McPhee Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Well, it's out! Got it earlier today, really enjoying it. As usual though it's really, really confusing, should take a good few weeks to get to grips with it! So much is done differently!
Nolan Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Only gobbles up a ton of resources. :p I wish we could handle games without loading it. It doesn't gobble my resources, I'm not going to deny it gobbling resources as it's different for everyone, but that's a non-issue for most people. Also, just bought the game, but haven't installed yet.
McPhee Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 haven't installed yet. Enjoy. It's the single most annoying install i've ever had to do. It took 3 hours, mostly because the game wouldn't update! Hopefully they've fixed the glitch by now though...
Nolan Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Took 35 minutes for me, half an hour just to install from the discs, then 5 minutes for the update. Apparently though, my friend took 45 minutes to install FEAR 2.
Dyson Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Red Alert 3 took me 30 minutes to install from disc. It was crazy. Still, 6 or 8gbs worth of game or whatever it is, I suppose it's to be expected.
Ellmeister Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Quite nice, a bit slow in places for me but my laptop isn't the greatest. I just had a look at it, decided to wage war on France very quickly, went to paris and ended up losing astronomically bad since they had a huge army situated there :p I got a mission from the allied nations asking about georgia, france. I have no idea where it is?!? It in america but I have no idea where as the icon doesn't actually take me to it
Nolan Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Georgia is just above Florida, on the east coast. Florida is the peninsula stick out to the south on the east coast of America.
McPhee Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Try just above Florida EDIT: Beaten to it For future reference Google will turn up most of the locations, though the map that came with the SF edition is much more useful
Ellmeister Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Thanks. What does anyone else think of the game then?
The-chosen-one Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 i want this game to but i have doubts i first wait what others have to say about the game? is it really good?
McPhee Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 It's very good, best Total War yet by a long way. There's far more to do in the Grand Campaign than ever before, you get a lot more control over your nation and politics and diplomacy are more important than in previous games. At the moment though there are bugs that need sorting out, your units sometimes decide that they can't be bothered to fire for example, and just stand there doing nothing. I'm getting quite a bit of slowdown on the campaign map and CTDs as well...
