Shogun 2 : total war

Zen_ · Mar 15, 2011

Little off topic but has anyone used Amazon's direct download? It's $10 less than Steam and I have a gift card. Kinda curious if it's reliable because a lot of their games are much less than Steam.

hrm, well if bc2 also crashes on you then you need a fresh format. you screwed something up somewhere with your drivers and hardware configuration. probably an extreme move but it should fix everything.

You know, if he installs Windows, it's not gonna work right.

lol the crashes in BC2 are a powersupply or mobo issue, which icant currently fix some games work others dont, BC2 is one that dosent, Shogun II seems to work at least in sorry state, as does Burnout Paradise but thats about it of a 100 games 2 work due to power issues. anyway dosent matter i bought the Limited Edition and it wont let me use the hattori faction or even use the key for that content, man this launch is a fucking mess again reminds me of Empire

eh give it a week and theyll get a hotfix out for most the issues. campaign is playable and enjoyable. multiplayer is a bit laggy right now, played my first battle tho and owned some guy.

crazyeyesreaper · Mar 15, 2011

well yea games playable but why did i have to order a physical copy to get an extra faction only to then be denied the content im suppose to have? thats just bullshit and everyone knows it, it would be like buying Dragon Age Origins Ultimate edition but they wont let you play Awakening lol use whatever game with extra content you want you get the idea. and sega support is fucking terrible

you sure its a steam key and not somewhere ingame?

Easy Rhino · Mar 15, 2011

crazy, the amount of computer problems you have is baffling.

crazyeyesreaper · Mar 15, 2011

its a cd key to unlock bonus content, steam says its invalid there is no other place to redeem the key its a steamworks game it needs steam for just about everything. and im not the only one with the issue seems a few others that im friends with on TWC sent me PMs there they have the same issue i have limited edition content code is invalid.

most of the other issues rhino are failing hardware, it happens when your not the first owner of something, i think im 3rd or 4th owner of this motherboard and 3rd owner of this psu. shit happens

then of course if you pre ordered from say Amazon a large portion of users who bought the Limited Edition were shipped regular version because amazon ran out and didnt even bother to inform there customers of the switch, in general the Shogun II release has just been shitty lol i was lucky enough to get the version i paid for, but others were not

Replace 1's with i's and o's with 0's.

Easy Rhino · Mar 16, 2011

ok im installing from CD right now.

Hm, been playing for about 4 hours now. The flow of the game is pretty fast unlike Empire Total war. I slacked for few turns and my surrounding clans are literally dominating the whole area. lol

DannibusX · Mar 16, 2011

I often wish I still had the money to afford new games, the good news is I'll be able to pick it up on sale one of these days.

ya the ai are super expansionist. Hard to keep even a trade agreement going imo

the multiplayer is cool, liking the leveling my general

Easy Rhino · Mar 16, 2011

i cant believe nobody has posted screens.

here i am storming some lamers fort...

crazyeyesreaper · Mar 16, 2011

im playing as the Date clan ive subjugated and made the Mogami Clan my vassals ive killed Uesugi Kenshin and taken the 2 northen territories established trade the Ainu, and have expanded south even had a close battle the Hojo clan which i barely won as i was outnumbered 2:1, ill try and record the battle via Fraps and upload it later, it was hard fought victory i only managed to win due to exploiting the superior position and terrain.

Easy Rhino · Mar 16, 2011

this game is very polished. the art is fantastic and the gameplay is very crisp. it has a very nice touch to it. i cant wait to get dx 11 rolling on it to make it look even better. i have so much to learn about this one. it is way different than medieval 2.

ShiBDiB · Mar 16, 2011

For the record.. were currently winning our bracket with 3 territories capped.. by we i mean me and my friend who isnt even on tpu in the tpu group haha

Hi everyone, we thought some things should be cleared up and decided to post a new thread to keep all comments in one place.

Firstly, the reason the announcement of DX11 coming in a patch was a few weeks before release is because it was when the decision was made. We wanted to release Shogun 2 as stable as possible for everyone so pushed DX11 back to make it as good as we can. The patch for DX11 will be out within 4 weeks.

There is no AA in DX9 because of changes to the lighting system in Shogun 2. We now use deferred shading, the wiki article actually mentions some of the problems relating to it and AA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_shading

We are committed to making Shogun 2 the very best game it can be, and we believed it is an excellent game. We understand your frustration with recent news, but we want your game experience to be the best it can be for everyone.

DX10.1 will also have AA, DX10 will not. Both will also be enabled with the DX11 patch.

Hope this has cleared some things up.

Aahh...Date. Date Masamune to be exact. He's so badass he only has one eye. Nicknamed the "One-Eyed Dragon" (while his personal retainer, Katakura Kagetsuna (Koujurou), is the "Right-Eye of the Dragon").

Was that a conscious choice or just on a whim? Because Date is the founder of Sendai. His lands are the whole north-east of Honshu.
