the game lacks soul.
It doesnt make you want to keep playing. I have not experienced it since Rome 1 to be honest with you. Medieval 1 i finished the game with every single faction full map domination. Rome 1 I did the same. When I first got Rome 2 I did the prologue and started a Rome Camp. 20 turns later, nothing had happened, except me killing the Etruscans, I was bored and I stopped playing. I expected to be up till the early hours of the morning, playing i was in bed by like 11pm.
You just dont get that 1 more turn itis like in previous games. It doesnt suck you in. I have only experienced it 3 times. First time, playing parthia, for hte first 50 turns that campaign was hectic and fun. I wanted to keep playing it. Second time was my ongoing multiplayer camp with my mate. always good to get a few more turns done, just cos we are destroying everything in our paths! thrid time was playing my Macedon campaign. been enjoying it, but its still lacking something that draws you in!
Dont get me wrong I still love it, and still keep playing it. but I play for an hour then get off. When I used to play rome 1, I would play and realise I had been on for 5 hours and it was 3 am :D
