[pieguy1247]

[AnonymousPopper]

[Roguesoldier678]

Of course it's American made weaponry that is killing Japanese soldiers.

[chickenbutt532]

tom cruise, ooooooh

[YorkGod1]

Sluaghter and Carnage on Epic Scale equals battle well fought :D

[cryingmushroom47]

Can't wait to charge gatling guns with my samurai units!!!

[YorkGod1]

@cryingmushroom47 mass carnage will follow hahaha

[geraldhin]

staring tom cruise

[Baschybarde]

Lame gatlinggun -.- I´d take a katana anytime!

[jg0isback]

did anyone else laugh when they saw the gatling gun?

[erk754]

I think everyone who is bitching about the strategy of gunpowder armies needs to stfu... The strategy is there just more subtle just fucking deal with it and be happy ur getting a new total war at all... Fuckin first world problems

[azntakeaway]

AMERICA FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!

[TheZaen]

Of course, samurais failed cos they refused to invent gatling katanas

[NallePu83]

Samurai did use guns. They are not stupid!

[Abortionshouldbefree]

"The Last Samurai: The Game"

[IfdontThewhat]

last samurai rofl

[TheKrouton]

Man, I really wasn't interested in the "expansion" until I saw this trailer.

[close2youagain]

Can't wait for this game to release!

GO SAMURAI..

Ohh.. i just remembered the movie entitled "The LAST SAMURAI" starring Tom Cruise.

[illegalehumor]

Just gonna get this game 2 kick some American, Engineering, Ass with just a Sweet Katana.

[Priyo866]

What if units from all TW games fight each other? That would be:

Samurai vs Ritterbruder vs Spartan Hoplites vs Old Guard vs Coldstreams vs Praetorian/Urban Cohort vs Templar Knights vs Cuirassiers vs Life Guard Cavalry vs Conquistadores

LOL! XD

[iamdisplacedlilak]

@Priyo866 Dude! They could call it TW Arena xD I would buy it.

[Priyo866]

@iamdisplacedlilak :D you can always be sure that Spartan is going to win. They can take out whole armies on their own.

Urban Cohort has a high chance too! XD

[7Veritatem]

Japan has samurais nuff said

[pearcema4]

Perhaps it would make more sense if this game was played in China. The country had many more international conflicts with a range of countries and military campaigns within itself.

[tythomaspix]

Where can I play as Tom Cruise?!?!

[Ptossias]

I don't get it. Why aren't they using arrows. They do more damage than that era's "gatling gun" and if it's dry season, they can just light up the field to burn their enemies. Are the developers just stupid or is this another American propaganda video. Americans didn't even teach the Japanese how to use guns, that's totally inaccurate and full of fail like that piece of shit movie "The Last Samurai".

[MrTHEWALRUS12345]

@Ptossias How's Nippon been treating you Ken sama?

[Lightscribe225]

@Ptossias Uh no...it actually happened in history. Americans came over even though Japan had an isolationist policy. They did not teach the Japanese to use guns, merely introduced new models that far outclassed any guns the Japanese could make, made a few demonstrations and made trade deals. The Japanese went back to killing each other as they had before Americans showed up, the difference being American clients had more cost effective armies.

[TheKrouton]

@Ptossias Light up the field? To burn their enemies? Lol! That's called moron-warfare.

[Franssisco787]

one more week till this game is out and all of us will fail for our exams. Thank You creative assembly for creating such a wonderful game

[TheFree33333]

@Franssisco787 And there shall be some CTD bug which is deep within some ridiculous engine which will take them 4 weeks to fix upon release. :D

[Franssisco787]

@TheFree33333 hmm, can't deny what you've said. But let's hope it won't happen alright mate :)

[DonutSkull]

Total War really needs to have an American Civil War title.

