i love the total war series, but i was real let down when i saw metacritic reviews from users. lots of bugs and optimization issues. i might wait for a few patches. money is tight and decisions must be made.


As someone who has owned and played Total War games since my younger years (I'm 22 now) I have to say that pretty much every total war game launch experience I've had there are a lot of glitches/crashes. I've come to accept it because they always send out patches to fix them up. Makes me feel like a hypocrite with all my disliking of Bethesda.

Anyway, I won't be getting this game because my 5 year old xps laptop probably can't handle it. It plays Rome, Medieval 2 really well. It plays Empire and Shogun better than Rome and Medieval (for whatever reason) but I just can't see it being able to play this. That being said I did hear recently (maybe ign?) that Rome 2 is designed to be played by a wider range of computers than total war games in the past so maybe I can?

I have 4 g ram (3.5 due to windows 7)
32 bit windows 7
Processor: Intel(R) core 2 duo cpu t8300@2.4GHz
Nvidia GeForce 8500M GT

Anyone got any idea if my xps can handle this?


Min requirements are 2gb of ram. 

My pc has 6gb of ram and a 2.5 year old cpu and gpu and i can run it on ultra. The game isn't really graphically impressive so its fine. 

How does that makes sense? These games have always seemed to push pc's to the max when they are released. Why did they make this one so that it could work with lower end pcs? Or why didn't they do that with the previous instalments? 

Well the game has 7 or 8 video settings. And the game pushes more on scale then on graphical prowess, which is why it stutters a bit.
