No king rules forever son
>>722897571And? You're still go continue to play it. And you're all still gonna buy Total War Warhammer 4, Total War 40k, Total War Rome 3, and Total War Medieval 3 when they all inevitably come out.
>recent reviews Don't count
Is 40k Total War going to have a dogshit lauch and finally kill CA?
This is one of those dumb protests that I disagree with.
>>722898057Hopefully not, but it would be fun seeing it and shitposting here.
>>722898067>This is one of those dumb protests that I disagree with.why
i got medieval 2 for 6 canadian dollars and already played it for 100 hoursthe fucking timurids spawned in my territory even though the mongols didn't. im so mad.
>>72289757140k will fix EVERYTHING
The last good Total War game was Medieval 2. /thread
>IM REVIEW BOMBING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT FEEELS SO GOOOD TO REVIEW BOMB BECAUSE CURRENT THING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>722898057Hopefully so, it would be fun seeing it and shitposting here.
>>722898067The impetus may be dumb, but ultimately that’s a problem of people being too complacent to start with rather than the root issue not being a problem
>>722897571>while postan a steam screen shotthe ironing
>>722898145I think is because he's one of those who thinks that CA was going to fix the braindead AI that they've kept unfixed for 3 years of patches.
Whatd I miss this time?
>W2>Turns take 8 seconds>W3>Turns take a fucking minutelol?
Friendly reminder that TW40k will have yellow bolt lasguns and it will be terrible.
So is right now the best time to farm achievements if your a shitter since any campaigns that involve the Tomb Kings of Lizardmen to any real extent are mostly pushovers?
>>722898269CA managed to completely brick the campaign AI for several factions with a recent update. They were radio silent on it for a long time, and only very recently said that maybe they would look into doing a hotfix to address it, but if that is done then expect the coming DLC and major patch to be delayed again. Because for whatever reason CA still doesn't properly allocate resources to the game despite being their only current revenue stream and has a couple more potential years in it.
>>722898326If you’re going to cheese your way to achievements you may as well just get the remove AI cheats mod
>>722898057If you heard Valrak's leaks, yes:the "Realms of Chaos campaign" team is making it, so, of course, they want to do a narrative and steer away from the traditional Total War formula, that they see as "stale".Reinvent the wheel, it's not broke: let's fix it!Based on the Daniel campaign they made, that they consider a big success in game design, they are making a "build a faction" mechanic where you make your own warband of Space Marine or Orks. No Legendary Lord needed! :)You just pick a race, and then start your campaign after 5 minutes in the Army Painter (that's why they're not adding it to WH3).But that's not all.The map is the galaxy map, but all factions are almost hordes. Settlement management is minimal, and for the most part you move around the galaxy with your "warband" doing battle. There's a "Narrative" that progresses and a wonderful story that unfolds around your characters.But these are CA fuckups, it's not enough! So let's add some Games Workshop failure in the mix: they are doing Storm of Chaos.According to Valrak, your performance in the campaign and the performance of all players worldwide is tracked. And there is an "ongoing grand narrative" that changes according to who's winning - how wonderful!So an unplayed irrelevant faction will forever get less attention and updates, guaranteeing lopsided releases and improvements!And Chinese bots may sway the grand narrative with ease too.It will BARELY be a Total War game.
>>722898290Lol, I can tell exactly when you started playing TWW2 if that is your experience with the turn end times in TWW2.
>>722898269>ai for lizardmen and tomb kings is broken>CA won't fix it until 7.0>legend of total war makes a video talking about it and then announces hes quitting total war in january>people review bomb to the point CA has to make a hotfix to adress itthats pretty much it
>>722898226Steam will last longer than the US economy and after that you'll be too busy selling your asshole for sandwiches to worry about PC gaming
>>722898387But will that fuck up Steam Achievements?
>eceleb shitteryYawn. We keep having the same thread, OP. Neck yourself.
>>722898501cs&d
>>722898480>But will that fuck up Steam Achievements?No, Steam achievements still trigger on modded. Barely anyone would have any achievements in TWW3 if they were forced to play vanilla.