[SMGSilveRLeadeR]

@DonutSkull NORTH & SOUTH: TOTAL WAR

[Prinsgezindepatriot]

@DonutSkull Only the civil war? We'll that sounds a little boring, doesnt it? Two or three classes... A span of about 50 years... Only one war... maybe in combination with other events, like the unification of germany, the spanish-american wars, German-French war... But only that single civil war? The Netherlands had a struggle for independence that lasted for 80 years... Even that would be more interesting...

[ThePinkMonster105]

Hi, someone needs to help me!!! my shogun 2 lags but it only happens when i zoom in ans there's about 900 soldiers + at the same place, my specs are:

Total war: End of Gentlemans' War

[Walsh2571]

Just so happens we are doing this in modern history ^.^ total war anyone? WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE CAN'T PLAY VIDEO GAMES IN SCHOOL?

[chickenbutt532]

cheesy Japanese accent

[ZetsubouGintama]

Samurai: FOR HONOR AND GRORY!

American: Fuck You, We have Gatling

[nineballmk2]

@ZetsubouGintama funny thing the man who invented the gatling was a pacifist and hoped that this gun would end all wars.......HA!

[Myoldnamesdontwork]

i hope they take out that land divide thing! that was annoying. it would be like oh my god they bought the gatling gun from the americans lets all ally and attack him!

this game sounds like civilization + shogun total war + empire total war...nothing new right? i am still waiting for them to improve the agent system (such as double agent actions you know having a combination of two agents for a task?)

i also wished that they improve the battle system too...

[Pein61]

@ZetsubouGintama Guns for pussies

[Freeze7971]

@ZetsubouGintama Doesn't matter , samurais are still more badass.

[dogggfight9999999999]

should i preorder this or buy shogun 2 because i only got 30 $ pocket money

[superstrok99]

@dogggfight9999999999

If you're a history buff then this is better because this period in japanese history is awesome.

[OusanYmon]

@dogggfight9999999999 It depends on what you want. FotS and Shogun 2 are massively different in their settings, units, tactics, and overall feel. Shogun 2 takes place in the Sengoku period of Japan, while FotS is set 300 years later.

[PVumbe]

Guys.

Should I get Shogun 2? Or, wait until Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai comes out?

[killerman97493]

@PVumbe fall of the samurai everyone will be on it

[TheElitesoldier1337]

@PVumbe  Buy Fall of the samurai

[NKismynextgoal]

@PVumbe

Wait until the gold edition containing both comes out :-)-)

[WoWhelperful]

[TheThraex26]

Just pre-ordered. I was sold when I saw the 3rd person Gatling control feature. TW is getting better and better.

[Justinian43]

Add Hans Zimmer "Last Samurai" soundtrack and you got a gold trailer!

[Avatar9123]

@UpTheIronOzzy Ikr!!!!

[movieguru18301]

Am I the only one wanting a China civil war version? They could absolutely make one with all the clans fighting to unite china

[Justinian43]

@movieguru18301 Not only that, make expansion packs for the imperial dynasties! Japan is beautiful and historical but truh is, it's a tiny island, I want to control the asian mainland with a map from the middle east to the pacific ocean! hahaha

[movieguru18301]

@Justinian43 Exactly, Chinas history is deep in conflict and war. The game would be such a hit and could provide the grounds for armies of extreme sizes

[Justinian43]

@movieguru18301 Exactly! And SEGA could get away from the gunpowder total wars and go back to classic warfare total wars while exposing the history, culture and military systems of imperial china. And they could add the mongol hordes there as well! haha (truth is, the "gunpowderification" of total war sort of killed the strategy, i pray they don't come out with "world war 1 total war" lol)

[NKismynextgoal]

@Justinian43

You are saying they killed the tactics. Strategy is the big plan, tactics are the specific movements on the battlefield. But I don't see why the use of guns should lack tactics...I would love to see a Renaissance Total War that covers the era between Medieval and Europe/Napoleon. Or a TW Great War...It makes tactics more special and not just spears in the center, cavalry on the flanks and archers harrassing and pulling back.

