HOI3 isn't a bad game, it has its flaws but its not terrible. Its not really my style however since I prefer a less war based game.
I remember having this massive bloody war with the US over India,(As Germany) Neither side gave an inch willingly and thousands upon thousands of soldiers died for that subcontinent. It was one of the most epic wars I've ever seen in a game. It started out as a expeditionary force sent east to support my Asian Axis who were starting to lose ground to American support. (The Axis had originally taken almost the entire sub-continent but the American intervention nearly reclaimed the entire continent) Soon this expeditionary force ballooned into an entire army and the war begain in fullest with planes flying, bombs dropping, tanks rolling. Eve the occasional naval battle (which I tended to fail at due to the lackluster German Navy) Eventually I did manage to best the allies pushing them further and further into the middle east.
The thing about Paradox games is that, while they aren't the best at release, Once they get established, patched, an expansion or two and so on they really start to shine.
Add in the excellent modding community (Who Paradox has been known to hire from) and you have a bunch of games that can last you forever.
How ever if you are the type of gamer who loves Call of Duty and speaks in 1337 sp3@k, then you might not enjoy Paradox games.
