V2 is a really cool game. I only have about 80 hours with it, though. The population mechanics and some of the ideas are really cool, but it's dated now and is well in need of a new sequel to take it out of the box, brush it off, and give it a shiny new coat of paint.
Gotta be honest, if the eventual Vicky 3 gets the same treatment that HoI4 did, I'll probably just stick with Vicky 2
Which HoI game do you think was best? I have HoI 2 and HoI 4, I can't really play 2 though because it kept crashing, also I think some of the diplomatic options and AI weren't as good as in 4.
Definitely HoI3. It has a 90 degree learning curve, but once you get over it I'd say it's my second favorite PDS game after Vicky 2. ---
