The Know really did a swell job pointing out all of his "predictions" that were hats off retarded wrong.

You know for as quiet as Venom Snake is, there is something oddly cool about him just suddenly going bad ass mode and schooling Eli in CQC. It's like it fits his quiet nature.

For advice outside of those mods, I would say experiment. Really there is no faction to "avoid", really. You should experiment with the ones you like first obviously, and then work from there. Also know your playstyle.
Are you a fast hitting kinda player who loves cavalry? Then you'd want factions going for that.
Are you more a slow paced fighter who likes to flank the enemy? Then you'd want Makedon or Sparta with their Phalanx and Hoplites.
Or are you more ground offensive and want to push? Then maybe Rome is for you with their famed short swords and shields.
Some factions are weaker than others in some areas, but really it's all pretty damn well balanced. For tips IN game, especially campaign, I'd say pay attention to your cities. See what needs to be built.
If there is negative effects for a city and it says "-12 Religious Differences" then maybe you should erect a building that converts people to your religion over a series of turns. Also issuing an edict to an entire controlled province would help that too.
For diplomacy, when talking to another faction, look to see who their enemies and allies are. If you wanna be friends with some faction, and their enemy happens to be a friend you're helping out, then they will slowly start to hate you. Be mindful of alliances.
As for in battle? Well I say practice. Know what units do what. Never rush cavalry into spears, and always remember spears are for defense, and swords for more hard hitting offense. Practice and look up some YouTubers like Warrior of Sparta online and see how he plays. You'll learn a lot from seeing people rather than just reading.
That's about all the advice I can give you. Let me know if you have any questions.

So Rome 2 was a mess at release, there is no doubt about that. But many patches later and mods actually saved the game. More so mods. Spoiler EssentialMedieval 2 combat modThis mod, in short, makes the combat not shit. Units will actually STAY in formation, NO MORE RUBBER BANDING, and many other things. This actually makes the combat GOOD. Rome 1 style PikemenThis mod makes the pikemen play out like in Rome 1. Basically, it does what Pikemen really did IRL, and that is keep the enemies at bay while others flank to kill them. In vanilla game, 1 of 2 things happen. 1. The enemy dies almost immediately or very quickly, which is stupid 2. The enemies will magically be able to get through a bunch of sharp sticks to the men holding them, and then they engage in melee combat. This is also insanely stupid because how you're able to get through them right away is beyond me. Pikemen start battles with pikesIn vanilla, they don't have the pikes until they attack the enemy. Then they just MAGICALLY APPEAL and yeah. It's stupid, this is much better and you can easily identify who is who. Better blood mod, but ONLY DOWNLOAD IF YOU HAVE THE BLOOD DLC. If not, ignore this.Better unit cards.It should be no secret that the unit cards in Rome 2 are horrible. They try to go for some artistic look, but only serve to confuse a FUCK LOAD of players. This mod gives the units actual looks rather than some Egyptian stupid jar painting look. There are other Unit card mods out there, but this one covers them all as far as I can tell, and the art style to it is nice. Better musicTo keep it painfully short, I will say this. The music in Rome 2 (and Attila too, but it's slightly better) is horrible. The composure is an absolute joke and the music fails to make you excited, or fit the setting at all. You may THINK this is a little thing, but it's not. It makes a massive difference, and this mod helps. You have to download the music from the Dropbox as well, and then just drop the folder (don't unzip it, just the entire folder) in your Total War Rome 2 Data folder. It's very simple. Improved Diplomat AISimply put, the AI diplomacy sucks. You could get Rome at its height, ready to take a small faction with one city left, and they'd still say no peace. With this mod, the AI is actually smarter, knows when to give up, and looks for opportunities as well. Read the description for more detail. Optional (but I still recommend)Better campaign waterCampaign water vanilla looks too blue and ugly to me. This darkens it. Better looking TriariiThe helmets don't look like shit. Improved event picturesMakes the event pics in campaign much more fitting. New Roman GeneralsReskins the generals so they look more diverse and bad ass. Roman CrossbowmenThis was a thing. Why they didn't put them in the game is beyond me. Better campaign/battle mapLets you zoom further/closer to what you want to look at. I'd get it. And that's it really. If you read the details in each link they'll tell you more, but I have these mods and it makes the game a HELL of a lot better.

Just got done installing Rome 2 so I'll be starting my playthrough tomorrow. Any tips or advice from those who already played it? What factions to pick or avoid, what campaign to play (I have all the DLC) and so on? I haven't seriously played a Total War game since the first Rome, so I'm pretty out of touch with the series.
Yes. My tips would be the mods I'm about to give you that don't make the combat the complete broken shit it is. I'll link you the essentials, then link you stuff I think makes it better. One second. Trust me on this. Otherwise you'll have people rubber banding (meaning they'll jump around, even going so far as shooting away 10 feet from the combat) and the game being shit.

