But have they listened enough, and can I really put aside the R2 debacle so (relatively) quickly? Everything has to be weighed.
It's really a tough spot. I love Total War games, and in the past would have pre-ordered the newest game the same week it became possible to do so, if not the same day. And I still haven't ruled out Attila since this time around we are getting gameplay videos and much more information as the final month before release is about to start. But R2's release just makes it very, very hard to weigh what to do with Attila, obviously.
