The game is horrible at this stage and several mechanics have been INCREDIBLY dumbed down, comparing with previous titles (such as diplomacy and even tactical battles, on which you are suposed to "defend" certain positions on the battlefield marked with a flag, regardless of your choice or better ground for your troops; if you dont do this you lose the battle...).
I cant stress it enough, THEY HAVE GONE BACKWARDS with this game. If you dont own Shogun 2, do yourself a favour, get THAT one. Forget this Rome 2... ^thumbs down^
And I add: VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET; let be clear to fucking Creative Assembly that they cant just keep rushing horribly buggy games out the door as their standard practice...
Mark has a reputation of a harsh reviewer, and I can respect that (even if I dont agree with his particular POV once in a while), as long as that harshness is consistent, as long as he gives his hard look to ALL the games.
In this case, I AGREE. :P
SUDA needs to go away. Tired of all his bullshit, shallow and pandering-to-the-lowest-common-denominator games. :P
I just hope we will see it someday for the PS3... Having to buy it for the next console (which i wont be getting) would feel like a knife in the back, after all these years of waiting...
I wonder why Gamespot hasnt included Witcher 3 in the fucking "Best series from the decade" challenge, while including the dissapointing Dragon Age, or Red Dead Redemption (which is an awesome game, but not a series at all, at least not yet).
My hero Toegoff, quoted for truth: "BioWare now is like a child that you loved so much, but got involved in taking too much drugs... you want him to get better, you support him, he promises you he will quit, you want to believe him, then you give him some more moneys and he goes straight to buy more drugs..." :P
