What get's you OUT of the mood to play HOI4?

[J_Master]

Everybody is hyped for this game, me to. I just saw something that completely got me out of the mood to play HOI4. So I was thinking, what makes this happen to you.
This is what got me out of the mood.

Having watched all the WWW, all of my issues thus far with HOI4 have been due to the mechanic, all of which will be fixed with mods as anally retentive people like me get irrate when you deploy 6 fresh divisions 600 km within 8 hours straight to the front.

IT"S JUST NOT LOGISTICALLY SOUND GODAMNIT.

Though maybe this will be looked at prior to release. Will have to wait and see. Apart from that nothing will get me down, it's looking great. Love the UI, the way equipment is handled and the A.I commanders amongst other things.

Ideologically speaking, I'm still unsure about how I feel about games that simulate war.

Which ideology prevents playing a game, even ones where tens of millions may die? I would much rather us as a species play many, many war games rather than actually clash in fighting.

I'm not one to get all emotional and such.... but that was beautiful.

Think of Winston instead who said something along the line of: Those who don´t know the past are condemned to repeat the pasts errors.
Or only those who know history can make the right decisions in our day for a better future.

Playing HoI gives people more knowledge about what happened in a way that school with it´s often boring methods sometimes fails to achieve. And knowing more about what happened means every player of HoI is better prepared to make the right decisions now (and to be wary of what policitianc try to sell him) so that we all have a future without WW 5.

The only thing that gets me out of the mood for HOI4. Is playing too much HOI4. Then I usually take a few months off and then go wild again.

I had a lot of family in the war, some who didn't come home, some who had things happen that we are not allowed to talk about on this forum. Doesn't really get me out of the mood for a game. If anything it makes me want to see how different I can make things go all the more. Sometimes even gets me more into wanting to play.

What?

What?

You said "ideologically speaking"
and he said basically, nonsense no ideologically prevents you from playing a game

HOI is no different than Chess, except way more advanced.

That's how I keep the hype levels under the sanity limit.

What I said is that I don't know how I feel about a videogame that simulates war.
Never mentioned the word 'prevent'.

I honestly don't see what's so strange about it.

Nothing.
Except maybe the day when my wife will give birth to my second child.

 

[Mannstien]

Eye's needing to close for sleep, anything else I just go back to BICE in HOI3 if 4 is not filling my cup. But I can't think of much else, it really is a different animal than HOI3 and BICE, it's the base game and as such is missing a few features

Spoiler: but

Then don't play it !

So many games exists without any links to war.
