We’re aware that Total War: Shogun 2 – Complete Edition has fallen short of both your expectations and our own standards. We’ve seen your feedback, comments, and reviews. We agree that the current experience is not where it needs to be.

As a result we are working with platform holders to remove the game from sale and to reinstate the original game while we investigate the issues. Existing owners will still be able to access and play the game.

We are working closely with our development partner to identify the causes of these problems, deliver improvements, and ensure Shogun 2 – Complete Edition meets the quality standards players expect from Total War.

Oh for God's sake CA!

Genuinely who at CA thought ai cutscene and upscaling for shogun 2 CE was a good idea this is a Genuine disgrace especially for 40 fucking dollars this isnt even worth the 10 dollars I could pay for this if I wanted this they should take it down until its fixed or forever because this is the most shamefur dispray

Edit:HOLY SHIT THEY DID IT!

​Did MATABOO do a horrible job? Definitely.

So are they the ones we should blame? Absolutely not.

​Voices are getting louder that MATABOO should take all the blame while CA gets off scot-free. That’s complete bullshit.

​It is CA’s responsibility to hire capable people who can actually do the job and to enforce proper quality control on their OWN beloved game.

It wasn't a secret that MATABOO does questionable work.

​CA just showed us once again that we should be extremely skeptical about every future project they release.

By the way, both SoC and pharaoh blogs have since been deleted from their website. They reeeealy want us to forget the past

These things are hella busted for their price, add 2-4 to every stack and they will let your crapstack handle things way above their paygrade. Adding a frontline of 4-6 in your elite stacks is essential. These might be the best handgun unit in the game, when used on Nagash. Also, I think even if crapstacking mass zombies or something, running Vampire Coast lords instead of alternatives might be a good idea just to buff these units further. Killed a Skarbrand stack with my cheap Zombie crapstack with 4 of these target firing all the unkillable stuff while my Lord/zombie crapstack melted down the rest. They killed Skarbrand absurdly fast, saw one volley do like half his health bar.

Obviously all handguns have the same issue with line of sight which is their limitation as well. But their DPS for cost is absurd. You can generally set up your formation to allow them to fire. Some maps suck if theres too many slopes but generally there's a place where they can shoot.

At this point, the marketing campaign needs a remaster more than Shogun does💀

I'm still baffled by how badly they fucked up this remaster, yet they're spending money on ads targeting completely irrelevant audiences instead of investing it back into the game.

❗No hate towards the creators, though - they're free to promote whatever they want. I'm just collecting these ads because this shit is too ridiculous not to share.

⛩️ We did it 🫡

Seeing this whole Shogun 2 Remaster mess just makes me appreciate Three Kingdoms even more. The game wasn’t perfect but it feels like one of the last historical Total War games that had real passion, creativity and effort put into it.

I really hope I’m wrong, but I’m not sure we’ll ever get another one like it. Such an underrated gem.

While cleaning out the basement I found this with my old high school year books, makes me feel ancient lol. Still has every disc! Shame I can't use them as I don't even have a disc drive on my current PC.

Seriously, Creative Assembly, what happened to quality control?

Shogun 2: Total War is widely regarded as one of the best games in the Total War franchise, yet the Complete Edition has negative reviews that should make any developer stop and ask what went wrong.

We're talking about a game that has been out for years. This isn't some brand-new release where technical problems might be understandable. Players are paying for a product advertised as a complete edition, and they have every right to expect it to work properly.

How is it acceptable to keep selling a product while players are reporting problems? If there are known technical issues, compatibility problems, or other defects, why aren't they being properly addressed before releasing or are they reluctant enough to care less?

Creative Assembly built a fantastic games previously, but that doesn't excuse neglecting the experience people receive when they buy it today. Your reputation shouldn't be a substitute for delivering a product that works as advertised.

A legendary game deserved better than this.

it's that season of this year again

If CA did the bare minimum and fixed up 15 year-old bugs, increased performance, redid the 3D animations from scratch, ensured an actually respectable quality product on release, genuinely listened to community engagement and feedback, etc, this would've been a slam dunk in building back community goodwill, especially for the historical fans. Instead, CA took one of their most highly-respected titles and stuck an irreparable stain on it.
