The Spiffing Brit is clearly enjoying himself...  ;D 




That was great, made even better by listening to it at 1.5x speed  ;D

That was infuriating and hilarious at the same time. Where has The Spiffing Brit been all my life? He has tons of similar videos one dozens if not hundreds of games. If his exploits are legit and not the result of him going into the code and modding these games, how can studios continue to release things like this?

As a one time tester of some commercial software we only ever tested what would make sense

It was software for a breakdown recovery company where the caller asks for car reg, make and model etc - we never tested what would happen if someone typed flat tyre into the make and model box

I imagine this is the same - who would ask for territory in every single diplomatic exchange

No chance. I'm colossally inept at PC games.

Patch 2.0.2 is now out.  Highlights are changes & improvements to the UI, AI, and modding capabilities.

The 2.0.4 patch has officially dropped.  Noteworthy in that this is the last of the planned major patches for Rome: Remastered.

They've done an absolutely stunning job remastering this title. 
Now if they could do that to MTW2 and ETW I would be happy.

Don't be afraid, don't be dismayed

Incidentally, I see that patch 2.0.5 dropped a couple weeks ago.  Mostly just fixes & tweaks, but at least they're still addressing issues.

Going by other comments I've seen online, you're far from alone in wanting Medieval 2 to be remastered.  I won't be surprised if that (eventually) happens. 


Empire, however, is a flat-out bad game; I don't see it ever getting a remaster.  What we need is an Empire 2 -- only done *right*, this time...

Thanks, Gus.  Can't say I disagree with him on his points regarding an Empire 2.  I would still especially like to see Medieval 3 as the next historical title, but a proper Empire sequel (even if it's titled something else) would make me very happy as well. 


Interesting points about Medieval 2.  While I admittedly don't find them quite as compelling, I suspect he's still not wrong.
