It's a huge get, not only the 1 year exclusivity, but free for 24 hours at release? They must've backed up the Brink's truck to Creative Assembly's headquarters for that one.

Free on the 13th (until 12:00 PM PST, Aug. 14th), to keep; for sale afterwards. 

 

 

 

Then in August of 2021, releases on Steam

I know  I was just referencing whoever it was that got into an long several page argument that they didn’t know if gtav was free for a week or forever.

Wait, were you trying to burn up Jehurey's daily post count with that post?

So I assumed this would be the equivalent of a small spin off, but its actually a full fledged Total War release

 

 

Having all the depth, features, and mechanics of a major era Total War game, Total War Saga titles offer a comparable number of factions, heroes, and settlements to their core counterparts as well as hundreds of hours of gameplay potential.

 

 

I always respected this series and what it did but It didn't seem like something that I could get into (im very picky with strategy games). But I will definitely check this one out.

The Saga Series  for Total War are designed to be a much more focused period, with more fleshed out factions, as compared to the more sandbox designs of their Grand titles like Empire (compared to say Napoleon), like Shogun 2, Thrones of Britannia, and now Troy.

 

The thing is this allows them to focus in on 6-8 factions and develop a game around them, as opposed to this massive title that span multiple centuries like Med 2, Rome 2, Empire; but also needs like 2+ years to develop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, new Trailer.

To certain degree yes; but by far the best quality of live improvement you'll see with these games is an SSD.

 

 

The scale means you don't need 60 FPS (your not zoomed in long enough) to enjoy it, but at the same time the sheer scale of the game means you come to appreciate what's unfolding. However, any modern (2015+) CPU is more than adequate, and your GPU will determine the level of graphics to maintain a stable 30+ FPS.

 

But, what you will be doing is loading; a lot of it. Into the game, into your campaign, into battles, out of battles, end turn time (the wait period between your next turn, when the AI moves), so that's the most important thing with these games now.

Also, this is Free, next Thursday, August 13th.

Oh fuck yes.
