Why so many hating on CA?

[DogSoldierSPQR]

No matter how many times CA says it, people never seem to get it. CA said they aim for "Authenticity instead of Realism". I really cannot understand why people are complaining about armour being too shiny, Germanic tribes not having the correct swords, Greek States at wrong historical strengths, the list just goes on. People are expecting things from CA that they themselves are not even aiming for. Mods WILL change things and give you guys what you want. Leave CA in peace to make sure we got a good, solid engine that can support the gameplay itself, let them add all the badass looking animations. The modders will do what they do when they can. Personally, I'm looking forward to Roma Surrectum on Rome 2. CA knows that modders are going to change everything once they can anyway, so why should they waste time adding very little details when they can spend that time to give us a strong engine, solid character models, animations and other things which are crucial to the gameplay? Don't you think it is counter-productive to waste so much time on getting the little details right when you know a group of modders, who are well knowledged in the specifics, are going to change it anyway? Authenticity-wise, CA have nailed Rome 2. I really like what they have done. Let the modders give you a realistic experience, but let CA make this a TW game. TW is not about realism, it's about authenticity. I'm just trying to tell people to chill out, there is nothing to worry about. What CA doesn't do, a modder will.

what's with this hating business? some kind of childs analogy...?

most of it can be called constructive criticism. it happens when there are things that can be criticised, as in most things in life.

try not to think of it as personal and people "hating".

While I agree its not hating, I think the degree of 'Constructive criticism' people are trying to provide is more nitpicking than anything. 90% is people concerned about a helmet being 2cm too high and things to that effect, its just not necessary.

repeating yourself isnt doing you any favours. just looks like a failed troll attempt...

cant really say it's the most original either..what next? grammar? punctuation?

p.s and i am not your son thanks!

i didnt post twice on purpose son. The website is lagging

[Totalheadache]

I was copying analogy from the 1st poseter lol. Feel like he doesnt really get slang. Us total warriors have slang to.

am confused how does this relate to me? nvm...

No India, no weekly updates, dumb DLCs, blatant money whoring, catering to idiots, Iceni, and sandals.

India has got nothing to do with Rome. India only really fits in with Alexander and then the later conflict with the spread of Islam. India has a rich history, but not much related to Rome and it's pretty far away.

hahahahaha ! Its sadly TRUE ! My hope is: MODDERS!

[Toho]

they crave attention.

Not hating. I'm trying to tell people that they are going overboard with their demands. CA does not have the time for all of this and even if they did, it would be pointless since mods change entire games anyway.

overboard with demands? i dont see that...

and CA can ignore at their will. no big deal.

furthermore am sure mods here will close pointless/troll threads. which this is really (sorry to say. troll not, but pointless).

whining about the whiners...doesnt make sense. have a good sob if it really upsets you so much...

If not hating then maybe you should reword your thread??? Anyways you forget mods for total war games are getting more and more scarce because files are more and more hard coded and complicated for modders to figure out without spending almost a life time to edit files and such models so on and so fourth so as of today we cannot rely on modders to fix everything anymore. I think Constructive criticism is needed for games like this.

I will be upset if you a Darth mod is not made for this game. Actually I would like a Rome 2 Europa Barborum instead.

I love them, i really do.

Because they have an opinion.

Basis of a forum - nothing wrong with that. The biggest fans are usually critical, though admittedly the crisiticm here has been scathing (and poorly punctuated )

The worst thing is people trying to discourage others from buying - never let anyone make decisions for you people.

I get your point. My problem ain't with people expressing opinions. It's just people going overboard with demands that are going to arrive via mods anyway. We should let CA make their own style of Rome 2, then we will enjoy a big mod when it comes out. We get the best of both worlds. No point having CA plop a fully realistic game because it would not be very Total War-like.

You need a full stop after the parentheses.
