Probably not, the original BI didn't really interest me so I didn't actually play it until the Gold Editition came out. I don't seem to enjoy TW games where there are countries that have swathes...
That is a bit lame, why name the game after this iconic character only to have him be backseated to a scourge. It'd be like naming Medieval II: Total War, Richard: Total War, sure he's on the front...
Every time they say they've reworked the Warscape engine in a game, all they've done is make is perform worse. If this game runs like ass on release, it just goes to show how little CA is heeding...
It's great, I no longer have to maniacally push the "use the whip" button to magically make my swordsmen stronger :D. Special abilities are stupid, most of them made your soldiers dead tired after a...
Ha ha ha ha..ha...ha......ha.....this game didn't have strategy appeal to lose in the first place.
As much as I was frustrated with how different the pre-alpha footage and the release game looked, Shogun 2 is still a much superior game to Rome 2 and lied alot less.
After dumping another 30 hours into the game, I've decided that no Rome 2 is not worth buying. I've proceeded on putting the following down on recommending Total War titles:
"All Total War games...
It's not good to cater to the lowest common denominator while also alienating your main customer base. And who the hell are we fooling here, no idiotic person is going to try and run Rome 2 on a...
More complicated than that, engine itself is built around a 32-bit process. The Empire Warscape engine may have been introduced to us in 2009, but it was probably in development around 2006 or so,...
They've also changed the look of Foot Companions and it sucks. They used to wear just a a tunic and black leather armor but now they've made them wear white trimmings as well. Don't look as badass...
They raise them but they don't just drop out of hoplite wall as hoplites do. Also if you order hoplites to attack the enemy and have them run, they will just break formation and charge. Pikemen...
So you want to excuse them for completely breaking their Warscape engine 3 times out of 4 games in 6 years? Seriously? The engine is mature, it should be good now, but it isn't. And frankly, it is...
This, exactly. I would understand if CA's path of development just messed up and they unknowingly created a "meh" experience, but I am under the impression that CA KNEW they were creating a "meh"...
I'm ashamed of CA, I knew there was going to be an expansion coming, but not so soon, let alone a standalone one. And for that shame I will not be grabbing this unless its off 75% during Christmas,...
Just because we're "butt-hurt" doesn't mean that we shouldn't complain about it or just don't buy future games. The fact that people still have the energy to keep complaining about this game rather...
The game is boring, I think from now on, I will not consider this a Total War game. CA has seem to have forgotten what made them great, what made the first Rome and Medieval II so great. They were...
I set this down after about 25 hours, one of the lowest gameplay times since Napoleon for me (which was only 13 hours since I was also very busy around release). TW games have always been absorbing...
Dumbing down is not the issue, its that the complexity they have added to the game is a fake complexity. It doesn't force you to choose, it just looks like it forces you to choose. In Shogun 2,...
You can't compare Total War to Skyrim. TW of this day and age have numerous parts that are hard-coded in the engine and can't be changed, and until a little while ago, we had zero modding tools to...
Thats not how it works. When game budgets go up by 40%, frankly, very little of that extra budget goes towards actually making the game. Blops 2 was a 30 million dollar budget game, but very little...
I want the ability to build infrastructure to come back. I think it would be cool if we expanded cities by ordering new walls to be built, and it would take many turns like it would for upgrading...
I'm happy, but I'm not happy playing Rome 2. Rome 2 introduced some really nice things. The army system is great, the physically growing cities is also a very nice feature, and overall I think Rome...
I remember this exact statement about Shogun 2, people complained about how there were Napoleon files in Shogun 2, and blamed that for its massive size.
In terms of sheer numbers, Rome 2 will surely just cream everything. I mean a basic unit of Hastati has way more armor in Rome 2 than even Praetorian Guard did in RTW. Not that we can compare the...
bait and switch fraud, overcharging, class action lawsuit. What is up with the community here, why did it become so volatile that they would sue over a game being not so great.
The first part of your statement was actually said shortly before the Assembly Kit came out. When the Assembly Kit came out, we realized that we can actually do alot of things with Shogun 2. The...
Can I just say...I told you so?
Too bad alot of people did not listen and did not join me in my rampage against Warscape.
Going independent is a very dangerous way of going about things. It can cause numerous problems, like trademark issues, that can eat into the finances even more than just developing a game would. ...
Its not even that, the problem is that each unit has to stop and do the killing animation before being able to move on. But at the same time, the cavalry are running, meaning that the units start...
Yeah, I think I'll downgrade back to 1.0, Gold version does not for some reason include the changes in unit depth.
Warscape engine problem, 1v1 restriction. Nothing we can do about except tell CA that the Warscape SUCKS.
Its happened in every single Warscape game to date. It's just much more prominent in Shogun 2 and Rome 2.
There is no fix to CPU bottlenecking in this case, especially when the game is still 32bit...
I also hopes this means that modders can write scripts for the game. I remember there were a lot of mods that used the console to do alot of the realism spending.
We're not saying that Shogun 2 being too colorful was bad, we're saying that popping, bright colors does not fit a game about Rome and that it is useless to compare because Shogun 2 portrayed the...
CPU bottleneck. It affects everyone, and your PC is not necessarily "good", its just okay. Patch 2 beta might help though.
I take the stance that the aesthetics of Rome 2 was something that CA knew that we wanted to see, but they were a bit misguided into how they would execute it. Most of us loved Medieval II because...
Shogun 2 was 50 dollars at release. Rome 2 is 60. I don't see why its so alarming that this game is the normal price for a high-budget game.
It does seem like a console, but I think all the commands have been changed, since I typed in toggle_fow and it didn't work.
Yes, the world watches as people like you and laughs at us. What a disgrace.
btw, if you didn't :wub:ing figure out, it does play that way. It's not like we were given an FPS instead of a TW...
There is a bug that has come about with the Patch 2 Beta. Since Patch 2 also reduces movement speed, it makes it so that when you order units to run, they just walk faster (and not much faster)...
