Should I Buy This Or Rome 2?

[Dangerouscentaur]

What are some pros and cons to each?

[Chi Chi]

I would lean towards Rome Remastered.

- price
This is pretty huge. For $10 you get the base game, Barbarian invasion (essentially a whole new game in scale), and the Alexander Campaign. You get everything. To get all the content for Rome 2 you'd need to pay like $60 and that is the sale price!

- Great Performance
Rome: Remastered is 64 bit and can handle some huge battles. I've had 18,000 men fighting without issue

- Great campaign
Remastered has one of the best campaigns of the TW series if you play as Rome. With the 3 roman factions allied and pushing out against the barbarians before finally turning inwards for the Civil War. It gives the game a genuine 3 act structure so the campaign doesn't peter out into map painting.


- cool battle system that is driven by animations and actual soldiers not stat-lines
This makes the fighting look far more dramatic and you'll have great moments like a cavalry charge rolling over light infantry or formations losing the battle being slowly pushed back.


- far more player choice (armies can move without generals, you can decide what buildings to build in what city)

- A go over from Feral improving the AI, balancing the game, and providing quality of life updates to bring the game to the modern era.

- light rpg elements (generals gain traits based off their experiences and preferences as opposed to the player directly picking upgrades)

- Mod Support
Rome: Remastered has a ton of really fantastic mods and the remaster opened up the game to a level not seen before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcLA3fHCRhM&t=8s just tons of really great stuff for it.


Overall Rome: Remastered offers a ton of content at a low price and does a really good job at nailing Total War.

As a Chinese player who has played for 800 hours, I can responsibly tell you that you should play the remastered version of Roman Total War instead of Roman 2. The remastered version of Rome is particularly good, and factional restrictions have also been lifted. Various MODs are waiting for you, not to mention that there will be more and more MODs in the future. What do you want Rome 2 for?

Am I hearing you say only Chinese people can speak responsible? Probably not, but you do sound pompous. Your OPINION is not more valid than anyone else, and the Gui Lo are not stinky barbarians anymore :P

In terms of my personal experience, my experience playing Rome 2 was not good. I am actually not someone who likes works after Shogun 2. Why do I say my experience playing Rome 2 is not good. This is because the degree of freedom is low, and most of the time, you are playing the original version and DLC. You don't have a large number of highly playable MODs like Total War in Rome. The mods I play the most in Rome 2 are player enhanced mods. In fact, since the Empire's Total War or when, the big map cannot be changed. As for the Lord of the Rings and 1212 of the Attila Total War, they were later events.

Your operations are complicated, including factions, marriage, civil war, food, policies, and technology trees. Everything needs to be done by oneself and is very complicated. Can the military only maintain ten or twelve legions. The army needs to bring its generals when going on an expedition, of course, this is nonsense. How can we go on an expedition without a commander? But the problem is that I don't like these, they are more tedious and frequent operations. And not to mention that most of the time I am either playing DLC or playing the original version. I tend to prefer games with high levels of freedom and openness. For example, I don't need to play the original version frequently. When I get tired of it, I go to the creative workshop to subscribe and see if they have any outstanding mods. For example, games like the remastered version of Total War in Rome, I think they are more suitable for me. So I don't like works after Shogun 2. What do I often play? The remastered version of the Total War of Rome. Although I have an empire, Napoleon, and Shogun 2. But I spend more time playing the remastered version of Total War of Rome, which is why I strongly recommend it.

I usually play original games to experience the plot, enjoy setting the world view, and experience the plot. But what should I do after I pass the battle mode? Shoot for two weeks? Three weeks? But what can I do after I finish these weekly tasks? Experience the open world, complete all achievements, or search for hidden bosses or stronger weapons and equipment? For example, God of War, Assassin's Creed Odyssey. But when I finish playing these games, my choice is either to buy new games or to play them again when I'm bored, right?

Think about it, Rome 2 has better picture quality and better gameplay. That's right, Total War in Rome is an old game, Rome was in 2013. But now it's not anymore. From a cost-effectiveness perspective, the remastered version of the Roman Total War only costs fifty yuan, and it also eliminates factional restrictions and various MODs. You don't even need to buy DLC. Isn't this good?

If the remake of the Total War of Rome did not eliminate factional restrictions and other settings, it would not have made structural changes, but rather remained authentic. There are still only twenty factions, what is the difference from the original version of the Roman Total War we played before? It's because he changed, because he underwent structural changes, that's why I recommend a remake of the Total War of Rome. Friend, personally, I really can't accept works from Shogun 2 onwards. That's why I recommend the remastered version of the Total War of Rome.

Of course, I'm not saying that you won't buy new games because people can't always play one game, but for me, playing the original version frequently is unacceptable. Because after I pass the level, I can only buy new games and I never play in battle mode. So from this perspective, isn't it obvious which is more cost-effective, the remake of the Roman Total War or the Roman 2 Total War?

Friend, it depends on personal needs and hobbies, and what you want. Our Chinese Mainland Rome full-scale war reprinting price is 50 yuan. I don't know Rome 2, the key is what you want to play. If you want to try a remake of the Roman Total War. You can buy it to play and try it out first. My suggestion is that you should give it a try. Then look at your feelings and personal preferences to see if you need it, and if not, return it. Then you go buy Rome 2. You can also consider buying everything. Everything depends on the individual. This is my opinion. Use your own feelings and gaming experience to see which one you like, or buy them all.

Although what I said may make you angry, I actually translated it using a domestic translation website. I don't actually understand English myself. I usually copy and paste English and then use domestic translation websites to roughly take a look. Then I am typing, copying, and pasting on a translation website.
