Even when Hearts of Iron 4 comes out, I will continue to play Darkest Hour.

HOI4 strays too far from historical accuracy to be enjoyable imho, because it ruins immersion.

Good gameplay shouldn't come at the sacrifice of accuracy. Good historical accuracy inherently brings good gameplay.
I am getting quite a lot of disagrees on my post. Which is fine :D if you don't like darkest hour, then in my opinion you are missing out on a fantastic game. I personally don't mind railroading, and I love the flavor, depth, and historical accuracy that DH provides, but I understand that not all people might. If you want to disagree with my post, go ahead :) but darkest hour will always be my favorite game.

-My daily X2 on world of tanks. Stopped World of warship, waiting for the german BB to be in.
-I tried stellaris but this game is unfinished so I put it on halt until further developments.
- And from tomorrow until HOI IV release it will be Total War Warhammer.

Currently playing HOI3 (hoping to actually finish a campaign with Italy this time around), EU3* (currently up to around 1530 AD in a Hungary campaign - preparing to Westernize), and an X3:Terran Conflict campaign (playing Paranid - Phased Shockwave Generators rule.....except when collateral damage is a problem). Occasionally switching to Close Combat II and III, Mount & Blade (the original, plus a post-Roman Britain conversion mod: Eagle and the Wolves), as well as still playing a bit of the old Morrowind RPG (modified to the gills) after all these years.

[ * - Strangest EU3 campaign I've ever seen: France imploded and is now a OPM while Burgundy was down to 2 provinces and back up to three, Syria occupied and somehow annexed ALL of Mamluks (that's a LOT of provinces) in one single shot, and Austria, Bavaria, and Milan are vying closely for supremacy in the HRE after Austria crippled itself in two Looooong wars against France (10+ years each). Papal State owns all of Italy except for 2 OPMs in the north. Oh, and Portugal owns all but 2-3 provinces of Spain, plus a wide swath of North Africa. I'm running Hungary with a PU on Lithuania, each of which cover 30+ provinces, and made my king a general around 1490 in hopes of inheriting Lithuania, but he's still kicking (and kicking @$$ as a general) in 1530. My current heir is over 70, which gives some hint as to how old the king is. ]

Doom! As someone else said on here, heavy metal music and slaughterfest. I've already beat it and started it again. Mix a great campaign with a reasonably deep map making system (snapmap) also the multiplayer game, it's a helluva lot of fun. Get some madness in playing that then be ready for HOI4. Been playing some Stellaris, I like it a lot but like all other pdx games except HOI series I just get somewhat bored. Hoi has the most interesting period. Just my opinion..... don't get me wrong, all of their games are great, but just don't have the staying power like HOI.
