I am so disappointed.

I never played M:TW, not to mention the S:TW online; bad connections. When I got access to faster connections, the golden age of M:TW was at the end and I decided to wait for the Rome; after all, where is the sense in playing Medieval only to shift to Rome - just when I start to be good at M:TW - and be blown away by Rome’s graphics, possibilities and features. I have begun organizing my own clan for Rome, for crying out loud!

And what now? Well, I see all those veterans I was hoping to encounter online in honorable fights cursing the game and wowing not to touch it at all or only to touch it after the patch has come out. By the time I get my clan settled, no one respectable will be playing the damn game, and I can only hope for some “raving fanboys” to fight with!

Oh, yes, I will buy the game. I won’t say otherwise, I know I will buy the game. I have never waited for any game as long and hopeful as I have waited this one (except for Fallout 3, that is, after 5 years been bought off from Interplay by another company and set to status zero: fresh beginning!) and I will buy it and I will play it! And I will hope that the patch will fix the issues at hand very soon.

I will buy the game because I am a stubborn mule. Not because I am an optimist, I have long learned that such a way of thinking is most dangerous one, but I still hope that things will be better.

I will buy the game and play it because I cannot admit to myself that it is (MP part) bad as most of the people say here. In my heart, I know it probably is, but I will buy it anyway.

But I am soooo disappointed and disgruntled and disillusioned…
