JLZ Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Shogun 2! I really hope they'll fix path finding, clogging, on wall behavior... BTW I find Rome the best from the serial. Also, I am so poor admiral. Never tried Napoleon. Is it any good? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
topol-m Posted July 29, 2010 Author Posted July 29, 2010 A lot of things need fixing, Empires is not one of my favorite from the series. Don`t worry about the admiralty :) the ships that you see in the video are full of infantry not of hundreds of guns. It will be interesting how the naval battles will be fought. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

RipKirby Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 All of the TW games are pure awesomeness. With Shogun 2 they say every single aspect of the game has been turned over, looked at, nurtured, polished and refitted. I can't wait.

Speed Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 If they have as many broken promises and as poor of support as Empire Total War did, this will suck too. :( Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

MasterZelgadis Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Started the series with medieval, years ago, it was great. Rome and Medieval 2 were great, too, but I didn't like Empire that much. Never tried Napoleon. IMO the best part was Medieval 2, the Castle sieges were simply great. Looking forward to Shogun 2, hope it will be better than Empire "Sieh nur, wie majestätisch du durch die Luft segelst. Wie ein Adler. Ein fetter Adler." http://www.space-view.net
topol-m Posted January 14, 2011 Author Posted January 14, 2011 New trailer, showing bits of Shogun 2: Total war awesomeness! This game will put an end of my social life for quite a while. :P http://www.gametrailers.com/video/campaign-walkthrough-shogun-2/709287 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Konovalov Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 March 15. Will have to put that in my diary. :smilewink: I really hope that this is good. I played the original STW back in the day. For me I started going off the Total War series with Empire Total War. Rome has been my favourite closely followed by Shogun.

ShalashakaDS Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Im pretty confident that this one will be an amazing title, just not sure how long after release.
LordWolf Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 best game ever =] (or atleast first one was :P)
Jinro Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I remember the first one--I couldn't play it because every time a crow cawed my speakers would go into a fit of static and I would have to reboot to get them to shutup.
EtherealN Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Suck as Empire? The heck? Empire was definitely the best in the series (with Rome as a close second) - after the five billion patches required to make it playable. :P I found the battles in Empire to be a lot more fluid than the battles in previous titles, making the battles feel more dynamic. Combine that with moving economic structures out of the province capitals and it was just awesome. Well... when it didn't crash. I'm hoping for a bug-free(ish) Empire-style Shogun. That would make my day - and probably more than just a day. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester

Rusty_M Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 People everywhere seem to keep saying that Empire sucks. I love the series, but I really struggle to get into it. I've only played an hour or two of empire and it really seems pretty good. What "sucks" about it? The world is going mad. Me? I'm doing fine! http://www.twitch.tv/rusty_the_robot https://www.youtube.com/user/RustyRobotGaming
EtherealN Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 genbrien, I'm not sure why that happens to you. I usually played that one as England and had no problems doing crusades. (But then I got boned by the Mongol invasion after conquering most of the holy land. :P ) The key is to minimize travel time and only transport armies led by a crusading general. Rusty, one thing that might have turned many of was the complete maze of bugs that plagued Empire at release. It really was atrociously bad at that point with lots of weird bugs. Another point some make is that the decreased emphasis on melee combat changed the battle dynamics quite a bit, which might turn some off if they liked the previous "style" of combat more. (I personally liked the Empire battles more than the previous games.) But yeah, aside from those I really struggle with figuring out why people dislike Empire so much. Nowadays it is fairly bug-free, runs beautifully, has an awesome mod engine integrated and is generally kickass imo. :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
Mugenjin Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Possibly because Empire at release was a total bug fest and performance was horrible and reviews reflected that. But I agree that after all those patches it's quite good. Shame it took CA that long though.
