bakester17 They did not. No sir. Shogun 2 is an improvement on earlier titles and on rome 2. If you're not a fan of the series since rome 1 it won't hurt as bad. You won't even know anything's that bad if you're completely new. But they stripped many features that were core to the series, used an engine that turned infantry combat into a nightmare before your very eyes, and left a lot to be desired where improvements could have been abundant.

I disagree, I think Shogun 2 while good is only middle of the road in the series. Rome 2, Empire and Medieval 2 are better imo. I say this based on the games as they are now not as they were at release. The biggest thing for Shogun 2 is its time period which rocks but everything else about it is pretty bad. Medieval 2 and Empire the AI cheats but the level at which the AI cheats in Shogun 2 is horrific, e.g im playing it atm on hard as Shimazu and I own all of Kyushu, ive invaded Shikoku owning the 2 provinces, the Chosokabe have the other 2 and they have 2 full banner armies made up exclusively of Samurai not a single Ashiguru on top of this they have 2 huge navies made up of Sengoku Bane, I can barely support this with 4 times the provinces, they dont even have any trade partners I have 4. The game is not that well optimized, I can have 4+ full banner armies on Rome 2 with settings maxed and running at triple speed, with 2 full banners on Shogun 2 i cant even run at triple speed without the frame rate tanking. The game after 20 turns is just 4-6 huge clans on my game there are 5 left after 38 turns with Chosakabe dead it will be 4! Diplomacy is horrible too i mean i offer Chosakabe peace and despite them having only 2 territory left they say no, but then again if I had unlimited money id say no too. Dont get me wrong its a decent game, but too many rose colored glasses are worn when talking about Shogun 2.

@roboticapplesauce395

9 жыл бұрын

callum flude dude, you had some valid points, and then you mentioned rome 2. Come on, that game REQUIRES rose colored glasses to be considered worthwhile. For its time and even still to date Shogun 2 pulled almost everything together that the series is trying to do. You have to at least realize that it was the most polished of the franchise right?

@thunderbug8640

9 жыл бұрын

RoboticApplesauce "Polished" is used in so many different ways by so many different people i dont tend to use the word if you can clarify what you yourself mean by polished I could answer your question a bit better. But fast battles, super agents, op archers, bad AI, bad diplomacy (all things ive seen people complain about Rome 2 for) are basically the exact same in Shogun 2, especially the fast battles and if anything archers in Shogun 2 are even stronger comparatively to their Rome 2 cousins Samurai Archers in numbers of 4-5 squads can pretty much take out a unit with one volley. The Ai gets a boost in Rome 2 sure in terms of economy but its a fixed amount of something like 800-1000 for the smaller factions its in the game files but in Shogun 2 the AI cheats like a mother fucker, the Chosokabe i mentioned in my earlier comment, literally one hour ago when i was playing (keep in mind they have 2 settlements left) I destroyed their 2 full banner armies (full of samurai) when they attacked a fort i own, I lost a lot of my troops but figured hey at least they take time to rebuild what they lost but nope before I had even recovered from that last attack another full stack of samurai attacked me lol needless to say I lost the town, unless they were somehow supporting 60 units of Samurai of off 2 towns then they just pulled that army out of their ass, but tbh this isnt new news people have known about the AI spawning armies for ages. People complained that Rome 2 had too fast battles but Shogun 2 has the exact same battles. example that 2 v 1 i mentioned a bit a go contained about 6000 troops and was over in about 10 mins. Sure Rome 2 has a worse interface especially when generals level up etc but it has so many thing which are better than Shogun 2, for example Rome 2 you get 2-4 cities= 1 province, control the province get a bonus (edict) this is without a doubt the best settlement system a total war game has had to date.

