Total War: Shogun 2 interview by PICO

[KidKobun]

Kieran...pssst, you're boring. Yell during your interviews. Jerk.

[frederikomland]

Worst total war game. This game sucked monkeydick

[haterofterrorism]

1 question how the fuck does the avatar conquest work

[BlackPanteraSociety]

@haterofterrorism

You have to play it to understand it...trust me

[paardekopje]

Is it just me or is the Hojo clan leader gay?

Look at 2:00 :P

[djnero78]

@paardekopje lol, i doubt it, eastern people are less confused about things, if you can get people to be confused about their sexuality then you can get them to be confused about anything, why do you think most priests and lords are anal aviators lol

[paardekopje]

@djnero78 But it sure looks like the daimyo is married to a dude.

There is a male head instead of a female head next to the daimyo's head at the top of the

familytree :P.

Ah well, I always thought the Hojo were a strange bunch.

[djnero78]

@paardekopje hahah

[12345668587]

No,I will lead the TAKEDA Clan to victory ,you fools shall be deAd!!

[MrEvilpieman]

9 day 9 gos damn days y y can't you release now y

[Baleur]

Pico, in your eyes I saw what was in your mind ;o

[12345668587]

I will become Shogun of Japan,and you fools can't stop me!

[MrEvilpieman]

i can and will hahahaha i am the true shogun and YOU CAN"T STOP ME!!!! HAHAHAHAHA

[kjscfc1863]

Is this Porn?!?!?!?!?!

[romans122]

That guy is gettin' laid tonight haha!

[Matt68046]

i dont see how 150 x20 (3000) x 2 players = 56,000 men but oh well, and second they need more to the campaign mode like more options with taxes and diplomacy more stuff you can tinker with

[BANDAR9225]

i hope my mind like his mind very very smart in the name of gad

[runnertje2]

am i the only one who think the red head is ugly...??

[Goosesteps]

@runnertje2 Yes.

[texaschizophrenic]

FUCK YEAH CAN'T WAIT FOR SHOGUN TWO

[TheSubzero0143]

they should have a demo like just a battle or atleast 10 turn demo =(. im dieing from just wanting this game -.- yes i know im a gamer but i the game footage are killing me its cuz it looks good

[IrishPersonNumber3]

Well if they made a modern game that would take 2 3 mabye 4 years because thay have to have planes and think of putting those on the campaign map and helicopters and puttin machine guns into block formations and taxes wouldnt make sense

[shw1ft]

i like the music.. and yes i admit the chick is cute

[renaee342]

I have 2 things to say, I hope they dont have retarded steam involved in this game and my second thing would be why aren't they making a modern type of total war, dont we all think 10 years is enough time for a modern one.

[uzo70]

@renaee342 Steam is involved and you can't play it with out a Steam account and the don't make a modern one is then they need to make tanks and airplanes and the groups will be to small

[renaee342]

@uzo70 Not if they create an whole new engine, plus the engine that they have now is fine for a modern game all they have to do is swap tanks for elephants there almost the same size in the game.Air planes are perfectly fine as well.They can make a modern game that will play beautifully, its just that people dont want a modern game because their used to oldish tactics and thats the playing range they feel more comfortable around, but the unit cap can stay the same.I guarantee you it would becool

[uzo70]

@renaee342 maybe but it will be like Nuke...... nation destoyed and just firering missiles from you capital that is not fun and I also better like rome and medieval times than modern you got call of duty for that

[renaee342]

@uzo70 Why would you bring call of duty into this debate, call of duty is an fps game.Look I dont want to turn this into an argument because it was my opinion to begin with, so when you reply, reply with logic.Think of nukes as missiles only being shot on the campaign map and can be disabled before the start of the game if the player doesn't like them.You cant say whats fun if you haven't tried it yet.Medieval and Rome total is awesome but its time for a change its way too repetitive.

[uzo70]

@renaee342 let's just say you mean it is time for a change in the Total war series and im okay with that.

and don't think it is time for change and i hope you are okay with that

[Serbia310]

Can't wait to play this!

[ajira2]

NEEEEEEEEED ! *-*

[Yahooh360]

Is she Pico Mause?

[BillZoeker]

@Yahooh360 No, it's the other Pico. :p

[papuruka]

Watched the whole video expecting to hear more of Pico's lovely voice.

Somehow that had the side effect of making me want the game. She should do more previews.

[PicoMause]

@RedTank4 Mirin? The Sweet Japanese cooking wine? :P

[RedTank4]

@PicoMause

oh u ;_;

[halogamer77]

Holy shit I have a Mac and at the very end he said, "As for the Mac version, stay tuned."

[yadidameng]

whaaat? is that really her name? lol lucky. I loved the sega pico when I was a kid =] HELLLLA fun!

[bobajob69]

4:43 Kieran goes in for a kiss and Pico turns away lol

[TannzorMania]

The Total War series needs to come to Mac because the only one that's on the Mac now is ROME: Total War (Gold Edition) but that's still an amazing game. Seriously though, Creative Assembly and SEGA should male these games compatible with Macintosh software. The Mac needs more games :/

[plasma404]

@TannzorMania it dose but i would rather them not LOL(PC fanboy sorry)

[kilvertm]

Wonder how much she gets paid to look interested.

[cowfordflorida1]

@kilvertm hopefully not a lot, you can easily tell she isn't. what woman can even comprehend war theory and strategy, let alone is interested in it?

[DeuZerre]

@cowfordflorida1 She's a journalist, so she knows how to fake beeing interested and laught at stupid jokes/acting like a kid.

Anyway, some women are particularly able in strategy; It's just that history's military is fundamentaly sexist, and never let women the chance of showing it. Women know how to read the other ones, that is a fundamental trick in strategy.