>>7228984214 days ago.Not that it matters, everyone just fucking declares war on me at the same time and kills me. Unfun experience.
>>722898392>According to Valrak, your performance in the campaign and the performance of all players worldwide is tracked. And there is an "ongoing grand narrative" that changes according to who's winning - how wonderful!>So an unplayed irrelevant faction will forever get less attention and updates, guaranteeing lopsided releases and improvements!Ah the classic "Space Marines sell so lets devote 90% of content to Space Marines and create a self fulfilling marketing prophecy" Cycle will continue into Total War.
>>722898578git gud!!
cheated for cheevos once and it just killed my enjoyment of game
The game is piss easy why would you ever need to cheat.
>>722898578The Ai is more likely to sic factions of you if you don't have a faction your currently at war with, so you should always have an active war going so at the very least you can have control over who your fighting.
>>722898392Considering parts of this """leak""" have already proven to be unreliable (game was supposed to be announced in June and released at the end of the year, I would be cautious
>>722898392Sounds retarded enough to be completely believable.
>>722897978It does in this case. The game is unplayable at the moment.
>>722898606The problem isn't that it will be Space Marines, it that it will be Primaris shit.
>>722897571They got 15 games out of the series.It was a good run.
>>722898736Sorry Anon, Bigger batman is really popular.
>>722898578learned from playing shogun 2, that you have to gift other factions money, resources, inconsequential land to keep them as friends beyond realm divide. If your diplomacy is where you only react to current events your always too late to shape a meaningful outcome
>>722897723Now try saying that again without the ESL
>>722898736>t. manlet marines paypiggy
>>722897571they were finally clawing back some goodwill after the absolute disaster of shadows of change, and now they're just throwing it away.what's next? are the devs going to start saying retarded inflammatory things like "the right to discuss our game is a privilege" again?
>>722898480Nope.Since it doesn’t remove the aggression, it means the AI sends endless waves of chaff armies at you, leading to absolutely hilarious chokepoint battles if you have good magic to hand.Getting a foot of gork off against 7 units of blobbed skaven is a special feeling.
>>722898794Look if it ends up that GW is course correcting the egregious Primaris stuff in favour of making them more in line with how they were setup before so it is literally just bigger Space Marines then I will actually be fine with that. Just bring back the Tactical Squad and Devastator Squad setups and things will be better.
>>722897571What is it this time?
>>722899350People tired of CA's radio silence in the face of endless bugs and delayed content.
>>722898962It is difficult to properly convey how retarded CA management is and how badly they are hamstringing TWW as a product despite it being a massive money maker. No lessons were learned from the Hyenas fiasco. They simply won't give the TWW3 team the resources despite the profit protential.
>>722899350>eceleb throws a shitfit because devs were planning to bundle the fix for shit AI later in their big patch>mobs get their pitchforks
its crazy that they attempt to simulate ai with such granular detail its no wonder it becomes paralyzedmost software companies would have reverted 6.3 and started freezing the vast majority of the codebase only adding in necessary additions for DLCtheyll never have the confidence to ship changes for existing content again
>>722899330No anon I mean DC literally made a Bigger Batman who is edgy, has the bat Symbol on his chest detach into an Axe and has his version of Bane be an ultra rich serious guy who uses fetus Stem Cell to keep himself from decaying into a demon looking mounter.And the public fucking loves it.
>>722898548This nigger looks almost exactly like my wagie boss and it trips me up every time
>>722899350They broke the AI for multiple factions, like completely broke it, they don't move, they don't recruit, they just declare war on a timer and sit in their capital with their turn 1 armies until someone puts them out of their misery.At least it's better than when the AI broke in TWW2. When they decided they had lost the game they just cheated themselves 7-8 doomstacks and sat in their capital, never moving again.
>>722899504*Version of the Joker
>>722898725its not though. had no problems in my TK campaign. arkhan and khalida are still around in turn 50
What's the controversy? DLC pricing or something like usual? Did they finally fucking add Thanquol?
>>722899721I yearn for the days when they would announce a DLC price.
>>722897978It does when it was a new patch that broke the game.
