Soviet Nostalgia - The Fire Rises HOI4

[@OttovonBiscuit]

Welcome back to the channel or welcome if its your first time, this video is not my standard! I usually talk, but i decided not to this time to let theatrics and heavy editing take the front seat. I'm curious on the feedback of the community, do they enjoy this style compared to my typical? Let me know down here in the comments, you'll hear my voice again in next weeks video! Thanks for coming, have a great day!

[@pomernguy1835]

Wow, I didn't expect this video to have no voiceover and yet be so amazing! The montage consisting of recorded gameplay, music and many different videos really worked out well. Plus, the narrative also does its wonders, as it really makes me feel that you're roleplaying as the CPRF with the goal of restoring the USSR and defeating all your enemies. Adding Lukashenko into the mix is both nice and funny, cuz he finally will be able to realize his dream of having the whole USSR's economy based solely on potatoes. Overall, this is a great video format and I enjoyed watching every second of this video. Can't wait for more videos to come, but until then, have a wonderful time!

[@OttovonBiscuit]

Thank you very much, Pomernguy, your comments are always lengthy and informative, you're easily the first fan I can say i remember the name of. I always look forward to your comments, can't wait to see you next week

[@pomernguy1835]

​@@OttovonBiscuitThat's great to hear! I was honestly surprised to see this video in a completely new format, but it worked very well, so I thought that this deserves a praise, since I feel that you put a lot of effort into making it. And indeed, I can't wait to see a new video next week!

[@Cascadia88]

I thought it was very good and greatly enjoyed it. If I was to give a critique it would be to probably cut a majority of the “breakyourownnews” parts and to keep it in the first person style. Having it in the collective first person was a super cool choice and I hope to see it in future videos, even with you talking (which I greatly enjoy)

[@OttovonBiscuit]

@@Cascadia88 I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'll see about working it into my style

[@pashauzan]

@@OttovonBiscuit I actually like the news part, it's creative and way different than others

[@OttovonBiscuit]

@pashauzan seems to be a mixed bag, thank you for your support, you're not the only one to say this, I suppose I just won't overuse it

[@dang124gaming]

This feels like the only “sane” route in the whole mod

[@OttovonBiscuit]

@@dang124gaming Maybe I made it feel sane, this is literally Totalitarian Socialism with Eurasian National Bolshevism mixed into it. I don't know if as far as paths go you'd consider it the most sane, you can get Navalny, you can get Medvedev and actually just have a normal Russian Republic. Granted this is about as "normal" as paths get, you have several different candidates you can get elected, Yuri Afonin can keep the presidency, Lukashenko of course, but Zhuganovs grandson can as well, not to mention the Rashkin path and the reformers.

[@SnakeWithHatXD]

I liked this format of video, but being 100% honest, I prefer the one where you talk and rage, like in the China video.

[@OttovonBiscuit]

@@SnakeWithHatXD to tell ya the truth, it seems you're of the popular opinion, and I'll take notes, there's no major HOItuber I met that rages like I do, granted, rage like that is pretty rare for me in HOI.. I'm usually pretty chill with losing. But only if I think it's fair. You could say TommyKay kinda rages but his rage is just sort of like "OH KOMM on ATLA *German words*" and mine literally knocked my mic off the table so

[@pomernguy1835]

​@OttovonBiscuit The thing with raging is that it's spontaneous and happens when a person gets very angry or annoyed at something. I don't recommend doing it often or doing it at all, because health is of upmost importance! Regarding TommyKay, I think that he's often getting frustrated when he reaches HOI4 late game and sunks himself into the sea of complaining, frustrating and cursing at anything and anyone. That's why the meme about Tommy (not finishing) his games exists, as it's pretty rare for him to finish his game, but it's great when be actually does that. He also says a lot of things that are simply stupid, such as when he said that he was in one random place in Poland and then said 'when we crossed the border (into Poland) it got instantly uglier'. It's a whining that achieves nothing and changes nothing, as I could very well say the same thing for Germany and any other country. To wrap it up, Tommy often makes irrational moves or comments and later gets angry about it, not realizing where he made a mistake until far later.

God TFR looks so fun, I wish it didn’t lag so much for me. Also a TNO USSR run with the 2WRW mod would be fun.

[@OttovonBiscuit]

@@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45 Try using less music mods if you use any, TFR is one of the better optimized ones in my experience, music mods tend to have a lot of bloat. For example, the TFR music mod that Deadrin made most of the music for, it's awesome and great but at the same time it's bigger than the actual mod itself in file size.

[@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45]

@@OttovonBiscuit So far I only use the TFR music mod and the TNO Ayden George mod. I might just turn off the TFR music mod and just use TNO music

[@OttovonBiscuit]

@@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45 other things you could try is using the performance map mods that change the look of the map to enhance performance, lowering graphics quality, changing the renderer from Direct X11 (or whatever you use) in the launcher, or even reinstalling

What is the name of this Rasputín version used in the video? By the way nice video edition

[@OttovonBiscuit]

It was a remix by Deadrin, part of the official The Fire Rises OST, called, I think it was Spectre of the Red Menace, I know I used two songs from the OST and it isn't Synthesization so see the other name in the end credits and it's that one!

[@chicharitojr1460]

@OttovonBiscuit thank you very much, brother.

[@OttovonBiscuit]

@chicharitojr1460 please, check out Deadrins other works as well, he's a personal friend of mine and a member of the mod team, he deserves way more attention than he has

[@chicharitojr1460]

@OttovonBiscuit I do. Thanks for the advice. Taking advantage of the fact that you are part of the devteam, if in the future you are interested in giving content to Mexico, could I suggest to radicalize the then president López Obrador.

[@OttovonBiscuit]

@chicharitojr1460 I don't know what our plans are for Mexico, I am just a writer, making events and focus descriptions, however I do occasionally get to put in input (more than my peers would like sometimes) I don't know much about Mexican politics today, but I do know that the massive cartel war is a definitive part of the Mexican story and I don't believe changes are going to be made to that element, but, given the situation you can likely expect that at the least the Federal government in Mexico City regardless of the leader is given some major emergency powers.
