We were all fooled into thinking games would be far cheaper when sold digitally. | ||

But either you just say fuck retailers, or you, as a publisher, have to shallow it to be able to sell your console games. | ||

As long as that + some bugs are all that's wrong, then I am fucking excited!!! Man I actually can't believe this is happening, like I genuinely have been hoping for this for years, with an intensity and fervour that surpasses almost all other desire I have had for other games. | ||

Wtf. | ||

Wtf. That's one of those things where I'll just have to wait and see what's going on when I start playing. I definitely understand the general complaint of "WTF does all this shit do and mean." | ||

Well, as one person on another forum posted, that's what happens when you have a bunch of CoD players reviewing complex games. | ||

The dude was complaining about not knowing what Zeal is, and having to mouseover the stat Zeal to understand what it actually does. Man, we used to fucking read the manuals to know that kind of shit back in my day. 100-300 small pages manuals, that you read flying because you were so fucking excited about how much stuff the game had. | ||

I think it was more that the upgrade that gave Zeal didn't tell you anything else like it's an ability or where to find more details. Sure, it's a minor complaint that is easily glossed over by looking in the manual or online wiki, but a little additional info wouldn't hurt. | ||

All they do is sell out to publishers and employ retards IGN has listed Rome I as one of the 10 most influential, and one of their favorite, PC games of all time. I agree that they sell-out on a lot of titles, but they're genuine fans of Total War. | ||

I really hate when people give review when they clearly are not in the position to do so. | ||