>>722899253>fighting off 4 full stacks of chaff-skaven with thunderer heavy army with one RoR arty, one bomber-copter and 8 restocks.Most kino battle of late. Was wondering if I would run out of ammo before enemy runs out of rats.
>>722898392>And there is an "ongoing grand narrative" that changes according to who's winningWON MOOR TIME BOYZERE WE GO
>>722899721New patch broke the AI completely so campaign is basically just playing single player with no enemy factions. Imagine buying a chessboard and it only comes with white pieces.
>>722899868at least learn what the real problem is lol
>>722899868The baby looked at you?
>>722897723I don'tthe only TW games I play is Shogun 1 and Rome 1
He won.
>>722898198>>722898198>The last good Total War game was Shogun 1(before expansion)
>>722900296
>>722897571Chinese bot spam, paid for by legendsoftotalwar
>>722900594I knew his marriage was suspect.
>>722898057No, since it won't exist.
>>722897571Total Sellout DLChammer was never good.
>>722897978goys like this pay for broken digital products
>>722898837you are Indian
>>722897723I uninstalled it and see no reason to buy any new CA products until I am shown proof they acquired at least basic competency. It seems that shit devs in particular forget this, but there is other video games out there I can play instead.
>>722897571God I hate e-celebs
>>722898421This.Warhammer 2 had absurdly long turn times until Three Kingdoms came and fixed that shit, with Wh2 devs quickly copy-pasting the work of real devs into their jenga tower.And Wh3, of course, spun off from Wh2 not Three Kingdoms so it didn't have it, either.
>>722897571>do nothing>loseIs this the end of China?
>>72289819440k can't even fix itself
>>722899504except absolute batman is bruce wayne, he is not chad wayne, long lost brother of bruce wayne as the bigger batman post tells usabsolute batman is "batman but big", as the post said, he is batman at peak physical form etc etc so he's bigger than everyone elseabsoloute batman proves that simply making MK7 bigger would have sold, and sold wellstop misinterpreting the post to shill primaris
Hyenah will save the company, the marketing team said it had everything customers loved
>>722902729>The customers loved the Daniel campaign>We will give them another one
>>722902518she fucks rats
>>722897571Never played any goyhammer slop, Medieval III when?
Trust the Great Plan
>>722902969>Med 3Are you daft? CA are far too retarded to ever develop a half decent game even if they actually tried. I also predict they'd turn half the Kings of Europe into niggers or lesbians just because actual history is racist.
Guys, rememberThe ambush AI bug is still present in WH2 where the enemy just holds still like a drooling retard when they're ambushed, totally ruining the experience for any faction that mostly plays ambush battles.Fuck everyone who says we need to be patient with CA, I think WH2 deserves to be review bombed too just for that.
>>722903137It's bizarre how people think Medieval 3 will magically appear and fix everything.
>>722898392>It will BARELY be a Total War game.But that's a good thing, Wawa already barely is a total war game. Hopefully they upgrade the DOGSHIT engine.
HI VOLOUND!HOW ARE YOU?
>>722898057Hopefully yes, cringehammer is, by definition, cringe.
>>722898238No they made the AI even more broken, basically non functional. The game does not work.
>>722903262Even if they did try to upgrade Warscape, management will probably just outsource the job to some dipshit pajeets who will just create another digital abomination
Alien Isolation 2 bros...Should we be worried?
>>722903445No. The team behind that game left years ago already.
>>722903190Is this your first year in the business, anon?The gaming community is largely retarded and hyper-consumerist. That's why games make much more than Hollywood nowadays.If that female Ghost Busters were a video game, it would have broken all of the series' viewership records.They have no memory.They have no standards.They literally buy tickets to movies they do not even fucking go watch.Even the most destitute of normies at the movies are nowhere near as deeply lost as game fanbases.The shit you see on Steam and such is closer to political campaigns and camps rather than merchandise exchange and consumption.
>>722897571Just... fucking rollback the patch and fix it? What is the fucking problem?
CA is terrible at supporting their games. Three Kingdoms still has a literal hole on the campaign map and the Eight Princes DLC is still crashing at 1440p.
