So a copy of Empire: Total War was waiting for me in the mail this morning. Exciting, right? I mean the game won't be out for another two days and here's a copy ready to go! But no. As far as I can tell the game won't install intil it is officially released on Steam, which means I'm stuck having to read the manual and caress the cover for the next 48 hours.

I might just go insane...

If you find yourself whispering the words "my precious...." involuntarily, drop the box and go seek psychological evaluation.

My 2c.

Lol!  Ouch.  Please tell me you didn't pay for expedited shipping.  Double whammy!

Been playing it for the last 6 hours and .... I do "not" like it.

Actually turned it off thinking how unfinished and clumsy the controls and conbat feels.

Im a massive Total war fan, from shogun all the way to medieval 2 (+ every expansion pack and many many mods)

Maybe Im just tired of the same type of game? More than likely its because this game don't feel good or play very good. DISAPPOINTED MASSIVELY
