The only times reviews can be credible is if they're all giving 2 or 3 with very negative comments (ie Citadels). 8.5/10 means that the game is good and it's up to your own taste to decide whether or not you like it. | ||

I just have a feeling there will be annoying niggles in the game. Then again, we always have patches, it is a total war game afterall : D | ||

It's a bad sign :c I haven't found a review website which is remotely credible. Only place you can trust is the consensus of your friends who share your tastes. PcGamer are just as much of a waste of space as any of them. Maybe less blatant bribery but still just as much incompetence! On September 03 2013 19:35 Zealos wrote: Yeah ofc.

I've had 4 crash to desktops, 3 of which were in the tutorial, and a bunch of graphics tearing on both extreme and low settings which is hilarious. I have two very nice computers, one has a radeon and one has a GTI, both of them do the same thing. also I get like 30 FPS on lowest possible settings, same as the fps i get on extreme. Absolutely disgusting. Weird! I can run it perfectly well on almost extreme(although there was one naval battle where it lagged a lot though). I have no ctds so far and no tearing really. I have played for about 3 hours. Don't know why you seem to have as much problems though. | ||

Absolutely disgusting. I haven't had any problems yet. Game runs smoothly in single player and my computer isn't even that good. I get that you're disappointed though. I do wish the battle speed was little slower, but i'm sure mods will fix that over time. Overall first impressions 9/10, but first impressions count for nothing in a game that takes hours and hours just to be competent at. | ||

Definitely. I've put it down as being something i'll get better at over time though. I think its because the UI is trying to be too simple so you have to go hunting around for the deeper data. | ||

He also said the UI was confusing so I am expecting to be bamboozled when I get home. | ||

Unpacking the game now. 6:00 A.M. over here. I slept in, lol. Edit: #%$@, unpack faster. Steam's giving me the "Windows downloader" treatment. Can't hardly sort itself out. >_<' | ||

Played it for an hour or two, don't really like it that much, everything seems a lot more simplified/"consolized" and the game map -- to me, seems less detailed than Shogun2 They did that with the intention of streamlining the late-game. I like the idea in principle, but it will take actual experience to confirm that it works. | ||

I have some issues though: First off, it takes ages for the computer to process the other faction turns. (So many of them..) Second, the game doesn't allow me in the preset graphic setting to go further than medium. I tried the benchmark thingy with high and had 10 fps. My computer is a laptop MSI GT 70 with a i7 3610QM I have a NVDIA GeForce GTX 675M / 2GB GDDR5 4GB RAM DDRIII Any help / adivce? Its the first game i can't put on max settings :/ | ||
