Quick Look: Total War: Shogun 2

wow

The Total War games have always interested me, but I don't want to put in the time to actually play them correctly.

Engineer run Quick Look. THEY'RE TAKING OVER MAN!!!

 Zojirushi total coffee the revenge of the beans

Sweet

Everybody is cutting  Zojirushi deals these days, poor Jeff

Dave is getting paid by  zojirushi as well!?!?!? :)

war  never changes but it does look prettier, i recall back in my days of PC gaming being really into the total war series, this would almost convince me to buy a new PC except that still wouldn't help because I'm flat out BROKE!

Mike and Dave quick look? Swag.

Sweet Plebus, it won't be for another 2.5 hours until I can watch this.

Glad to see David and Michael back

NICE! Very much appreciated 

its the TOP MEN

Top Men! 

WHAT WHAT

YESS The return of Mike

FUCK YES! 

Love these PC quick looks with Dave and Mike.

MIKE IS BACK!

For being such a fan of RTT games Mike's kinda awful at them. You know what I'd like to see one day? Him taking his time with strategizing and actually WINNING a battle. Personally I'd find that way more enjoyable than the typical "let's not read anything and try to plow through this as fast as possible" Quick Look approach.

GOTY contender in the house! ^^

Nice, a Mike Horn and Dave Snyder PC QL. 

eight quick looks in a week (so far) that has to be a record! 
keep 'em coming

calvelry

am I a bad person for loving all of the economy and management stuff and not caring about the combat stuff?

" Dave is getting paid by  zojirushi as well!?!?!? :) "

That wasn't super enthusiastic. Also why didn't you guys show more of the good looking cool stuff , like the cool movies when the ninjas tries to assassinate someone or some close ups on the charging or tell us about the coop campaign!
 
Sell us on the game Mike !  Enthusiasm !!!! 
  
Help save the dying platform that is the PC.   Please !

Dave was right. Daimyo is pronounced die myoh not die moe.

Dave, are you ever going to do a quicklook of the Precursors? It's crazy, it's way overambitious, it's Ukranian, it's right up your alley.

Shame Mike's voice distorts so much.

Mike, Dave AND Total War? Hell yeah

Mike!! Yay! It's been too long!!

Mike always makes for some pretty boring quick looks. =/

That was a good quicklook :D

While I usually love every QL with Dave this one was kind of awful. Mike's a pretty cool Guy but he just doesn't know his shit when it comes to this Game. He says the Strategy Map stuff isn't fun, he just bunches his units up and simply tells everyone to attack instead of using strategy and he tells his Archers to attack Sword Retainers. Also this quick look was short as hell and didn't represent what the Game is about at all! He didn't show the diplomacy or economy part, he didn't really elaborate on the goal of the Campaign and it didn't show any of the new features like leveling up Agents and Generals or mastering the Arts!
 
This is a shame since Shogun 2 is already one of the best Games released this Year and I was really looking forward to the Quick Look. :(

Always like watching vids of Total War games, but when I actually go and play them, well....I get bored. And I have no clue why, sadly prob the same case with Shogun 2.

Giant Bomb is kinda making me feel ashamed for what my criticisms towards them about the past couple of months.
 
I'm glad to see a slew of QL's coming out, though.
