@ozdarkhorse Gamespot reviewing policy is this: future patches and enahncements are nto taken into consideration at the moment of release. Frankly, all sane people do the same thing when reviewing. You can't recommend a game based on "it might be patched sometime in the future", however you can adjust the score later on.
And yeah, they downgraded a hell of a lot of game for being buggy such as Alpha Protocol was one, almost every paradox game, Fallout New Vegas.
@willzihang @vishisluv7 @bonzaibillie Nah, it's not that. They didn't post a video-review because they might've accidentally shown how buggy and unplayable this game is, and then they would have had to lower the score. Sega doesn't pay as much for add space if their games gets a deserved 6 as opposed to an 8.
This a bad review. Not only does it not mention about half of what is wrong with game, and what makes it unplayable, but it also sugar-coasts some parts and tries to spin it so that the game doesn't appear as bad as it is. Sadly it all goes wrong and you end up with filler good points and an overly-short bad points section.
Much like the game itself this review deserves a 6.
@EL_Bomberdor What a tasteless and petty comment.Some of use like a game that makes you think in order to win, rather than the same old twitch and reflex-based games.
@HesamB This broken mess does not deserve an 8, it deserves a 6 at best. 80% of its features either don't work or have more bugs than the Zerg home-world, combat is a bombastic, arcadey, bad joke (Benny Hill chases around flags anyone?), A.I. is the worst in the series so far (ffs it can't even build a full stack of units and charges phalanx units with archers), it's poorly optimized, graphics are made ugly by that over-saturation effect, and the list can go on.
If you defend Rome II you are either a CA employee or this is your first ever Total War.