>>722897571>kingNever was. The game was shitted on since day one, people went back to tww2 in an instant. I don't understand how people still bought this game after all it happened.
>>722904078It's a better game than Wh2
>>722904078Never bought it because i am not buying the same game 3 times.
>>722904705Keep telling yourself that.
>>722904854want me to list how it's better?
>>722904705Being a contrarian is not a personality trait. Litterally EVERYONE that played both the games understand 2 was better and 3 had good ideas but shitty concretization.
>>722905105Alright, I'll do the list.>Magic is less overpowered>Ranged units are less overpowered>Melee infantry is actually useful>Cavalry charges actually deal damage>Excellent co-op campaign with shared command, and two custom multiplayer campaign maps>Better balanced multiplayer battles with more factions>Multiplayer horde mode>You only buy the vanilla base game? Immediate access to Immortal Empires>You only buy the vanilla base game? 17 Legendary Lords (18 soon) of 9 different factions>Diplomacy screen where you can tell what your enemies are thinking, can "balance offer">Can trade settlements in diplomacy>Can vassalize in diplomacy>Can make cross-faction allied units through diplomacy>"Retry battle" button (1 loading screen instead of 4 to retry a battle)>Very Hard difficulty tweaked so the AI gets less bullshit cheats>Better UI, better tooltips, better interface>Nemesis Crown and other secret items>Warriors of Chaos are fun to play and free with the base game>No Ordertide stomp late game because of the bulky addition of many Chaos factions>Full world map with sea lanes>Endgame Crisis scenarios>New faction and mechanics for Helman Ghorst>New faction and mechanics for Volkmar the Grim>New faction and mechanics for Grombrindal>New faction and mechanics for Kholek Suneater>New faction and mechanics for Sigvad
>>722905243>>Better UI, better tooltips, better interfaceLolwut. At this point you didn't play the game or you just spit things around. The ui and the interface was top 3 most criticized factors.
>>722903864Band-aid solution. If the ai is gonna break so hard over a QOL update, how fucked will it be when the actual reworks come?
>>722905105launch tww3 was worse than tww2, but (current stupid patch aside) immortal empires is better than mortal empires.
Why Mr. Game Developer not just make a good game?Here is my list of wants:-mkae castle battle good-make no bugs gam-make a map to travel and fight=add moar things-more dinosaur men-not ask 25$ for 3 unitIs it really that hard, asking too much???very mysterious game
>>722902238wh3 was spun off wh2 from before the patch that fixed wh2 and they weren't able to port the modifications because they'd already extensively changed things :)
>>722902518>chad wayne, long lost brother of bruce wayneThat's literally Owlman and people eat him up too
>>722905532It's not a rework you just rollback to the latest version and call it a day.
>>722898392God, I fucking wish. CA deserves to crash and burn harder than Ubisoft although for different reasons. It is my biggest fear that 40k sees the company have the most profits its ever had in its entire life solely for the brand name alone.
>>722897571Maybe they shouldn't keep making the game worse. Have they considered that the AI shouldn't be broken every other patch that doesn't fix anything major.
>>722905243Now the negatives.>siege rework has somehow made one of the worst parts of the game even worse>cross-faction mechanics dilute faction identity, turning unique rosters into generic mashups>Turn times are at their worst since the launch of the first game>NPC diplomacy is still nonsensical and often downright broken>Kislev and Cathay lack personality both feel like bad caricatures rather than warhammer >DLCs continue to add bloated mechanics that often boil down to overcomplicated "I win" buttons>Each new update brings more power creep>New powercreep for character1>New powercreep for character2>New powercreep ...I’ll give credit where it's due, the balance changes, UI improvements, and some solid faction reworks are genuinely positive steps. But imo, these are outweighed by the negative aspects.
>>722897571With rome 2 total war went to shit
>>722907486God now you made me remember how shitty Rome 2 was>did you just build...a port?>IT CREATED TOO MUCH DIRT AND WE REVOLTjesus christ the fuck were they thinking. Rome 1 is superior in every single way
>>722906920does watchmen exist in the same universe (e.g new 52) as DC?if not then it diesnt count
>>722899504>Bane be an ultra rich serious guy who uses fetus Stem Cell to keep himself from decaying into a demon looking mounter.That's Joker.Absolute Bane is an absolute abomination of mainline Bane with full control over his body and mind.
