I heard it was bugged out the A$$. Almost unplayable.
(But New Vegas was too, and New Vegas is the Best Game I have played in the past 10 years and the most buggiest).
Now, my Favorite game of all time.
Of all of them. Ever.
Is The Original Rome: Total War
It is a game that never ends.
The experience was nothing short of amazing. I gave my Legions names and history and wrote them down on paper, long before you could do that officially in-game.
I was so disappointed to hear about Rome II's Problems.
I have found that Rome 2 is pretty good. On occasion I do get the ‘Application Not Responding’ thing, but on fully 50% of those times, it’s because it’s cranking through some stuff. If I wait, I get my game back.
Rome 2 is nice because I can alt-tab to other stuff, and if I tab back (and am patient) I get my game back where I left off.
It’s not been that buggy, but I did have to upgrade my graphics card. The old one couldn’t deal.
I’m enjoying the hell out of TW: Rome 2
