Hearts of Iron 3
« on: August 08, 2009, 01:30:32 PM »
Looks good, might get it. I have HoI2DD but its buggy and doesn't work half the time. But I enjoyed playing it while I could.

Anyone have reviews or anything on it?

Demo is available, but I haven't tried it yet.

Here's the link if anyone is interested:

Seems to have a lot of troubles. Forum is full of players that can't get it to work properly on their machines. Seems to be a resource hog. Major graphic lag for many machines.
I'd definitely wait some time until the biggest bugs are corrected with a patch.

Gameplay depth has been drastically increased (despite having many functions now relegated to AI), and many concepts that you learned from HOI2 are gone. You will have to relearn the game for a large part.

I will stick to modded HOI2 (not DD!) for some time, and get HoI3 after 1 or 2 patches probably.
