Looks amazing!

I literally came here to make the exact same post. Where the fuck is dat hype? This game is going to riggity rape everything in existence. I have this pre-ordered (like a boss), and I will be seeing my grades decline rapidly after release.

total war series is the same shit all the time, creative assembly are terrible with their fans, some people still haven't got over how bad empire was...

Loved the original Shogun and Rome but never got into medieval - tried Empire but it brought my PC to its knees, despite my having a reasonably beefy rig. 
 
If Shogun 2 is better optimized, I can totally imagine losing myself in it for weeks. 

Maybe cause they´ve been selling this one in the exact same way they´ve sold every other game in the series so far without addressing important issues like "did you fucking fix the god damned siege AI?" and such.  
Still, Im kind of excited for it and will probably get it at some point I guess.

I'm fucking hyped! Most anticipated game this year for me.

I played Rome back in the day and it was too complex. I wouldn't want them to dumb it down for me, but if they did, totally let me know and I'll give it another swing.

Perhaps it's as simple as SEGA being a bad publisher?

I have high hopes for this one. My buddy and I usually play Starcraft II for our RTS fix. This game might not change drastically from previous Total Wars, but the battles and empire mode look pretty polished. Could be the game that surprises most of us, all I'm saying.

Never got into the Total War series and this will be my first, looking forward to it.

Never have played a total war game but Im pretty sure this ones for me, I like rts games like it and the demos have always been fun.

Probably  because my three year old computer won't be able to run it very well, that's why.
