If I didn't already believe this game was real, I would have thought that last post was a joke post.

Awesome.

[PTTG??]

That's annother thing; you can't call up some foreign person and say "If you don't do it my way, your weather is going to be partly mushroom cloudy with 100% chance of nuclear radiation."

Oh, and the US was crippled by nation-wide protests about slightly decreased airline industry spending. It's sad.

Lol, I got Israel to do nice things for Palestine and the Pakistanis were happy to help me out. I did have to overthrow Israel to accomplish that, though, but apparently nobody minded

Well, Isreal isn't exactly known for having a long list of friends.

Well, Isreal isn't exactly known for having a long list of friends.

But that short list is a pretty good list when it comes to foreign affairs.

One of the things that annoy me is that I was able to attack and overthrow Pakistan without any problems, while in reality, Pakistan got nukes. If I attacked Pakistan, I would at the very least expect the Pakistani military to get rather angry at America and maybe retailate by letting the nukes fall in the hands of America's enemies.

And if the Israeli government secretly have a nuclear program, I would think they would nuke any nation that would attempt to overthrow Israel...even America.

Really, America isn't the only nuclear power out there.

Israeli nukes don't have the range to reach the US.

[Servant Corps]

Good point. And they can't smuggle them into the US either...

[mainiac]

Good point. And they can't smuggle them into the US either...

Not unless they were planning to nuke us long in advance.  This is why we need to hit them first, right now!

 It seem  likely that Geopolitical simulator 4 2019 edition will be released next week or shortly after.     Will it be worth it, even if full of bugs? 

[ollobrains]

as aways full of new features and hundreds f new bugs

[Persus13]

Man, if you had waited two months your necro would have exactly a decade.

So, I've never played any of these games before, and I'm wondering if I should:
1) Buy the newest version, so I have all the bells and whistles
OR
2) Buy the oldest version, so I can check this game out on the cheap.

Anyone have any feedback?

EDIT: Eh, maybe I'll just buy whatever is available on Steam.  Funny, I used to be hesitant to buy games on Steam, now I generally only like to buy them on Steam.  It makes it soo soo easy to manage my game library.  Don't have disc space?  Uninstall!  Then reinstall later when I want to play it again.  It's quick, easy, and organized!

I've played Masters of the World, and well, it gave me a VERY bad impression of the series. Constant (often gamebreaking) glitches, nonsensical features, forced CGI cutscenes, poor representations of the demographics (particularly politics, a few democratic nations with centre right parties are "left wing totalitarianism" for some reason IIRC) of countries.

It reminds me a ton of Real Lives. A game which markets its self on realism, while being highly unrealistic, and fun mostly for the meme factor. Once the initial awe and hilarity wears off, you can safely put it down and forget about it. I find myself continuously going back to Shadow President, as nothing else can scratch the modern geopolitical itch.

If broken geopolitical sims are your thing, try to get a non-steam copy of Superpower 2 and grab the multimod, as it fixes a ton of glitches. The Steam version is an objective downgrade in stability, AI and mod support. You can get much more mileage out of it than this.

Maybe I'll just stick with the highly realistic Tropico series...
