OK, I've said that I won't buy any more Paradox games, but I'm finding myself tempted by CKII.  However, of the Paradox games I don't have, would that be my best bet?

Discussion of reasons for your vote highly encouraged.

Hands down CKII is best. And i have all three of them so i speak from first hand experience.

Agreed on CKII.

HOI3 isn't terrible anymore but it just too much.  Of everything.  Except fun.

I have heard some decent things about Vicky2 with the most recent expansion.  Nothing to compare to CKII though.

Paradox screwed up and made CKII fun and playable.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Pretty lopsided poll. :D

Crusader Kings II is their best since EUII, possibly their best ever.  It's also the most accessible.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'll go against the tide and say CKII is the best of the three.

It must be Languish's first. Usually we have different views on everything. :D

HOI3 is an unplayable mess.

Both Victoria 2 and CK2 are good. Depends what you're into really. Hard to judge. CK maybe.

I had a very good game in Hoi3 when I played it in march (before the most recent expansion came out). But then I didn't try to run everything :p

Yep.  Everything works the way it is supposed to.  It just isn't that much fun.

HOI III can be a lot of fun if you focus on only a few things rather than try to micromanage everything.  There are some decent mods as well.  I wouldn't claim it was better than CK II though.

CK II.  I haven't played Victoria II yet but this new expansion has me wanting to give it a try.
