tokyosexwale posted:Buyer beware. I just purchased Fall of the Samurai and the DLC bundle from them. The unique activation key they e-mailed me was invalid. I contacted customer support. I'll update once I hear from them. As a counter-point, I bought the pre-order clans bundle, and all 4 of the keys the e-mailed me were fine. Not saying you aren't having issues, but it doesn't look like the whole system is screwed. EDIT: Just as a thought...you are using the keys they email to you, correct? The order confirmation number is just for record-keeping with their site, the Steam Keys are sent in separate emails. jivjov fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Jun 30, 2012 |

tokyosexwale posted:Yeah. Looks like my credit card company jumped on the transaction as 'outside normal purchases' and declined the transaction. Not sure what went on there as I use it for Steam all the time. No harm no foul though since I didn't lose any money. I might try it again later or just wait for the inevetable Steam sale. Good to hear other people are having no problem though. If you want, we can probably work out a deal with you paypalling me and me sending you steam keys

I've encountered a weird glitch. I'm playing a co-op campaign, and while attempting to disband some troops, every time my friend's game crashes. Any idea what may be causing this?

Koramei posted:Unrelatedly, has anybody tried Total War Battles? Is the faction pack that comes with it random? I haven't bought the Steam version, but TW: Battles on iOS is pretty fun. It feels less like a "TW game" and more like a "Shogun game" but that's not reflective of the gameplay, just the presentation.

I'm assuming these screenshots are all best-case scenario. Optimal conditions, the best rig they can put together. I would be very surprised if there's not a wealth of graphics options that'll let this game run on older hardware.

Heran Bago posted:I picked up the total war collection on Steam and I remember there was a goon recommended order to play the games in. What is this general order, and is it to decrease disc space usage or to play the more dated games first? My personal recommendation is to work from oldest to newest; if you start new, you run the risk of getting annoyed when connivance features from the newer games aren't in the older ones. Also, skip Empire, Napoleon is better.

The Moon Monster posted:Thanks for the advice. I'm primarily interested in SP and I'm a huge nerdlinger who thinks Samurai are cool so I got Shogun 2. Holy poo poo 20 gigs. That's because there's full cross compatibility for all the Shogun 2 stuff. You're installing Shogun 2, Rise of the Samurai, Fall of the Samurai, and all the other little stuff inbetween. If you were to go buy Fall of the Samurai right now, you'd only download a few more megabytes.

concerned mom posted:I wonder why make it free day-one DLC? I guess they've already planned what's on the disc? Gets people connected to the online component. Is Rome 2 gonna be Steamworks? If so, this'll get people who maybe just use steam as a client to play games they've bought at retail and plugged in CD Keys for to actually check out the Steam store. From there, they might become regular customers.

cafel posted:Ugh, I promised myself I would never pre-order another game, especially if the pre-order gets you some DLC stuff, because overall I think it's a lovely business practice. But I've played ever TW game since Rome and I've enjoyed them all, even Empire. So I'm definitely going to pick this up and I'll probably enjoy it, but I'm waffling on whether I should break down and pre-order it. If I may ask, what's wrong with companies offering preorder bonuses? Incentives for early adopters is nothing new, and at least with a DLC pack, late adopters aren't screwed out of ever having access to the content.

wid posted:It's not a bonus if it's a feature they held hostage. A bonus would be something like alternate skins, like alternate Spartan skins or music CDs and stuff that doesn't make those who are not pre-ordering missing a part of the gameplay. It's also different from DLCs, which are added content. The preorder bonus this time around is a DLC pack. You either get it for free with a preorder or you can get it later by buying it.

cafel posted:Because a lot of game studios have been taking games, especially with well known brand names or developers attached to them, hyping them up and putting out free pre-order DLC. Tons of people pre-order, reviews are held to the day of launch and then a couple hundred thousand people get their pre-orders and realize the game is poo poo while the company goes laughing all the way to the bank. For the latest major example see Aliens: Colonial Marines. We'll have to agree to disagree then. I don't agree with a lot of what you've just said, but I can't articulate my reasons well enough to have a decent debate with you.

Shorter Than Some posted:Why preorder a game like 5 months in advance anyway, even of you want the preorder bonus what advantage does it offer you over ordering the day before? For me, a lot of it is "I have the money now, might as well get my preorder locked now in case early september is full of wallet-draining emergencies."

I'm becoming more and more pumped for Rome 2. I really like the concept of Total War Rome, but I've only ever played Shogun 2, so I can't bring myself to go back to one of the oldest games in the franchise.

dogydemoc posted:I just got Empire for my birthday, and having never really played any Total War games I'd be grateful for some tips, especially for the campaign side of things. I know it's not regarded as the best in the series but I really like the look of Rome II so I thought I'd try one out before it's released. Rule Number 1 (that I've found, anyway) is don't get cocky and don't overextend yourself. My first few Shogun 2 campaigns were disastrous because I got overconfident and marched the entirety of my army forward to glorious battle, got my poo poo kicked in, and then didn't have anything left to defend my lands.

Game reviews are pretty bullshit anyway, because a review is unavoidably going to bring in their own personal thoughts, feelings, hangups, etc. Your experience playing a game is never going to match up 1:1 with a reviewer's, combine that with the fact that in most cases a reviewer will not scratch the surface of what's available due to time constraints, and I find game reviews to be even more wonky and subjective than reviews of, say, films and books.

Have they announced if the Greek States pack will be for sale at launch? Or will there be a "pre-order customers only" exclusivity period for a while? I don't think my next paycheck will cover a preorder but I got a promotion at work and the one after that should let me get the game then, and I desperately want to play as Sparta.

ughhhh posted:Since there is the total war week on Steam, are any of the Shogun 2 DLC's worth getting? I already have FoTS and RoTS but none of the clan pack or the heroes pack. I really like having more play options, so I'd recommend all of the clan packs, but that's just me. That said, the Blood Pack is a must-buy. It turns the game into the anime it always wanted to be.

So I'm a bit behind on Total War news...is Attila a standalone expansion like FOTS (with the associated lower price point?) or an entirely new title?
