the person reviewing has some history and knowledge of the genre I might give their review more credence. This reviewer says they played CK3 for over 100 hours for the review. At least they played the game. Certainly better than throwing some random writer at a game which they have little interest in playing and expecting thoughtful commentary. It's one person's opinion sure but not necessarily an ill informed opinion.

starsi3602102d ago

Wow. Opinions of others are important to some. Just because you like to spend money to find out if something is good or bad, some of us like to have a heads up from others.

Also, why did you type "1 (one) singular person". Just curious as it seems like you could have just said "one person" and no-one would have misunderstood...

MTVBG2102d ago (Edited 2102d ago )

Their viewpoint is "if they don't share your worldview or opinions, don't pay attention". This is what their comment literally says, anyway.

So if we don't agree, why should we pay attention to them? Why do we even look at the comments section of anything? Why partake in any conversation ever? Why come to N4G?

The reasons why their comment is stupid are legion. And if you check their comment history you can see that they're basically a hot-take machine who recently made one of the most ratio'd comments I've ever seen on this site (and who, by the way, has spammed this same reply to several people in this comment section, which reeks not just of stupidity but some strange desperation or even mental disturbance).

If they're not some low-level troll then they either don't sleep at night, disturbed by the knowledge that everyone thinks they're that dumb, or they're *actually* that dumb and thus don't care.

In any one of these three cases, they themselves are on the level of a child on which they accuse others of being. It's embarrassing to witness, frankly.

Cant wait to play this tomorrow. Paradox, it seems you learned from your mistakes, *cough* Imperator: Rome *cough*

kopko2103d ago

If you have tried to play CK II but it was too hard for you to get into it, try this one, they made the game so much easier to get into. CK III is also available on PC game pass day 1 release.

Rocosaurus2103d ago

Coming to Gamepass (on PC) tomorrow - September 1st.

Ok..IGN Is too liberal with their scores. This game is as good as god of war and tlou? Common

JackBNimble2103d ago (Edited 2103d ago )

I agree ign are to liberal,God of war and Tlou2 didn't deserve the scores they received.

BlackTar1872103d ago

you're right GoW deserved at least a 12/10

IGN’s 10s has lost their value after GTA IV got one

PixelOmen2103d ago

Not that I agree with this score, I haven't played the game, but that's not how the scores work at all.

KwietStorm_BLM2103d ago

I don't get how people still make this inaccurate interpretation of review scores. You do understand that a Ferrari Enzo and a Honda Civic coupe can both be a '10' right? Even though they are both cars, they both excel at what they do in totally different ways and in completely different classes of vehicle. A great horror movie doesn't mean it's as "good" as a great social documentary just because they both have the same score on metacritic. It just means they both accomplished what they set out to do with a high level of quality. At the end of the day, it's just a number. Get over it.

Skywalker3332103d ago

Its like comparing apples and burgers. Both are edible foods but comparing a single player action adventure with a hardcore strategy is just plain wrong.

Bladesfist2103d ago

I bet the people who enjoy these games will have fun playing this much longer than the people who have played and love god of war and TLOU. To each their own, I like both types of games.

NeoGamer2322103d ago (Edited 2103d ago )

Have you played the game?

If not, maybe you shouldn't judge it til you play it yourself. I am skeptical as well. But, I don't know how you can compare a strategy RPG to GoW or TLOU. That is about as apples to oranges as you can get.

I will look at other reviews and play it on GamePass.

Felix_Argyle_Catbro2102d ago

This is one person's opinion. Do you think there is a massive group of people writing reviews for one game? Lol.

I wanted to give 2 a try but was put off by the amount of expansions and content. I'm sure this will be no different over time, but what the reviews are saying is appealing to me.

Putnum2103d ago

I wanted to give 3 a try but was put off by the fact it's not coming to Australia for a pathetic reason.
