Do you mean it went from a five stage tree to a four stage tree? because really thats just only slightly condensed. 6) Console gaming hasn't had new hardware in seven years consequently pc users haven't experienced as much graphical advance as they could have, therefor getting newer and better hardware has been less of a concern to most people, so CA was trying to make sure it was accessible to as much of the PC market as they could. now please people before anyone goes and crucifies me for defending CA at this time realize i am not saying rome doesn't have issues but that those issues are not related to a console port coming in the foreseeable future. | ||

If enough people do that, i'd guess companies will stop releasing half-finished games since i can't believe that from a business standpoint half the money is better then all the money. | ||

If enough people do that, i'd guess companies will stop releasing half-finished games since i can't believe that from a business standpoint half the money is better then all the money. The problem is that it has become acceptable practice in the gaming industry to shower preorderers with bonuses. In the good old days, a preorder guaranteed you the game on release date. Hell, you might even get a cool item with the game, like a map. Nowadays? How about a whole bunch of DLCs which everyone else will have to pay out of their ass to get. Wait, I know, let's give out one free DLC for each game store, so that EVERYONE will be forced to not only preorder, but also buy a bunch of DLCs! | ||

Shogun 2 at release was also quite a mess, and the corrupted saves bug annoyed the crap out of me. I am using the "don't preorder and don't buy on release day" if i am not 100% the game is what i want. I just called some of those who travel the seven seas and tested it. I will buy it when it is on a better shape and a better price, because i know in a year or a bit more, the game will be amazing. But i am fucking tired of games that get out for sale on a obvious unfinished state. | ||

To me, day 1 DLC says "Don't buy this before it gets a big discount for the whole pack" I saved 15 bucks off the original purchase by preordering; the day 1 DLC was simply an added bonus, lol. It'll be even cheaper and better-running next summer, though, when they sell everything up to that point for only $30 in a sale. | ||

The game is poorly polished and many features are missing or bad. For both consoles and PC. It isn't a Diablo 3 where everything was working smoothly but some stuff where designed with a console port, gamepad in mind, (like the 6 skills thing); it's a poorly optimized/polished game with lots of bugs, period. i didnt mean this particular game, but rather near future tw releases. but who knows. | ||
