    Default So..... I did it......

    Call me a masochist or crazy but I went ahead and pre ordered Attila. I like to jump in on the ground when it comes to games and im sure this one will be as buggy as Rome 2.

    Who else is with me? Anyone?

    I did as well, but really only because I found it for around $33 which I think is a reasonable price. I would not have preordered it if it was not for that. I too really hope this one isnt as buggy upon launch, but I guess we will see in another month and a half.

    I look forward to hearing how it is, I'm holding off this time, but I'm still very much interested in getting it, so I expect to hear lots of details from you guys on launch!

    I haven't actually done so yet, but I'm pretty sure I will at some point before 17 Feb.

    My (perhaps irrationally optimistic) hope is that Attila won't be too buggy if it's really an evolution of R2 rather than a major new installment of the franchise. At least that's my impression based on what I've read here.

    I'm interested in seeing to what degree CA really listened and responded to the customer base...and I want to see what it looks like as it comes out, rather than multiple patches down the road.

    And frankly, I'm also just interested in the new gameplay features, or in some cases, return of some old TW features. Can't wait to decimate an army (led by one of the "Other Family" generals, of course....)

    Don't do it, guys, you just encourage them to invest more on promotional material, at the expense of actually improving the game.

    Totally not shocked.

    I hope it works out better for you.

    And I really hope someone (and I bet someone will) ports Rome 2 to Atilla, so we can play Rome 2 with the features it should have had. The Roman era is the best for TW in my opinion.

    I got another VIP GreenMan Gaming email today w/ Attila listed at $34 bucks, still didn't buy it.

    Sticking to my guns on this one, $20 bucks and patched is my purchase threshold. And best part is, with time, I will get my way. I need to play a Stones wav file....time is on my side, yes it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIE2GAqnFGw

    I haven't yet but I believe I will. The Vikings DLC looks interesting. While Attila looks to be a a souped up Barbarian Invasion, as long as they don't go overboard on detailed micro-management it looks like it will be fun to play through.

    I wouldn't preorder any PC game if it were the cure for cancer and a harem of playboy bunnies combined. I WILL probably spend my money right after launch though and regret it (Civilisation: Beyond Earth comes to mind)

    No mention of the 7 seals, something tells me that CA abandoned her plan about the Apocalypse and with no special events they made the Huns playable.

    Also glad to see that the King of Khwarezm is Assyrian while the satrap of Gedrosia comes from Sumeria.

    My system doesn't meet the required specs so it's easy for me to say don't encourage the practise of pre ordering. Looking forward to how Attila is when released. When it comes to the time to upgrade I'm sure to get it when the time comes.

    To be fair, we just got the first definite proof of the Huns being playable today, and apparently Attila doesnt show up until a bit later so Im just waiting for the official faction preview before I pass judgement.