>>722907241It's impossible for a 40k game not to sell well if you arent terminally retarded. It probably would sell even if you are.It'd have to be such a monumental fuck up that you'd even struggle to do it intentionally.That and marketing for 40k always works wonders because the setting lends itself to grandiose trailers.
>>722909143-ACK
>>722909237And yet the game made fucking bank for fatshart.It could have been way more but they still won, they only didnt win harder.
>>722909317according to steamDB sold about 1-2 million less copies than Vermintide 2
>>722898057You really still think a company this inept is capable of making another game?
>>722906920owlman is alternate universe batman
>>722909378VT2 was on the market longer and you could buy it for like 3 bucks for years now.Even if it was full price it wouldn't matter since they milked all the retards with the cosmetics shop. It's even worse since the margin on (terribly made) cosmetics is way higher than on an actual game or DLC.
>>722898305Uh, why is that a bad thing?
>>722897571I don't care about review bombs because of a big bug. Once the bug is gone, it's still going to be a great game.
>>722898326What's the point of getting achievements if you can't take pride in earning them legitimately?
>>722898057Hopefully yes
>CA employees on damage control ITT
>>722907000Then you would lose the updates to liggers and kangz. No big deal if you had no intention of playing these factions, but still a shitty solution to a problem that shouldn’t even occurAlso check’d
>>722909237>DTNot a good example. DoW 3 is much better to get your point across
>>722897571This game was always dogshit and the fact that it took for the developers to completely break the AI of multiple factions before normalfaggots finally got up in arms is very telling, when this game had been fucking riddled with bugs that persisted for years, even in WHTW2.
tthe worst part is that the guys in CA Sophia are prettty cool guys that are being fucked by Creative Assemblythey really work hard, when they first got the reins of the game they immediatly updated the spaguetti code made by the diversity hiresDid you know that Bulgaria used to make computers?
>>722903673The video game equivalent of female Ghostbusters was Concord. And that was such a huge hit, right?
>>722910481>CA sophia apologism>10 months into anno domini 2025
>>722903864I'm not an expert on development, is it possible their spaghetti code is just so fucked it *can't* be rolled back?
>>722909567It's been a month now and they still haven't fixed it. How is that excusable? How is it excusable that they even rolled it out without testing it first?
>>72289805740k players dont have standards
>>722898057Bioware has not made a single successful game in over a decade and is still alive. Big studios dont die anymore anon. The lumbering corpse of a once good company will eternally spit out garbage
>>722909237All Fatshart had to do for DT was to have a named party, like Ubersreik five, and all the shortcomings the game has would've been tolerable because the core gameplay is great. But no, they had to make every playable character an NPC.
>>722910898Who knows how long that will last, Bioware is genuinely one failed title away from being killed after EA got new masters to answer to.
>>722910898Bioware isn't a studio anymore, it's a label EA slaps on RPGs.
>>722898606This isn't on GW but on its autistic fanbase that claps like seals when they get shit like human but cultist or human but cop in Rogue Trader. I wanted the game to go wild and get every goddamn kind of race, make a necron companion,an orc something, find a tyranid egg that imprints onto you, some Tau stuff like one of those vool mechs they have, A FUCKING OGRIN. They rage like pigs when something is even closely not lore relevant. Who the fuck cares for the lore when GW retcons everything every year. Let me have some galactic fun with all of your factions without some RPGcodex tryhard looking over my shoulder because he can't possibly see a way how a necron could join the party. This reminds me of the Landis quote of "how do you kill a vampire" and the answer being " you kill it with whatever you want because its a fictional creature".
I'm thinking about getting empire or napoleon definitive edition for the guns and ships, I really liked those in shogun 2 fots. Are they any good?I recently tried to get back into medieval 2 but it aged horrible, I couldn't play it.
