It better be good!

Anything after S:TW could only disappoint me, ... But I must admit I'm very very curious how this one will turn out. I'll have to try a few battles, but if I like it, hell yeah I'll buy it. :)
Nay for me too. I could be willing to change my mind if it gets great reviews from other Orgahs after the usual few months teething problems, but it would have to be great ones to make up for Steam.
I voted Nay. However I wish there had been an additional option along the lines of "Nay - not until S2TW is selling for $4.99 in the bargain bin." It's not that I dislike Japanese history, I am merely 100% indifferent to it, and given CA's track record in recent history I'm not going to pay $59.99 for a game based upon an era and region I care nothing about knowing full well it will likely be horrifically bad until its had a years worth of patches. And of course with virtually no modding ability, most of the problems will be unfixable by the community.
So like I said, I have no reason to get this game unless its a bargain price. I don't hate the concept, I just have no interest in it whatsoever. Now, if this was something like Asia Total War, including India, Indonesia, China and what have you, or perhaps a Genghis: Total War, that would be an entirely different story. Alas, CA wasn't forward thinking enough to go that route, oh well.
for me stw2 will be a real break in believing CA and their propoganda machine..... if they dont manage to make this anniversary release very special esp multiplayerwise i have to give up..... and yes a genghis: total war will certainly result in buying another release as well :)
I will buy it because no other company is coming close to what TW is doing, so it's all I have in options right now and I don't think STW2 will be that bad. Other companies have tried and fail though... and the others out there are a bit different. TW remains the boss with no challengers right now.
They do say a lot of BS, but so do 90% of the gaming companies making promises they don't keep as well as hardly changing at all in some areas with their game.
As long as the gameplay is decent all is good... I never played the TW games for the ERA, historical accuracy, or realism. It's a game and not real life and will always be that, so for me it's mostly gameplay and balance. I do prefer some ERAs over another, but it comes down to how well the game plays in the end.
NTW is mostly a shoot out which isn't my thing, but it's a decent game and could be better. It's flaws and poor controls and much needed features might carry over the STW2 which has me worried the most.
Requoting myself, but it seems so far that NTW is doing well to keep my attention. So that is a promising thing for S2TW. But I can only agree with AMP and share his worry.Quote:

If the game is truly good and has amazing potential to be unlocked, someone, somewhere will make a modding tool and there will be mods of it. I enjoyed RTW and M2TW, but I couldn't even play Empire for a week before I gave up on it. I feel bad for the relative who bought it for me for my birthday.
Like I said in the frontroom, this game is close to being a do or die moment. If this game sucks, they have lost a lot of their fans, if it is good then they are making progress.
After buying M2TW on release and struggling through all the various bugs until we finally got a decent game from the modding community I watched the community reaction to ETW carefully, deciding not to buy it until it was fully patched and seemed to be working correctly. So I finally bit the bullet and started playing it the other day and I'm glad I waited. I'll do the same with this game.
Can we have a Yay, but it will be really buggy.
My first and most passionate love was STW...i still remember the ad in the gaming magazine that thrilled me. Hell yea im buying this and it will be good and im going to play it into the ground as well as whatever mods come to it as well. Nice to see some of you again. For many fond memories its good to be back.
