One month left, you excited yet?

[The True Roman]

How does one pass the time knowing how close a new total war is at our finger tips? I've been playing some older total war games but of resent I decided to fore go total war altogether and try something new, well some else. I brought Europa Universalis: Rome - Gold Edition off steam, I played it before a few years ago on my laptop but have no idea where the disc is anymore. Playing it gets me so excited for the carnage of a new total war. What are you guys playing in the mean time? Anyone have any suggestions for what we should play other then a total war game or mods?

[AtheistDane]

I'm playing Crusader Kings 2 and will be going to play Europa Universalis 4 when it comes out in a week or so.

I think the thing I'm most excited about is the line of sight system. It actually gives you a reason to have fast moving troops instead of just heavy infantry/Cav

This sounds like as if you are playing Sims 2 as well, just like me.

[RomeJunkie]

Haven't played any Total War games for like 5 months, so Rome 2 will feel more "fresh" when it comes out.

If you've got the money and enjoy the Sims games, then I would recommend getting Sims 3, It's definitely a step up. Except you only get two starting cities, and the game tries to get you to buy add-ons ing constantly.

Already played that games, bought it when it came out and played it until 2011.

Sims 3 was the worst Sims game I have ever played. It was bug-ridden at start, had much less features even after expansions. I played all of them, but I could not bear play Sims 3 more than two years, after which I got frustrated by constant money-grabbing by EA and that crap spyware named Origin, and uninstalled it completely. It was not a good game compared to other Sims games, and the later expansions added so much stupid fantasy and magic that it turned completely different from what it was supposed to be.

I play Sims 2 now. Much better game, even with old graphics it has THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of more features than Sims 3. Not to mention that it is virtually bug-free, and doesn't require that spyware Origin.

I have, in fact, began playing Sims 1 sometimes as well. Good game, even though very old.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I am spending my time learning Japanese as well. Along with reading history books and articles, painting, watching TV, watching anime, and waiting for my exam results.

I play a buttload of shogun and make a buttload of videos

[Captain Arrrgh!]

Yes.
Despite the fact that the AI has a high probability of containing overwhelming levels of suck, and even though we'll be bombarded with tiny "we developed these independantly from the main game" DLC's AND with the full awareness that CA will constantly patch the game and alter it somehow other than advertised due to incessant whining like they did with Shogun 2.

Yes, yes, yes. I'm basically spinning my wheels and plan to call in sick for work the first week of September, then rack up over 300 hours of gameplay on it before it's first expansion comes out.
Oh, but of course I'll still whine and criticize CA incessentaly. That comes with the territory.

[Mary The Quene]

Yes, But i hope they will adress a few concerns in patches

[Huberto]

I really feel like seeing some reports from people I trust and some walk thoughs from actual gamers before I can get excited about playing it -- but I'm looking forward to it coming out.

I didn't realize gaming was a trust issue, have you been hurt in the past lol

Days couldn't be slower, so excited I barely even wanna play any of the other TW games now =(

I need daily doses of Rome 2 !

this summer flew by for me, its hard to believe its almost fall already. In all honesty, from the time they announced Rome 2 till now kinda flew by. I feel like they just released pictures of the siege of Carthage only like a few months ago.

Game reviews are often not to be trusted. If you'd read my post correctly you'd see that what I was talking about.

But I do loathe stupid games, as most people do. Granted some people will play any steaming pile no matter what, "lol"

[The True Roman]

Every day that passes is another day closer to total war, if only I could freeze myself until it comes out and not end up a future boy fighting for one atheist faction or another.

[Sun Jetzu]

hopefully this game needs the least amount of patches after release.

[General Maximus]

Playing both Europa Universalis - Rome (Gold Edition) as well as Crusader Kings 2. I also play Victoria II, Hearts of Iron 3 and most of other Paradox strategy games to pass the time.

Along with that, I play Total War of course. Passing my time with Empire, Napoleon, Shogun II (FoTS) and RTW with Roma Surrectum II.

I am playing Assassin's Creed, AC Brotherhood and AC Revelations. Best games I have ever seen, with the best voice acting, and the most historically accurate cities.

And playing Simcity 4. God, that game has a deadly addiction transferred to whoever plays it.

I am also playing Sims 2, although not as frequently.

You have entirely too much free time.
