  • @Bacardi4206 different units have different strategies . one of my fav of all total wars are Empire and medieval and shogun 2

  • shogun 2 looks worse than empire total war. trust me, my comp plays full everything maxed antiallaisng

  • @Bacardi4206 I agree up to the diplomacy part, besides trade routes any other types (like alliances) dont do shit

  • @yoda56789 well i am playing as takeda on hard and me and hojo are allied with daughters on both sides longs standign relations and every thing and since we own half of japan every one hates us :P i would ahve been steamrolled if hojo was not guarding my right!

  • The yari's that the ashigaru are using in this trailer look better than the ones they use in game.

  • @Bacardi4206 Agreed,

  • @Bacardi4206 After a while, you don't have to think anymore in total war because AI is really easy to defeat and I like I said, if the game is hard, it's all because of AI cheats. If you really need to think as much, it's surely the only RTS game you played. Last Total war games are really casual and need nothing to play well compared to RTS kings; Cossacks, American conquest, Histwar.

  • @drakenlorde Can u give me some tips and trick..... i can't even go through easy mode

  • @TheMetaldriger Kill yourself with ritual Seppuku for failing at a battle. :D

  • @TheMetaldriger Go post it on Steam, and people will help you!

  • try not to be such a noob thats a tip for ya

  • @megbulb troll much....fucking loser

  • @TheMetaldriger never wait to expand your land early, cause you don't want to struggle against all the Mr.Big out there. Mass train ashigaru until u have about 6,7 provinces, then you can focus on better units.

  • @toiletbomeralpha starcraft got the the game of the year and they are both pretty good and people who playbalot of starcraft play alot of shogun 2

  • wow

  • was disappointed as well, expecially with the fact the the graphics wasnt even all that and the save games got corrupted ( like every other total war, would thnk they'd rectify the obvious problems first) but its still an ok game, i became shogun the exact year time would'v expired with my very first daimyo still alive. good times....

  • @benton202 Your saying the graphics and not good whats wrong with you you expect to much.

  • why not

  • can i keep your game copies? :D

  • I'm disappointed of this game :(

  • @adobo777 Not alone

  • @drakenlorde why?

  • @drakenlorde what do u guys disslike about it

  • @death2160 Some things I dislike: each of the about 40 factions have all the SAME units, units speed is ridiculously fast, collision are ridiculous and unrealistic, units are getting tired for NOTHING, campaing map is ridiculously small (3-4 regions height), morale is stupid (units fleeing for nothing), dificulty is always based on AI cheats, campaing AI always do the same army, diplomatic AI is so agressive for no reason, units can climb walls in real time siege, cavalry troops are really weak

  • @drakenlorde lol well dont blame the game designers blame japan

  • @death2160 In the first shogun, each faction had a unique unit. Why don't they do it again? I guess the game is may be playable with some mods that changes stats, add units and change AI but they can't change the engine. I don't stand the collision, it's terrible. The siege battles are too easy for player because AI don't react much, they just keep moving to you and wait for beeing killed. (Played in very hard) And navals battles are totaly fail.

  • @drakenlorde i guess you're it could have been made alot better but im satisfied

  • @drakenlorde and one more thing ofcourse they can scale walls u didnt know that the japanese used climbing claws?

  • @death2160 Ninja's and elite units, not ashigaru.

  • @drakenlorde

    Agree with you about that however there is one adtvantage. That it requies you to think 

  • @Flamesofthunder Well, I think it can be hard for RTS beginners but if you have experience in real RTS, you'll have no problem to play a such simple game as shogun 2.

    Games I really need to think are Histwar, Cossacks, American Conquest, Pacific storm but not shogun 2.

  • @drakenlorde wow you've named dumb reasons... I'll explain em to you. -The reason every faction has SAME units is because it's JAPAN, in that time there were only units of that type. -Units do not get tired of nothing, maybe it's because you make em RUN all the time, and even then they don't. -The reason campaign map is small is because it's set in JAPAN, GENIUS. -Morale is pretty good, they don't flee for nothing, you need em to make right decision or else they'll flee, and you need a good...

