[Point_Man]

I wanted a Rome 2 meme, so I pieced together a couple screenshots from the live action trailer. Share and make your own.

Even though these are supposed to be jokes, I might as well spoil the fun and be "that guy".

On DLC: DLC isn't all bad, it's gotten a bad name from people like Activision (funnily enough 20 years ago they filed for Bankruptcy) and EA. We're just remembering the Horse Armors and not the Rise of the Samurai. We need to move past the spoiled eggs and look at the good ones.

On POM: If you were trying to get your videos out there, would you post bad ones? Would you post ones of you doing terribly? No, that's not what people want to see. They want to see someone doing well/something interesting, and generally someone losing isn't all that interesting. Plus, he probably just wants to post the best, it's not rocket science or anything.

On Historical Accuracy: Now, there is a fine line between Historical Accuracy and Historical Immersion (paired with gameplay). People myself look for Immersion, not necessarily Accuracy. There's a difference between the two. Immersion is getting most details right, not making any stupid mistakes (like having the wrong shield), while leaving some artistic freedoms in terms of gameplay and design. Accuracy would be the complete opposite, leaving no creative freedoms because it never happened, or something didn't look exactly like that, etc...

Right...interesting...cool story bro...I'll just go over here and...

[IlluminatiRex]

Everyone has different tastes mate, just because you don't find something interesting or cool doesn't mean someone else doesn't.

I don't care for Call of Duty, but does it mean I make fun of those that do? No, I let them have their fun while I have mine in Red Orchestra 2.

It's the same principle.

POM posts pretty much every game. He doesn't play enough games to not post them all. Only thing is he combines and edits the games when he plays a long series against someone missing out what would the best games.

Looks like this is the right spot to point you to my avatar!

[Zaamii]

Haha! These are funny. They remind me of the "Age of Empires memes".

lol that one made me chuckle. +rep

However it was sold as, FOTS was an expansion, not a DLC. A DLC is an extra faction or a few units. It came with a full campaign, a full unit roster, several completely new systems and came as close to modern day as TW will get for about 3 games. (Only a guess but tbh fingers crossed here.) DLCs are things people don't like because they were left out of the main game when they would have taken a couple more weeks onto the release date but a there to make money. I know this is technically wrong but it sums up the point as best as possible.

Back on topic, I don't get what is funny about the dictatorship one. I'd take it over Republic or Democracy any day. Truth isn't that funny. Maybe you're just laughing to pretend it isn't reality.

I said Rise of the Samurai, not fall...

I'm also sick of people thinking dlc=left out content. That's only from companies like EA and Activision

Rise of the Samurai isn't DLC, it's an expansion pack labelled DLC. I'm guessing that the OP was thinking of unit packs, blood packs, cut factions.

Apparently they really want to make sure you understand it is "pre-alpha".

I wouldn't say RISE has enough content to be an expansion it's almost there. And the Blood Pack was like that for a reason, Germany and Australia do make a good amount of sales for TW and as we all know they are quite restrictive when it comes to gore. If they had made it free and for everyone then the game would have to have been reclassified in those countries. Unit packs aren't inherently bad either, same with faction packs, as long as they were worked on afterwards.

As far as I know the non-preorder faction packs for S2 were worked on after the game was released.

[Rijul.J.Ballal]

Nice work. But POM is not that bad and he has posted few battles where he has lost its just that they are like incredibly old and it is a pain to find them.anyway +rep for u

Why does the thread title have your name in it?

[Karnil Vark Khaitan]

So has pointy ever taken off his mask, I heard he was a black guy.

[Point_Man]

I fart in your general direction, your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!

Now, go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

Why are you active on the forums, but inactive in shogun 2?

Also, never judge a person by the color of his mask he wears.
