One can dream. And i dream of Warhammer and Company of Heroes with Creative assembly running the show. Im hoping for Medieval 3 as the next game... but im sort of hoping that CA goes towards World war II or outer space. Like CoH or Space marines

Re: Rome 2 pre-orders six times higher than Shogun 2
I am glad that good news is going CA,s way regarding sales and interest.
Rome is the big one let there be no mistake.
The amount of interest has also been fueled by the different TV series about the era.
The public Know about Rome and its epic story.
I await news now from CA about the details, If the news is good I shall suffer the steam torment for the first time, Buying a disk set of course.

Re: Rome 2 pre-orders six times higher than Shogun 2
Surely they'd seek to up the hype if people weren't preordering, so as to make them pre-order?Nah basic econ tells you that more pre-orders means we'll see more hype less substance before the game is released...

Re: Rome 2 pre-orders six times higher than Shogun 2
Rome is by far their best and most popular property they have, and it's not a surprise it's blowing away Shogun pre-orders. It's not going to be a surprise when Rome II blows away all previous TW games in sales after release as well.
So far, my expectations have been exceeded because I've got the pre-order with my favorite factions (Greek Cities) for $45 dollars. I've never got such a big title game for less than $60 or $50 before the game even released, and with bonus content. So how can anyone even gripe about that when they had the opportunity to take advantage of this deal?

Re: Rome 2 pre-orders six times higher than Shogun 2
I must be the only one here who finds Roman history just as boring as Japanese history.
Rome 2 for me is about everything besides Rome. Basically it'll be me smacking Rome around every chance I get as soon as humanly possible.
I will cut a straight line to them as Parthia if need be.

Pretty sure the new Spartacus series had something to do with it.
Now they're going to have a Caesar spin off made. Good god, that blondie clown prancing around is going to make me have nightmares.
Better to just skip it.

I sure hope they don't try to make £45 standard.

$60CAD is the standard for new PC and console games here in Canada. I'm afraid the price is here to stay.

Re: Rome 2 pre-orders six times higher than Shogun 2
Haven't read the other comments but i imagine (i hope) this has been mentioned before... This is indeed good news for CA... but it is awful news for gamers.
You guys keep spending 60 bucks in unreleased products of which you know less than half its features (hell... we haven't even seen the campaign map yet... nor an actual real time battle...) and the quality of games will keep getting lower and lower.
If you just buy games out of hype, companies will just stop putting an effort into actually releasing good (great) products.

Re: Rome 2 pre-orders six times higher than Shogun 2
Strange accusations, where do you get the assumptions that the developers will become more lazy because we pre-order things? O_o

"Ok, i got this supercool idea that we should totally include into the game, we just need one more month of development"Strange accusations, where do you get the assumptions that the developers will become more lazy because we pre-order things? O_o
Strange people on this forum
- "Meh... what's the point, one more month of work is going to cost money and these people have already bought the game, we could invest that month doing something else that we can actually sell them and profit from it. This is a business dude, not a goddamn house of charity".
"Yeah... true... well what about a Royal Highlander Rifle Regiment dlc for the Iceni? With bagpipes and all"
- "Spot on mate, rock and roll".
It's the first time i get called "strange" for actually making sense. I don't know, i don't think I'm being particularly paranoid here.
You think McDonalds or Burger King will even think of improving the quality of their burgers if people keep buying them no matter how much they resemble fried carton discs? No, they won't. Not unless they have competence. And the sad thing... CA has no competence at all, it's not like they make FPSs or something.
If customers have such low standards (and fall for the hype so easily...) and keep buying games at full price half a year before its release without even knowing what's going to be featured in the game, companies will eventually start spendending most of the budget on advertisements and making games that look cool on trailers than actually making good games... (oh, wait... we are already there...).
(Blame Sega if you will, but i don't care, this is customer's fault).
