Dear /v/.

Since GOG started adding newer Total War games, which one of these three are actually worth playing, assuming Im not very familiar with series? Thanks in advance.
>>
Play Medieval 2, Shogun 2, or Attila instead. All three of these are trash.
>>
any, theyre all crap

>atilla
Stop recommending a failed rome 2 mod they tried to sell at full price
>>
>>733798237
Shogun 2 or Rome 2
>>
>>733799194
Why exactly you suggest these three and why you called others trash?

>>733799532
Sadly, Shogun 2 is not yet available on GOG but surely will come at some point.

If you are going off just those three, Rome 2. 3k has a better diplomacy component, but the gameplay is meh. Dynasties just feels off to me. I tried a few runs and got bored. They added a bunch of resources and units use multiple resources for upkeep. But the factions/units seem off to me. I get it is the time frame, but having a faction of shitty dudes on foot with clubs and spears against factions with wider unit selection was a turn off. There are ways to get other units, but it was too much of a hassle.

With rome 2, you can play as one of the Roman houses and kill barbarians.

ROME II is antiquity kino that you should experience
>>
>>733798237
Of those 3, only 3K. Records mode is half arsed, and its buggy, but its been the best total war experience in a long time.
>>
>>733798237
3 kingdoms is ok if you like dynasty warriors.

The rest are hot garbage
>3k
>all the factions play the same minus 1 or 2 unique units
>hero units out the ass
>gay combat pentagram
>the factions dont use ROT3K colors (wu is yellow???)
>ai is particularly shit and can be easily exploited
>solid 6/10 only because I like Lu bu and the setting

>Rome 2
>javlines and singers are absolutely broken
>seige battles are buggy as hell
>anything involving a boat is not fun
>lmao the senate system is bad
>all the side factions play the same
>abandoned immediatly with tons of bugs and problems
>ai is bricked, completely
>solid 4/10 it was cool seeing Rome again.

>Pharoah
Never played it. Looked trash. Learned my lesson after Rome 2 to never play a historical title again.
>>
Makes one wonder how Total War games still sells so good if each new game is apparently bad.
>>
>>733799326
Attila has better gameplay but shittier time period.
>>
>>733798237
Rome 2 is ok. Really, boils down to what historical periods you like.
>>
>>733798237
Do any of these games follow the First Crusade?
>>
Pharaoh got such a bad wrap at launch but as it stands it’s one of the best Total War games ever. Just the way the battle’s are big enough to accommodate light infantry and light cav in the late game as scouts, the weather changing and affecting the battle, even small shit like how the economy works or each nation’s unique flavor; it really is underrated. I recommend giving it a try. I’ve been playing since Empire (plus Medieval 2) and it really impressed me

I’m retarded.

Pick Rome 2.
It was completely broken at launch but CA kept updating it for years until it turned decent enough.

Three Kingdoms had a solid launch, but CA clearly had no idea of where to take it and kept adding more broken features and bugs with every update.
They eventually scrapped all the DLC plans they had already announced and left it to rot.

>Paraoh
No one played this.

3 Kingdoms is good, Pharoh is okay if you don't a tually play as Egypt and use chariots as little as possible.
