    Default Rome 2 on sale for $26.97

    Link is here at Get Games. I actually used this site to pre-order so its pretty cheap now I would say, and very well worth it now for this price.

    Me? Of course not.

    But then again, I was "one of those guys" who was very critical of CA and the game itself before release based on the previews. Many called me out for it...

    I'd like to say that $26.97 is a good deal for this game. But it isn't. You're better off spending $7.48 (http://www.amazon.com/Rome-Total-War-PC/dp/B0002MPT6Q) on RTWI and loading up the RS2 mod. It is much better. Rome II is to Rome I, what Diablo 3 is to Diablo 2. Rome II and Diablo 3 are the most disappointing games I've ever played. They aren't terrible games alone, but when compared to their predecessors, and to their potential, they fall so short.

    CA needs to not just fix the bugs in RTWII, they need to fix many of the game design decisions.

    Agreed, and as the most recent DLC has shown, they dont really give a about their fans.

    To be fair, the new lead dev has improved D3 a great deal. The most recent patch (2.1) seems great, and the expansion also seems awesome. The snakes DLC? Not so much.

    These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth;
    (4) The Commander; (5) Method and discipline.
