That sounds dire. The trailers look good though, so i'll just have to wait and see. Still downloading, 1.78GB in 16hours and counting @ 15kb/s!
So I downloaded Game of Thrones and completed 2 of the 4 tutorials last night - it looks hellishly complicated, but then again so does all games when u just start. I should get in a couple of hours tonight then i'll drop you blokes my impression.
Picked up Crusader Kings II today, played through the tutorial, bloody hell it's intense. Going to have a proper go a bit later on.
MK 2011 (thanks to rocks) - is such a gun game although much more difficult than I thought (tag teams what the fuck beating reptile and subzero with smoke is tough) And Goro, wafc. Easy to beat but took forever to work out the strategy.
I won't pay money for it tbh, but if you can download it and you are a die hard fan of the series then you might want to get it just to satisfy yourself, but it's pretty crappy imo. The game engine is ok but the mechanics i.e. how to achieve success is an epic fail. Disappointed tbh.
I have played 8 years in game time and tbh it plays very linear for me. Apart from getting married and making war there is nothing to this game. I am a fan of the classic type strat games where you have to build and develope towns and the make war etc. This isn't that.
Crusader Kings is definitely a lot about political power than military power. If you want the latter, go with Medieval 2 Total War
Got the hitman sniper challenge yesterday, it's not too bad for something so short It's a free preorder as well or was in my shop, do if I buy it I've not wasted any money if I go some place else. Don't know why they didn't just put it on Xbox live / psn tbh
Shame about GOT. I usually play sport management games cricket, football, rugby etc.. But I want to have a crack at these strategic war games. Partly because of my love for GOT but also I remember playing Kessen when I was a kid! Has anyone got any recommendations? I will end up getting something either my laptop can't handle or is shunt
Fucking cunt I'm on chapter 11 but had difficulty as the one above medium (4th level iirc) so was challenged the whole way through. Have to fucking beat Shao Khan with Liu Kang. Been camping a mile away from him and just fireballing/jump kicking but still losing 2/3 rounds. Been trying to get past it for hours.
Oh ok. I still haven't had a chance to have a good play yet. I think I'm going to enjoy it. I want to get an Antipope, that seems fun
Just keep in mind having an antipope will make the catholic moral authority decrease gradually. This will invite heresy religions into catholic lands. It's also not possible to get rid of the antipope once you've installed it, other than to claim the papacy for him, which is pretty hard since the Pope always has plenty of gold to hire the mercenaries.
Man the game sounds intense. So many things you need to be thinking about. I'm looking forward to when I have some free time to play it.
