which game do you hype more? stellaris or hoi4?

[Duke Von Hannover]

Stellaris looks to be the best Space Grand Strategy Game ever made... HOI4 looks to be the best WW2 Grand Strategy Game ever made (The super indepth wargames aren't grand strategies) My personal hype rating for Stellaris is much greater than HOI4 as Blackice Hoi4 hasn't been announced yet

Serious? Or just joking?

Anyhow, I am following both, and will definitely buy both this year. It better be this year too. Glares at Johan and Podcat. If not, I will fly to Stockholm and wait for them in their lobby. Beer or fists, HOI IV will be coming out this year even if the damn thing is missing half it's code, and the other half doesn't work!

Jokes on you, and yes.. I barely know of the other game, Stellaris- though I have heard about it but it has yet not interested me ;p

Xcom 2

Hearts of Iron IV

Though Stellaris seems interesting.

Since HoI is the most different from all major Paradox games (and I finally really know something about all these tanks and planes variants, thanks War Thunder) while Stellaris can to some degree be described as EU in Space, and I notice I play way less EU and CK than some months ago, I'm looking forward to HoI more. Won't stop me from getting a couple hundred hours in Stellaris of course.

I'm a Hoir4'er

The Stellaris team, since announcement, have been putting out DDs weekly. This makes me suspect that Stellaris' development timeline is shorter than HoI4, which in contrast HoI4 only had monthly DDs for a long time. For a project with the scope of Stellaris I would imagine that development would take as long as a main franchise game, so perhaps Stellaris has been in the secret, unannounced stage of development for much longer than HoI4 was.

Besides announcing it only when it was more near completion, Stellaris should be easier to balance and search for bugs than the usual Paradox games. Because each player has a symmetrical start, and maps are random with each faction only starting very small. It's a different beast than going around through lots of countries, with even more states, deciding how many initial units/equipment each got, the industry start and potential of each state, while looking at historical values but also trying to go with some balance for the majors. While a Stellaris game should later on a match have the level of complexity PC paradox games have, it's simple start should make it easier on development than their other games.

Hoi4 all the way, I've been waiting far too long for it.

 

[Darksaber501st]

I'm equally slavishly following both. I've definitely been waiting for HOI4 longer, but Stellaris being a new IP and a very interesting concept definitely makes me want it just as badly.

 

[NapoleonComple]

Hyped for both. Stellaris seems like an awesome spacefaring sim which I haven't really gotten into yet, while HOI is... well, HOI.

 

[Red_warning]

Stellaris. I will most likely enjoy HoI4 but games with WWII theme can be found in abundance while space colonisation is still very niche even though sci-fi has become very fashionable as of late.

 

[CocoCincinnati]

I hype Stellaris more on Monday's and HOI4 more on Friday's.

 

[FieldMedic]

Stellaris, if only because it seems more likely to release some day

 

[Clos90]

Stellaris, the wait has been killing my hype for HOI IV, I'm going to get both eventually though.

 

[zukodark]

Stellaris, but I will buy HOI4, and play it a lot, probably. I have a friend who is more hyped for HOI4. I annoy him by reminding him of HOI4, he annoys me by reminding me of Stellaris. We are both far too hyped for our own good.

 

[Junkwisch]

Stellaris, I want to enslave every other races in the universe

 

[Sir Pellew]

I hype both equally. The tension for HOI is a bit higher, just because we all have waited so long for it now. But since I saw the first glimpses of Stellaris I was also pretty hyped (because I like Grand Strategy, 4x AND Paradox titles )

I'll get them both - no matter in which order they might be released. It just is not good for my marriage if they both get released too close together

 

[joe9594]

At this point I think a more pertinent question is whether people are excited about HOI4 or HL3.

 

[Juwatu]

Stellaris

 

[teamgene]

HOI4, but I plan to play both and once videos of Stellaris game play come out, it will be very close. I think I will love both as its not an either or for me. I will get both.