[kombatzero]

if my pc dont run this then shogun total 2 can rot in HADES

[BillZoeker]

I think I spotted a booger on that girl's face! ................I'm yust kidding!

[Tracerex]

cant wait for giant enemy crab mods

[rprothero12]

Boku no Pico

[norby511]

I have a thing for red heads

[Eregost2]

@norby511 You have to be a redhead to work at Destructoid.

[runnertje2]

@norby511 me to... i want to dye there hair blond

[zombeh42]

It's been said at least 50 times by now, but dammit is she fucking cute.

[ChristTopha]

Can I get Pico in my collectors edition?

[booyaadotorg]

@pico mouse - are you going host one of the rev3/dtoid shows or praps feature on their round table?

[PicoMause]

@booyaadotorg I am at the Rev 3 show just about every shoot. I am floor director/ camera operator. :) Round table, I can't say for sure. I stream everyday though on Justin(dot)tv/destructoid 4PM-8PM Pacific.

[BongRiperson]

HNNNNGGG

[GenoVieBritannia]

"I like your badge" "I like your breasts"

They mean the same thing

[DissidentGenro]

@GenoVieBritannia Shame he didn't do the whole "Nice shoes, wanna fuck?" chat-up line.

[DJsharp707]

@GenoVieBritannia hes such a beast

[TheOnlyCoolestGuy111]

@GenoVieBritannia "I like your Breadge"

[Kulgan84]

First of all, good job with the interview Pico

The game looks great. So far I played "Medieval 2: Total War", which is a predecessor of this game. It has a similar gameplay but obviously takes place in medieval Europe. The Total War-series always is a good choice for strategy fans.

btw: This is Sonntagskind, you might know me from such chatrooms as justintv/destructoid

[Zork1915]

I'd tap that.

[IronBrig4]

@Zork1915 Me too. I want to take Shogun 2 behind the middle school and get it pregnant.

[Zork1915]

@IronBrig4

Word!

[ExeErdna]

great interview pico

[kjettpack]

SHES SO CUTE!

[EssexUK87]

shame background music is too loud

[ImmortalDestructor]

Why would a Japanese company get a British developer to make a game about Japanese history?

[BillZoeker]

@ImmortalDestructor I don't think that's quite how it works... The development company makes these games, and just happen to be owned by SEGA.

[AlasdairD]

@BillZoeker

Yeah, Creative Assembly have been making the Total War games for years now. Sega is the publisher that's all.

[Tracerex]

@ImmortalDestructor

lol if you want to make a game based on japanese history, then the last thing you need is a japanese studio, itll end up with androgynous, emo neon haired teenagers, and 13 year olds girls that can kill thousands of enemy soldiers then get involed in pseudo incestrious antics as a central plot

[Eregost2]

@Tracerex don't forget the giant enemy crabs!

[BillyChaka]

god, she is cute as fuck

[AlasdairD]

My mate Nik would play the shit outta the original Shogun. I think maybe it's time I gave the series a try.

[Whatever4690]

FIX THE AI YOU LAZY PROGRAMMERS.

[Bobthecatlol]

Great interview Pico.

I used to play Shogun but I wasn't sure if I was going to pick up Shogun 2. I probably will pick it up now, my friends are massive rts fans and will probably get this as well.

[revistinha1]

I saw this dude and the little ginger boy the other day on a pr0nz...there was a german guy too...and whipped cream :O

XD jk ..i love u guys...and Pico i'm stalkin you gimme that toothbrush

[PicoMause]

@revistinha1 LOL! They be trollin', they creepin'... :D

[BillZoeker]

@PicoMause Tryin' ta catch me lurkin' durtay! Pico, I have it from solid sources that you are actually two Boglins in a trench coat. Care to comment on these accusations?

[Masasoul]

SCHEGAA

PIIICO

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

[Theicemonkeyjr]

The samurai look so much more bad-ass than any other total war units the way they charge forward ready for death :3

[Makkah0901]

'I like your badge'. Oh Kieran you so funny!

[PicoMause]

Did you guys catch the leak? I want the special edition. The Hattori will be a fun group to play, all ninja like :D

[6621790]

Faggs now you miss out on a faction if you dont pay extra fuck this game my principles do not allow me to buy it (Goes back to rome and empire total war)

[BillZoeker]

@6621790 I didn't realize people who use the word "faggs" had such vehement principles

[pauloman16]

@6621790 ewww... So you screw this epic game for empire, which was a total fuck up.

I think Rome and Shogun are both worthy of beeing made epic. Still all of those Rome whiners I don't understand them. If Rome is made later. The graphics and the game will be better then Shogun. So you'll get your thrill eventually.

GIVE DEMO OF SHOGUN!!!

[6621790]

@pauloman16 well it means i will have to wait longer for rome 2 total war

[6621790]

faggs not you miss out on a faction fuck this game (goes back to rome total war)

[ZenithMournsNoMore]

Whoever does not buy this day one, dishonours their family and shall be commanded to take their own life by way of seppuku.

[psych0tic855]

pico's so cute

[Aidsking]

@psych0tic855 cute, but shouldn't talk.

[BillZoeker]

This might be the first large-scale strategy game I play for more than five minutes! :p

[LiamNeesonsDick]

@BillZoeker

>never played any of the other Total War games, let alone for hours on end

What the fuck?

[BillZoeker]

@LiamNeesonsDick I just don't usually get into the genre. This game interests me though.

[LiamNeesonsDick]

@BillZoeker

You're missing out.

Rome, Medieval, and Napoleon are all amazing. 

[PicoMause]

Seeing it in person, it had a really nice feel. Going to pick it up for sure. :D

[Toracsian]

Even though I still have doubts about the game I'm still gonna' buy it on day one
