Cyborg Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Shogun 2 : Total War Published by: SEGA Developed by: Creative Assembly Genre: Strategy Release Date: TBA IGN World Exclusive Reveal It's been one of my basic assumptions here at IGN that there is no such thing as the "perfect" game. No matter how ambitious a designer's ideas might be, they will eventually encounter the limitations imposed by time, money or technology. While the results of working within these limitations can often be sublime, there's not a designer in this industry that hasn't wished for just a little bit more of whatever it would take to make their game better. Some of you might see that way of thinking as a reason to despair but I see it as a fundamental expression of hope and limitless potential for the PC development environment. It is, in my opinion, a fundamental belief for any fan of PC games. Full article here Announcement Trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Wow, look at all the excitement on this thread. So how many here are getting this?

Noctis Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Done - and in all fairness, how many are going to play it? Total war is a pretty big franchise, beating even shooters in world wide sales. Here is hoping at least a couple of gamers here will get this.

I think ill get that thing if its not too pricey... any idea where to get it and price??.. If you enjoyed Medieval 2 then you will probably love this. I have been playing from their first game Shogun and I think Medieval 2 was one of their less impressive titles compared to the likes of Rome. Empire was a disaster on some aspects as well and it looks like CA is finally correcting their mistakes and bringing out another masterpiece. Sega has only started to announce the various retailers selling various versions of Shogun 2 (there are 4 - standard, limited, collectors and grandmaster). So far this is only available on Game for 69 pounds. Hopefully better deals will come out as more retailers starts listing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Woah. Sweet CE. Price aint bad either. PC RTSs do get some kick a*s CEs. The one for Anno was awesome too. Still need to get the last two TW games though, on my to do list for ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Still need to get the last two TW games though, on my to do list for ever. This is coming from a TW fan, but you can skip the last two games safely. The settings of Empire and Napoleon weren't really suited for the TW format IMO.

relentless_rock Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 ^^ u said Medieval 2 to be least impressive, but I loved it to bits. Still at times I engage myself in its Grand Campaign mode . The one that I didnt like much was Empire Total war campaign, despite having India (Marathas) as a playable faction, it was just way too overcomplicated. Few annoyances were like individual structural buildings getting conquered, loss on trade income not subjected to blockading of port but a pirate ship stationed anywhere on the map near the trade route. to play this awesome game i would need to buy a new pc. I won't even give it a though for any other pc game, but this one sure tempts me a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I spent some 100-200 hours on Medieval 2 and still players it, doesn't mean I didn't like it. I said least impressive because they just copy pasted Rome's format and simply the changed the nations/units to match the age, without capturing the essence of warfare in medieval Europe. There were no standing armies or completely centralized ruling during that time. Being set in the feudal period, its a shame the game did not factor in feudalism in any way at all. But it was still definitely fun. btw, what are your specs? You might still be able to run it in DX9/DX10 modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the Limited edition listed on game.co.uk (for 70 pounds)? But that does not have the figurine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Are you talking about the Limited edition listed on game.co.uk (for 70 pounds)? But that does not have the figurine. The details are not put up properly yet, and different sites are giving different descriptions. It is possible that the Art of War replica + figurine and chess set might be for different LEs, and grandmaster edition comes with both. Let see. And nothing has been announced for the US yet, it would most likely be cheaper there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was still definitely fun. btw, what are your specs? You might still be able to run it in DX9/DX10 modes. Medieval 2 was my 1st TW series game and then followed it up with RTW and expansions. The real time battles were indeed more fun in RTW, but the capaign lacked the many random events that happened in Medieval 2. Yes, maybe they got overinvolved with just the religion aspect and ignored others, but i preferred this than the clutter they gave in Empire TW. My gaming laptop is giving probs, and the pc is way too underpowered to run this game. Are there any playable factions confirmed outside Japan for this game?
