Negativity of fans

[Shocked]

After reading through this area of the forums for 1 week I can say without a doubt at least 70% of the people posting on here are negative about CA and/or their games (silly as they're obsessing over the next game). It's so stupid, people are getting riled up over small details in pre-alpha, they don't even know about most things they just assume.

Stop with the negativity.. At least until you have good reason to be negative. Another thing that annoys me is people expecting 100% realism in factions and gameplay, it's not going to happen for the sake of gameplay. For example Egyptians will most likely have an Egyptian twist on the unit roster, units won't be 100% accurate but they will sure as hell be 100% better than Rome 1 vanilla, deal with it.

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.

Yeah, not even close to being released and ' WAAAAHHHHH WE DON'T KNOW WHATS IN ROME II LETS CRY ABOUT IT ON THE FORUMS EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE NO INFORMATION LETS HATE THE STUFF WE THINK IS GOING TO BE IN IT.'

[Julio-Claudian]

Hear hear. It's quite funny.

[Lord Baal]

A lot of this rants are sensible responses to things already stated by CA employees to be in the game and the extrapolation of the trends of the last three games of CA (Empire, Napoleon and Shogun 2). So it's not as senseless as you might think.

Its funny but actually when the game is in pre-alpha THIS IS THE ONLY TIME we can actually cry for historically accurate Egyptian unit roster because when the game is finished than they wont change anything because of time and money... And then your words '' At least until you have good reason to be negative'' wont mean anything at all.. they wont change the units like ''desert axemen'' when the game is finished and we are going to play romans who dont represent the romans .. This is the only time we can suggest something ..

This.

Jack Lusted has already said in an interview the Egyptian roster will have an Egyptian twist in it, he won't change what he wants to do because you and a few fans cry about it. It won't be 100% historically accurate but who cares. Being negative over something that hasn't been created is silly, for all you know there may be barely anything for you to cry about.

He also mentioned there would be historical greek units. Selective hearing at it's best.

Its better to suggest more ideas be negative or positive about the features rather than just wait.. It wont be 100% historically accurate and you are exaggerating about it but if this makes the community involved and if this is what majority wants that means it has to be as accurate as possible for the sales and so on.. When there is such a huge fuss about history than there is a huge possibility that CA will take it in to consideration.. You have to understand that ''being negative over something that hasn't been created'' is the only way to create something in positive way in the first place . First we need to let them understand that there is a problem and its theyr job to create the solution.. As I was saying before - when the game is finished than our negativity wont mean anything .

stop being negative towards 70% of the people, please exspalin why accuracy hurts gameplay? there are many threads on this not one good reason has been given. Also please dont say egypt in rome 2 will be better 100% than in rome 1 unless you can support it.

why would we than stop posting on historical accuracy because a few fans [you] complain about it?

again than dont be negative over our wants.

A lot of people could love older games like RTW or M2TW and their mod but been truly disappointed by the later games.
Since this forum regroup all total war games it's just normal.

agree 100% my favorite game ever was medevil 1.

Actually, just the fact that he accepted to be questioned about the game while the game is in such an early stage shows how much attention they are giving to the people on these forums (since these forums are the center point of their most loyal fans and modders, as far as I can tell) so I guess they actually announced the game so early in order to have a proper knowledge from early on what their customers want (I think I can speak in the name of all customers when I say that better realism and improved gameplay is a thing needed).
But still, I agree with the OP with the ridiculous amount of cry babies that the forums gathered lately for a game we don't know mostly anything. And someone said that people are making speculations and discussion on what CA said that there will be and from extrapolating what already has been done in the last warscape games (since Rome 2 is on warscape too) but in the end they are still speculations. Until video footage of actual battles and campaign comes out, people should just relax and enjoy the fact that one of the best TW games ever has a sequel coming out in the end of the next year.

Trends here and on other fan sites will influence the development of the game over the next year to year and half. Certainly one commonly discussed thing that will probably make it into the game is kills being slowed down, or else units becoming less specialized. One or the other.

I do...
We are "crying" suggestions because prevent is better than cure...

Specially when the cure is impossible. By current trends Rome 2 may won't even let you include new textures for models.

That's right!!

Saw the new FOTS unit pack DLC and was disgusted by it........9 units you wish to sell as a DLC? Not even 20 or new campaign even? I know people need to make money but this is selling a game in pieces in a very BAD way.Campaigns with new units and maps are very much acceptable (like the Kingdoms expansion), that dlc is not.

I totally agree with you!!

[Lord Baal]

Or could end up being something just worst.

[oppaiO_O]

i also dont like the whines going around here but in a weird interpretation of mine= all the people whining are hardcore total war fans who expect more from ca than its trying to give so they announce their problems in a negative way though in truth are very happy rome is coming out and they just want to support the release?? well it doesnt hurt to be positive at times though i agree with some of the negative threads about ca (like the ai threads,or the battle time threads,units all that, and request of what we want to see threads)though people tend to focus more on what ca has done wrongly instead of the less noticeable improvements over the years.... well thats my two cwnts

[warman222]

I agree with the OP completely.

[IGdood]

Don't worry, it's just the negativity that's coming after all the crazy near-ridiculous levels of positivity when Rome 2 was announced.

Things will balance out in twcenter when we're done oscillating....unless we're in ideal setting then we're screwed. lolphysics
