So, yes, the general topic of a thread might still be relevant. So any replies to that particular reply would be moot. it was written short time after release of Stellaris), so the "current state" then and now are completely different. I would assume most people doing that would not see or realise that the post is almost 2 years old (i.e. google), reads the thread and its (old) replies and thinks she has something to contribute she'll most likely do so and won't look at the posting dates of the individual replies.įor example I could now quote reply #3 which is saying something about "Stellaris in its current state". Now, if someone comes here from the outside (e.g.

The moment confirmed the "I know this is an old thread" box everyone else was free to reply on the thread again without this prompt. According to my experience this results however in more confusion than anything else.
Yes, thread topics could still be relevant even after months (or even years) without new replies. However most forums I visited indeed auto-lock threads without replies for x time. So because the forums doesnt automatically lock those threads, and because the forum interface actually has a reminder that it probably isn't a good idea to revive an old discussion, that would seem to imply that there are cases where necro is warranted, like a thread with a relatively general search term that comes up as the top link in google for see your point and I partly agree. Well if it's going to be no necro tolerance, then wouldn't it just be better to automatically lock those threads instead of having to see necro threads all the time (okay maybe not ALL the time, but they creep up often enough)? The forum already has a big box saying "this is a very old thread you probably don't want to post in it". Personally I sometimes see the necro rule as overdone, where there could be a very valid reason to revive an old discussion instead of starting a new one, especially when the old thread contains very good information.
#EUROPA UNIVERSALIS 4 VS HEARTS OF IRON 4 PATCH#
In light of the game patch example, we can easily say that the comparisons discussed a year ago between the three games is now mostly out of date, but there are still core gameplay elements that could be considered relevant. However, in the case of this particular thread, which is the first link if you google "EUIV vs HOI4 vs Stellaris", should that reasoning still apply? Should someone really just start a new thread when google is already supplying a link to a source of information relevant to the discussion? Unfortunately they have deviated way too far from them with Hoi4.Ĭlick to expand.Often I've seen the necro rule enforced by something like "because of game patches old threads are likely irrelevant", in spite of the necro rule being under a no spamming preamble. Both games are trully amazing and probably the best games they have ever made. If you are on a budget pick everything up during the steam summer sale coming up. If you don't have CrusaderKings 2, I highly recommend getting all the major expansions, and if you have alot of disposable income, get everything. I have over 4k hours between CK2 and EU4. It has shockingly similar issues which you would think can't be possible in sequels, cause you'd want to believe people learn from mistakes but for some reason the Hearts of Iron QA teams never catch the same blatant red flags.
I almost want to liken this games release to hoi3's release. This game is absolutely awful and there are various features that are just poor design decisions and I do not see them carrying this franchise any further than maybe a few expansions for this title. I have 72 hours in Hoi4 and I wish more than anything I never went past the 2 hour mark so I could return it like you did. I highly recommend the Blorg streams also and Cknoor's MP stream which has a few devs secretly playing it. The asimov beta is being showcased every thursday and looks to solve alot of the staleness. It is however very fun early and midgame and they are addressing and have acknowledged these facts about the game. It gets boring after midgame and is hard to finish due to stale gameplay(like all clauswitz games). I can tell you exactly what its major flaw is and it comes close to your turn offs for a game. I'd recommend Stellaris to everyone I meet it is amazing. I have 437 hours played in Stellaris and all achievements.
