Fintilgin posted:Given my opinion of previous HoI games, I couldn't disagree more strongly. Yeah, seriously. Hearts of Iron, in my opinion, doesn't do wargaming as good as other wargames, and doesn't do nation state game as fun as other nation state games. It's a kind of mashup game that doesn't seem to do anything too well. It reminds me of Sins of a Solar Empire which took the worst aspects of both genres it was trying to blend and turned it into something somehow worse than the sum of its parts. Maybe HOI4 will be different though. I'm willing to find out.

Wolfechu posted:So apparently I can get Rome gold for $2.50 right now. Worth it, if I've never played anything Paradox older than CK2, or is it just going to drive me crazy with an ancient ui? It's a bad game.

CK2 is a much more coherent whole compared to EU4. Besides, you can ignore educating your thirteenth kid; you can't ignore moving your armies around to siege every last province.

CK2 is probably the most believable strategy game out there because it's so organic. I wish EU4 was more like it and much less clumsy. It'd work well. The whole era should be about the emergence of the nation state and the crushing of the personal political organization of the middle ages.

I only enjoyed EU4 on release. BY the time the first expansion came out, I'd stopped playing mostly.

Cynic Jester posted:The big issue is the number of game systems and currencies ballooning, with many of them having poor to no interaction with other systems, often being little more than numbers going up independent of what is going on in the game. Innovativeness for instance just happens, with minimal input from the player and little effect on the gameplay. I agree with this. I have the same issues. It's a very bloated game. My feel is that the game mechanics don't seem to add up to a coherent whole like a CK2 does. I'll still most likely purchase a EUV--but I can only hope that it gets pared back and focused.

Doesn't EUIV have a genocide button for colonizing? At least, it did when I last played it.

I hope Vicky 3 changes the game mechanics each time you play so you can never know how the game works. It's more authentic to the time period.

I guess they’re all numb to it from their own terrible forums. Paradox fans are the worst. If you were a Paradox dev, and you had the forum you do, would you listen to fans?

I don't play CK2 to role play. Role playing has always bored me. I like CK2 because it feels like an organic representation of government with good reasons for things happening. I'm looking forward to Imperator for that reason.

The only time I ever had fun in a HOI game was HOI2 Doomsday with friends when we formed the super alliance of Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Romania, knocked out Germany in 1936, made Italy Yugoslavia's puppet the next year, started WW2 against the Soviets and fought them until everyone ran out of manpower and we all sat watching each other with no troops until 1946. Sadly you can't have fun in HOI games since HOI3 and the annoying alliance mechanics.

Redeye Flight posted:I'm also going to hold the unpopular opinion that I want Victoria 3 to actually be a game. Vicky 2 may be hilarious in how it captures the impenetrability of the era but it's not like it'll stop existing. I want to actually screw around in the most fascinating century of history without feeling completely unsatisfied with it all, and having zero effective control does that. Unpopular here, but thankfully what the devs will actually do.

I made the mistake of browsing the CKIII forum. This Deus Vult thing is like a magnet for morons whining about history and free speech. History buffs are the worst loving thing because they know the outlines of history without actually knowing how the field functions so they get pissy about these kinds of "controversies."

It's actually an unfun game. But relic is really good at making games with potentially interesting ideas that fall apart in implementation and are prone to enormous abuse. It will never cease to amuse me that in both CoH games, the Germans get stronger as the game goes on while the Allies get weaker.

I liked the first Dawn of War. It felt like a tabletop game. But these days, if I'm RTS'ing, I'm playing Age of Empires DE or Wargame Red Dragon.

I keep trying to get into Total War games, but I can't. The last one I enjoyed was Medieval 2. Since then, they just make me want to play a Paradox game. Particularly since I don't care much for the tactical battles.