[Justinian43]

Oh really? so old warfare isn't as tactical as gunpowder warfare? Yeah look how it changed war, it made armies be more sissy wth advent of cannons and missiles and bombs. Today's warfare allows you to bomb cities and fortified areas. WOW VERY TACTICAL!!! The work that would be accomplished by a thousand under the head of a capable leader can be achieved with a bomb or missile. Very "tactical"

[Charonic]

@Justinian43 The old-world equivalent of using a bomb would be having thousands of soldiers charge an enemy in brute force... even less tactical than using a bomb, and even more extreme.

But there are many things that can't be done using a bomb or a missile. Today's infantry is expected to take much more personal initiative and carry with them a much larger variety of tools to the battlefield. I'd consider that to be more tactical than simply having one commander who designates all the tactics.

[Justinian43]

um no? a bomb you can't stop, a massive horde you can outsmart and outmaneuver. There are plenty of battles in which massive forces have clashed against very small forces and suffered embarrassing defeats or Pyrrhic victories. So according to you yesterday's soldiers were mindless bots under one commander, a spartan or a samurai could slice any modern marine to bits.

[Lightscribe225]

@Justinian43 It helped when the smaller force was better equipped.

Bombs are not tactical, they are lest resort when tactics fail. Tactics are sending in small squads to do the job of an army. Disrupt enemy lines, take out key personnel from a distance to reduce casualties on your side, thus preventing the expense of replacing them. The main goal for modern warfare is simply to cause as much expense to the enemy at minimal cost to you. It's why armies clashing no longer work.

[ultimemusicfreak]

@Justinian43

I would actually say if you think about all the war planning today's warfare is much more tactical and more precise with communication. There's just so much more to it. But I think you'll find that a general's role and the on the battlefield tactics were much more important before the advent of truly modern warfare. It just does not work the same way anymore. Either way, war is abhorrent but I despise modern warfare more. I enjoy studying and playing anything from older stuff.

[Lightscribe225]

@Justinian43 And don't call soldiers today sissy because they use guns. Don't go on about how it lacks honor or some such garbage. Because honor was a notion invented by warlords so that their underlings who threw their lives away would feel like their death mattered.

[NKismynextgoal]

@Justinian43

No, you are saying something different! I said that tactics changed but they were still there. I wasn't talking about nowadays precision warfare. Muskets took a long time to reload, long pikes needed to give them protection (tactic). Riflemen had to line up to fire a volley with effect. Canons were ideal for wiping squares who were ideal for fighting cavalry.

That takes much more tactical genius than having a bunch of spearman trying to outlfank the opposing spearman. Not?

[6rasta6bhoy6]

1:00 skip to AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!!1

[Siluriuskaeso]

But Prussians and the French trained the Japanese Armies, not the fucking Americans.

It's like Rome: Total War all over again, they try to make leeways with history but once historically accurate mods (like EB) come out, the mods end up being more fun than the vanilla.

[TheSevenCamels]

@Siluriuskaeso Except in this game, modding is nearly impossible. However, you are correct. Instead of making these almost fantasy-level expansion packs, why not work on your previous two games, where the modders are begging for commodity-level support?

[Lightscribe225]

@Siluriuskaeso They aren't making the Americans be the ones who train them. Americans traded with them.

[PPTGameDevelopers]

I'm throwing money at the screen but nothing's happening!!!!!

[FireWaterLords]

@UpTheIronOzzy we need Empire and Napoleon 2!

[Justinian43]

@FireWaterLords nooooo nooo nooo Rome 2 and another expansion for Medieval2 , Empire was so boring my firned and napoleon... ehhh...

[jessee501]

how about you stop messing with guns napoleon,empire :p line your dudes up and watch them fail at shooting each other  shogun 2 and raise of the samurai where awesome this no not at all

[jbiz979]

How about fixing the 2 minute load time

[MrCliffordBrooks]

Just wondering if anyone would advise getting the expansion or getting Shogun 2?