  • @MrAndrewRyan19 Morale is pretty good just when you play in easy, in very hard, they flee for nothing.

  • @drakenlorde (cont) general. -Campaign AI always does the same army that's because there isn't much units to choose. -Cavalry troops aren't weak. There.... and if you think Total War games don't require you to think then you obviously haven't played 'em. Also if it is too easy for you there is a difficulty slider you know?

    Also download the latest update, then we'll see what you think...

  • @adobo777 why?

  • @adobo777

    why?

  • @adobo777 either your stupid or just never played this game because this game is awesome

    If you want to see some pretty cool videos of Total war games got the ( Heir of Carthage ) and go through his list and to the first Shogun 2 video.

  • @Dannyekimyan I've played all the Total War games and the many user created mods for them and this release is the worst so far.

  • @adobo777 I dont think so i really like the game its pretty awesome

    but thats my opinion so did you check out Heir of Carthage guy?

  • @adobo777 - Nah, you're just a Starcraft fag. Nothing wrong with that. Just gay.

  • @ToiletBomberAlpha lol I haven't played starcraft since 2001

  • @adobo777 why?

  • @adobo777 wtf?

  • chokosabe vs  takeda xD

  • I just love to see both armies right before they clash :D

  • Fukushima 50!

  • YES!!! I WANT TO BE SHOGUN!!!

  • @drakenlorde Give em time. They'll release new units I'm sure. Plus it was feudal japan, not like they had that diverse of warriors anyway.

  • @drakenlorde not quitely, its 10 factions now as for unique unit Rome still win for its more unique unit, he feature in Shogun is mroe complex and complicated which I would say more annoying and time spending, I gotta admit the older version total war AI is smarter

  • @drakenlorde yeah right.... lol

  • it was a pitty with this tehnology not to remake the shogun total war...

  • Magnificent!

  • game looks good it just released today brothers enjoy D

  • gracias i love this game now i go take a shit gracias.

  • Oh, so NOW they say to use Sun Tzu's principles in the game. Well I was doing before it was cool!!

  • I was not found of Empire TW cause it lacked that melee shock : infantry / cav charge & those bloody epic battles that you could find in Medieval II. I'm glad Shogun will bring these back.

  • sun tzu is chinese wtf is his quote doing in a japanese based game

  • @danickful Why do they have ancient people quotes in COD?

  • @Csmpbells99 because they can't find any quotes from modern people that aren't better then the past

  • Graphics is EVERITHING!!!

  • I got aaaaawwlll gypsy iron

  • If you think Total war: Fantasy could be a good title, please thumbs up or respond to me.

    You could have orc, elve or human army (or other races). Reenact lord of the rings or create your own reign of destruction or clense the earth of the orc pest. I think that anyone who has seen lord of the rings has been waiting his whole life for this kind of game, sci-fi geek or not.

  • @foxionios lol lord of the rings is good and i like fantasy and all but i think shogun total war looks really good lol

  • @foxionios

    Lord of the rings battle for middle earth 1/2 Exellent RTSes. You can even build your own camp/walls.

  • @foxionios check out a mod for medieval 2 TW called third age lotr has been done and its sweet

  • WOOT, the animation is realistic now!!

  • @kickthecat75 It's a trailer, look at the gameplay videos, animations are good but not as good as the trailer.

  • @drakenlorde you made me sad

  • @drakenlorde Thought this was all gameplay

  • @drakenlorde I like this game though. Different clans DO get different units, but only a few distinct units. And the animation, even to the battle scenes, are quite sufficient and good.

    The trailer can actually pass of as a movie, so you can't blame the game for that.

  • @1234yersiman I know they're small difference betwen clans but they're so little. Even empire total war, which the 50 faction are really similar, have not as clone factions. For the animacians, I blame them about working only on graphics to raised their sale but they don't care anymore of the gameplay, nor of the shogun total war player who was expecting a real sequel.