callum flude Fair enough, by polished i simply mean implementing the games concepts in such a way that they work as intended. While some mechanics may be not fleshed out, or slightly unbalanced, the game is still what the developers envisioned. Shogun 2 might not be perfect but one cant deny that it is a finished game with many of its main and most side mechanics working fluidly enough that the majority of people who have played it can understand the difference in play-ability when comparing this game and Rome 2. The biggest problem is that even after the patches Rome 2 still does not behave like a complete game, with certain parts or sequences feeling rushed or incomplete. As Joe said in his Rome 2 video its a general problem in game development these days that developers are rushed for a final product. That said, we as a community don't have to accept that and in fact we should be calling out flaws. Rome 2 is a clear downgrade from Shogun 2, maybe not in technology but definitely in at least Combat AI, Menu design, and overall streamlining (waiting five minutes for the AI to finish their turns is absolutely exhausting). While i understand, and actually agree with many of your problems with game balancing, you cant compare them to the incredible glitchy marvel to unfinished game design that Rome 2 represents. Thank you for fleshing out the discussion, its nice to have a good KZread debate every now and then :)

Rome 1, Medieval 2, Shogun 2 and Warhammer are the best. My only problem with Warhammer is that battles are way too short.

This is the only Total War game that makes me totally submerged into the world. I played like 200+ hours on Rome 2 and Attila, but 1500+ hours on Shogun 2.

I actually went back and played a domination campaign on legendary mode in Shogun II due to how bad Rome II sucked. Let's see if CA can fix that mess, since the idea and direction isn't bad (except for that damn flag), but the game is just too buggy and the ai too stupid.

thank you for your review. I played the older version of total war and this is light years away!!. I started playing total war 2. I was quite versed in the older version. Very impressed with the graphics of the present game . I am disappointed though that no matter how low the difficulty level I am unable to make any progress. I am always stuck with poor economy, hunger and no allies no matter how hard and early I try. Never make a harbor quick enough to secure a trading rout. Its like I am playing at the most difficult level , yet I am at "normal". Can you suggest what I am doing wrong??

I have watched this about four times in the last six hours, I have no plans to stop watching this. Honestly, the Geisha moment might be my favorite thing on youtube, I genuinely laughed at that. This is one of my favorite games of all time. I have played thousands of hours of it and I have never been bored once. Each time I am able to strategically play the game with enough distinction that even if I played the Takeda a hundred times I would be satisfied that I hadn't played the game the same way twice.

On Shogun 2 I generally play with one large army and my settlement defended with a garrison for my buildings to save money, then use ninjas and geisha to halt armies, on rise of the samurai this is easier due to junatsuchi being able to ask for the allegiance of enemy provinces if they support your clan, this can be done by simply having your junatsuchi in their territory.

"allies" and backstabbing or just having your allies watch as you get slaughtered, may not actually be a lack in the ai but rather a realistic way of showing that you can't trust any other clan really. e.g. i had conquered 3 or 4 enemy factions together with the uesugi and shortly after they stabbed me in the back where it hurt most. so generally the best tactic is to betray your allies before they can do the same to you :)

Your allies won't turn against you, not right away but if pay attention to their relation status with you, you will notice it going down fast to Hostile. You will also notice your ally or allies dragging their feet more and being less willing to help you. Basically, think of it this way: everyone wants to be Shogun and that means they won't help someone else get it.

What were promised in the trailer and the "magical flags" we got now are 2 completely different thing: In that Cartharge seige trailer for R2, they promised us a capture points system so each capture means something (bonuses, morale boosts, etc. which were already in custom battles in S2), and all we got a random magical flags out of nowhere thing instead. R2TW is unfinished game and we are paid 60$ to beta-test.

where did you get the armor? please tell me.

what was ever wrong with empire total war? there wernt any bugs in the 30 hours i played.

***** It's because the warscape engine is terrible and doesn't compliment melee combat, even here in Shogun 2. I don't like this 1v1 scripted bullshit, it rustles my jimmies badly. What's worse is Rome II doesn't care about fixing bugs, just DLC whoring.

