Total War: Shogun 2 Complete Edition draws player backlash over AI upscaling and Steam delisting

Total War: Shogun 2 Complete Edition, released on October 13, has drawn 82 percent negative reviews on Steam in the last 24 hours, with players citing poor performance, old and new bugs, broken mod support, graphical issues, and alleged undisclosed AI upscaling of unit cards. Sega also delisted all previous versions from Steam and raised the price, while the install size grew from 3.85GB to 45GB. Kotaku compared original and new images, found lost detail, and has asked Creative Assembly about AI use without a reply yet.