  • @drakenlorde The gameplay is actually very good. Its a good pace, and the lack of unit variety could be seen as a blessing in order to balance the game to make it more reliant on tactical thinking rather than having a variety of units with different stats, or indeed, in the case of empire/napoleon, similar units with slightly different stats. The campaign map has also been streamlined incredibly.

  • @drakenlorde Uhh... I don't know much about medieval Japan, but just how much diversity do you expect the different clans to have? They are all in the same country, a small island, so I wouldn't think each clan has huge differences between them...

  • @VICITVIR I know all clans are similar but in shogun, each faction had they unique unit(s). But anyway, about the gameplay part, I'm pretty sure it's not harder (becoming always easier since empire) but I don't know if they really improved it so I'm gonna try it before argue on other things.

  • Los caballos siguen siendo iguales al Medieval II Total war XD

  • only thing that dissapointed me about napoleon total war was that there was no blood

    hopefuly with the 16 rating they can make it a little more real looking

  • @zoli730

    for Napoleon you just have to download a blood Mod.

    Does not look thaaaat great( especially when ships are bleeding...)

    but there is blood. :D

  • Guess ill have to overclock my processor...

  • i would love to die on this battlefield

  • I want a total war based on the later part of the 19th and early 20th centuries come on creative dont be this way.... Im pretty sure ww1 could count as total war Give me my Machine guns and tanks, and I would also like to see you deal with what air war would be like. Trenches would be sick in this game in an all out assault. Of course you could always jus stay with your swords and be gay.

  • @LeMightySabre ..........eum..... this is total war?? they always make this kind of game

    and if it was WW1 it wouldn have been a good idea to do it on a large map youll need to make EVERY trench to make it a bit interesting and turn based ISNT a thing for WW1 and later games

  • @LeMightySabre they already have to many games like that, it would just be boring

  • @thatonekidperson123 Name one RTS game that deals with WW1 and the pre era before it thats made by a major company? The only one i can think of is Empire Earth and that was a long time ago...

  • @LeMightySabre play napoleon and empire total wars if you want rifle combat. PS they will never go to a ww1 era because their isn't enough action (trench warfare that never moved more than 200 miles in any direction.)

  • @LeMightySabre

    that could work with WW2 but not in WW1... if you check the movement made by the armies of that time ull see why...

  • @Unnamed11221 Who ever said it had to be 100 % historically accurate? The point of the game is to change history!

  • EIther Creative Assembly is running out of intro ideas or battles scenes are a bitch to direct.Booooo!!!

  • I sure as hell hope that this game will have a serious amount of blood or else i'm not wasting a penny to get this.Why the fuck would they make shogun 2?If they wanted to make one of their old games look better why couldn't they pick rome total war?The graphics and animations are amazing though.

  • @sock1235 Perhaps because Rome Total War was unbalanced and Shogun Total War was their first game and hailed as the best by fans. Yes, blood, blood makes the best games so I hear.

  • @EonRifft yeah,you know what they say!"Here today,gone today too"..hehehehe.

  • DUUUDEEE THIS AN ALMOST COMPLETE COPY OF THE AGE OF EMPIRES 1 INTRO!THEY EVEN HAVE THE RAIN AND THE GENERAL DUDE ON THE HORSE!

  • @arren85 wow a general and rain thats unbelievable isnt it?

  • @XviZoR88 hey see the video i am talking about and then reply.Its simple.

  • @arren85 believe me i played age of empires 1 2 and 3 but only cuz there is some raining and like this its not the same

  • @XviZoR88 Ofcourse they are not exacly the same but the format/scenario is:2 armies, one dressed primarly in blue the other in red.We have the red inside a town, and we see the blue advancing towards it and a shot of the red army general and his stuff.Then the red make an exit, the two armies stand oneabefore the other and then they charge with fast shots betwen the two running armies that clash and the action swifts between one one on engaments.Even the friiging music is almost the same!

  • @arren85

    watch?v=3bQ-WsquMwE

    You mean this video?

