Paradox Interactive Thread: V3 'Check out my sick Germany blob' - Games

Well I use the same username there.

I really don't pay attention to usernames at all, here or there.

PSA: The game will release at 18:00 CEST tonight.

It does. I was hoping for a 15:00 release. I thought EU4 released at 15:00.

There is no official launch time From the Stream Chat (including typos) [QUOTE]ParadoxInteractive: Just fyi, there is no official release time, we'll launch this evenign and stream until the game is laucnhed.[/QUOTE] Pre-release stream starting in 20 minutes [url]https://www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive[/url]

It'd be nice if they allowed pre-loading HoI, rather than us just waiting on the release. I don't want to come back from my faculty in the evening and have to wait for a download before playing the game.

I thought HoI4 was going to be a lot easier to get into and it still looks complicated. Seesh

[QUOTE=TheTalon;50464456]I thought HoI4 was going to be a lot easier to get into and it still looks complicated. Seesh[/QUOTE] Oh, trust me, I spent a whole lot of time in HoI 3 and I still don't understand like a third of the things happening ingame. I've spent maybe two hours just reading and watching videos about HoI 4 and I feel like I understand HoI 4 far better. Maybe the air combat and naval combat mechanics might be a bit iffy for me at first, but I really do think that HoI 4 is a [I]lot[/I] easier to get into.

So I have no idea why they didn't do Pre-loading for HOI4. FYI, HOI4 is only around 1GB download, and unpacks into 2GB.

Here I was hoping for a afternoon release, to get some release day videos out.

That's actually pretty nice, since 1 GB for me translates to maybe a half-hour of downloading. That's entirely fine then, although preloading would still be preferable.

[QUOTE=G.I.U.L.I.O.;50464484]Oh, trust me, I spent a whole lot of time in HoI 3 and I still don't understand like a third of the things happening ingame.[/QUOTE] I have over 100 hours in HoI3 and I still have no idea how to play. :v:

[QUOTE=Freakie;50464719]I have over 100 hours in HoI3 and I still have no idea how to play. :v:[/QUOTE] I never noticed it but I've seemed to rack up 431 hours. I remember the early days of sending my MOT and ARM into mountains and never building an air force. Good times.

I don't think I'll ever be able to put HOI3 down completely even if I get HOI4. I have way too much fun trying stupidly ambitious shit.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;50464456]I thought HoI4 was going to be a lot easier to get into and it still looks complicated. Seesh[/QUOTE] After watching 10+ hours of HoI4 I feel like I understand much more than after playing HoI3 for almost 200 hours. But that's probably because I've been mostly watching videos explaining various aspects of the game.

its out, restart steam

The Neutral Party USA flag... Is the monarchist flag from V2? Wot.

Canada's naval tech tree appears to be a copy and paste of Britian's with some Canadian names. The Air and Tank trees are generic.

Damn, pre-ordered physical copy and it didn't got delivered today :(

amurica time best time unlocked at 11:00 AM for us

Is 2x sub still the best? Theres an astounding lack of naval commanders...

Holy crap the UI is even clunkier than it looks.

Does HoI4 have a demo? It looks fun, especially with lads, but I'm not sure if it would really be for me, and it is rather pricey at hte moment

[QUOTE=EuSKalduna;50465858]Does HoI4 have a demo?[/QUOTE] No. There excuse was Steam's refund service.

Whoever thought removing terrain view was a good idea should be hit.
