I think Hearts of Iron 3 was a great game. One of Paradox best games.
Now gib me HoI 4 for free, maybe. Because i was so kind and said i liked HoI3.

Pre-ordering to support Paradox, and because I have faith in Paradox's quality control after Crusader Kings II and EUIV.
And yet far from perfect at release. I still recommend the same thing I recommended 7 years ago - wait until patch 1.5 to start playing, but buy earlier to support them.
they should add a 10% discount if you own HOI3 and a 25% discount if you own For the Motherland.
I have played EUIV almost from release and there was no game breaker. Little things here and there? Yeah, sure, stats and keeping things fair for sure, but nothing that made the game unplayeable. I cannot say the same from HoI 3 when it was released, and some of the issues are too big to be redesigned as is the case with supplies.Technically it's a marketing/sales call, but it seems unlikely.
Personally, I hope to make HoI IV pretty good game on release, and I think CK2 and EUIV were in good shape when they came out. If you disagree they were in good shape or have specific doubts about HoI, wait for reviews/video LPs/Demos closer to release and judge for yourself.
I just hope there's no Day 1 DLC. I'd like to not have to boycott this game.
I'm not sure I'm going to buy HoI4 preorder. I felt pretty burned with HoI3, to be honest.
You know, I didn't work for Paradox when HoI3 came out, I bought it on release too. So the last thing I want is other people having that experience again :s
I thoroughly enjoyed HOI 3. So, of course, I'll be here when HOI 4 comes out.
I did not know that, and my apologies for blaming you for it. It was not fair or decent of me.You know, I didn't work for Paradox when HoI3 came out, I bought it on release too. So the last thing I want is other people having that experience again :s
And now you receive a 100% discount on HoI4? That's just unfair!

It is good - in general as well, not just this one case - to know that some of the PDS devs were users who have the same experiences as we have. Not only does that make you look like regular human beings, it's also reassuring that you will do what you can to avoid those past mistakes.
I am just sayin in this thread that Hoi3 when relaesed was an alpha version, semper fi was a beta, with for the motherland, the game was finally playable !
So I am really talkin to Paradox team : Don't to the same bullshit buisness plan with Hoi 4, am serious, even if hoi 3 is now good, but still HALF-DONE, i won't spend money and wait for several years this time.
Nowaday there are too many games that are released half-done, but they get fixed with FREE patches. Here you just named some patches "semper fi" 'FTM" and made us pay ! To get a playable game ! That's not normal ! dont do the same shit with hoi 4 ! I am really pissed-off about that.
Proutix... pls tell... WHAT is HALF-DONE in HoI 3? Why do you think HoI 3 is HALF-DONE?
and.. i only see you registered the collection and not Vanilla, FTM and TFH... but you talk like you played it since the release... can you explain that?
That's actually a neat thing about our new DLC model: Back when HoI3 came out Paradox could only budget for 3 patches per release, because you have to be making something you can earn money from to stay in business. HoI3 actually got a 4th patch just because it really needed it, above the budgeted 3. After that, it could not be worked on more unless there was a salable product attached, like Semper Fi, and then only people who bought SF got the benefit of the work put into it. That's all changed now, for newer games like CK2/EU4/HoI4 we can continue working on the base game for its budgeted patching time, plus as long as people are buying DLC - it's all one game rather than a set of discrete versions.
Oh me, me!Proutix... pls tell... WHAT is HALF-DONE in HoI 3? Why do you think HoI 3 is HALF-DONE?
