It was pretty good. The aesthetics, lighting and art direction of the game itself was great too.Unlike that piece of shit r2
>>265691706
I still don't fully understand how they managed to degrade the series to that point.

Never finished the game, but that track is god tier.

I'm sure there's resources available that educate on warfare. You can even read Art Of War and try to implement it to the game, hah.
>>265692689Never played it.Looks eerie as fuck though.
>>265692893
That quake one makes me want to replay all Quake games.
As for DOW - good taste.

It wasn't even just the Cinematic Trailer, everything about the entire opening sequence of the game, right to those fucking opening credits. From the presentation to the Music, it was fucking stellar.
It's rare for the opening of a game to completely suck me in to the point where I would have played the rest even if it went to complete shit, and Human Revolution had that feeling (Although thankfully it didn't go to shit).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UvCYpmsfNE

>>265693965

Medieval Total War 2 is great IMO (except the AI but thats a given for TW)
You knew Rome 2 was going to be garbage when it didn't have the same quality intros as the previous games.

>>265692641
I seriously don't understand how they made Rome 2 look so much worse than Shogun 2. How did they fuck it up so badly?
Hellgate: London had a god tier opening.
It's a shame the game was shit, I enjoyed the first person dungeon crawling at first, but then the grind set in.

My lucid dreams only last for a few seconds because I can't figure out what is happening and why it is.
I usually start the dream with me in it, then I just realize it is a dream, like a natural feeling.
Almost naturally I put my hands forward and start flying like Superman would, and then my eyelids a few seconds later start to droop down and I can't do anything about it. When my eyes close I wake up. I'm not sure if I am just having dreams about having lucid dreams or if there is a way to fix my eyelids being weighed down.

>>265701294
to be honest i don't expect much...
tw series were my favorite series of all time in any platform, but after rome 2 i kind lost most of my confidence on the series as a whole.
and they're using the same broken engine to develop that standalone expansion.
i hope if follows the path of the fall of the samurai dlc but i'm not sure they will deliver

>mfw loading up Shogun 2 for the first time
>>265701897
Do you have the WRE edit?
>>265694818
consider getting darthmod after completing the vanilla campaign - it overhauls most of the game without going too farunlike most "realistic" mods in which you'll have 300 men shooting other 300 men at 60 paces and kill 1 or 2 guys after delivering a mass voley
also, lower the grass detail/unit detail/shadows to get a huge fps boost.
>>265701912
i'm trying to enjoy it but i simply can't... the battles are still weak for a tw game, the graphics (specially on the campaign map) are ps2tier but run like shitthey fixed the fps on the battles but the battles aren't just fun so far, but i haven't played more than 50 turns; i have to assume i hope they get better but i'm not betting on it
>>265701912
really?
I re-installed it again for the Emperor edition, played it for about an hour and then uninstalled it again. It wasn't like it felt shit, it just didn't grab me and didn't feel like anything drastic had changed, whereas if I start playing a campaign of Medieval 2 I won't stop until the next day

The units just don't hold formation properly, they blob. Rome 1 and Medieval 2 still have by far the most tight battle mechanics of the series.
I also hate the province and building system in R2 with a burning passion.
>>265709658
To add to this, the game lacks personally horribly. Everything just feels so painfully generic.

He was just unlucky as fuck.
>>265709658
Medieval 2 units don't hold formation properly either unless you charge both units directly into each other like >>265711508
If one unit is charging another that's stationary (because it's already in combat) they do a retarded thing where all the soldiers stop 5 feet in front of the enemy. Then like 10 guys walk out and engage in 1v1 fighting until they die, more soldiers step forward as they die, etc.
