Yes. Have you ever seen Steam sales?

becoming quite a sensitive topic for 'strong' opinions to clash, i think the topic was made for an understanding from two points of view about CA's latest adventure.

Lets actually make a useful thread out of it so CA if they are reading can maybe look on a small spectrum how fans are feeling pre-release of Rome 2.

Lets not get carried away with arguing about something that could be productive.

Don't spoil something which critically could be important for everyone to see, there could be someone new reading this all and maybe given to opportunity, have a better understanding of all those other riled up threads of heavy criticism and spiteful distaste to ETW and NTW on this forum.

Come on guys.

Hunchback/awkward pose units have already been confirmed by Jack Lusted. It's been several years now and they still don't fix that stupid animation? Under the pretext that it is a "battle pose"? Give me a break.

Probably because ca has shown again and again you don't believe their hype, because its 90% lies and half truths and that their games are usually very buggy on release. Shogun 2's mp is still broken, etw was unplayable. I'm not planning on buying this after finding shogun 2 so bad I quit PC gaming for the most part. I'm just here to watch the forums implode. Rome was an amazing game and only if this game looks like the most bug free complete game ever will i consider giving ca my money ever again.

Cant wait for the DLC fest either i remember when they made complete games. Praetorian will be DLC.

Thread cleaned up.

I will leave this open for a bit longer in case anybody has anything else to say (on topic) and can say it in an appropriate manner.

Ha! Naivety at its best.

People have a right to be cautiously negative regarding CA`s future work especially after past evidence with the propaganda that SEGA clearly orders CA to say. It`s also a good way for CA to test the wind for what they should or shouldn`t do.

We`ve told you this enough times, but you don`t seem to get it. And pictures of gorillas impresses no one except yourself.

I like Steam, nothing you say can change that

. Anyway Steam is not what this topic is about, tis about overly negative comments on things that people don't yet know about or things that cannot or will not be changed.

Being negative over silly things e.g.

What I find funny is people bashing CA and their games while on a forum based around their games. I personally enjoyed Empire total war, I played it for 157 hours (though I bought it way after release so there wasn't so many bugs as people say there was).

If CA never lives up to its word and it's games disappoint so much the way people on this thread say, why not just move on to a game/company that meets your expectations better? I guess I just don't see why the same 5-10 cynical people continue with their gripes and demands on how the game "must be". It's just a game, and you are free not to like it and try something else.

EXACTLY. Couldn't have said it better myself.

This from the first page of your thread if you ever bother to read it

Since this forum regroup all total war games it's just normal.

Ironically you are just complaining about people having a different opinion than you.

And deciding it's pointless to complain about steam only because you personally like it show you won't bother to understand people with different opinion.
