  Yeah I dont think I’ve even installed any patches I played for an hour or 2 before just uninstalling it. I cant stand broken games at launch I have no tolerance for it. I have played shogun 2 for over a thousand hours thats…nuts. I loved it that much, and will stick with that after installing it. For whatever reason got some glitch that would crash whenever I try to enter a battle, or they invade me.

  Well, after seeing the reviews and some in game footage, I’ll definitely buy the game someday…in a year or so. The original R:TW is my favorite game of all time, I played it for more than 1.000 (in words: one thousand) hours (vanilla and tons of mods)…so its successor is not only an insult to the franchise, somehow I feel it’s an insult to me personally. And on top of that they want me to pay 7,49 Euros (~9-10 USD) for packs of THREE measly factions each? Factions that should’ve been in the release in the first place? Where I probably only want to play one of the three anyway? Screw that, there’s no way in hell I’ll ever reward such incompetence and greed with anything even close to the full price. But I know I have to buy it someday…

  u guys are right but rome 2 is a great game thay just stuffed up big time and couldn’t complet it by the deadline which is there own fault but atleast there updating the game which is taking forever. but there making rome 2 playable. instead of just saying it’s shit just wait till patch 9 comes out hopefully they’ll have fixed the siege towers and walls by then cos thay just fixed a bunch of things with update 7. check out the patch notes guys and keep and eye cos when u see patch 9 out maybe you’ll be able to enjoy the game more. i’m loving it cos my siege units finally stands still when attacking a new target and thay made generals harder 2 kill no more losing your general to a single sling shot barrage

    Agreed. Seriously it is so fun, yes there is still bugs and glitches especially with a co op campaign but still worth the frustration. Looking through all the unit mods on the steam workshop lets you customize your experience and more importantly the way your units look as well as hundreds of new units made by players. I agree by patch 9 I will be playing Vanilla with just unit mods to make them look cooler. Everything else should be fixed by then, Angry Joe please have another look at the game in a month to tell everyone it is worth there money. Because the more the merrier!!!!!

  I loved the original Rome so I got myself a $2000 gaming rig to play its successor. I did this before the game was released I’m now replaying the original Rome. If anyone is looking for someone to game with add me on steam imaunit31. I’ve got about 40 games now thanks to steam sales

  I feel like they should go over the game now. The patches seem to be working. I would still love to see what he thinks after the fixes.

  After patch 5 the game is really good. With all the MOD made from the community every aspect of the game is fixed. Blood and gore is way better then in shogun 2. check out the mods in the workshop. It may take a while reading which ones you want and which ones are compatible withe eachother but it defiantly makes the game what total war should be.

  disappointment of the year, 40% bigger budget and they still messed it up, not acceptable.

  I may be a ‘little’ bit biast, but since patch 5 I’ve found all the bugs to be gone and the core game is fantastic. Sure there are faults – the political system is useless and balance between factions is flawed. It may be a bit too easy but god damnit it’s a great game!

  its recently been determined by the CA Q&A of late, that this current dev team had no idea what the family tree even really did or anything behind it and removed it. The long term fans know more about how the game is meant to work than the developers. We have youngens in there basically! cocky little young bastards who thought they knew it all.

  People… When will these video game publishers stop ruining potentially good/great games with rushed release dates. These boardroom morons would rather cash in for instant returns on their investments rather than giving developers the time they need to complete a game. The old edict, “fix it in the mix” doesn’t work here (or anywhere else in that matter). DLC should be used to improve an already completed and polished game and patches should be used to fix bugs that slipped through the QA testing. These two thing should not be used with the intention of finishing a rushed, incomplete game, EVER!

  What do you give this game after patch 4? And would you recommend shogun 2 over Rome 2

    I’m a Total war fan, and I think I’d recommend Shogun. Even though Rome has more diverse units and strategies, everything feels more signifigant in Shogun, considering you all pull from the same units, buildings and technoligies. There’s a stronger sense of achievement and the multiplayer is amazing and very deep. If you decide to buy Shogun and feel like multiplayer hit me up on Steam: emil4383
