EU2 on the other hand... that game had me swooning from the very first date. It took me five aborted attempts before I finally got into Doomsday, it was definitely not love at first sight.

I own EU2, HoI:Doomsday and Crusader Kings. All installed and ready to go, but I've only poked around with the first two. These should be games that I devour, yet for some reason I can't get into them yet. Too much RTS in my blood? Wow is me! I own EU2, HoI:Doomsday and Crusader Kings.

It's still installed, but after two campaigns I just don't have that much interest left in it. It's not that it has much to do withoverexposure to EU2 though, I'd say EU3 is lacking in quality. There are improvements but other parts of the interface are even worse than EU2 and it all comes of as a half-measure. The graphics arguably look worse in 3d than they ever did in 2d, and practically every game throws the same challenges at you no matter the nation (well, European nation). I'm not regretting my purchase but I didn't get nearly as much enjoyment out of it as I thought. Hopefully they'll do it better with their next game. I haven’t played much EU3 either.
