I knew it. Rome II people! It's here! Going to be the best Total War ever! [until Rome 3 lol] Can't wait to send my legions to slay some eastern despots! Also, excited to hear diplomacy will be much more in-depth and personal. Should be interesting to call for aid from allies and such and see how the AI responds.
He mentions each faction will have their own styles for fighting as well. I really hope the phalanx units of Greece are improved upon from Rome 1.
Almost looks like Socom 4. Slow and sluggish movement. I hate that. Characters need to be fast and furious. They're super soldiers for pete's sake! Also, camera is a little to close to the hero. Zoom out a little bit so we can get some scope on our environment.
Not enough battle space either imo. The heroes are always storming at a single point-objective, like a bunker, plane, office room, etc.
Health regenerates too, I don't like that. You should also be able to carry more than two guns. Holster the pistol, pick up the sub, and strap the AR. Slow motion is also too easy a way to pick off multiple enemies.
On the brighter side, enemies are somewhat aggressive. Clips are visibly replaced with new ones. And bullets seem to go where you're shooting.
Seems like decent game, but I probably wouldn't buy it at full price.
