Napoleon Total War. I believe it's out. No excitement here?

Castout · 02-19-10, 05:22 AM

After so long unable to access twcenter.net today I found out that the page could load fine and I found out that Napoleon Total War is out!

I wonder why the quietness around here on Napoleon Total War. Is everybody too busy with Mass effect 2?

. Damn the sex scenes

.

Here's IGN Video review
http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/27042/...0.html?show=hi

I haven't taken a look at the video review though, probably tomorrow.

Edit: Seems my relief in regard with twcenter is premature I'm unable to access the site anymore.

It's not out yet...

After the problems with ETW, ctd's and such. And the announcment of Napoleon Total War so soon after the release of ETW despite the problems with it... No thanks.

And if they could fix the bloody mouse issues with nVidia 8000 and later graphic cards that plague Shogun Total War and Medieval Total War. Both are still sold in Total War Eras.

None of their titles come close to the quality of Medieval (1): Total War!! It's so good it doesn't really need modding either, but mods made it even better!

Rome Total War comes in second but MTW is still the best.

Have had enough of rifles to be honest, much prefer the melee in Rome, Med2 was mostly melee as well.

NTW seems more like an expansion or mod for ETW to me, but we'll see.

In its day Shogun total war was a top notch game.

Good times...

NTW, I won't be getting it that soon...learning from ETW patching and gamebreaking bugs it gave me I wait a little while before I purchase.

By far it was my favorite. I wish they would remake it.

Me too! Bring back swords, axes, spears and above all else: bows. I fear we wont see that though, as they will probably try to develop their new ballistic system.

Rome: Total War 2, its all I need.

Hmm then the IGN video title is quite misleading

Agree to me Shogun was the best of them all. I look forward to Shogun II Total War in fact. I hope they would decide to make it.

@HunterICX
Well as for empire I never had a CTD with it since the first day it came out but by the time the game was available here there were already several patches so I would not know best.

The only gripe I have is the poor battle AI. Scale wise I think Empire is probably the biggest Total War game there is if you consider that it allows you to play the naval portion of the battle. Of course CA took some shortcuts too so all nations have the same kind of ships with exactly the same stats and more or less the same too with the army.

This.

What are the specs on it? I'm debating what to do with my old comp?

raymond6751 · 05-09-10, 03:35 PM

I won't buy any title that has any association with Steam.

That is just my decision. I had all the hassles that I care to with them.

onelifecrisis · 06-24-10, 09:17 AM

The Creative Assembly are not getting another penny from me. I bought Empire a year ago and I've not yet been able to play it due to a well-known nVidia driver issue that both nVidia and TCA seem happy to ignore indefinitely. I could play it by rolling all the way back to some prehistoric driver which, I gather, did not have the problem... but then I wouldn't be able to play any of the games I've bought in the last two years except for Empire! Screw that.

Arclight · 06-24-10, 09:47 AM

I had a similar sentiment towards Napoleon: if Napoleon is what Empire was supposed to be, then why the hell haven't they fixed Empire yet? Not buying Napoleon untill they fix Empire.

Shogun 2 though... can't resist that one.

I've never had any problem with Empire, besides the obvious design problems, even with the original release version. The AI was troublesome, of course, but I heard it got much better since the patch they released after NTW (Though I haven't played that yet).
