Ok, you guys may not seem so excited, but I've been since I started this thread several years ago.

I pre-ordered a game for the first time ever.  :D

Sad you chose this game to give up your virginity. :(
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Field Marshal edition pre-ordered  :cool:

I shall probably play the Soviet Union for my first game, it is usually pretty forgiving when one is cocking things up.

To preorder or not to preorder, that's the question. If this is a turd, I would be annoyed.

So the Let's Plays must look pretty good if people are preordering after the HoI 3 debacle?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I think Pdox is going out of its way to NOT make HOI III, so we'll see.

HOI 3 scared me off enough to not preorder.  But if people report back that it is good then I will get it.

I've looked into a handful of Let's Plays and still can't say whether this is a good or not. I loved HoI2, so I would like this to be good.

Anyone watching quill18's series?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiqAAGj79hc&list=PLs3acGYgI1-stmmaOdyLR1FS1hvUIflCL

I watched the first three.

Not sure what to think. Seems like they definately went the other way of HOIIII by removing as much micro management as possible, but it almost seems a bit arcady to me now. Seems like you don't even need transport ships anymore.

On the forum there's much fear of a really weak AI being discussed. Seems like most you tubers are able to win on first go. I'm downloading tomorrow, we shall see.

The AI does look weak. On the other hand it will probably get stronger as time passes and may not be so weak if one avoids gamey exploits.