    I'll admit there are similarities but come on, how do you not make an animation of two armies that focus on swordfighting not look similar to other videos that features the exact same thing?

    Also, I saw no rain.

  • @XviZoR88 did i hear empire \? I played part 1 demo them part one, then part 2 demo then part 2 then part 3 i didnt much like part 3.

  • White People got own by the Mongols in Russia and the Muslims got own in the Mid East, Asians >>>>>>>>>> White People ;P

  • They should just make Asia Total War or World of Total War (the whole world but seems impossible) or Rome 2 Total War.

  • ....then some white guys blew the shit out of dem...

  • wax on wax off

  • can someone tell me which time period this is in?

    Thanks :)

  • @nuubez 1500s i think the best year of japan and proly a bit later starting to see gun powder

  • @nuubez 15th century if I recall correctly

  • when are they going to make a total wr game about china><

  • @brianluk2006 they did but it didn't sell well because it was all about managing gangs of children working in factories to make cheap plastic toys for the west ....

  • @Shrike12 What a narrow minded and ignorant idiot you are.. China has an extensive history of war. Many Japanese samurai and their leaders studied Chinese books on warfare. I have seen an Fan made game based on the Chinese "warring States" period being produced. It is called "All Under Heaven".

  • @brianluk2006 china isnt as kewl as japan. they b boring.

  • 1:17 Baaaaanzaaaaiiiiiiii!!!!

  • lol a japanese war game having a quote from a chinese dude, does anyone else find that weird?

  • Why Shogun? I would say Ancient China has far more history of war and not to mention the huge scales of battles.

  • @SpeairsLT I agree, and they could include Mongolia, Korea, India, Vietnam, southern the islands, and Japan. to add more Factions.

  • Mir juckts schon in den Fingern. Ich hoffe es kommt pünktlich und unverbugt.

  • @Blechdose88 dont worry itll be out soon :D

  • were the Mongolian rocket launcher at

  • wtf. i cant see the samurai pizza cats

  • only in an american film could the last ever samurai be white

  • @randyroo2

    Actually, the word Samurai is also in the plural form, so the title of the movie was referring to the last free clan of Samurai in Japan. If you do not believe me check it out at IMBD, under the trivia section.

  • @jackattack2121 but if you watch the move, he is literally the only one who didn't die, so he is the last samurai lol

  • @minner11501

    Yeah that is true, but, the movie was not just about him, it was also about the last legit samurai clan in Japan.

  • @jackattack2121 this may be true, though the way the movie was marketed, it seemed as though tom cruise was the "last samurai". maybe a clearer title would be, the last of the samurai.

  • @jackattack2121 LOL true but only Holywood could take a film about the last stand of the samurai fighting for what they believe in and turn it into a film about white guilt.

    I wonder if the last samurai 2 will take place in Nanjing?

  • @jackattack2121 Finally someone else realizes that is what the title was reffering to! Thank god im not alone.

  • @jackattack2121 sauced

  • @Airsofta17

    I know I will probably sound like a "newb", but what does "sauced" mean?

    Urban Dictionary said it was being incredibly drunk, to put pizza sauce on a pizza, or to be said of one has be insulted and defeated.

  • @jackattack2121 like get owned so the last one haha

  • @randyroo2 He wasn't white dude!!! The last Samurai was portrayed by Ken Watanabe a Japanese actor..Watch the film carefull.

  • @randyroo2 Silly Brit, can't comprehend a movie can you?

  • @randyroo2 in this movie the last samurai was that japanese landlord, dude. The white guy didn't count.

  • @totalmentemad Yes but the implication was that it was Tom Cruise that was the last samurai and the media didnt exactly try to dispel that either..

  • @kempaku982 yeah. You're right. Tom Cruise movies = a guy who used to be god at something but then somehow loses confidence until find someone (usualy a girl) who teaches him somenthing new so he gain confidence again and save the world. \o/

  • @randyroo2

    If it helps you feel any better, I am american and I did not like that degree of licence. The Japanese would have never taught a westerner their fighting style or Kata. Even still is that way to some degree.

