Making History: The Great War reviews and comments

Translated by

The German Translation is probably the biggest Shit, so if you ever see "dervish State" thanks the Hit (that is, me), because it was previously called Dervish State ...-_-ZUSTAND there, "state" times in the Google Translator is the first Translation, "State"! They probably really used the Google Translator and think we'll take the first Translation directly! People if you can't translate then get someone who can do it to the Distress of your Community!! 1!!!! 11111!! 111 Total but still 1 nices Game! (Especially in Multiplayer) And finally, another Sentence present in the Game: "After technical Challenges of the Years, the Americans have completed the Channel through the Isthmus of the Panama River. Economic and Fleet Ships can use this Route around the passage to Traps between the Atlantic and Pacific Seas. "

I don't generally do reviews, except when the is exceptional. Which is the case with MH: TGW. Now exceptional does go in two ways: Bad and good. I hate the graphics on this game, although they have already improved a lot in the past. Usually the "bad things"-list would continue, but there isn't much else to say about downsides. On the other side: Cool gameplay, fast to learn, and yet very complex: Here you could play the same faction like 50 times without getting bored. Btw: It is complex, yes, but it has got understandable logics and very good realism (if you close your eyes on the fact I had tanks, as Germany, in February 1913 :D) Is it worth its full price? Uhmmmmmmm. If you're an RTS-fan and you like Total War, yes. If you're an RTS-fan and you like Paradox, wait for a sale. If you despise RTS: This is the game which will turn your hate into love, so you're going to start buying Total War anyway, so what the hell. Go for it :D

This game has put me in a 1.world war hype. It is a mixture of hoi3 and victoria 2nd in this state as the game jetz is I can not recommend it. The game is very complex and the tutorial (which is only available in English) tells you only the rough floor plans of the game. Furthermore, in the German version there is the bug die ü, ö, ä do not appear, but strangely looking letters with a hook over it. You must also be aware that it is turn-based. So it's not complete like hoi. And then at the moment you still have a funny angle on the map which is only aids. But we should allegedly be able to change, but I am not aware of how. You can also throw away the graphic. I expected jetz no witcher 3 graphics but there are scattered graphic bugs zb white point in because units on the map. Now for price currently not recommended in sale for 5euro with certainty. I think, however, you should wait before you get the game. It now makes me sit hyped on the 1world war:(.
