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 759 Views
Diablo III is at the top of my list. Nate - 16/08/2011 09:31:22 PM 537 Views
I've been following Diablo III, but I've never heard of Torchlight. j-whitt987 - 16/08/2011 09:45:17 PM 639 Views
Torchlight is a cheap, extremely undemanding (in terms of requirements), steampunk Diablo clone. Legolas - 18/08/2011 08:27:01 PM 598 Views

I really never saw the appeal in Diablo. Fanatic-Templar - 16/08/2011 11:45:38 PM 562 Views

Agreed. Diablo (and Torchlight) is the very definition of a repetitive grindfest. lord-of-shadow - 17/08/2011 02:35:15 PM 579 Views
Which is just fine, for what they are. Macharius - 17/08/2011 05:26:10 PM 683 Views

Yeah, the TW series is pretty weak grand strategy. Paradox does it best. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/08/2011 09:29:28 PM 215 Views
Paradox? *NM* Macharius - 18/08/2011 01:54:00 AM 217 Views
Hearts of Iron, Victoria, Europa Universalis... think RTS Civilization meets Dwarf Fortress. Ghavrel - 18/08/2011 05:45:09 AM 486 Views
That sounds magical. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 18/08/2011 01:35:09 PM 222 Views
I've always been intrigued by Europa Universalis. Macharius - 18/08/2011 01:59:52 PM 578 Views
Worth it, in my opinion. Ghavrel - 18/08/2011 05:25:09 PM 493 Views
lol now that i've looked into Torchlight.. LadyLorraine - 17/08/2011 02:04:51 AM 599 Views
YOU PLAY FIFTEEN DOLLARS A MONTH FOR THIS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU Ghavrel - 17/08/2011 07:58:06 AM 461 Views
what? LadyLorraine - 17/08/2011 08:13:41 AM 487 Views
He's referring to your WoW subscription. *NM* Macharius - 17/08/2011 01:47:48 PM 206 Views
Oh well. i don't pay for that LadyLorraine - 18/08/2011 02:40:37 AM 497 Views
Re: Oh well. i don't pay for that Macharius - 18/08/2011 01:58:52 PM 570 Views
meh, I have plenty of other things on my to-play list LadyLorraine - 18/08/2011 06:54:33 PM 470 Views
I can't say I was really impressed by Torchlight's boss fights. Legolas - 18/08/2011 08:38:41 PM 494 Views
The first time I beat Diablo was hilarious. Fanatic-Templar - 19/08/2011 04:04:31 AM 583 Views
Diablo III's lore and atmosphere draw me, but not the bajillion clicks required. Zalis - 17/08/2011 04:07:40 AM 592 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 203 Views
Torchlight 2's final character class is a mage, it turns out. Nate - 29/08/2011 06:42:05 PM 563 Views
