Birthday is coming up, wondering if i should get it or not
 
What kind of games do you enjoy?
 
CSGO, Arma 3, L4D2, Squad, etc
Do you have any strategy game experience? If you just play shooters and haven't played many strategy games then I don't know if you would like it. Also, do you have interest in WWII?

You'd probably enjoy HoI4 then, though I'd probably wait for it to go on sale first.
 
Yarrrrrr moment, free test run
 
Just pirate it, its too expensive with all the dlcs, and those games are practically unplayable without the dlc

It's a type of game that either you'll love and put thousands of hour into vanilla and modded or you're going to get bored of in 5 minuets. I'd say get the base game and try it out and if you enjoy it then get the subscription so you can play the dlcs without paying like 200+ dollars. Or just pirate it if you'd prefer
 
100%, I have 4k hours on it and I still play it almost daily its modding community alone makes the game worth it.

wrong, the game is fine without the dlcs, if you really really want them only like 5 are actually important
 
game is fun but a lot of the tactics in it i find confusing mainly the naval side of things but it is a cool ass game forsure
 
Nigga and theyre expensive too no one wants to buy those, you disagreed with me just to agree
yes they cost like 30 bucks each, EA tier prices
 
Exactly youre better off just pirating it and getting all the dlc imo
i would just buy the game when its on sale and just pirate all the dlcs ngl
 
I have every DLC except for graveyard, I spent like 120 bucks on it all, I have over 400 hours total, and yes it is worth it, IF you have the money, I'd recommend pirating it first to try it out and get the hang of the mechanics before spending 120 bucks on a game you'll never touch, but you'll download alot of mods, and downloading mods for a pirated game just sucks ass.

You can side load the DLCs, you just have to re-download them for every update, I'd wait for the summer sale.

already got the game, but id rather do that if i wanted to play with the dlcs rather than buying them
 
Only get it if you’re interested in WW2 and grand strategy in general.

Otherwise you’re probably going to get bored quickly.
 
the game is literally just a map

if you don't have asperger's, you won't enjoy it
 
Buy it on g2a and use cream installer to pirate all the dlcs
 
pirate It but I recommend looking at other formats of strategy too if this is your first. Simpler real time strategy with rpg aspects line bannerlord or strategy shooters with third person control like call to arms or map strategy like hoi4
 
It's alright you'll have to put lots of hours into it tho
 
if you dont play HOI4 you are a fakecel
 
u pay for games?
 
yes you should get it nigga its a fun game.
 
Extremely boring map slop thats overly complicated and only made for low functioning spergs
 
It’s more Eastern Europe military slop for subhuman Slav Shitskins
 
did you buy it?

you should 100% pirate.

online de-syncs all the time.

the ai is terrible, the dlcs have bloated the game beyond belief, i have 500 hours in it, it is good but is not polished enough to be worth the full price.

Examples
one dlc added international arms market, cool in theory horrible in practice, the ai has zero idea how to use it and floods the market with useless shit that only adds more stuff to load and make the late game slower.

some dlc added plane, ship and tank designer, cool but once again the ai has zero idea how to use it and it is too easy to beat their idiotic designs, also the ai can have a top of the line jet fighter plane but still use the ww1 byplane sprite, fucking annoying and immersion breaking.

If you think HOI4 is "overly complicated" imagine if blud played Victoria 2/3 or EU5

I actually found victoria 3 to be alot easier than HOI4, i havent played eu5 yet but im really sure its not gonna be as bad as hoi4 IMO

I kinda understand Vic3 because once you learn about the building loop your gdp just skyrockets but EU5 genuinely has far more depth and has far more things for you to learn than HOI4. HOI is mostly about knowing what to build, doing your focuses, and pressing the execute battleplan button
It unironically is the most accessible Paradox gsg save for Crusader Kings

I guess i can take your word for it. i watched a couple of clips about the game and does look really in depth. The ui looks way more intimidating than hoi4, im ngl
 
yes but dont buy dlcs its a waste of cash, just install the dlc content from guys cracking them and also use CreamInstaller to activate.
