I think people are making a bit much over nothing. In HOI3 (and HOI4 I bet) the AI will follow the historical path and it turns out pretty much like history. The only problems I have seen are that Japan conquers China too quickly. The only problem I could see would be multiplayer, but you can choose who you play with.

I am hoping that HOI4 is going to be as polished as Stellaris which is a big hit imho.

Saw Hearts of Iron 4 Cadets Edition (6/6/16 release date) on sale for $26.45 at the cdkeys.com site.  Digital download on Steam.

According to Paradox, if you're a cheapskate and buy the Cadet's Edition your soldier sprites will be replaced with Pokemon characters. Or so I've heard.

Man, I would give Gus's left nut for this to come out on Memorial Day instead of D-Day....

(Sorry Gus, just keeping with tradition   :) )

I thought he lost that for the Stellaris launch.

We'll have to sacrifice the right one instead :)
Insert witty comment here.

I'm tempted to buy the Cadet's Edition then update it when all things Hearts of Iron IV go on sale for 75% off. >:D
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

I think we're saving his right one for Civ VI.  Perhaps have to sacrifice something more on the centerline.

Count me in as being a cheapskate:)  I am sure eventually I will buy all the goodies, but can wait for all that stuff in a future sale....

I'm waiting to buy the game itself in a future sale.  I wonder whether Paradox has shot itself in the foot releasing so close to Stellaris.  I still think I'll be playing Stellaris months from now, and I only have time for one grand strategy at a time.  I can't be the only one.  As excited as I am for HoI4, there's just no point buying it right now.

Sadly, I am a compulsive buyer, whether I will fully play it any time soon:)  And since I know I will buy it eventually, might as well take advantage of the pre-order sales since I am guessing future sales likely won't happen in the next few months...but who knows.

When HOI4 comes out, I have no doubt it is going to clear everything else off my gaming plate for weeks.

Absolutely my most anticipated release in years.   O0

I really hope it is good for your health's sake.....you have created very high expectations so hoping it does not let you down:)

Yeah, I ordered the kiddies edition through Instant Gaming a while back. The series, for all its faults, has been my favorite WWII strategic wargame for years. Can't wait.

What do you mean? I merely expect HoI4 to be the most exciting, realistic strategic simulation of WW2 ever created -- in a word, perfect.

So yeah, my expectations are entirely tempered by reality and past experience.   ;)