>>722897723>And? You're still go continue to play it.I don't think I will my dude. I stopped buying CA products after how badly they were handling the end of TWWH2's lifetime. Before that I bought literally everything they made. Every game, every DLC. Since the very first Rome, before you were born.Nice to see other people jumping ship too. Fuck these devs.
>>722897723I know this is bait but imagine someone actually believing that a company that's become this inept is capable of releasing more games.
>>722898194Kill Erebus. Behead Erebus. Roundhouse kick Erebus into the Warp. Write Erebus’ name in the death note. Slam dunk Erebus as baby into the trashcan. Crucify filthy Erebus. Defecate in Erebus’ food. Launch Erebus into the sun. Stir fry Erebus in a wok. Toss Erebus into active stars. Urinate into Erebus fuel tank. Judo throw Erebus under a Imperial Titans foot. Twist Erebus heads off. Report Erebus to the Inquisition. Karate chop Erebus in half with a powerfist. Curb stomp Erebus. Trap Erebus in the immaterium. Crush Erebus in the trash compactor. Liquefy Erebus in a vat of nurgles acid. Eat Erebus. Dissect Erebus. Exterminate Erebus in the gas chamber. Stomp Erebus’ skull with steel toed powerboots. Cremate Erebus in the oven. Lobotomize Erebus. Mandatory abortions for Erebus. Grind Erebus in the garbage disposal. Drown Erebus in fried chicken grease. Vaporize Erebus with a lasgun. Kick Erebus down the stairs. Feed Erebus to Daemons. Rip Erebus with a Chainsword apart. Kill Erebus with cuts from a powersword.
>>722906750Was it spun off before or after they re-introduced the ambush ai bug into wh2?
>>722897571>read some reviews to see what the fuss is about>legendary youtuber <name> has boycott and quit the series, for shame developer. this game is buggy and i quit too!seriously?
>>722912272yes reddit really is like this
>>722912272It's more about 4 years of putting up with CA's shit and people finally venting.
>>722906920qrd? the only thing I know about this character is that he argued with KoG about how GETs don't matter way back when
>>722906750This reminds me of how Darktide launched with a ton of bugs that had already been fixed in Vermintide because Fatshark probably forked Darktide's codebase off of an earlier version of VT2.
>>722912661lol did they ever add a way to play solo?
Volound Won, Bigly.
>>722912272I don't even give a fuck about nigger of total war.At least 4-5 of the factions are completely broken at the moment (Lizards and Kangz aren't recruiting anything, Beastmen are the same. Chaos Dwarfs just recruit slave units and nothing else, Warriors of Chaos can't use the fucking warband mechanic at all) and that's just one inciting set of bugs alongside numerous other issues.Sieges suck and will never get fixed. Enemy recruiting AI will never get better, enemy campaign AI will never get betterIt's fucking awful.
>>722898326>cheating in steam achievementsfor what fucking purpose

>>722897571They really should call it a day.
>>722897571>mfw never played past TWH1
>>722914216>>722914419It was good after Immortal Empires released, you'd know if you actually played instead of getting your understanding of things entirely through 4chan.
>>722897571Eh, support is ending soon, anyways. Gotta make room for 40k. And you all KNOW they're gonna milk that gane/series for the next 10 years! Probably going to be a trilogy, like warhammer was..
>>722898057I hope so
>>722915383They really should, they’re about to hit the biggest jackpot of their lives with warhammer 40k anyway. Quite literally everybody ITT, on Reddit, and beyond has $160 set aside to instantly preorder whatever the most expensive edition is + blood pack, anyone that says otherwise is lying for no reason since nobody will believe them. CA is about to win the most money they’ve ever seen in their entire existence.
>>722900594why blatantly lie about something that's easily verifiable by people who don't even own the game?
>>722898556I actually have never cheated in the warhammer games. I've earned all my cheevos the natty way. I did cheat when i played pharaoh, though. But that's just because that's the only way to make it any fun to play.
>>722915456you look like a cock crazed slut?