Lot's of things were wrong but IMO the thing which did not get enough attention were the siege battles. Empire and Napoleon's siege battles are the worst in the series and a complete joke. In previous games a fort could allow a much smaller army survive an attack by a much larger one and at the very least force you to play differently and think carefully and forts in different parts of the world were different maps entirely and also depended on how the settlement was upgraded . In Napoleon and Empire it's just two forts, the Star forts from Renaissance Italy, just fantastic. Yes the ME factions had different forts but they were still the same thing just different skins. The main issue though was on the one hand every fort was the same, it didn't matter if you were attacking Paris or Innsbruck the forts were the same, no city streets, no buildings, just the same walls surrounding a couple of military houses. On top of this forts gave little advantage to the defender, every infantry unit can climb up the walls without needing a ladder because they had grappling hooks, so there goes the strategy behind siege towers and ladders and hello to having to defend every single spot on the fort removing any advantage it could've had. The fort walls provide cannons for infantry on them, but they can't shift left and right so all the attacker has to do is attack the corner. On top of this once the enemy has taken the walls it was over because there was nothing inside the fort, in Medieval 2 that could very well have only been the first step and then even more intense fighting awaited the enemy inside. On top of this attacking a settlement was very dumbed down to the point that there was no longer any difference between attacking a settlement and attacking out in the open unless the player or the AI invested the money into building a fort, which they rarely did, for the AI because it doesn't like to invest the money in that and the player because most players hated playing siege battles. It sucked because what really would've made the game better would've been unique maps to settlements so that attacking Constantinople had a realistic map which well mirrored the real Constantinople, a city surrounded by water and with thick levels of walls surrounding it. A map like that would require naval and land units so Medieval 2 couldn't do it. The forts in Empire/Napoleon would've been great and made alot of sense if they were some frontier fort like at the border or in the America's, but it doesn't make any sense for anything else, not even for a tiny city. Empire/Napoleon could've at least created a unique siege battle for Vienna, Berlin, Paris, Moscow and London. But instead attacking one of them was the same as attacking the other, the factions were different but there was no unique units that came to play, the King himself wouldn't be on the battlefield to protect his capital (ok Moscow was the not the capital of Russia at the time). The worst part is is that they were rare, so the game knows how much they suck and avoids siege battles as much as possible meaning even CA knew how much they sucked.

Am I the only one who thinks Medieval 2 is the best totalwar game up to now? It IS followed by shogun 2 in my eyes but i like medieval 2 more, i know it sounds odd but i like medieval 2's graphics more, it's like CS:S or CS 1.6 vs CS:GO to me, a lot of people like both but most agree that old is gold :D

Will make a note to try this sometime, might be the game to make me care about total war outside of Rome 1 and Medieval 2

Looks Like Total Lag II to me. Wanting to play but wondering how my i5 4210u 2.4 ghz will fare on this. I have gtx 850m but I hear game is pretty demanding on CPU ?

I bought Empire Total War on steam recently and I'm really enjoying it. A huge patch was released in 2012 I think that fixed a lot of the games bugs. Also, if you do get the game now. Download the darthmod as it improves a lot on the games features.

That game is 100% shit. Don't believe me, I can make multiple paragraph's on why its shit.

Indeed, the game is great. I started out with getting the game on sale with all DLC (best choice I ever made, great game for a great price), and as I played and even modded the game, I fell in love with it, and now I have the Fall of the Samurai DLC and the DLC for said DLC (Yes, it is one of those weird things where a DLC has its own DLC) and I am about to see if the DLC is just as great as the main game and the Rise of the Samurai DLC.

Joe! you said you were worried about what to come next, seems like you're spot on!

my favorite is still medieval 2 total war

I want fall of the samurai so bad, but is it better than my precious shogun 2? Angry Joe pls review FOTS

what movie clip was that from in the intro?

Okay so, i've only played this Total War and I thought it did a really good job (with the exception of the diplomacy AI and... well the AI in general at times). Why exactly do other people think this game sucks in comparison to games like Rome 1 Total War or Medieval II: Total War, what do they offer and do well that this game doesn't?

Mostly complaints that it offers less unit and faction variety. I guess also the more streamlined family tree, although you get so few generals that it makes them more valuable. Then there are the fringe contingent who says that Total War should always stay European because....I don't know.

Nah. I forget the name of the one you're thinking of, but that one was between the Oda and Imagawa clans. Nobunaga attacked at night and sneaked into their camp. That was when he was a teenager too, IIRC. So somewhere around 1550.
