Yeah the special forces is crap...IGN review...9.5...Possibly only Starcraft 2 can top this game this year(for PC game lah)...

BTW what did IGN review give M2TW? I remembered that they wanted this game to top M2TW.

PC Gamer US gave Empires Total War a 94%.

Sounds more and more tempting by the day.

Naval war still looks hard for me......too new experience for total war...land war i good on it like playing total war medieval

Just wanna confirm..So my graphic card is 128Mb..So my laptop cant play the damn game at all? Even at Low settings?

it is not supported...your own risk...not recommended

You can always try out the demo 1st.

I am thinking whether to buy this or DOW2. Since DOW2 is cheaper and review also not bad BUT its single player campaign is not that well received. Though Total War is more expensive, its single player campaign make people go ga ga over it. However, RM179 is really expensive to be honest. Am struggling whether to buy it or not. Another option is also to get my friend to buy it for me in Singapore. Hope its SGC50. After conversion, cheaper than in Malaysia.

+RM30 for an insanely long campaigns (conquer the world as realistic as possible) and singleplayer replayability is quite worth it imo. The multiplayer part too is huge like the singleplayer mode.

But two of em are difficult to compare. One is superfast action and one is slow marching.

And i heard from gamefaq's forum that the load time in the demo is sooo long because everytime you play the game it need to unzip all the data to load. So in retail the load time should be much faster. Wonder if it is true or not?

It had better be.

I'm running a laptop with an 8600GS + 120GB HDD(two partition) and a T7100 proc.

The load times take forever as with two partitions, the 5400rpm disc is even slower. But i don't have any problems playing ETW as long as i don't play at medium. I can run L4D, TF2 fine. Eve Crysis ran at all LOW but the fps was 15. LOL.

Really not recommended. The demo may not actually be a representation of the final game. Considering the minimum is 256MB VRAM, the developers can always break his experience with patches etc...that is why i don't recommend him buying the game unless he gets a new GC.

PS : FYI The demo/beta of World In Conflict worked for Intel GMA users...the final game didn't...Moral of the story...you should always take the minimum requirement seriously...that is the cut off point that the developers will support.

Empire has long load times...final version has been optimised(it does load faster than the demo loading times)...the main screen pause doesn't happen in the final version...and yeah it could be because it is compressed.

Any idea on the availability in Malaysia? The game is coming out tomorrow (4th) right?

I think temptation is going to be too big for me to resist, the huge single player campain should do the trick...

I have been told by distributer that it should be released on the 6th here.

i'm really looking forward to the games naval battle....
i haven't been able to play a nice 18th century naval battle experience
so i hope this would be up to my expectation...

Thanks frags

I will be looking around at the end of the week then!

And yar, I am looking forward to the game also because this period has not been exploited too much (WW2 is nice and all, but it's getting a bit overcrowded there for example)

imma buy this game...btw special edition can get 2 special units rite?

Special forces edition...you get 6 extra units

the sea waves looks so real in the game...

I saw somewhere the package for limited edition with a box, compass and tincan. Is this for real? I think not.

Why pcgame's special forces edition got history channel dvd while tsb don't have?

The Wooden box is a Collectors Edition available for OZ and NZ only...History channel DVD? No idea...perhaps while stocks last.