[keiluko]

@MrCliffordBrooks I advise you to get it, its not just a copy pasted game but a whole game itself with a lot of changes, and for 30 bucks MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN THATS A STEAL

[MrCliffordBrooks]

@keiluko alright yeah I was think that too, 30 bucks does sound good to me

[winkieater69]

i think it be coolio if they made a modern day total war, of course instead of 80 guys in a unit it be like 10, but still i think they could make it work

[Justinian43]

@winkieater69 No that would ruin the whole deal. Modern Total war would be fucking boring, the charm of the first total wars was tactic, swordfighting, using cav, archers, etc. Modern war is sooo boring and stupid, guns guns guns and missiles, fuck that shit! I'd rather use my brain in the battlefield. No offence...

[winkieater69]

@Justinian43 ummm.... alright?

[SMGSilveRLeadeR]

@Justinian43 so your saying Napoleon had no brains?

[Justinian43]

@SMGSilveRLeadeR I'm saying modern warfare is boring. In napoleon's age, armies and ground battles were still the main strategy, modern warfare relies on who has the biggest missiles....

[Spencerpolly]

Civil war Total war?

[xredrumx5150]

this reminds me of a movie whats the name of it? like f0Gst3R said about Tom Cruise im pretty sure he was in it

[SplendidFactor]

@xredrumx5150 The Last Samurai

[jobbynaitor]

will it be an expansion pack or dlc? will you need the original game or not? just want to know, please don't hate

[fantom6150]

@jobbynaitor

1.its not even expansion, its separate game.

2.no

[Torashin1]

A certain film springs to mind...

[errorlucifer]

ROME 2



[ConnorBox]

@drewb714 then play shogun 2 instead of this...

[LordJamesMillington]

@drewb714 the sheer... ignorance in what you just said astounds me. it really does.

[fantom6150]

@drewb714 lol what u are talking about? play then rise of the samurai.

[Despamifier]

I do not know about you guys, but I'm ready.

[Spencerpolly]

You see everyone, this is why America is so awesome.

[hicksy36]

@Spencerpolly America ? the most selfish country in the world

pfft

[ThePlaceCannel]

@hicksy36 it was Great at one point. And i hope your not one that believes Puerto Rico should have its independance..

[winkieater69]

@hicksy36 selfish! im pretty sure you mean SHELL FISH.... but no where nice people

[alipdf]

@Spencerpolly

Yeah america is so awesome! Shitty healthcare,high crime rate, big percentage being ignorant christian evanglists LOL,racism,goverment corruption,high unemployment rate.

Yeah....america is awesome.....right D:

[patch3024]

Gatling gun looks so OP there :)

[BraveSpartan7]

I have but one thing to say.... America Fuck Yeah!!

[Kommandant101]

@BraveSpartan7 shame the guns you gave em to kill their own people were upgraded to attack pearl harbour and kill thousands of US live, wars suck

[max6413]

I would LOVE to see a Total War game focused solely on the conquests of Ghengis Khan and his Golden Horde :o

[Justinian43]

@max6413 haha i know right, but the mongol faction is pretty much genghis khan lol

[theunknowncorps22]

what the hell my friend said this was released early and there were lets plays but he probably got it mixed up with rise of the samurai LIAR

[Mrasianpopmusic]

Warring States: Total war - where Sun Tzu became the legend!

[SunTzuNumber85]

I am really really hoping that just one day soon in my lifetime, Total war will come up with a game set in the Zhanguo period (Warring States period) of China. Most of the games related go only to the Shanguo or 1550s wich I'm tired of.

[Geistmeister6]

that link for info on the dlc is for rise of the samurai, not fall, FAIL IGN

[LordDonib]

screw nathan algren or tom cruise, i wanna see katsumoto

[d9637568]

CPT. Nathan Algren is BACK!

[f0GSt3R]

Where the hell is Tom Cruise?

[maracaibostar]

@f0GSt3R Tom Cruise sold separately at 0,99 €

[Maximillios]

@f0GSt3R DLC

[killerman97493]

[muazmustapha1]

[Jarhead8741]

@muazmustapha1 they asked for it 

[travro25]

America, F*** yeah.

