Strategy Fans Rejoice! The Time is almost upon us, Empire: Total War is set to release on Wednesday, March 4th! and I for one will be counting the Hours! I’ve bought each and every game in the Total War series and each one continues to improve on the last, Creative Assembly is one of the few developers I know who can do that consistently time and time again!



In this Epic Extended Top Reasons Video we look at 5 Reasons the Game Kicks Ass. We pulled out all the stops and rented period costumes for this one folks. We got, Murder, Massive 18th Century Battles, Whores, Diplomatic Insults, Gentleman’s Duels, Time Traveling Colonial Soldiers, Pirates and Finally An Awards Ceremony! If you liked the video let us know in the comments! Especially if you want to see more like this!

We were able to go all out on this video with two Donators who contributed to the site about a month ago! Combined with my own money and your generous help I said F’ it lets go all out! We rented out these awesome costumes and bought those toy muskets and pistols! Without your donations this video wouldnt have been possible and frankly would have sucked much worse!

Thank you Guys!

Donations from our viewers allows us to greatly improve the quality and scope of parody sketches we can do!
I was never big on asking for anything, but the video turned out great, so I want to personally thank both Mark and Michael from the UK, you guys kick ass in my book! Thanks so much!

If your scratching your head saying to yourself, “Hey wait a minute, damn joe is pretty confident this game will be good, I mean he even awarded it the RTS Game of the Year for 2009, when its not even out yet!”

Your Damn Right I Did! Wanna fight about it? You’ll see, just you wait! It will win that category from the bigger guys, It will have that nice shiny badge soon from those major reviewers, but already it has one from AngryJoe (now lets see if they put that sticker on her package!)

And Sega needs the success, Total War is a money maker for them and they know it. Hopefully it will do well enough that they will put money towards the Aliens: Colonial Marines game and Its RPG counter-part. But enough of that Blabber! Lets talk us some Empire!

Empire: Total War is a game I’ve been wanting them to do since shogun, I’m not sure why, but I’m a HUGE fan of 18th Century Warfare, I love any historical show on the history/military channel about the time period and i’ve seen most major motion pictures that depict it. Those men were lions! to have the courage to walk in a tight formation, straight into a mass volley of lead only 30-50 feet away. Amazing!

I can lose myself in a game like this for days, weeks and pick it back up after months. The guys at Creative Assembly must never friggin’ sleep! We’ve got a stream-lined campaign map, new naval battles, improved AI , a new Agents system, and so much more! But the biggest news for me is the fact that port-release they are including a Multi-player Campaign System! so far its only 1v1, but holy hell ive been wanting this feature since Shogun! I’m so glad its here.

Now I would have just box the frakking game cuz’ its got the Total War label which oozes quality, but after reading off all the new features my head just exploded. If your a strategy fan, and you DON’T buy this game – you better have a DAMN good reason not to!

    did you ever try europa universalis 3? it is kind of like medieval 2 or even empire total war as years are progressing,you can play any country that existed in this timeline,even as the incas,or the asian countries,it got better diplomacy options and is less war oriented,there are no awesome battles as they are done automaticly but its still one of my favorite games try it out!

    dude i am getting sick of all the complainers about this game i thought it was a great game and i enjoy it and have fun with it the reason being is because i like this point of time. i hate the people who buy this game hoping for that extra thing that is non realistic to this point of time. if you like total war games go for the era you like and not just every single game just cause its new. creative assembly makes these games for every history fan to enjoy. i love all of history so i enjoy every game that comes out. sure the game has a few bugs but other than that it is still fun. i do think that AI still needs improvement especially in the campaign mode. if they are your allies and you never did anything to them and always helped them then they shouldnt just hate you because you have a large empire they should stick with being your ally and take advantage of your supperiority. even if they only have one country they wage war against you and that makes the AI the DUMBEST FUCKING AI in the world. JOE YOU SHOULD GET ANGRY AT THEM FOR THAT STUPID AI PROBLEM THEY HAVE IN CAMPAIGN MODE tell them to make them fucking realistic and for the AI to stop waging war against you because you have a large empire its annoying and stupid. they did the same thing for medieval 2 total war (which is another fantastic game) but AI is still shit lets see how the AI reacts in shogun2 total war

    well. I am a big strategy fan, but E:TW is the worst game I ever played.

    the AI is total bullshit. every battle is quite the same.
    the engine sometimes comes to a complete crawl in some battles to the point you have to quit and hope it works next time. possibly AI related slowdown.
    (my PC is superfast 4gb ram asus p4q with core2duo @ 3.3 ghz, nvidia gtx285)

    diplomacy is total bullshit. and NOT realistic at all. for example I never ever had a quarrel with Austria, saved their butt from total annihilation by poland, gave them 3 areas for free, and they HATE ME -80, just because I got a big empire. wtf?

    finally, I will never ever buy a game that needs STEAM, the biggest shit in the universe.
    you dont own your own game, cant sell it after you quit playing, need a constant internet connection, etc. wtf?!?

    Imperial Glory was 100 times better than this crap, they should make Imperial Glory 2!
