I got this last night and I'm all excited but I was wondering is there a guide for this or tips? I played shogun back int he day but that was a long time ago and the governing part looks like a challenge.

No offense, but I word for word described eve online as something Id not want to play.

I realized when I posted this Id get a bunch of people recommending games that don't fall into the category of what I'm describing and those who will still mention games that I clearly stated are not what I'm seeking. I've been looking around and from what I can tell nothing like the game I'm seeking exists. I guess these types of games are just a dead genre. Star Trek online would have been close but its not really it. Now its just fighter based games with some sort of rpg element if you are lucky.

Nothing that has an actual starship with npc crews that you can recruit or create and all that have a rpg element to it. I was really hoping X3 would be that but that was just horrible and went in a completely different direction.

Am I the only person who wants this?

No no no.. I'm not talking about some fighter based game in space. Not some game with one person attached to the ship controlling it.

I'm talking about a rpg based around being a captain of a ship with several npc crew-mates running the ship. A good example would be almost any scifi show. Think stations in star trek, bsg, etc. Every time I look around now, its some new fighter based space game or maybe you have a huge ship but its just you with no crew and no rpg elements.

I'm dying to have this type of game. Is this type of game just dead? Do I need to hire someone to make it for me? Ha. Oh well, sort of venting.

Anyone else feel the same way? (Now watch how many people still post something about fighter or shooter games)

Just looking for opinions from maybe people who actually own it. I know the developer version is out but after watching a few games, I feel like the kid in me from the 80's finally is witnessing stuff that I dreamed about. I'm pretty sold but just debating if I should get it now or wait for the consumer version.

Any first hand opinions?

OMG.. id be so damn happy if they made a turn based game. To this day, I still have not found anything that game me so much fun as Final Fantasy Tactics.

Some people here must have magical PCs. Me and my friends bought the game and none of us find it playable above Medium settings, at which point it looks significantly worse than Shogun 2.

100% agree.

[QUOTE="Geminon"][QUOTE="jwsoul"] Mate i have had NO p[roblems at ALL! Frame Rate is perfect and all maxed out on high settings! Hmm interesting! KHAndAnime

I mean, graphically - this game's graphics are amazing. It's a huge step up from Shogun 2.

If it was universal then everyone would have the same problem just like everyone sees the same intro, hears the same intro music and hears the same vocals.  Either update your pc, check it for malware/running programs, or do some maintence on it.  Out of habit, everytime I get a new game, I put it on max settings so I'll know when its finally time to replace my gaming laptop.  It hasn't happened yet.  But when it does, I'm not gonna be going around saying its a performance problem with the game.  Talk about denial. 

The game is awful compared to other the TW games. Even if they manage to fix the technical issues, bugs, graphics and performance the game contains so many stupid design choices that it still wouldn't be near the other games in the series imo.

Ok I have zero problems with the game, playing it on max setttings.  Can you list the technical issues, bugs, graphic problems, and performance issues?  Also at what point should a person consider that maybe the problem is on their end? 

Just saying.

I usually don't like Total War games but I like this one.  Not sure how long it will hold my attention though.  Also, I have it on max settings and have utterly no problems at all. 

Ha funny to get recommendations on things I clearly said I'm not interested in.  :)

Anyway, someone recommended King Arthur 2 on another forum.  So I am going to try that out.
