Medieval: Total War

[MrConeman]

Should I download this game?

k. So I loved Rome: Total War, and recently I've been in the mood for a new RTS game, I've also been doing some reading on the Medieval period, so naturally this game seems like the right choice. But I know it came out before Rome, so I may be left feeling disappointed because Rome was more than likely an improvement upon this game. To clarify, theres no way my PC would handle Medieval 2, hence wanting the first one.

Graphics don't bother me much, but I can see that it doesn't look as sharp as Rome, still this doesn't bother me.

All in all, is it a good game/worth the download/not too disappointing when competing against Rome?

Also, is it possible to download the expansion packs?...for a downloaded copy of the game? (Yes, I'm cheap)

If you're just downloading it, I don't see why you wouldn't.

Haven't played any of these games so I wouldn't know.

Hey why don't you create a poll asking us what clothes you should wear, are you that retarded you need assistance deciding whether or not to download a game for FREE? Pathetic, go ask mommy maybe she'll give you some good suggestions while cleaning your diaper.

Also, if graphics don't bother you, why bring it up and state twice in the space of one long run-on sentence that "it doesn't bother you."

Get the newest one. It's a million times better.

Um, to ask if its a good game, moron.
I get it, there isn't exactly a large downside to downloading a game for free, I'm simply asking should I bother with it, and how does it compare to Rome.
Over-react much?
Jesus.
And the graphics comment was so that I could avoid people telling me that the graphics aren't as good as Rome's, I already know, and I wasn't bothered. I'm asking about the gameplay, and the game in general.

Vinterriket: I would, but my pc wouldn't handle those graphics. It only just ran Rome smoothly.

[Vinterriket]

I don't know if this helps but Medieval 2 ran much better than Rome on my computer. It's optimized great.

What are your specs?

those?
ps I really know nothing about running video games, I just seen screen shots and assumed that my pc wouldn't handle it.

Here's the minimum specs:

Minimum System Requirements: English version of Microsoft® Windows® 2000/XP.
Celeron 1.8GHz Pentium 4® (1500MHz) or equivalent AMD® processor.
512MB RAM.
8x Speed DVD-ROM drive (1200KB/sec sustained transfer rate) and latest drivers.
11.0 Gigs of uncompressed free hard disk space.
100% DirectX® 9.0c compatible 16-bit sound card and latest drivers.

Assuming your graphics card matches that or is better it should work.

Thanks man.
I've just realised I have very little free disk space though. Time to get rid of alot of shi' I think.

[Vinterriket]

No problem :)
