Perhaps some positive posts in the Sword Dojo would be more appropriate then?

" I won't buy it " has been said so often, along with " I'll wait to find out what it's like "

Maybe the people who DO buy it should keep the information to themselves?

Those of us who happen to be optimistic could quite easily ask what is the point in posting about a game you do not enjoy? If you do not like it then do not play it but it seems pointless to just keep on saying RTW is crap! RTW is crap! RTW is crap!

Captain Fishpants, I guess you guys at CA have very thick skin or a bloody good sense of humour! It would be nice if BI turned out to be perfect but you know as well as I do that there would still be criticism.

Yep, the programmers at Ca do have fairly thick skin. despite the fact that all their PR people/moderators are so...well...sensitive...

I love Shogun,
I really like MTW.

I was riped off when i bought RTW and did not get 1/10th of my moneys worth so I am entiteld to my say,
Just like the people who like the game are entitled to theirs.

I disslike the unfinished game, and have mearly stated fact in a polite manner,
If you dissagree that is fine,
But if you dont wish to see posts Where people say I disslike rome,
and so on.

Then i sudgest you stop visiting forums where people voice there oppinions

Aslong as people say they like it i will say i disslike it,
Other wize it just makes the game look impecable,
Which is not the truth,

Please note That I have not 1ce said i disslike either of the other games or expantions,
and to that matter, have never dissliked ANY other game that i have purchased.
And I have also siad had they bothered to finish rome, Or atlest released a patch to TRY and fix the problems Prehaps I would even like rome,

I do not like seeing People throw their money away,
I do not like the way they release unfinished games for full price then expect people to buy the expantion,
So i will make shure Both sides of the story are well known to all

i think people are just sick of reading the same thing everytime you make a post, youve had your say, and we all have probably got most of it memorized by now. maybe you should spend more time in the stw and mtw forums, as i think you`ll get less worked up in there.

LOL. reading several of the posts here have given me a chuckle. I've played STW, MTW and RTW (along with their expansions) since they each came out. When you've been reading these boards and others for that long you realize that what people today are saying about RTW is pretty much the same as what people were saying about MTW when they were waiting for the expansion. Same is true about what people were saying about STW while waiting for its expansion. I'd expect that when CA comes out with the next TW game, people will then be saying about it what they are now saying about RTW. The difference is that they'll most likely be saying "X:TW isn't nearly as finished as STW, MTW and RTW were. They were good games...."

Personally, I'll look towards CA's track record with the TW game series, as well as their expansions, to base my expectations of RTW:BI. If people take the time to look back over the series as a whole, they'll realize that CA has been remarkably consistent in what/how they've done things. How many patches, when they occur, what type of things get changed/improved in the expansion, etc. So far I've been happy. Have all of TW games been perfect? Nope, every one of them has had things that I'd have liked to be different, and I'll happily post that I'd like to see such-and-such change. But the bottom line is I've yet to see anyone else put out a game in TW category that comes close.

Oh, and I can remember people calling VI as a featureless expansion also. Seems that people have changed their mind now...

There's a saying, hind sight is 20/20. The difference is VI is out and BI isn't. VI is a known quantity, BI isn't. VI added many good things to MTW, BI will probably do the same for RTW.

I dont get worked up over this issue,
but it seems my points hit a nerve with you,
prehaps you are the one who should not come here and not I
as it is indeed you who is being worked up.

If your happy to throw your money away on unfinished products then so be it,

However i dont beleve you should be giving 1st time buyers the wrong impression about this game,
and the lack of suport for end users.
Neither Should you be allowing activision and ca the right to release un finished games without needing to patch them

I blame ca as they never released more than v102 when ea published STW and now sega are rumored to take over,

Now we all know EA are buying up almost every game there is,
So why are people throwing Total war around like a hot potato, if CA are so Great,
If they havent got the time to finish the game,
Then they should not release it,
Or they should have the decency to patch the game.

I cant blame the publishers as they have released many great games,
Ea have released many great games, So have activision.
And they patch them relitivly well
(not that most of there games usualy need a patch)
I guess ca need to work harder or something,
Becous if sega get the games then say they dont want them,
Who will?

Thats a very mature response from you Shambles. Also, the only thing working me up is your terrible spelling and grammar. Say what you like about Rome mate, however please try and vary your responses to members posts as repeating yourself over and over again will not somehow magically make your opinion correct and everyone elses wrong.
