actually, they are deciededly givening us lots of content for free.(seleucids, Greek states for preorder, and Pontus), making us pay for expansions into entirely new areas(barbarian heavy, plus game content). Won't be surprised if they come up with an alexanders conquests, or scenarios(similar to the Rise/Fall method they chose) for this.Yes, they make you think you get lots of content for free, which should be free content anyway.
Also, frank, you're drunk. Arys rubbing off on you.

Seems like your kind of clutching for excuses.
I mean I may still end up pirating this if my dodgy purchase doesn't go through, so I don't say this from a high horse. but CA seem like one of the few good PC developers left who aren't completely corrupt or gone for console $$$ (blizzard/crytek/etc.).
day 1 DLC is lame, but in this case I really don't think its AS bad as other games because A) its free if you pre order B) its not alot or important content C) they are doing free DLC aswell
day 1 dlc was more of a big deal when its shit like ME3 with important chunks of core content. I don't think you really have any right to hate on CA, plus what was wrong with shogun 2? I didnt buy it but its an amazing game.

Bought Total War games on release games since Medieval 2, was kinda dissapoint after Empire (NTW and Shogun are good games but I didnt enjoy them as much as the previous ones) Not sure if im going to get Rome 2 looks good but the day one dlc crap makes me sick.
weren't you like 8 years old when medieval 2 came out?
I just copied that from the Wiki for Rome 1 from TWC.
Where do you get it so freaking cheap? I have to pay 54 euro on steam and on my local Gamestop.

UK.. which is why I used the £ lol. It was £30 pre-order on Steam.
Ik, but that is fucking cheap.
CA is based here so we are the master race of Total War and get it cheaper on Steam.
which is pretty strange, considering its digital distribution. if they needed to pack up discs and then ship them to different countries, higher cost for different countries would be understandable. but its a damn digital distribution...
Yeah but you missed the part where we are master race and thus deserve to pay less.
People demand better games every year, they demand improvements in graphics, mechanics, physics and everything else, yet expect to carry on paying exactly the same price. CA put a lot of work and effort into their games and have a pretty big dev team working on them. Furthermore with a solid base game there is nothing that makes you buy the dlc other than your own weak will or created sense of need. Only think i brought for shogun was Fall of the samurai and I have nearly 200hrs of play from that. If you don't want to pay full price wait 6 months and it will likely be on sale, if you can't afford it on release then learn some patience.
Committing yourself to pirate the base game now, before its released is lame arse move.
Demanding better games doesn't mean that it costs exponentially more to make Rome 2 versus Shogun.
There's no defending companies releasing DLC on day one of a game launch. Or piece mealing a game into DLC components. I wish more people pirated these types of game models or just outright didn't buy/play them. The publishers would get the hint pretty quickly.
I don't really get the logic behind "it's shit so (I) pirate it". That's like going to the supermarket to steal some chocolate chip cookies you loathe.
Even if you are making up something about "punishing" them the message you give them is this:
Everyone loves those cookies. But we need to invest more into protection.
So let me get this straight. Im not the only one who noticed that the AI never really wields a even halfdescent army on the campaignmap? Shiiieeet. And all this time I thought it was me, cause I played on medium now and it was still supereasy.(click to show/hide)

And all this time I thought it was me, cause I played on medium now and it was still supereasy.My personal guess is that rather the publisher SEGA is to blame for the unfinished state of the game than the developer.
Ofcourse I wouldnt be as mean as Frank thou. Going totally berserker on a game has a point when the devs go greedy and lazy. In Rome 2s case, im quessing they just made a lot of shit decisions that seemed good on paper + other retarded bugs happened.
well don't I feel retarded now.
I bought a copy but am now torrenting a pirate copy. why?
a) to play DLC which I didnt get even tho I pre-ordered.
b) because cannot play over actual lan with legit copy. see here (http://forums.totalwar.com/showthread.php/84586-Impossible-to-play-over-LAN-with-legit-copy)
unlike everyone else I do actually like this game and think it has great potential. however considering the state it released in, really have no idea why I bought it at release, when I could just purate and wait until price drops and bugs are fixed.
Battlefield 4 is not yet released, but 5 DLshits are already announced, and they even know what will be the content.
The way I look at pirating in general is ... if you don't like the product, don't buy it. Maybe it's a bit of a simplistic perspective but it's not like when Nissan puts out a shitty car or Nokia puts out a bad phone model it gives you the right to go and steal it because it doesn't match your expectations, you just don't buy it. You may argue that piracy is a victimless crime but that's not really the case, I'm sure that for many people if the option to pirate would be unavailable they might buy the product.
Now I admit I occasionally pirate stuff as well but trying to morally justify it and act like it's some noble thing seems just silly to me. (there are some exceptions I guess)

If you don't think it's worth the price you don't break into the car dealership and steal it, you just don't buy it, just like I did with Rome II.Or.. if you don't think it's worth the price, you pirate it?

I'm going to download it and hand out free DVDs in the street. I'm not going to bother playing it though.
Hey yeah we're releasing the game, and in 3 weeks we'll release this add on that was prepared before hand but we're going to make it separate to leech more money from you.
thanks!
