Remember the fiasco that was R1 remaster in 2021? Well, get ready for its 2026 sequel: Shogun 2. >"The Complete Edition implies that for 15 years CA has been selling us an incomplete game." Shogun 2's Steam page and Workshop have suffered a Carthago Delenda Est. Forget about the Empire 2 and LotR overhaul mods. Meanwhile the gaming news media is simping for the "playable 50 MINOR factions [that were already in the game]" when in the now death Workshop you have entire mods that added even more factions (like China, Korea, Mongolia) and provinces. >"Now pay 40€ for the """totally niu""" edition, goy!" - CA >https://youtu.be/dsm3LysR3Wc >https://youtu.be/QBrYURVVbBs

Volound, Complete Edition, to mean one that contains all expansions/DLC has been used since forever.

How is modern TW gameplay worse than old ones? I remember playing M2 and it was fucking boring. Takes forever to train troops, you do two battles in which you do hammer and anvil, and you win the game.

Why is Rome Remastered a fiasco? It looks like a good remaster to me, just an updated to modern systems game. Why would Shogun 2 complete be a disaster? It looks like just an updated old game with some bonus stuff, a complete package.

>Remember the fiasco that was R1 remaster in 2021 You mean the cheap, optional, superior version of the game? Yes >Shogun 2's Steam page and Workshop have suffered a Carthago Delenda Est. Forget about the Empire 2 and LotR overhaul mods. Uhh...How? They didn't change default Shogun 2 so why would it change anything? Mods still work and you're literally lying. Do you think modders are beyond porting their work into what is essentially the same game engine?But by all means, keep doom posting over an objective upgrade for $10 that adds new features and is going to revitalize the most unique multiplayer in TW history because we always have to be contrarian on these boards

"complete edition" actually means that this pack for the game comes with everything since shogun 2 was separated in various DLC.

what is surprising to me is the outsourcing the remaster to have an upscaling in 4k od textures, UI and shit like that. no one cared, so it doesn't make sense. the only thing that could made worth while the money put down is the chinese and jap localization, to sell sh2 like a new game for those markets, but maybe china could be into it, maybe since it's japan, but in the emperor's land? the jap don't play pc games, strategy games even less, so I don't even know who is this for, maybe some get alpha who only played warhammer?

It's officially over for the demastered edition. >removed FMVs due to flash depreciation, replaced with garbage "authentic" remakes >no bugs will be fixed, "to maintain the vanilla experience" >polish dev team confused by the existence of mods, probably explains why all mods were killed >act like making a literally who island faction is a great accomplishment, despite that being easily moddable That will be 70 dollars plus tip.

The problem isn't that they used AI. The big fuckup was that they used it INCOMPETENTLY! They butchered the game's art with some godforsaken model that was improperly trained.

Do you guys think the company they outsourced it too charged so little to CA that CA still made money off of the morons who went "I hate it and it sucks but it's Total War so I have to buy it" or did the company charge CA out the ass for what is essential 3rd world coders and AI?

If they ever 'fix' this mess, the proper thing to do would be to give it free for existing the owners which they obviously will never do. At the very least they should make the loyalty discount permanent and keep the original listed.

Does this retroactively fuck people who already own Shogun 2? I'm not gonna care if I can still play the one I already have installed.

CA really needs some real competition so bad. 2 decades of being the only studio in the genre has warped their senses beyond recognition. The symptoms were already showing by Rome 2, and then Warhammer money and that alien game completely blinded them making them believe they finally were in the big boys club. Pic related is the kind of shit that only big developers with gorillions of dollars can afford to lose, how they weren't wiped from the face of the earth by SEGA is baffling to me.

There is CA ex-employee running damage control on this on reddit. He is keeping in touch with friends at CA and shares this. He proved he worked at CA 3 years ago https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/189486q/i_figured_out_a_way_to_publicly_confirm_i_worked/https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/1x6xkmy/exca_guy_here_ama/ tl;dr >Shogun 2 CE was indeed some SEGA suit idea, not CA's >CA is stretched thin between TWW3 and TW40K and started Med3 and didn't have the time for this >That's why SEGA outsourced this to a third party studio >SEGA became more controlling over CA after Hyeanas fiasco, in which higher ups too lost jobs >This project was one of the results of SEGA taking more proactive role >Metaboo were prohibited from using AI and still deny they used it with SEGA investigating it >CA warned SEGA this will not work, but they weren't pushing hard enough to stop it. CA even used some examples from game as an argument to delay/stop it, but some veterans said it looks acceptable enough and that out-weighted CA arguments >TW40k is Total War game with the most effort ever put into any TW >Youtubers and playerbase shitting on historical games like Pharaoh before release, discouraging people from buying them and those games not selling means that less resources will be put into historical titles and they are harder to justify. At this point they are basically passion projects only like Med3 which CA makes against all reason >New engine happened mostly due to Covid where they had a lot of money to spare >TWW3 Siege rework isn't actually real and they have no idea how to fix them which is why it's always one patch away >The absolute clusterfuck trilogy approach caused and inability to easily port features and content from one branch to another was one of the reason for new engine which apparently may let them port features easier >They would like to support TWW3 even more, but they are struggling to come up with ideas for more at this point

I am a lonely guy, I work and play videogames, but how much of a retard must have you be to purchase any vg at lunch today? Especially from a company like CA It doesn't matter if is fault of SEGA or CA, the brand is in shamble since empire, 2009. 3K and WH brought in new people, who liked the game because was their first TW, but there are more concerning problems than bugs or prices in the brand,and the biggerst one is that CA can't make a decent idea of gameplay since Rome 1. Empire was a disaster, Shogun2 was polished but no gameplay, a retarded campaign with the only thing going the meme units for breaking the metà of "snipe enemy general and then rearcharge". FOTS was not a product of CA, was a aussie studio. Rome2 is shit, Attila is shit with the worst grand campaign ever, pasta the first 30 turns and killed the majority of barba factions, a map with no one else except the unkillable huns (for another 80 turns). Total war had to wait GW and someone outside CA for making a decent campaign, they don't want another history title because they have no idea how to making it interesting. Pharaon is not bring because is bronge Age, is boring because TW is boring since rome1
