Agreed. I also was very bored with the game, only had 3 hours in it before I had to put it down. You want to talk about cookie-cutter? I mean come on, Shogun 2 couldnt get any more cookie cutter. Everyone was Japanese so everyone had the same swordsmen, same spearmen, and a small variation in some elite units, and even then it was primarily just their banners and names. Why should I pick the Oda clan, or the Chosokabe, besides some random faction bonuses like better farms or swordsmen? I mean come on. Taking a town/castle was the same thing over and over, little variation. And dont mention the incredibly gamey climbing the walls mechanic. Why bother with rams or whatever when you can just climb the walls. Kinda similar problem with the torches in R2TW, but I think its worse in S2TW. And personally I prefer the graphics in R2 but thats just me.
