Beyond that, further faction releases and mods can and will make this a great game. My main concerns are with the UI and musical score. I felt these were both much better in (applicably) Shogun 2 and the original Rome: Total War. My score of 8/10 is based on the expected community and developer improvements to performance and AI (which have both occurred throughout the Total War series). Otherwise I am satisfied thus far with my purchase. Ave Caesar!… Expand

    Well, I don't understand the rant about the game... It's not that bad, sure it got a few flaws! But wait a couple of weeks and it most likely will be fixed... It's not broken... It's fun.. Either you guys are somekind of fanboys towards Rome I or something.

    I have played TW since the first Shogun, and in my opinion Rome II is one of the best. OK, I have i7-3930 and GTX 680, so may be that's the reason I haven't had many technical issues even on the first day. AI has been more or less aggressive depending on the faction and campaign, but so it was also in Shogun 2.

    Also, I don't understand all the talk about stripped features the family tree was never a big deal to me in previous games, so I don’t miss it, and I think the economy makes way more sense than before.
    I remember in Rome I, the cities used to grow often huge with no possibility to actually influence it, and if they were away from the capital, you had rebellions all the time. So I would let them rebel, then conquer again and raise to the ground to get rid of the population. Your own cities. Now how smart was that? And remember having to move your capital around all the time to decrease rebellions? Some people had even created these maps on the internet to optimize where to place your capital depending on the provinces you own. In Rome II one can control it much better if you do not maximize your buildings too quickly without researching technologies to counter that.
    And the three separate Roman factions on the campaign map in Rome I? I loved when Realism mod removed it.
    In Rome I you had these large land swathes controlled by unanimous rebels. With Rome II now each of them is an individual faction, I think, giving the game more breadth.
    I think Rome II is way superior.
    Of course, Shogun 2 is a great game, and I played it a lot. But does it have a much deeper economy system? To the contrary, to me Rome 2 has way more depth in that sense.
    There are issues definitely with the game still and much to be improved, but I will surely be enjoying it. That's why 10.    … Expand

Battles are becoming well rounded with more balancing as the game goes on. CA is working really hard to get the balancing right while they fix minor bugs that are left over.

    The campaign I played on very hard the first time around took me over 400 turns to conquer the entire map. Really well balanced AI for the most part on that trek. I do think that it has become the norm to release games early and this is the same for Rome II but this is not a reflection of the game in itself; the game is fantastic and it will only get better as the add in features that players complain about. People tend to compare games to much to predecessors and forget that companies are trying new things all the time.

I read all the news about it every day and got very hyped. But when the game was released and the huge mess of its problems was revealed, I was very disappointed. The only reason I give this game a 10/10 is to counter all the people on here that are giving this game a 0 for reasons that I think are faulty and that give a bad image of CA. Do people realize that a 0 means that the game does not get past the first loading screen without crashing? If you can start up a game at all, it does not deserve a 0. If it is apparent that there was a total lack of effort and professionalism in the development, then it deserves a 1. But in my opinion, this game does neither of those things and does not deserve the huge number of 0's and 1's from pissed off people. This game shows that incredible amounts of work, effort, creativity, and care were put into Rome 2: Total War. The only place where the developers and publishers messed up is not giving enough development time and not testing the game properly. This caused minor (but important) features to be left out and also many bugs (some game breaking) to be left in. This in turn made the game unplayable for some, but CA claims that most people can run it without serious issues.Due to these reasons, I do not think that anybody should completely denounce a game simply because they do not like some of its features (or lack of features) and got disappointed that their vision of the game wasn't achieved. This game deserves at least a 5/10 form the people that are do not like it and a somewhere around a 7/10 from people that know that it will become a good game, if not great, through patching and mods. I would personally give this game an 8/10 because I know that just like Skyrim, a true gem of a game will emerge from the flawed vanilla version. But I will not change my score until all the pissed off people give a realistic score that only reflects the problems of the game that have no way of being fixed in the near future and does not take into account their personal feelings and or preferences.… Expand

    Non ho trovato nessuno dei difetti menzionati. AI non perdona gli errori, grafica assolutamente accettabile, UI identica ai vecchi giochi con in più la possibilità di nascondere tutto. In più una mappa enorme, moltissime fazioni e assedi finalmente giocabili degnamente, come nel primo Rome. Forse sotto Empire ma anni luce avanti Shogun2

This is not for everyone, even those who have countless experience with previous Total War titles. This is TW: RTS Stereotypes Redefined. Yes, the interface can be confusing. Took me 10 hours to learn. Patience is key. If you're having trouble learning the game, start with Empire:TW and move up from there. That should give a better understanding of the game (much less interface). Blood & Gore DLC is fantastic! Reminds me of Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

    I have not a single issue regarding graphics. Pre-ordered the game and had no issues from day one. AI has been extremely challenging (especially with increased difficulty); learn how to use units properly and shouldn't be too hard. That said, Rome is over-powered; I recommend the Nomadic or Barbarian tribes for maximum challenge. I have yet to see a video game, console-based or not, with better historical accuracy. The research done was extensive (history major, FYI). Zoom in on units for conversation fun and each member's unique face.

