Think I'll be giving Total War Rome 2 a miss. Reviews have been very disappointing.
I've been playing it and it's not bad. There's some bugs so if you don't mind waiting around 2-weeks to a month, I think the majority of them will get stamped out. A few new systems to learn about (still trying to figure out how to balance politics between the factions within Rome). Like any other TW game, putting it down is difficult (just one more turn) initially. We'll see if it can hold my attention for another few weeks.
Campaign map is massive. Cities now belong to provinces, which gives the player incentives to hold all the cities within a province by allowing you to enact province-wide edicts that confer bonuses.
I will report back after I check out today's patch and see if I notice any improvements in gameplay.
