M2:TW A Total Failure

[Whacker]

On the contrary Martok, my $0.02 is that this thread is tired and needs a nap. This smacks to me of 'whining' without any substantiation, and simply gives more fuel to the "shut up and deal with it or go away" crowd that can't deal with good criticism. There's a difference between a well thought-out and supported argument and simple bashing.

They ran outta new ideas.If you like to play over and over the same game with change graphics than it's fine,but i want something new,exciting not the same thing with horses and men just chopping heads and arms and shouting for help and killing each other.

Have you ever had a look at other game series or genres?
I could complain about any game that way.
RTS: I don't want to command around units all day long who will fight eachother with weapons...

RPG: it's always the same, you run around collecting things, becoming stronger and beating gradually stronger enemies.

FPS: oh noes, you just get upgraded graphics but you're still running around with weapons shooting people all the time.

life: how bad, you have to go to the toilet all the time, eat all sorts of stuff with different graphics, you even go to work and do all the same stuff day in day out, on top of that you waste about a third of it in a boring phase of regeneration. And the HI is often so competitive, it can be frustrating. This has to be the end of the series, I'm not gonna buy another life.

Thanks for playing the Total War Series and posting on the forums!

Now that you've quit in frustration due to bugs, you don't need to post here anymore, or play the game at all anymore! Allow me to suggest a couple of the game's biggest competetors.

Have fun!

Given that you have played the series starting with shogun... and knowing fully well that M2: TW is a remake of the original medieval on the rtw engine... it beats why you are complaining abt it being the same.

Please don't feed the Troll.

Unlike traditional Dungeons and Dragons Trolls, these ones feed on flames.

I think M2tw is a total failure.It is full of bugs and such.I newer saw such a poor AI and i think this is the end of total war series.

Go back to WoW and Counter Strike 1.6 (yuck, 1.6? Get a life!!! Play Source if you want real CS!). Games to use your brain are too difficult for you.

i agreee on the fact that kingdoms is going to be the total suck. it looks exactly the same as MTW2, and if u look at the screenies of the english campaign map, ull see an english army with all the units cards - which are exactly the same units as the MTW2 english armies :( u mighta thought there could be some originality, like normans, some huscarls remnants...but no. Billmen, English knights. Same old....looking at the screenies, there are alot more of these recurring units...in BI, every single unit was changed, even the roman ones.

why the hell didnt CA make VI2TW??? that would have TOTALLY FRICKIN PWNED! GAH!

Please keep your personal frustration behind the monitor, and not in a public place.

Thank you for your understanding. We appreciate less useless posting.

To be fair, you can't compare Kingdoms to BI.
BI was set during a different era then RTW was hence new looking units.
Kingdoms will be set during the same period as M2TW was however they are more focused campaigns covering more specific events then the grand campaign.
For example, the english campaign, it is set during the same period so of course the english faction will have the same units they had in the grand campaign.
It's the new factions that will get the new troops.

They should find new ideas for the game maybe space battles, maybe monsters or just something because this idea of knights in shiny armor, princesses,kings is really really old.

I wouldn't be against a move to fantasy provided it wasn't the usual Orcs and Elves cliched rubbish. It isn't that hard to create an original fantasy world. I don't know if anyone here every heard of the Seven Kingdoms series, but they were great games and a good example of what I mean.
Lets face it, it would be awesome to see gigantic beasts in battle and flying ones casting a shadow over regiments of men etc.

But to be honest, I don't mind where they take the series. Provided the games are solid and strategic of course.

Then go play "5 more minutes!!!Almost at level 60!!" and leave M2TW.
