Hoi4 first impressions (from the videos)

[hypaspist]

it looks like a fun,quality Boardgame for children

judging by the videos ive seen it will be a complete disaster, unless players who were playing have no idea what they are doing (all of them,even the new german guy ),then i'd change my mind

All i have seen was something thats like : " hey iamma eat my pizza now and while i do that i ll attack soviet union and UK and sweden and click the hell out of it, while eating pizza" , if thats how this game will look and play it ll be a disaster for anyone older than 16.

again, i hope i am wrong

and no , hoi4 cant be an average game, it must be Epic, i do not accept 71/100 , it must live up to the standards of Eu4/ck2 or even surpass them

i am not even trolling. it looks like a disaster, and i am not even someone who usually think something is a disaster without previously playing it , i hate when people make premature conclusions about games. but this... this even got me. i truly hope i am totally wrong. if i am gona click fest from warsaw to moscow and have my armies move like retarded ants as someone said in the yt video comment section, then i say this is a bs game

Better, better. Chins up, you'll get there in time.

I'm sure ingame you can increase the difficulty quite a bit (as in HoI 3) so you need to play at a much slower pace and plan more to succeed.

 

[Lolkar]

Dont watch progress, or play it when released... Problem solved.

ok then i ll believe that the guys in the video had no idea what they were doing, or that the enemy ai/johan were totally incompetent. since i play Mp only, then there might be some good chances that the game will be awesome and live up to its expectations (expectations of ppl who played previous games )

I'm afraid you're wrong, Daniel (being a QA warrior) has probably clocked more hours in HoI 4 than anyone else in the whole wide universe. He definitely knows what he's doing. Didn't look like a disaster to me.

i even said. i hope i am wrong.

besides that i said Either this game is a bs and best clicker wins (like a moba game) or * they are incompetent and dont know what they are doing , therefore making this game look alot more simplified than it is

All the people that have replied to this stupid troll - if you just left it alone it would disappear without trace in an hour as it deserves. You dont HAVE to answer every sad post.

 

[kviiri]

Well they are playing constant speed multiplayer. That's a mode of gaming where clicking skills will do one good, duh.

remmeber tw;r2? looked so good on the videos,even the gameplay
am i the only one in this thread to realise how fragile the story of " hoi4 will be amazing" is ?

are you a fanboy, or actually THAT sure that the game will be awesome, based on your perception

I just wanted to throw this out there.. and you stole it from me. However I am a fanboy myself.. a huge.. fanboy.. of HoI4.

Some of us read dev diaries, listen to what the devs have to say, and understand the meaning of "work in progress". The beta phase is for testing, fixing bugs, and balancing the game.

The devs could have focused more on the game, and taken their time and explained what they were doing more. Several people on the forums have pointed this out. Don't know how much experience they have doing things like this, but they weren't quite on the level of profesional let's players. Which is to be expected, I guess, but yeah, they could have "slowed down" more.

Of course, the same thing could be said for HOI3. If I rushed through it, automating stuff and playing it on high speed, I'd give the impression that game, too, was superficial and simplistic.

that is old its almost a cliche. 9 times out of 10, game stays same as it was in the alpha or even worse (we are not talking about bugs). the base concept of the game is in question

Provided you're not trolling, I would like to see your source for this claim.
Hint, anecdotes aren't valid sources.

 

[hypaspist]

you are all possessed , i have no other explanation for this defending of the game. at least you should be on the fence

you are giving me definitions of alpha and beta which are definitions aimed at the people who do not know what a monitor or gpu is. Theory sounds nice but in reality it can be very very bad

just about every game released since 2010, sure there are exceptions.
core game mechanics usually are never drastically changed
