I am Feeling weak TW brothers

[Humble Warrior]

Seasons wouldn't solve anything. It is simply the same game except you get seasons. The rest of the problems remain. They'd have to fix more than just throwing snow onto some of your turns.

You're feeling weak because CA's marketing machine is hammering you good with their manufacturing your sense of emptiness, a feeling that could only be (potentially) filled by buying.

Well said. marketing is powerful, even when you try to resist. It gets in there.

Exactly. CA now knows what the consumers want...so they put up a product for it. What they gonna do, give it for free?

By not doing it the first round, they just generated demand for their next product. Even better, the consumers themselves stated it so. This is called business: never make a perfect product, so there will always be something to sell. The marketing does the opposite: they make the product LOOK perfect so people will buy.

This I presume is the infamous "brutal approach" that Tim Heaton has in mind. Which makes sense, if you're a moneygrubbing douche

You gotta be joking me! Paola Maldini or Silvio Berlusconi are the most famous Italians!

Who the hell is Ceaser? That's dogfood here in the UK! Lol

Italians, not Romans. Get back on-topic or I will report you for winning at Old Trafford !

Some people are actually experiencing huge fps losses due to rain in R2TW, so seasons would make things worse.

You nailed it : the paragon of all products being the coca-cola can : it's supposed to be refreshing but it actually makes you even more thursty. (cf Slavoj Zizek)

i think my biggest disappointment in rome 2 battles, are the lack of collision and weight. since warscape can't produce this like the old engine could. too many agents. i agree. lack of buildings you can build. lack of walls around every settlement. i guess i'm just a rome 1 fan at heart. i still play roma surrectum 2 now

And this guys, is the reason why crappy sequels and DLCs will keep being made in the future. Because people tend to forget very soon what kind of shiitbag the previous failure was

[Principe Alessandro]

I didn't bought yet the game itself, I have learned my lesson with Empire, I'll wait until CA has finished to release the patches and some big mod is around, no point in buying a game that you know will disappoint you for a year or more.
