So it's pretty self-explanatory. What is the worst idea you can come up with for HOI 4? Always-on internet connection required? Anything EA does in general to their games?
Here's a few really dumb ones:
- DLC that allows you to instantly win the game on 1-1-1936 if you pay $20.
- Social media connectivity that shows a popup every time you fight a battle or execute a decision or event that asks you if you want to share your accomplishment on Facebook, Twitter, and any number of other social media sites.
- Putting ads in that pop up during gameplay or take up tons of space on screen. "When you're fighting battles to decide the fate of the world, don't forget to drink Mountain Dew to keep yourself hydrated!"
- DLC to unlock buildable UFOs and allow you to call in your alien allies to send fleets from their planets for an insta-win.
- Create national modifiers that can't be modded based off dumb national stereotypes. Russians drink too much vodka and get a permanent org penalty, British bad teeth causes healthcare costs to rise and money reserves suffer, Americans can't figure out what country they're in and have a higher attack delay, etc.
- Putting a trojan into the Steam download... just to make sure your antivirus is working.
- Encourage young kids to buy the game by turning all sprites into teddy bears.
- Switch HOI 4 from grand strategy into a 2D sidescrolling fight game where national leaders throw down for world supremacy in order to get mainstream appeal and media buzz.
That's all I've got. Have fun coming up with your own bad ideas, or just make fun of mine.
