The Gaul Expansion is available for pre-order now on Steam for 10% off at $13.49. Activates on Dec. 12th I believe. I don't know why they even ask me if I want to purchase it. They know I'm their Total War Bitch. Steam should just save time and go ahead and bill my account. :-[

I definitely want it but I am going to be disciplined and play through some of my other new titles first...I have been making some slow and steady progress through my back catalogue. And I also want to play through an Iceni campaign first, before the new DLC.

I am going to take a gamble and hope it will be at a higher discount once the Steam X-mas sales start. :)

Most everything is as cheap or cheaper on their last minute sale.. and pretty much everything is in it.

Yes...but then I can't have it the first day! Why buy tommorow what I can by today for twice as much!

Had to dig this up from a couple pages back....

Is the game worth it at $23? I have read a lot of negative press and information across the web, where does it stand currently?

Thanks,

PE

I thinks it's a deal for 23 bucks, with all the patches in place now it's a good game.

Gusington · December 10, 2013, 08:22:37 PM

Total steal for 23.00...don't believe all the negative hype.

mikeck · December 10, 2013, 08:39:09 PM

Agreed. Plus, with all of the mods, you can change whatever you don't like.

Grim.Reaper · December 10, 2013, 08:40:07 PM

I'd buy it for $20 just to watch the pretty graphics:)

I'm a bit wary of the release date. This Thursday? Seems a bit rushed to me. Didn't Nappy come out a full year after Empire?

mikeck · December 10, 2013, 09:32:21 PM

If you mean the "Caesar in Gaul" DLC, it has been moved to Dec 19 release. I think it's a bit less involved than Nappy

Gusington · December 10, 2013, 09:56:37 PM

You know I didn't even notice that it was pushed back. Rome II is calling me back, but I am enjoying the other stuff I am playing now. That said I am looking forward to see what all the patching has done in the last few months and I want to try that all in one mod...Radious IIRC.

So this is indeed a good game as it stands now, if it were purchased today?

Admittedly I've not looked at one review or gameplay video of this one, until today. I looked at Angry Joe's review and he was, of course, less than happy. Then again, the video came out on 9/9. If it's patched up and working well now, this is something that I will need to put into my queue.