    Blood & Gore DLC is fantastic! Reminds me of Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

The AI is actually clever now, aside from a few bugs here and there, but that and all the combat related issues come from the Warscape engine, that dates back to Empire.

    La decepción personal mas grande del mundo de los videojuegos , El peor juego de la saga Total War ( pero a un así lo aprobó por pelos ) . Lo positivo que los Creative Assembly han bajado de la nube que estaban y espero que hayan aprendido de este error para mejorar en la siguiente entrega .

    A good game, but it became one only after a dozen of patches. After release it just didn't work as it should have had. Sadly it happens all the time. Why releasing an unfinished work? And still a good game right now.

    Creo que el principal problema de este juego es querer equilibrar tanto las civilizaciones, que deja a un lado el rigor histórico he iguala a todas las demás con Roma y Cartago, las dos grandes de su tiempo.

    Si lo que buscas son grandes batallas, y enfrentamientos multijugador, quizás no sea un mal juego, porque es en lo único que destaca, en eso y en los gráficos, que sin duda no se queda corto para nada.

    Ahora bien, sin duda, para alguien que busque algo más, se queda bastante corto. Intentare exponerlo en diferentes puntos:

    1- Tiene muchas facciones a escoger. Y esto tendría sentido, si todas no se jugaran prácticamente igual, tanto en batallas campales, como en asedios y navales.

    2- Este punto va junto al primero, y es que al intentar igualarlo tanto, se han pasado la historia por los co^^nes, ya que las tribus no contaban con la disciplina y tecnología Romana, solo eran hordas de feroces guerreros que se arrojaban a su enemigo, pero en este juego en cambio...

    3- Roma y Cartago no se diferencian prácticamente de las demás civilizaciones, siendo incluso, que en gran parte de las campañas desaparecerán tan rápido, que seguramente no nos de tiempo ni a encontrarlas en el mapa.

    4- El mapa es demasiado grande. No suelo decir esto, ya que normalmente cuanto más grande mejor, pero en este caso no es así, ya que con prácticamente 1/3 del mapa conquistado, tienes asegurado que nadie te hará frente haya por donde vayas.

    5- No me molestaría un mapa grande, si los objetivos no fueran conquistar prácticamente una ciudad en cada punta de esté. Con esto quiero decir, que las condiciones de victorias son absurdas. ¿Por que querría un Galo conquistar Grecia o el norte de África?.

    6- Lo del multijugador lo digo más que nada porque la IA parece MR Bean intentando hacer algo bien. Apelotona unidades, enfrenta caballería contra lanceros, expone al general sin ningún tipo de sentido...

    Estos son algunos de los puntos que considero que flaquean en esta entrega, falta puntos, por supuesto, como por ejemplo decir que el juego aun vale 55 euros en Steam, y que cuenta con un abanico de dlcs que SUPERAN los 80 euros en su conjunto.    … Expand

    我在本作发售了一年之后才开始玩，所以前期大部分优化问题我都规避了。抛开这个，本作十分优秀。陆战部分，弓骑枪相互克制的系统玩起来节奏感十足。大概就是弓兵放箭，枪兵布方阵往前冲，骑兵于两翼待命冲锋。就是那年代打战内味。当然也是全战的基本操作了。现在来说说海战，本作海战相当有趣在你发现真正玩法之后。大部分玩家都囿于直观的弓箭拼火认知，往往就让电脑操作了。确实，如果玩家这么玩的话结果跟电脑操作无异。然而海战真正的玩法是操控船只和地方肉搏，就是用船头刺穿对方的船身，打一个T字。通过不停的微操，我几乎可以不费一兵一卒以一敌三把对面全部船只撞沉。注意运输船也可以这么玩。这就相当有意思了，再配合意大利和地中海微妙的地理关系，真正的传奇难度制霸是从地中海沿岸开始，而不是北出瑞士。再加上本作征服模式中重现罗马帝国全盛时期辉煌所带来的满足感，本作妥妥是全战中的佼佼者。我在本作发售了一年之后才开始玩，所以前期大部分优化问题我都规避了。抛开这个，本作十分优秀。陆战部分，弓骑枪相互克制的系统玩起来节奏感十足。大概就是弓兵放箭，枪兵布方阵往前冲，骑兵于两翼待命冲锋。就是那年代打战内味。当然也是全战的基本操作了。现在来说说海战，本作海战相当有趣在你发现真正玩法之后。大部分玩家都囿于直观的弓箭拼火认知，往往就让电脑操作了。确实，如果玩家这么玩的话结果跟电脑操作无异。然而海战真正的玩法是操控船只和地方肉搏，就是用船头刺穿对方的船身，打一个T字。通过不停的微操，我几乎可以不费一兵一卒以一敌三把对面全部船只撞沉。注意运输船也可以这么玩。这就相当有意思了，再配合意大利和地中海微妙的地理关系，真正的传奇难度制霸是从地中海沿岸开始，而不是北出瑞士。再加上本作征服模式中重现罗马帝国全盛时期辉煌所带来的满足感，本作妥妥是全战中的佼佼者。

