CA bashing

**khelvan** · 09-25-2005, 07:09

It may be en vogue, but it gets a little tiresome at times. We wouldn't be modding this game if we didn't feel that improvements can be made, but we have a wonderful platform with which to mod, and while arguments can be made about various things, the fact is that if you didn't like the game at all you wouldn't be here.

So please, don't use this forum as an aggregation point of CA bashing; EB certainly do not fault CA for making a game with mass-market appeal, and I for one am getting a little bit tired of all the anti-CA comments.

Yeah, I can't say I haven't bashed CA myself before when I was modding and wishing that they had lived up to their pre-release promises of making an easily moddable game.

But overall, I think that CA has done a decent job with this game. I mean, after all, they have to make a game that sells. And ultimately there are more players looking for pure historically tangent fun than there are those looking for a thoroughly detailed game with pinpoint historical accuracy.

I mean they do make those types of games, though of course they're turn based and hardly as exciting as the TW series.

It's gonna get a whole lot worse real soon.... some guy in sweden has got BI and been posting screenshots. saxons only have 9 units.... thats right, 9, and that includes peasants (or their equivalent, not sure wat their name is). don't know how many the rest of the factions hav, but even the romans are pretty thin... hopefully everybody won't use the EB forum to talk about the shortcomings of BI.

The total war series by CA is certainly unique and a positive addition to the world of things that allow human beings to waste their time killing pixels. CA bashing is not good but constructive critism is always worthwhile, but Priests come on that’s like going out with a mullet hairstyle.

*shrinks into corner to hide mullet*

yes i admit i have openly participated in CA bashing and i am getting entirely sick of it. especially wen it is not constructive in any way. knowing me when everyone gets going about BI i will probly join in as well, though, so i shouldn't really condemn it now.

Well, it can't really be considered "constructive" when I doubt that anyone at CA even looks at this forum.

All CA bashers: Remember, no CA, no TW, no EB, and no Org.

CA may have some flaws, but that comes from the business machine. It's just the way it is. If money was not involved, than you would have bad-arse game. Oh wait. You will.

Were not bashing CA:Were bashing RTW.

Though i agree that threads made only for the purpose of bashing should be removed. This just isn't the right forum....
