Question for the people who play Victoria 3.

Hey all! If you play Victoria 3, then I have a question for you.

I just want to know how enjoyable it is compared to Victoria 2. I've played that game for a few hundred hours but never Vic 3. So what I want to know is, compared to Vic 2, how fun is Victoria 3?

I've played both and tbh i prefer 3 by a long mile.

It's political system is far more realistic and flexible, and while there are some arguements for the Vic2 economy over 3, i still prefer 3.

I get why people have criticised the warfare system in 3, but lategame it is so much better not having to micromanage 100+ armies.
Vic 3 is fun, but some mechanics are unfinished. The game lacks a lot of polish. It feels a bit like an early access title right now. PDX had to rush it out the door so they are constantly making some pretty significant changes and addressing missing features.

I haven't played Vic 2 so I can't compare.
- What features do you feel are unfinished?
  
  Warfare and diplomacy is the big one, but basically every mechanic in the game feels like it needs some amount of work still.
I haven’t played the second one but the third is good but different
Vic3 is a great sandbox right now, but still feels a bit empty. With the warfare patch and some more specific flavors packs, it'll be top-notch I think.
I haven't made the 2 to 3 jump yet. I'm waiting for the war patch, which is coming decently quickly.
- When I compared the warfare system of the two, Vic 2 felt better to me. Having actual control over your armies and stuff. Don't know much about the war patch, that might make it more fun.
