Too many changes?

[Sharp163]

Hello, everyone

From what I can tell, the game seems fantastic from the dev diaries and WWW videos my personal thanks go out to the Paradox team for their hard work and dedication.

However, I'm just a little concerned that there are too many changes being made, and the game will be unrealistic, or there will be parts of it that don't feel like a HOI game.

Thoughts?

It will definitely be different, but from the looks of it it still should be like HOI, just different. The production/pools of equipment, OOB, and battleplans being the largest changes. Not sure I like how the aircraft are arranged currently, but other than that it looks pretty good to me.

Well it's a video game, so it can't be a hundred percent realistic.
There are a few aspects of the game I don't like, but overall I think it will be a fantastic game.

There are a lot of changes, but I think it still has the feeling of a HOI game.

The supply system concerns me... The idea that there are no stockpiles, and vehicles have 100% of their oil upon creation. I have trust in paradox, but I'm just concerned that this is too different...

I'm sure it will be very fun and enjoyable

I'm also just worried that there will be a large number of exploits, due to the unconventional game logic...

Ahh, yes the oil in production thing. Agreed. I remember, I think it was Podcat said that there would be a small raw material supply so that losing ships to submarines or other things wouldn't make you lose production every other day. I'm not sure how, because I haven't see it but I guess it is, or will be in the game at some point.

Rather than post a vague provocative thread wouldn't it be better to explain what irks you and what would would do to fix it?

I guess it will always depend on what you want from the game.

For me I love changing history, not just winning the war or whatever, but making a Germany that is truely Anti-Communist or having Trotsky lead a new global revolution. So the NF's suit me where they break the game down for others.

Seeing that there is a big change from HOI2 to HOI3 it is hard to see what change in particular bothers you.

I understand that my matter at hand is very controversial, and I tried to word my post in the least provocative way possible I'm just a bit startled and uneasy by the large number of changes being made to the series.

Such as...

Such as...

The supply system, no stockpiles, new production methods, redesigned civil wars... Etc.

I have faith in paradox. They have produced many incredible games, and are very receptive for community feedback they're one of the, if not the most, consumer friendly company i know. I am confident that HOI4 will be an incredible game, and very enjoyable... But I'm just nervous it will be very different

 

[Peter Wass]

Well if it was the same, what would be the point?

I expected paradox to make changes over HOI3, but this new supply system without stockpiles seems like a bit much...

 

[Sharp163]

I apologize again for the wording of my original post; I tried to make it as non-provocative as possible but it seems I did a poor job.

As stated, I have full faith in paradox's ability, and I'm sure HOI4 will live up to all of our expectations.

I clearly have the unpopular opinion with my concerns, so I'll keep them to myself sorry to have wasted your time.

This thread can be safely ignored

It "Can" be different, but doesn't mean it always will..... and do you know what that means.
Finally some real replayability in a HOI game,wOOt

HOI4 adds more replay-ability. In the past HOI's replay value rested in you as the human doing something different. Now you have both human and AI who can cause things to change. It turns it more into a game without losing the simulation and historical elements as you seem to suggest.
