Total war more polished than than Paradox? It's like you've never even played a Total War game at release, Medieval II and Empire were broken when they came out.

When it comes to low quility pc games, Paradox are the worst offenders. I'm not saying all the games they put out are terrible. Some are very good and have that niche pc appeal.
However, saying they are as polished as Total War (or most games) is folly. With Total War I can take it from practically any angle to use that argument. Even something like Empire, part of the reason it had problems was due to the sheer scope of it practically 0 AAA games can touch to this day. With Paradox little or large, they tend to just get banged out the door. It's more quantity than quility.
Alot of the games sell good as well. Magicka sold something like, what was it? 1-2 million units and 4 million DLC sales? Thats more than Shogun 2. Yet the game has nowere near the polish or budget.
Imo it didn't deserve those sales at all given the state it was in.
When its a bad console port, pc gamers complain and throw hissy fits. When it's a low quility pc game in an even worse state, they totally ignore it because it's a pc game basically.
Bad mentality.
The problem is you probably shouldn't be playing high quality console titles on a pc. You should use your pc to write documents or play Bejewled but leave the gaming to real gaming machines. Listen I'm not saying you can't play games on a pc - I played Minesweeper when I was younger too. You should just leave great atmospheric games and stop ruining them by trying to recreate the magic on a pc. Total War is a great example, it is like an excell spreadsheat with animated moving tamagotchis on your screen.
