    Default First impressions

    So we're finally here Rome 2 has officially been released Unfortunately, I won't be able to play the game for another 3-4 days so I wanted to ask those of you who have received their game what are your first impressions.. what are some dissappointments.. what did you find really good etc.

    Enjoy gaming

    No it hasn't.

    EDIT: And that was a horrible cock-tease. I actually went and checked my steam.

    fear is helluva drug
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    “The only rule that ever made sense to me I learned from a history, not an economics, professor at Wharton. "Fear," he used to say, "fear is the most valuable commodity in the universe." That blew me away. "Turn on the TV," he'd say. "What are you seeing? People selling their products? No. People selling the fear of you having to live without their products." freakin' A, was he right. Fear of aging, fear of loneliness, fear of poverty, fear of failure. Fear is the most basic emotion we have. Fear is primal. Fear sells.” WWZ

    Have you had your daily dose of fear yet? craziii

    I don't understand why they couldn't just do a 12am EST release. Or rolling release by timezone. Having to wait for the West Coast sucks ass.
    "What is the most cowardly and shameful thing in human conduct? It's when people with power, and those who flatter them, hide in safe places and extol war--people who force patriotism and self-sacrifice on others, sending them to the battlefield to die. For the sake of peace in the universe, before we continue this fruitless war... mustn't we first start by exterminating such evil parasites?"

    I know why.

    Steam Is Located in SEATTLE, Most releases are usually based on Pacific time, No joke.

    Dota International? Based on Pacific time, Rome is no different... I guess we West Coasteners are special

    First let's plays and tests look pretty good. It's like a bigger all new Shogun 2 with faster units and longer fights. I'm sure my first impression will be good... ONCE IT IS RELEASED!

    Oh.. I thought it would be released at 00:00 GMT considering CA's HQ is in the UK..

    The preloading screen has been up for days now and my computer has a decent processor. I am very annoyed at CA. I don't understand why the game will not start since I've given it half a week to boot up.

    The game is not released yet. When the game is released, then you can make your first impressions threads.
