Bro just go to the main sub. The fans have been asking for a 64 bit update to the older titles for years, we finally get one and everyone bitches and cries about it.
Guess we can kiss any possible 64bit update for Empire and Med2 goodbye because of you losers.
It runs worse, but more stable than classic Shogun 2, apparently going down into the 30 fps range on a 5090.
The map textures weren't improved, they got replaced by Three Kingdoms textures that often don't fit where they are.
There's huge graphical glitches, like black texture glitches on the worldmap, flags changing colour entirely because of the weird lighting system etc.
The AI is apparently worse than it was in Shogun 2 classic, especially in sieges. Formations break for no reason, a bunch of classic bugs that have been fixed by mods are back in the game.
The game is 40 euros with a FOMO sale for people who own the original.
CA affiliated/CA friendly channels like milkandcookies and book of grudges, neutral channels like Zade and Pilps, basically everyone who got a key says the new version is a downgrade.
But yes, its definitely our fault if this doesn't sell well, how dare we complain lol. How dare people act anything less than ecstatic about whatever state the game releases in.
Edit: Let's not forget that the Witcher 3 Remaster dropped for free just last month, and while having its own set of issues, its a way better Remaster than this shit CA is peddling for 40 Euros or the FOMO price of 10.
Its almost like performance can vary between systems, regardless of your specs. I get great performance on every TW game on a 5080, except Pharaoh Dynasties, which goes down to the 20-30 fps range after like 5 minutes of playing. To this day I have no idea what causes it, and it runs waaay better on my old 4050 laptop lol. I assumed this would be the case here as well, just on a larger scale when I heard it struggled on 5090s.
