Angry Joe will be uploading some Rome 2 footage soon!

[warman222]

I just saw these tweets from Joe Vargas, know to many as Angry Joe!


"Witcher 3 & Rome II Interviews Tonight!"

At first I thought it would just be an interview, but then he posted this:

"Wasnt able to wrestle the footage from Witcher, but I did get Exclusives from @CAGames Rome! Regardless u will see my excitement from both!"

Also, as of the time of this post, one hour ago he said this:

"Rendering Both Interviews Now!"

So in other words, Angry Joe will have some footage and interview for us to see! Stay tuned guys!

It will be his interview from E3. He is slow on uploading the E3 stuff.

Saw this too. Can't wait.

I like Angry Joe. He gave a good review to Shogun 2. I kind of wish he would follow up on some expansions of games, or revisited them, but he's not Rock Paper Shotgun, he's a TGWTG style comedic reviewer. I know he loves musket warfare though, he might have loved Fall of the Samurai.

Oh, yeah. It will probably be E3 footage, aka the Battle of the Nile. Well if it shows combat up close or just looks better than the other e3 videos, I'll be fine i guess.

Can't wait, I know he's a massive fan of the Total War games by his reviews..

Joe is so slow uploading stuff... But he does at times as questions that most others would not from devs (That Xbox One interview was so hilarious with Major Nelson ), so will be interesting.

[Grimbold]

"New" is the new "Old"

[Arokel]

It should still be worth a watch. As was already mentioned he tends to ask questions other interviewers don't.

[Spartacus041]

Please update your OP when he does upload it

[Mbern45]

Thanks for the heads up. I only started watching his reviews recently but I really like his stuff. Its weird because I hated him at first but I kept watching the first review I saw and I got over his annoying angry bit since his reviews are very honest. He's not afraid to mention the good and the bad about any game.

[Semper_Fidelis]

He did an after E3 Vlog and he said he had some stuff for Rome II. He hasn't uploaded it since so it's probobly old news.

[Kahvipannu]

Haven't watched it yet, but he uploaded it few minutes ago:

At least he is an interviewer who ask questions which show he is in the materia. Not like the IGN Interview etc.

Joe references the flipping out over sandals thing lol. Good stuff as usual. Shame we didn't learn anything new though.

If he had uploaded with the right timing (40 days ago), we would have learned something new.

Ok, now I have a question that concerns me:

Since all the logistics of putting armies into ships is removed (they say for the sake of players AND the AI, but I think it is basically for the AI), now the AI will not treat water as a barrier, it will just roll in armies to any "docking point" (since the coast is made up of small open beaches and ridiculous block-cliffs) and move its army over water. BUT, I fear that the AI will not have the wits to protect its armies while moving over water. It will probably just treat water as extension of land and I will be able to pick off transports with my warships.
It seems scouting has always been the weakness of the AI (I've rarely seen it scout and then act accordingly) and I fear this new mechanic will just add to the problem. In the past the AI was forced to use battleships as transport and even then, quite often it used a weakest boat or two to transport entire stacks. Now that the whole load on ship thing is gone, Ai won't have to use any type of battle ship, so basically -stacks of AI forces moving over water with no protection - is what I fear may happen.

something i heard here that ive not before, to recreate an army you need to recover the eagle 6:20

the way it should be IMO

perhaps means bonuses for armys that capture eagles or standards too

[Mbern45]

They mention that you can knock down entire sections of walls instead of just creating breaches like before, I don't remember hearing this before.

If its true it will make it harder to defend since you can't just place all the troops in front of the breaches. I just hope the ai is smart enough to maximize the wall damage and not try to make a small breach and then rush everyone is.

I cant imagine how this works, knock down the entire section of wall instead of creating breaches... Do we now have powerful siege weapons that can do that?

I hope players and ai wont treat water as land wherein they can pass through instantly...
