I'm not actually complaining. It's more baffling then anything.

Mods can feel free to merge it. I just think this highlights the discrepancy in what was advertised and what we actually got.

I see only very minor differences. Further, they repeatedly stated (over and over again) that things were subject to change. They covered their bases. This is how pre-release footage works, you don't assume that's exactly what the game will be like.

The CA rep narrating the video said the game would look "much, much better."

it's still the same battle though so i don't see how it was false advertising.

REAL false advertising is like the stuff that capcom did with sfxt

point click and charge or auto battle, Sid Meirs would be proud!

**baldrick13** · September 06, 2013, 10:31 PM

the real question is "how much better could you get?"

How does every big game turn to

these days?

Publishers.

In this case, SEGA.

If you're looking for a game you can genuinely expect to be good, your best bet is to focus on crowdfunded titles.
