Let the devs finish the game before you buy it.

User Rating: 5.5 | Total War: Rome II PC

Aside from the obvious lack of difficulty to pander to a more "mainstream" crowd, the game has actually LOST features that were ever present and super fun in previous games. Major factions are limited to a small amount of unit types and the AI is absolutely ridiculous.

Not to mention turn times. In the latter parts of the game I spend a turn moving a few units around and MAYBE expanding my cities with more buildings. Then I spend around 2-3 minutes waiting for the AI to do their business. 2-3 minutes? No thank you. Until CA fix this game I can see a lot of people actually just refusing to play.

All CA has done is take the original ROME, increased the map size a little, updated the graphics, and stripped down some core features to make room for 'new exciting experiences'. 2-3 minutes? I just cannot get over the fact that they find it acceptable. I spend less time taking a dump. My system beats the recommended specs by a respectable amount but I still have trouble running this game properly. Seriously, I'd wait until this game has been actually finished by the devs before buying it.
