Making History does but it is very sandbox.

+1...very true!  And yet being turn based it plays quite differently.

Making History is turn based?

Yep...the original release took so long to shake out all the bugs, I have never really gone back....not sure how it plays nowadays.

Jesus...I must be getting old, or just losing my mind. I totally didn't remember this game being turn based...at one point I played this game a lot. But I struggled to get back into it again subsequently.

Always seemed to have potential, not sure why I couldn't wrap my brain around it...back in those days, the fact it was turned based was always the main comparison point between it and HOI...turn vs realtime, each set of fans had their own views....

HOI 4 appears to be the most mod-friendly version so far and I'm looking forward to seeing what modders come up with. It's very exciting because the quality and historical accuracy that some modders achieve is excellent and this appears to be by far the most accessible and playable version of HOI yet.

I've watched most of the better Let's Play videos and I'm stoked. Just over 24 hours left until release.

Yes.....The WW1 version, The Great War, has one week turns. Not sure about WW2 but I suspect it is the same.

I just purchased HoI4 for $29.99 at green man gaming using the code of JUNE25. That's a 25% coupon.

I think HOI IV will be good and stable when it releases later today, but I've decided to hold off for the moment.  I'm liking Stellaris, 7DaystoDie and EU IV right now and work has me traveling a lot, so not going to put money into a game that I'm not going to have time for. 

I will be following this thread though.

This is where I am as well with HOI IV. And it's summer so not much inside time.  :)

Midday and still no key  :(

Mind you - I am actually at work so can't do anything with the key anyway!  >:D

Stellaris released about noon time in the eastern US.  I would expect the same for HOI IV.