Rome 2 Total War. F*** yeah

[bmenios]

And that's how the first trenches appeared. It wasn't so cool to run to your death without protection after all.

[MrRinoHunter]

Yea learned my less from Empire Total War, wait 2 months after the relase so they can fix all crash bugs before you buy.

[TheGALLGALL]

Thank the American engeuity

[Cleitonrj93]

ROME 2 and EMPIRE 2... please, CA.

[UpTheIronOzzy]

Alright. We got Shogun 2 and Medieval 2... Now we demand ROME 2!!!!!!!

[hicksy36]

@UpTheIronOzzy Rome 2 was barbarian invasion

I think ....

[UpTheIronOzzy]

@hicksy36 No. That was an Expansion pack.

[Justinian43]

@hicksy36 no rome expansion was alexander, barbarian was a whole new game.

[LordPayne]

@UpTheIronOzzy "Rome: In Space"

[Siluriuskaeso]

@UpTheIronOzzy nah, you just need Europa Barbarorum. Activision will just fuck up rome again

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

...

[DIJITALSON]

... just simply fucking horrid...

[URladykiller]

Ninjas FTW

[aCroatianSensation]

Tom Cruise - The Last Samurai DLC 

[OpTiicN1GA]

ye hi guys havnt got much pc knowledge but will this processor run this smoothly? "Intel Sandybridge i5-2500 Core i5 Quad-Core Processor (3.30GHz, 6MB Cache, Socket 1155)"

[Jamjor]

@OpTiicN1GA thats what i use for it. runs great.

[GFWBCK]

@OpTiicN1GA Should be okay. Try upgrade to an i7 or 6

[GFWBCK]

@GFWBCK Also. Make sure you got like 4gb ram or 8 prefs.

[spezow1234]

AWWWWWW SHEEEIIITTTTTT

[AmazemanFan1]

One Word Epic

[123swierstra]

guns are 4 pussy's

[jtrultimate]

@123swierstra Ikr, I wish they didn't get this far in the world and expand to more powerful weaponss -________-. But It doesn't mean the user behind a gun is unbeatable I guess.

[JediMik]

Damn guns! I will play only with swordmasters ))

[jtrultimate]

@JediMik True Warrior right there.

[Kersey475]

I wonder if America will be a faction in this game?

[aa3gunner]

I don't understand whatever happened to the Samurai's ranged gunpowder weapons like muskets and cannons?? Btw, In the late 1600's a Chinese army officer invented a gun that fired 28 bullets continuously before reloading. The man was Dai Zi. However, he was framed by a court official and banished. His invention never equipped the Chinese army. Technically, the Chinese invented the Machine Gun first. believe it or not.

[daribud]

so your telling me america created imperial japan

[Adamhistorybuff]

@daribud Yes actually...... America brought Japan into the imperial age..... 1 by setting in motion the Meiji restoration and 2. Commodore Matthew C. Perry's forray into japanese waters in 1852-54 which forced them into the modern age

[theNICAguy]

i loved the contrast.

[iliathebest]

The abandonment of the samurai tradition allowed the Japanese to become an imperial nation that could compete with the Europeans which had a hold on the world during that time. The very quick modernization of Japan during the Meiji period allowed it to avoid the faith of most other Asian nations.

[emperorx5]

So should I buy Shogun 2 or Fall of the Samurai?

[Bogdanel123456789]

@emperorx5 you need shogun 2 in order to play Fall of the Samurai....

[tommyncfc]

@Bogdanel123456789 No you don't.

[Bogdanel123456789]

@tommyncfc how come? isn't this an expansion pack for shogun 2 total war....?

[tommyncfc]

@Bogdanel123456789 It's a standalone expansion.

[Bogdanel123456789]

@tommyncfc nice :)

@Bogdanel123456789 Just looked it on steam, you don't need Shogun 2
