Hiatus on New Game Buying

Bison · February 13, 2012, 08:32:13 PM

Why wouldn't you just order from Steam since it's required anyway?

Gusington · February 13, 2012, 08:33:31 PM

There are three different pre-orders with three different clans that come with each.

I'll pick it up from Gamersgate since I have that handy-dandy lifetime 15% off code:)

Bison · February 13, 2012, 08:37:30 PM

You be able to buy all three the week it's released anyway. It's the way of the DLC world.

^That's why I am holding out, even though it may be my favorite game ever.

Bison · February 13, 2012, 08:40:59 PM

I haven't looked at it yet. What's the deal with the clans? Special units or just a re-skin?

Gusington · February 13, 2012, 08:45:15 PM

Both, I think. Just the tip of the iceberg with this release though.

Gus,

Do you have a listing of what pre-order specials are available from the various vendors? I couldn't see anything mentioned on Gamersgate so not sure if that means no specials there.

Bison · February 13, 2012, 08:47:04 PM

Yeah I just looked on Steam and I think you are correct Gus. I don't get the need to make this a stand alone game however.

Same as Napoleon: Total War. Except more gooder. There is a lot of new late 19th century military tech involved in this game. Which makes me salivate.

Steam for the free DLC.

Thanks Gus...just having a hard time matching to Gamersgate since none of those version names are used on the Gamersgate site. I am guessing it might be the limited version, but it doesn't say that. Likely won't impact my buying decision, but was more curious than anything.

Bison · February 13, 2012, 08:55:53 PM

Well I hope it lives up to your expectations. I still mantain that TW game design is best suited for melee based combat over long range black powder.

Gusington · February 13, 2012, 09:00:26 PM

^The beauty of that is that there is both in the upcoming title.

Grim.Reaper I got the Limited Edition for the original Shogun and it had an additional clan as well as some MP stuff that I never use...no big whup.

And Bison is right if we can all just hold out everything will be available as DLC in few weeks after release.

Hiten Mitsuryugi Style, Bismarck!

(I look forward to the mods putting characters from Rurouni Kenshin into the game...)
