falloutttt: I love Japan and the east in general, but I as well din't like Shogun all that much.
Three Kingdoms on the other hand is a beautiful game and I love it, but it has Denuvo. :( So I had to pirate it. Hopefully it will be on GOG one day, so I can buy and support such beautiful game.
The old total war games are the best for sure. No comparison. Even the music was at the highest level. I don't really understand why those games are not on GOG still.
Radiance1979: sometimes you are better of with the pirated version of the games, skidrow for example made some changes to warhammer for example that, in my opinion work better then the game released by CA/SEGA.
i'm not sure if this is because they handle memory constraints better then it was with the original programming or maybe they changed a couple of things on the a.i. plane but all in all i did like their version better
ofc buying the original is the least you can do when using pirate copies
Sometimes, just simply blocking the DRM makes the game runs better. But yeah, in my experience with pirated games is similar, more often then not, they run better then the original.
Want to add new and upcoming games to the list:
-Port Royale 4
-Knights of Honor II – Sovereign
-Cloudpunk (already released and looking good)
-Plebby Quest: The Crusades (already released, very silly but interesting nonetheless)
-SAELIG (Early access game, similar to The Guild 3)