  • @randyroo2 The movie the last samurai was about the story of the samurai... and the story of the last samurai who died in the battlefield... You completely missed the end. Algren was never a samurai.

  • @randyroo2 what exactly is wrong with a white person being the last samurai?

  • @randyroo2

    Actually the movie and the book are inspired by the story of a french military in the 19th century.

    Of course, he never wore the samurai outfit and I doubt he has ever been called "the last samurai", but he was very impressed by their way of living and their leaders.

  • @randyroo2 maybe thats cause in those times japanese people were only white?

  • @randyroo2 the movie is fairly popular in japan, at leas according to my japanese history professor

  • @randyroo2 onlu a european could be that stupid to make that mistake dumbass

  • @DJsharp707 Actually it is mostly non-english english speakers who make grammatical errors, like sawed instead of sawn. And fishes instead of fish.

  • @randyroo2 freaking americans....

  • @randyroo2 The last samurai was not the 'white' guy in that film. The last Samurai was the leader of the people that took the 'white' guy in. Enough to complain about in the US without making things up. FYVM.

  • @randyroo2 Heh, Japanese have whiter skin than most europeans.

  • E-P-I-C

  • kool

    

  • Too bad my computer sucks :'( i want play this game so badly

  • @guk91 There wont be a beta, this isn't a open beta game.

    Releases is scheduled for March 2011, but there might be a demo at some point :)

  • Fake... jks

  • I really like the ships, so unique to any other historical ships.

  • There will be gunpowder units in the game, but remember this is based in 16th century japan. At best the firearms are Extremely primitive. They were so bad infact they were abandoned for several hundred years until muskets reappeared in japan in the 1800's and sloughtered the samurais into retirement for good.

  • @Babylauncher3000 first of all its slaughtered and i bet you just got that off the last samurai

  • @Babylauncher3000 Sorry dude, but the Japanese COMPLETELY abolished firearms and any-other European weaponry until the 1850's when America pretty much forced itself in.

    The Shogun's (government in our countries)rebels took up firearms and kicked them out of rule, giving back all power to the Emporer. After that the Japanese encouraged foreign influence, until it was able to overpower them with their own armies. :) Yes I'm a historical nerd

  • @minnor93 Thank you I learned something today.

  • @minnor93 watch the last samurai good movie

  • @Beinggreatfull Yer I have, fantastic movie. Probably the most historically accurate movie I've seen on Japan (apart from the America, whom had very little activity with Japan after the 60's). That was based on a rebellion (possibly Satsuma) in the 1870's. It was a attempt to reinstate the Shogun after they where abolished from rule. But, obviously, sword on gunpowder, no match, even for samurai

  • @minnor93 yea i know its not fair it just wasnt :(

  • @Beinggreatfull Its technology, adapt or be destroyed. Fact of life then and now. I feel sorry for them to

  • @minnor93 to much technology wont be good :o

  • @Beinggreatfull I didn't mean that. Technology's great. But you still have to learn it or become overrun. Sad but true

  • @minnor93 yes

  • I remember playing this at a friends house so long ago. He was showing off the computer he had built.

    Obviously, the graphics have improved exponentially. Anyone know about the system requirements for PC? I think it's being released a little after the console versions are on the shelves.

    I admit, I've been pining for this title and was wondering if it would ever be redone.

    I've noticed the people who are the potential customers are more on the mature side.

  • @Nonsenseatbay wtf ure talking about?? theres no console release... and the game isnt even out yet... they said maybe fall 2011

  • @yougonasorry read the comment he said "Obviously, the graphics have improved exponentially. " which shows he obviously means stw 1

  • @Aaron2ownage

    animations too, they've improved alot

  • @Nonsenseatbay why would this game be made for consoles? thats just not right

  • anyone know about the unique unit, dun tell me all will be same =(

  • Still no blood?? ohh Great!!
