Attila: Total War

[Sir Slash]

I pre-ordered weeks ago and got 20% off at Greenman. But it's too early for me to think about Attila yet. I don't want to risk having any "Performance" issues with my current games. Game-tile Dysfunction is a serious affliction. :P

I was thinking the same...I too am not ready yet, despite preordering. Maybe I am not as excited as I thought I was. Maybe I'mtoo into WWII Eastern Front games right now. Maybe I'm too excited for Homeworld to come out.

Maybe I need some gaming Viagra.

I've been playing Rome 2 with the sound mod that changes the music back to Rome 1 and now I can't stop that music playing in my head. But at least it covers up the voices.

So getting close to release and still haven't pre order....I am sure to cave at some point.  Saw this preview and does intrigue me, especially the parts about the battles being more dynamic.

  I was going to Pre-order, but I'll wait til I get a new game machine: March?  April?  Next Year?  The Year  After That?

Still deciding myself.......I might as well do it since I know when I see other people playing it, I'll buy it anyway, might as well save a few bucks.

Sounds like preloads start tonight, although probably depends on what place you purchased.  They also released a game guide.

Hmm I haven't got any notices from Green Man about a pre-load. Loin-moistening nonetheless. I wonder...should I halt my WWII Eastern Front binge and begin an Imperial Roman binge?

Saw someone imply that gmg won't get until release day, not sure if true or not.

[Gusington]

Really? Hrmph.

[GDS_Starfury]

continue on your East Front quest young man!

[Gusington]

It's difficult to pull away, I'll admit. But...the Vandals are coming. As are the Alans. Still Eastern Front just 1750 years earlier. I'm torn!

I purchased through Greenman too and have also not received a pre-load notification either. Their pre-purchase policy says they will send out purchase keys on the day of release or, a couple of days before hand dependent on the publisher. I hope we won't have to wait too long because that's the whole reason for pre-purchase isn't it? For Rome 2, I was already loaded and  playing on the morning it released. Looking at the Goths or Franks for a first start because I like factions that are easy to spell and pronounce.

I was expecting your link to take me to a review...not so Peter. Is the review on the site?

Blues News is a news aggregator of sorts. Look at the bullet points under Game Reviews. There are five hyperlinks. I read the Gamespot one, which basically advises waiting for the patches. http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/total-war-attila-review/1900-6416029/

I also noticed Evolve has a review, and that one tells me to pass on it. A shame, as I thought it might be fun.