I forgot how hard Vault 11 was, especially with realistic weapon damage mod enabled.

My dad just taught me a slight glimpse of his moves he teaches to his students (he works at Blackwater, now called Academii), and jesus christ the man is scary. He didn't call it CQC/B, I forget the name, but his teacher is now is Israel training their special forces and shit.
Anyway, it's amazing such basic things can disable people, and in a stunning fashion too. I got my face slapped (lightly) as it was happening cuz his example was someone choking you against the wall. No one expects a bitch slap.
ANYWHO, I'm gonna shower now and reflect on it. He offered to actually teach me sometime soon, so I think I'll take him up on it. My brother was in Afghanistan as a private contractor (mechanic stuff), and he and another worker had arguments over cigarettes (or rather the other guy was aggressive and threw a pack at his face after he accused him of stealing them, which he didn't). He came at him with a punch and my brother stepped to the side, locked his arm, and snapped his wrist back and broke it and took him to the ground.
They took him aside and said "you have special tactics experience", and my dad couldn't stop smiling like an idiot because he was so proud.
Anyway, basically my dad is like Big Boss minus nukes and kept you waiting huh's?
I thought I'd share that story with you all.

So I just got to Chapter 2, and so far...I'm not impressed. I'm not a big fan of grinders, but apparently I have to either grind out Side Ops or replay mission stories on harder difficulties just to advance?
Is this a Kojima thing, or a Konami thing?
Open world games in general have a grind fest to em. It always involves getting some materials, capturing shit, running all the way across for something, etc. Pacing of the story for MGS V is my main concern. Or rather... a lack of story.

daily reminder that OoT is considered one of the GOATs and runs at 20fps
and the 3DS version is 30
which is better
it isn't, though
it's just a number
Except 30fps is better.
Yeah, you might not care for 60fps and think it's superfluous, but there's a point where it does matter. Below 30fps is where it begins to matter.
Or if it's 60fps and it dips down to the 40's and 30's constantly.

I was born with an extra digit on each hand and foot, with bone in it. Apparently I could control it, so I could count to 24.
Got them sliced off before I was even 1, though. Still have the faded scars show it though.
Honestly thats fucking cool.
I know, I'm a cool person. I've heard this my entire life.

Anyway OT
1. Stopping the burning of the Library of Alexandria
2. Because it's argued we're many years behind for how much knowledge was lost with that. Imagine how much more advanced we'd be if such things didn't fade with the Dark Ages.
3. We'd be more advanced in a few things, medical science for sure.

3.) I think America would be a better place in general. I also think we would be on Mars by now.
You do realize the only reason we went to the moon was to beat the Soviets, right? We wouldn't have gone further, and honestly if Kennedy survived, things like Jim Crow laws would have taken far longer to get going.

After Kingdom Hearts 2, I gave up following the story seeing as they made like 40 hand held games I couldn't care less about.
Eh. I could write a synopsis if you'd like.
Sure

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
The only English dub I can tolerate.
Also Fate/Zero was damn fine on the eyes.
But Fate/Zero also had an amazing dub

Fate/Zero
or
Gurren Lagann
Odds are my opinion will change if you ask me again.

Sword Art Online (don't judge me)
I'm judging you so fucking hard. They ruined Asuna's character in less than the span of 20 mins in the first season. Hint: It was when she finally became the romance

Well you are Prehistoric, right?
I do not currently have a high school photo of me dressed as Snake.
I still find that cringe worthy as hell.

'horse armor'-gate do i wanna know
Back when Oblivion was still a thing, Bethesda released a shit DLC called "horse armor" that was $2.50. Just armor for your horse, and your horse was useless in that game because you went just as fast, if not faster than the horse. It's not become associated with useless and overpriced DLC.

I think people letting it decide if it's a buy or no buy is silly (I have a friend who freaked over Dark Souls 3 being 30 frames and not 60), but I think it is just a nice thing added on.
It's like having your cake and eating it too. Plus it fits some games better than others for sure, especially games with quick reaction.

Finally, and I may be wrong on this, I remember reading that the later games have an option to disable a lot of the turn-based micromanaging stuff. Not sure if this is actually a thing now as I haven't played them myself, but this would allow you to play through the campaign with most of the managing and politics being let to the AI to handle while you just focus on the actual warfare and troop creation / movements.
No, this is not true at all. You still need to manage diplomacy, family tree, cities, and other things.

That was way back in 1998, which was over 15 years ago. Did it age gracefully? I like to think so, yes, seeing as I can still enjoy playing it. Should you hold it as a standard for advocating frames? I don't think so. In all forms of media, as technology advances, so should the consumers expectations.
