Indeed; the modders can get around to fixing the battle speeds even if CA doesn't get around to it in time; the issue is that it's even this bad to begin with. Don't get me wrong, nearly every TW is released and is full of some clusterfuck of game-breaking bugs (Empire, anyone?) but this is just something else. Some elements of the game need to be completely re-worked, namely the UI, among other things. I just don't see how they gathered a group of people together, evaluated this game in its current state and said "Yeah, that'll do." Just go look at the totalwar reddit forum for a small glimpse of the crazy bugs I've seen today, either through perusing forums or first-hand from friends jumping in mumble shouting "WHAT THE FUCK".Honestly, the shit you guys are talking about all sounds patchable. I'm not too worried.
The game is extremely heavily CPU bound, which is probably where your frame rate hits are coming from, not the GPU.Have bit hit with one frame rate slow down, which is pretty much inexcusable with a GTX 770. So... I am guessing new drivers will fix this and a few patches.
Don't worry we got one shill working overtime to tell you nothing is wrong with the game. Meanwhile it's getting TOR level reception everywhere else. Of course there's always that one guyugh i understand what everyone was saying..load times during ai turns are getting progressively worse...im up to 2 mins and i have a pretty damn good pc
Well to be fair you are saying its a garbage game and I completely disagree... But its not all roses like the other guy is making it out to be. I'd say its on the "good side" but with a lot of bad things to flesh out :\Don't worry we got one shill working overtime to tell you nothing is wrong with the game. Meanwhile it's getting TOR level reception everywhere else. Of course there's always that one guy
A lot of things are better. Unit variety is way more interesting than shogun, being able to upgrade troops by walking into provinces, retrianing them in the same manner, managing armies instead of individual units, being able to have naval and land armies in same battle, The province system to allow for edicts instead of individual cities, a more complete internal diplomacy system with gravitas and influence, load times for battles are greatly reduced compared to shogun 2, siege battles altho easy as fuck due to really bad ai are more varried maps, dont have stupid walls, and require you to plan ahead with ladders, rams, etc.. Not all sieges have walls, armies can create encampments to defend a choke point,etc.But it is garbage:
Visuals: somehow worse Shogun 2
Performance: Arma 2/3/Crysis tier
AI: hasn't been this broken since Empire
UI: Fucking mind bogglingly bad compared to Shogun 2
Battles: shorter than Shogun 2 with even less strategy
MP: gutted presumably for their "MOBA" and what's left is broken/laggy as fuck
There's nothing this game does good or better than any other TW game. As of right now there is not one improvement to be found in the entire game. This is like if your annualized CoD or sports game was fundamentally worse in all aspects, yet people are trying to pretend it's somehow not, which I can only imagine is post-purchase rationalization.
Thanks for making my point.You're citing personal taste as things that are improved, whereas I'm pointing out all the technical and fundamental flaws that Rome 2 shipped with, which you have zero answers for. Just keep going back to muh unit variety and enjoy your broken game you fucking retard
You have nothing. You and Denaut bring up features which were already present in Shogun. Character traits are nothing new; the influence system is no different in its mechanics from a generals loyalty. Training troops directly from the general instead of going into a city? Already in Shogun. The diplomacy and tech-tree are copy&paste from previous games, even the little shitty bonuses are still in the game.So basicaly you say there's nothing better, I offer you at least 10 things that are, you nitpick at one blaming the era (eventho it is still a true statement)... Do you have anything to add to this thread or are you just looking to whine about everything without an actual conversation about positive and negative things about the game in an intelligent manner.
