Medieval Total War 2

[Articula]

Anyone playing? Its an amazing game. I plan on posting some fraps when I render them of some of the battles I've encountered so far.

[Grindrolas]

Yep, playing it here, never been able to finish the Total War games though, too long.

[Damascus]

Total War games are always good. Each one just builds on the last...you don't need to finish them to enjoy them though. I never finished Rome, just reveled in sending an assassin with the plague in to wipe out Greece.

And stomping out royal bloodlines by surrounding family members as they travel between towns and assaulting them from all sides with cavalry. Lol I love being Roman.

Oh yeah, Medieval 2. It's like, good right?

Its not good... Its great. Best game I've played in years.

[Talorth]

Better than lineage?



Lol that was a stupid question that I already know the answer to....


I can't wait to play it myself, I just need a new video card badly..

I need something to occupy me during the holidays, other than my 360 and L2. I might give it a go...I'd forgotten it existed :s

Wow..... just wow.

[Damascus]

I'm a diverse man, do not humiliate me!

[Zelandra]

I'm a diverse man, do not humiliate me!

But you have a 360 :(

Actually, I kinda wanna try the game too but too afraid my comp will fuck it up since it is teh suxXx.

[Damascus]

Lol the Total War games are just as good as my 360! A man must learn moderation in his life, like, don't hit the bitches too often or they just might tell the cops.

[Talorth]

.... XD

That's why you make sure the bitch is a cop to begin with, then she won't have anyone to cry to.

[Damascus]

hahahaha

[Archaos]

I'm still playing Rome.

Wasn't sure if the new one was worth the buy.

[Magir]

It's by far the best total war game, the other factions actually act like sensible monarchs now. You can tell what your relation with each of your allies is, which helps decide if you need to send money their way to keep the relationship healthy, whereas in the previous games it was impossible to tell, and your allies would betray you for seemingly no reason.

And the new building damage feature is so badass. Gone are the days where a building would appear fine until the damage reached 100%, only to have that structure fall into a cloud of dust. In this game, if my trebuchet hits a part of a structure, that part will show visible damage, I love firing at the cathedrals and hitting the towers watching them collapse in on themselves.

And of course the battling itself is much improved, archers can finally fire over walls effectively and not every soldier looks exactly the same. They also appear bloody as they fight and get wounded, and they get really into it, for example if you zoom into a fight you'll see the soldiers stabbing the enemy and kicking off of the opponent to get their sword out.

It's holding me over until darkfall comes out for sure. If it ever comes out...

Oh and btw I thought it wouldn't compare to Rome but after playing medieval 2 I immediately uninstalled Rome total war, you wont be able to go back to that game after playing this.

[Archaos]

I'm gonna have to pick it up.

Hope my system will handle all those little people.

[Magir]

I had to turn off shadows to speed up performance but it was a small visual sacrifice to make.

[Archaos]

what are your specs ?

[Articula]

Here are a couple of random screenies as I'm defending my castle.

It's a really sexy game... I, of course, am a slacker... and too impatient to play it correctly... but useing the money cheat, the game is a blast :D

[Archaos]

Bah, half of the fun is building the empire up!

And yaya, someone find a torrent. :>

[Archaos]

yeah find a TORRENT.

I can't pay for shit I'm in college guys :<

[Damascus]

I can pay for shit, I'm in collegish thing, but I'm lazy and on holidays. Leaving my house to pay for a game is just too much to ask.

C'mon, people, TORRENT!

[Cereal]

I pretty much suck. I never can build up my empire without going millions or billions into the negatives:cry: But I pretty much own during the fighting, imotbh.

[Damascus]

Ok, I'll handle your provinces and send you to battles, you just mop up the dirty peasants.

I just wish these games allowed more freedom to deal with enemies how you wish. I want to stake my enemies captured units out on a hill, run the stake up their ass and out their mouth (or shoulder, just depends really), and organise the corpses into pretty, steaked patterns.

Then I'd raze their capital cities and salt the earth.

[Archaos]

ok.

seriously torrent time.

where is Kull when we need him !
