Not sure if it's just that the sword and spear-combat seem more VISCERAL than muskets?Ħ. I'm finding the battles somewhat LESS satisfying than the previous TW series. The campaign-map does "stutter" now and then, but that's no biggieĥ. The load-times are BLAZING FAST (at least on my machine)Ĥ. The MP matchmaking (NAT-T etc.) works beautifully.ģ. (needless to say I have a kickass internet connection! hehe)Ģ. I got the entire thing via STEAM on release-night/day (March 4th) in just over 2 hrs. I suspect the game will follow in the footsteps of M2TW: a year's worth of patches combined with some heavy modding to make the game as enjoyable as it should be.ġ.
I would think this would be common sense for game companies, especially in these tough economic times.īesides that annoying issue, ETW does seem to be another buggy entry. I am firmly in Stardock/Ironclad's boat: games should be made to run with quality graphics on mid-range systems. Whenever they release a new TW, they always blow the minimum specs out of the water. I can run the game on medium just fine, but like you, I am miffed that ETW requires a practically brand new rig/graphics card to run at high or better (I can run M2TW on high or better). I can't even start the land battle without it freezing on me two seconds in. This is sad too, because I loved all the Total War games, but this game is just unplayable for me.
Worse still, after a few tries and getting it to the worse settings possible and waiting almost ten minutes on the load to the tutorials, I found the graphics to look like shogun total war with the performance of a next-gen fps. I can have a maxed graphics game of Medieval 2 run perfectly, yet I can't even apply a graphics change to this game without it freezing. You have to have steam running.even for the demo.
