    Default And I won the battle against false marketing. So glad I didn't preorder this TW

    Seeing all the complaint threads from day one and not a single discussion on the plus side, the bad battle AI and the poor performance and whatnot. And all this I had already apprehended! Anyway, this has always been my strategy, to wait for the best moment to come and not act in haste and impatience. I have never preordered any TW title all because of such reasons. Who knows what trash might come out of it...I guess I'll be buying this at a reduced price at 30$ and when the performance ain't so choppy and terrible and they have a relatively better AI Good luck CA!

    So you want to support SEGA with 30 dollars of your money later on even though CA has falsely advertised the game? I think that if you buy the game later it wont matter what you think now because you are still supporting everything they've done.

    Another worthless reply then nothing to say about how you think the game feels nope just more casual trolling.I mean you have been doing this for months "dude" while people like myself and OP knew what was going to happen ( game would be crap) and we tried to make threads and show everyone and CA but you sat there and flames and troll posted with the same comments and this one you did just now and a lot of people are pissed.


    You bring nothing to the forum,or the game so why exactly even bother posting in the thread? Do you need attention or something? So sad not that im crying as i knew all along the game would be turd.I never pre ordered and if people are unhappy i highly suggest doing what i did with ETW and request a refund from amazon.You will still own the game on steam so work it out who suffers CA or Amazon or you?

    The only question you need to answer is have you played the game yet yourself?

    I value a game for what it is, not what I think it should be.

    Same here. This is not worth 55 eur. They released unfinished product - again.

    When a game comes out message boards get flooded with negative threads. Those who have issues be it technical or others are always the most vocal. Most people are happily playing the game. It's a fun game for me so far but still has the issues that most TW games have: not so good A.I and battles are too fast. This shouldnt suprise anyone who has played these games. At least it is better than the first Rome TW. In that game most armies broke before a battle was joined when they got hit by a volley of pilum. I played one campaign in vanilla in that game but played the game for 3 years because of mods like Total Realism and EB. I never regretted buying that game and I doubt I will regret buying this one

    I'm happy with it. Despite it's flaws I am entertained. Give me a week and I'll let you know if it's $70 worth of entertainment.

    Good for you. It might be a good idea to work on your personality next, it's a battle you are currently loosing.

    I guess I'll be keeping watch on all the patches and updates and youtube vids on how this game feels. My decision to buy this game cheap later with improvements and better AI. And if they still not fix it then EU IV is the way to go.

    The reason why your not seeing a string of positive threads is because those of us enjoying the game, are to busy playing the game.

    If you set your expectations so high, your always going to be disappointed.

    I'm expecting the DLC faction packs to be 2 to 3 factions for 10€ for "less important" ones and 15€ for the stuff people really want.

    I do not care about DLCs when you already have so many factions and units to mess with Fix the AI, fix the optimisation and fix the silly bugs and I'll buy this thing immediately.
