Haven't been excited about a TW game for years, definate Yay!

[hoom]

I await more information about what they are doing on campaign map side & whether it looks like it'll get the immersion of the original.

About where I am :P

[General Malaise]

I voted that I'd get it, but only if it is not Steam exclusive.

[Beskar]

It will be, but there is nothing wrong with Steam anyway. Haven't got a clue why people are upset with the idea.

I don't like paying full price for an electronic download. I'd rather prefer a hard copy, box, manual if I'm gonna shell out $50. And I think regular-copies are more mod-receptive, whereas STEAM versions need to be tweaked around for mods to work (not sure about this, so don't quote me).

Not to mention how much faster install is when using a hard copy vs. download, in my experience anyway.

Anything after S:TW could only disappoint me, ... But I must admit I'm very very curious how this one will turn out. I'll have to try a few battles, but if I like it, hell yeah I'll buy it. :)

[Lord of the Isles]

Nay for me too. I could be willing to change my mind if it gets great reviews from other Orgahs after the usual few months teething problems, but it would have to be great ones to make up for Steam.

[Julius_Nepos]

I voted Nay. However I wish there had been an additional option along the lines of "Nay - not until S2TW is selling for $4.99 in the bargain bin." It's not that I dislike Japanese history, I am merely 100% indifferent to it, and given CA's track record in recent history I'm not going to pay $59.99 for a game based upon an era and region I care nothing about knowing full well it will likely be horrifically bad until its had a years worth of patches. And of course with virtually no modding ability, most of the problems will be unfixable by the community.

So like I said, I have no reason to get this game unless its a bargain price. I don't hate the concept, I just have no interest in it whatsoever. Now, if this was something like Asia Total War, including India, Indonesia, China and what have you, or perhaps a Genghis: Total War, that would be an entirely different story. Alas, CA wasn't forward thinking enough to go that route, oh well.

Hahaha! OLD SKOOL!! :>

I, for one - CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! Brings back so many brilliant memories, I hope they do a good job.

[Jochi Khan]

Looks like all the 'old-timers' will be back playing this one.

Will be nice to see all the old familiar faces again.

When can we expect it to be released???? Hopefully February 2011????

[Kagemusha]

Hopefully soon we have something new to make the old timers feel like home.

[AnthoniusII]

There are many factors that will help me deside if i will buy S2TW.
1ST: Completion. I mean no bugs.
2nd: Steam conection. I didn't buy NTW and ETW because of this fact.
3rd: Accuracy. I know very well that historical accuracy costs a lot but never the less
the game must avoid to put imaginary heros and units.
TW series are the best battle simulators and as such we are fans of them!
4th: Administration system. The "civilisation" type of state managment in ETW was a great
failure. You are not supose to research for things that were known centuries before just
for gameplays shake.
The 1st Shogun had a simple but very good administaration system with 4 seasons and payment
once a year.
The fans want epic battles,clever diplomacy and sabotage options not "research sword",research metal armors kind of silly
things.

I'm not convinced that CA can provide the kind of game I enjoy anymore. Plus I'm almost certain that they are unable to produce either a poduct that isn't bug ridden (some of which may never be fixed) or one that their AI is actually capable of playing. I'm expecting the worst but will be overjoyed to be proved wrong.

[vartan]

Nay. Not in a million years.

Hopefully the emphasis on scaling back S2TW will change the bug and AI issues.