I am also disappointed with the DLC direction that CA and Sega have decided to take. Half the playable factions are locked behind a paywall and even then there is an unreal amount of Greek-like factions which all play the same. Other than that i'm enjoying myself. It's nowhere near as good as Rome I and Medieval II and i'd even say Empire was better but I like it more than Shogun 2 and don't regret my $15 purchase.… Expand

Of course, it was difficult to achieve success without using strategy in Rome: Total War, too, but in Total War: Rome 2, the situation changes a little more different way. In this game, there is the fact that when you take control of the army, soldiers are affected by the events on the battlefield. Therefore, a strategy is required in which they can act with maximum confidence.

    Still, I miss the creative and fascinating drawings and long descriptions of soldiers, buildings and generals in Rome: Total War. Total War: Rome 2 offers a major shortcoming in this regard. So, in Rome: Total War, the building you were going to build, the soldier, the diplomat or agent you were going to train had remarkable explanations and dazzling drawings. In Total War: Rome 2, for some reason, they added nothing but a few nonsense icons for the visual details that required it. I think the description part is okay because there is an encyclopedia.

    There were too many bugs when the game was first released. So, I think if I was going to list here, I can keep you here for a long time. Fortunately, they quickly fixed these bugs after the game's release. Now with various DLCs, the game offers more playtime and characteristic, but none of these DLCs is amazing like Barbarian Invasion or Alexander. The DLCs allow you to play only a small part of the same game separately.

    Overall, Total War: Rome 2 may seem more attractive to those who are new to the Total War series. I can say that it is much more effective with its high-quality soldier animations, designs and improved army and state administration elements. However, Total War: Rome 2 will never be able to give pleasure like Rome: Total War.    … Expand

The heart of the game comes from the combat encounters which are very beautifully and expertly rendered from a graphical perspective. The audio quality is not bad, but the audio design of the game isn't really a selling point. Thematically, Rome II is very bland and boring, presenting an uninteresting and romanticized version of warfare in an ancient sense. The game has a moderate learning curve and a high skill cap, fostering the components necessary for competitive appeal. However, this is overridden by arbitrary balancing and a "unit value" system which couldn't hope to do justice to the complex interactions between armies and factions. The main frustrating element of Rome II is its cumbersome, overbearing, and obtrusive business model; the value of this game should be evaluated accounting for the sum price of all expansions and addons.… Expand

    I hadn't played any other TW games before this so perhaps my views aren't as refined as others and suffer from lack of variety but what I do know is, I had a great time playing this and clocked well over 1000 hours on it.

    I've only ever suffered from minor bugs which were only slight annoyances but overall the view and scale of the battles were mind-blowing at the time i first played. It could be improved with tweaks such as options to turn off certain features in campaign but overall I enjoyed this game greatly and consider it a solid way to waste whole days.    … Expand

    как по мне, отличное улучшение по сравнению с первой частью, переработана система построек, улучшена графика, хотя могла бы быть и лучше. Но всё равно 400+ часов в стиме говорят сами за себя

    I played all Total War games and Rome II is by far my favourite. There are plenty of countries, quite a few campaigns (some in DLC), the political aspect is well developed, the buildings, units and political system are very different depending on the culture... Greta game.

    Absolutely disgusting release. They've fixed most of the bugs and **** later, but still, the taste of the crap on a release date is fresh as hell

    Good and fun game. Compared to other older games in the series, the graphics are not so dated as to be disturbing today and therefore still playable.

    Objetively good game, but simpler than previous games, with less settlement management and simplified tactical battles

    The game is far less polished than Shogun 2, and a few more patches will help, but Rome II is still a flawed game that is underwhelming when compared to previous titles in the franchise.

    And here’s the rub: every addition, every sub-system, every mechanic is subservient to War. War is what Total War is really about. Everything else not directly related to conflict comes across as ancillary. Rome II is a game for warmongers, on both the campaign map and, obviously, on the battlefield. When peace is happening, nothing is happening. When war is happening, Rome comes alive.

    If you will play literally anything featuring Total War and Rome in the same title and don't value your time, this is for you. [Nov 2013, p.80]
