Sometimes i get the feeling, that the discussion goes into a pro and contra early release sort of thing^^. But on the other hand i think that the "pro" and "contra" sides are talking into different directions :D.
One one side we have the guys complaining about the endless seeming development. On the other side the ones who defend the paradox decicion to take their time and make the game better. But one must not forget, that the "complainers" if u can call them that way...are mostly not complaining about taking time to create a good game but simply about the early announcement and the delays. If we were not told that the game was to come out in 2015 maybe, then there would be less complainments.
So the "mistake", if u want to call it that way, was to tell people too early about HOI4 and give them hopes for an soon arrival of this. Do we really have to discuss this release topics over and over again :D? They are releasing the game soon or later. In the remaining time left go play sth else, waiting without doing anything seems endless ;D one should know that

Things like this are pretty interesting, kinda shows the separation between the marketing and development...the advertising was ramping up for a while, think the "http://www.heartsofiron4.com/" "choose your side and sign up campaign". Marketing seemed to be expecting a SOON(tm) release from the devs for a while there, 2014-mid 2015...

Obviously that all petered out and got put on hold because of the delays. Once we see Paradox start to ratchet up the advertising, press coverage, and marketing, we can expect a release, or, at minimum, a release announcement soon thereafter... They aren't going to release HOI4 without a TON of fanfare and hype building.

Until we see that...I guess I'll just be reading and playing Stellaris (which is apparently right around the corner; see: the slowly building press hype for Stellaris...)

Stellaris is gonna be 'shutdown the house and game all week' mode for me.

think i'll buy it around june 2017 or 2018

worked fine for hoi3 too , i have all the dlc's+ the game cheaper than the original release - and a way more complete game that way anyway. .still enjoying it after 750+ hrs in just a few months time -bug- and crashfree game, except for the wierd hungarian troop skins for which there was a fix easy to find

some people are getting too old to wait for games and keep hyped up :p we just pick it up later and do something else fun meanwhile (while we still can ^^)

i'll be in the sun this summer, ty PI :)

Q1 has run its course but I do believe the game will be released in april-may

People always talk about wanting to wait for a "good" game....so rather then playing a buggy game they prefer to sit here for 2 years making pointless discussions about a game we know little about? I dont see it. We know the game will have issues when it comes out, they always do. There will be patches and updates yada yada yada. And thats when they were working with the same essential game, now its a totally new game, expect it to have issues. Either way its not worth waiting two years to have the game "better", two years means it better be mindblowing. We are gamers, we play games, good, bad, buggy or otherwise. Hell they could have updated HOI3 for us while we waited...

Having lived through the debacle of Total War Rome II I could not disagree with you more. Personally, I am quite willing to wait - so long as, when the game is finally released, it's not broken.

It does appear that the release is only a few months away now though. We've waited this long. Another few months shouldn't be that terrible surely?

I expect a release date very soon, no reason for them not to announce now that they are well into Beta and it must be a well tested game by now if not the most tested game in their history. If all they are doing is tinkering with the AI they could easily give a release date.

We'll see. If they dont release by June the Swedish summer holiday will add a month delay to the release. With that being said im sure they are working hard to try and get it out before then.
