    Total War: SHOGUN 2 (TW:S2) did not get off to a flying start.

    As this was the first run, it wanted to install Flash Player. I refused to allow that, and it seemed to run OK. Turns out that it was included to show ads on the main menu, so no loss.

    In the case of TW:S2, I knew it was a strategy game, going in, and since I've had a pretty good run with strategy games over the weekend, I thought I'd give it a go.

    That good run ended today.

    I started with the tutorial, and it was just teeth-grindingly slow. I tried to persevere, and finally, after 15 minutes, I was about to engage the enemies on the main battlefield of the tutorial, after a couple of skirmishes.

    ...and it crashed.

    I started it again, went into the campaign, one the first battle, but what little forward motion I had was gone, and I quit out a few minutes later.

    TW:CS2 is, apparently, a "blend of real-time & tactics strategy, but it just hasn't grabbed me, and the random crash was enough to leave me wanting to spend time in other strategy games.

    Maybe ones with Space Marines.
