I'm looking forward to seeing AJ fail at this game. To my knowledge it's the first Pdox title he will ever play.

Not the best way to advertise such a complex title I would think. He being less of a grognard and more of a "action" oriented titles.
Don't get me wrong. I agree with most of his opinions on the game he has reviewed, but you don't just "jump in" to a Paradox game like HoI if you don't have some general experience with a prior incarnation. And you certainly don't cast any sort of judgment based on "frustration" or "overwhelming" user-interface that, by design, is geared toward managing the minutia of total-war.
I'd think it would take at least 2 or 3 full play-throughs to begin to have an understanding of the core game functionality, responsiveness, AI capability and replay ability. Therfore, it would likely take a dedicated reviewer several days (if not a week) of focused, analytical and objective play to offer the kind of testing and evaluation that I would consider actionable and valuable.
I look forward to laughing at his strategic ineptitude either way.
Btw...Paradox need any more testers/evaluators/forumite/unknown-reviewers/me's to take-on Hearts of Iron IV? Please consider me.

Nice, something to watch when I get home. Joe learning how to play the game should give some insight into how to play the game. When Daniel plays he is a good teacher in general but skips over things unintentionally.
Buuuut... Angry Joe? I know Angry Joe loves strategy games and paradox but I don't know about HOI. He's never covered CKII or EUIV with his review series. I don't know how much he enjoys grand strategy. Quill18 should definitely get to do some coverage.

Isn't AngryJoe just from Cali/BayArea? GDC isn't huge gaming con with all the youtubers et al going there to get some footage and it's mostly local and industry people who were there.
I'm pretty sure, and by pretty sure I mean absolutely sure, that by week before release all our favourite channels are going to be full of both Stellaris and HoI.
And tbh HoI got its fair share of coverage on the multiplayer with youtubers a while ago.

Interestingly, I saw a proper Hitler portrait. Does that mean only the German version is going to be censored in that respect?

Today in the WWW stream, they said that it was done like this to get past the German censorship board.
It;s Ironic. The German censors are real nazi's, man.
Edit: I'm not one to normally argue about arbitrary scoring of posts on a forum, but am I really the only one who finds it ironic that German censor board tries to bury Germany's past so much as to blatantly censor something that is simply a part of history? Meh.

Never heard of him, guess he'll have some "Angry" review after he get's smashed as Poland lol. Think this looks intimidating should review GG "War in the Pacific" - 1

Ehhh I think the presenter didn't explain the game well enough. I suppose they were under a time limit? The Stellaris preview is 40 min long while this is just 10 min long with the same scenario he saw a year ago (improved of course).
I honestly think maybe Johann or someone play with Angry Joe to teach him the game if he wants to review it
She did skip some important aspects in the game and worse I think he was overwhelmed by the 3X speed XD
Maybe the tutorials will be good enough alone? Hopefully. Couldn't hurt with Johann though :T

I was really happy to see the planes were gone in the Japan stream, but it looks like they are back here. I *really* hope they are togglable, because it's SUPER annoying to have them zooming all over the place, conveying no information and cluttering the map.

The planes weren't gone in the japan stream. The airforces involved in the fighting were FAR fewer in numbers so not many showed up on the map.
I really hope he'd get a much better explanation that the one he got or actually play through the tutorial. That one is missing tons of important information. You can't really show off this game in 10 minutes and get any kind of sense on what it involves.

The chick sounded like she was very uncomfortable during the entire video. New to interviews perhaps?

It's not the lawyers, who make laws
It's the Bundestag alone (Einspruchsgesetz) or the Bundestag and the Bundesrat (Zustimmungsgesetz). And last but not least our Bundespräsident, who signs that stuff - 6
Oh god angry Joe.
Edit: On reflection, he asks some good questions, and it's good to have the exposure of having HOI4 on his Channel.

What Angry Joe is some guy who plays strategy games? And he doesn't know what Cede is?
I watched it for about 1 minute before deciding the guy is a total idiot and turned it off.

I lost interest when it became clear he had no idea what Danzig was... hopefully we see some videos from reputable reviewers soon.
