Crusader Kings II's gameplay and replayability is far superior than the other candidates. I've put close to 300 hours into it so far.

@Kevin-V @endorbr Sounds like a lot of whining to me.

The character customization in this game was second to none and set a new standard for MMOs. However, the rest of the content was mediocre at best, but still the game was successful and lasted a long time for an MMO standard. Sad to hear Paragon Studios is being shut down, but that is how the gaming industry works and the employees know this; most of them will find work on bigger and better projects if they haven't done so already.

Way to go gamespot, reporting on some random analyst's speculation like it's news. Now you have half your readers spreading baseless rumors that TESO will eventually be free to play. Find some real sources to report on.

Big fan of Diablo series, but the more I hear about Diablo III, the more I want to delay my purchase.
