Re: Funny the different perspectives people get. Macharius Send a noteboard - 18/08/2011 01:51:39 AM
Of course it has its downsides as well, but I admit that the game has grown on me a lot from playing it.


I was playing Empire last winter, so by then most of the bugs present at release had been cleaned up and gameplay was pretty smooth. I found it to be a much more involved game than M2 for all the reasons you went into above re: province development, naval warfare, colonies, diplomacy, etc. For example, I played a Short Campaign as Russia that was super fun; probably more than most of the time I'd spent playing M2 which I absolutely love.

Incidentally, have you ever actually gone to America in Medieval II? 'Cause I haven't, and have always wondered what it was like :P.


No, I've never gone to America in M2. There never seemed to be much of a point to doing so for me, since (apparently) it took so many turns to get out there to have to start building new provinces up from jack scratch with the army I could be using to conquer mostly developed territories closer to home. :D

EDIT: Damnit, talking about Total War always makes me want to play it.


LOL, I know, right?!

Torchlight II and Diablo III. Macharius - 16/08/2011 08:48:49 PM 727 Views
Diablo III is at the top of my list. Nate - 16/08/2011 09:31:22 PM 505 Views
I've been following Diablo III, but I've never heard of Torchlight. j-whitt987 - 16/08/2011 09:45:17 PM 600 Views
Torchlight is a cheap, extremely undemanding (in terms of requirements), steampunk Diablo clone. Legolas - 18/08/2011 08:27:01 PM 564 Views

I really never saw the appeal in Diablo. Fanatic-Templar - 16/08/2011 11:45:38 PM 530 Views

Agreed. Diablo (and Torchlight) is the very definition of a repetitive grindfest. lord-of-shadow - 17/08/2011 02:35:15 PM 545 Views
Which is just fine, for what they are. Macharius - 17/08/2011 05:26:10 PM 650 Views

Yeah, the TW series is pretty weak grand strategy. Paradox does it best. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/08/2011 09:29:28 PM 201 Views
Paradox? *NM* Macharius - 18/08/2011 01:54:00 AM 203 Views
Hearts of Iron, Victoria, Europa Universalis... think RTS Civilization meets Dwarf Fortress. Ghavrel - 18/08/2011 05:45:09 AM 451 Views
That sounds magical. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 18/08/2011 01:35:09 PM 204 Views
I've always been intrigued by Europa Universalis. Macharius - 18/08/2011 01:59:52 PM 540 Views
Worth it, in my opinion. Ghavrel - 18/08/2011 05:25:09 PM 455 Views
lol now that i've looked into Torchlight.. LadyLorraine - 17/08/2011 02:04:51 AM 569 Views
YOU PLAY FIFTEEN DOLLARS A MONTH FOR THIS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU Ghavrel - 17/08/2011 07:58:06 AM 424 Views
what? LadyLorraine - 17/08/2011 08:13:41 AM 450 Views
He's referring to your WoW subscription. *NM* Macharius - 17/08/2011 01:47:48 PM 190 Views
Oh well. i don't pay for that LadyLorraine - 18/08/2011 02:40:37 AM 466 Views
Re: Oh well. i don't pay for that Macharius - 18/08/2011 01:58:52 PM 538 Views
meh, I have plenty of other things on my to-play list LadyLorraine - 18/08/2011 06:54:33 PM 436 Views
I can't say I was really impressed by Torchlight's boss fights. Legolas - 18/08/2011 08:38:41 PM 460 Views
The first time I beat Diablo was hilarious. Fanatic-Templar - 19/08/2011 04:04:31 AM 550 Views
Diablo III's lore and atmosphere draw me, but not the bajillion clicks required. Zalis - 17/08/2011 04:07:40 AM 559 Views

I dislike this "always-online" requirement, and I don't think I'll ever buy a game that demands it. *NM* MonCul - 26/08/2011 03:53:49 AM 189 Views
Torchlight 2's final character class is a mage, it turns out. Nate - 29/08/2011 06:42:05 PM 522 Views