>>722898057If CA could survive Hyenas they can survive anything, only thing that can kill them now is a PR foible of biblical size, people don’t give a shit nowadays if a games barely functional they’d need to actively antagonize the public as it happens, burn the bridges
>>722898226Steams competitors keep actively slamming their cocks in car doors, if even one of them stopped they’d be on par but they just keep going full force till it’s barely hanging on by veins.Epic spent a billion dollars on TIMED exclusives ffs before thinking “hmm maybe that 300 million should mean they’re on the our store permanently”
>>722902969After 40k.
the game was already mostly negative BEFORE legend made a video about the bug because he didn't discover it, /v/ is beyond retarded
>>722904013Hole? Where? I played it last year and didn't see any hole anywhere.
So where's the positive review spam to fight the haters and keep the score high despite the game not working?Other devs get that so why not CA?
>>722917487because the fans are the haters, this isn't review bombing this is their playerbase upset at a broken mess of a game
>>722898194>ywn have a decent Cadia centric gameIt hurts
>>722915910Ca said they would stop releasing the blood packs, though. But the rest of what you said is probably true.
>>722910635Sometimes, but not here since they have beta branches anyone can roll back to. That breaks mods unfortunately though
>>722897571Age of Sigmar will save us
>>722911396>find a tyranid egg that imprints onto youTYRANIDS DO NOT WORK THAT WAYI wouldn't mind some retcons to allow for more independent thinking bioforms so we can get some unique bug characters
>>722911447Yes, but you have to use the Darthmod for Empire and Napoleon. Even Medieval 2 is still good with the Stainless Steel conversion mod. They hold up well and I still play them to this day.Base game relases from CA since Rome1/Med2 have been ass. You need to wait for modders to fix them.
>>722911504You held out longer than I ever could. I haven't bought a CA product since Atilla. Still holding out hope that we will get Medieval 3 someday, but I have zero confidence that CA can deliver a solid product on launch.
>>722921828No.
>>722917464Start with Yuan Shu and you will see it soon
>>722921828Yes.
>>722897571post current steam players you disingenuous cunt
CA deserves constant, unrelenting ridicule for Hyenas.
>>722923179It's the other way around. CA is ridiculing the Total War players by increasing the DLC prices after Hyenas failed.
>>722923179They will instead get constant, unrelenting paypiggies for 40k.
>>722904705Tww3 is better NOW because it's been improved and changed a ton. When the game first launched it was absolutely terrible with no redeeming qualities so everyone went back to the feature-complete Tww2 or just played other games until Tww3 launched the inevitable Immortal Empires. People started getting annoyed at the amount of obnoxious siege battle spam so people installed a mod to remove them until the devs changed that too.
>>722923947I don't think we'll get a 40k TW
>>722924780It's happening.
>>722924780It's literally 99.9 percent certain that that'll eventually be revealed to the world. Probably this year, even.
>>722925017can't wait for the exciting starting roster>Ultramarines>Blood Ravens>Furrymarines>Orks>Chaos as the unplayable endgame crisis
>>722924780It is happening. It is quite literally free lottery money for CA, product quality being an actual nonfactor. They can actually release the most broken piece of shit in gaming history and because it will be titled "Total War Warhammer 40K" it will make them more money than they ever saw in their lives. That name alone transcends hype in all aspects so much so that even you, yes (You), will instantly preorder it the moment its up even despite knowing the chance of an actual quality product is next to zero. I know this, you know this, and CA and GW most definitely fucking know this. That's how much this thing will sell, and that is why it's happening.
>>722899350the game is borderline non-functional and CA doesn't give a fuck because why would they
>>722926038are retards really that obsessed with 40k? that they will buy anything with the name on it even if its obviously a total piece of shit?
I just want a new Total War game. Medieval, Shogun, Empire, Three Kingdoms, Warhammer 40k, Rome... just give me some meaty new Total War.
I posted a negative review because the porn mod maker doesn't want to add more content before the Slaneesh update is here so CA needs to do it or I'll stay mad.
>>722927231based retard coomer
>>722926038Dont care, just want 40k 1, 2, and 3 and then an immortal empires style map to play around in. They can fix the game later. They succeeded in (kinda) fixing warhammer3, so if they can do just that and no more, i'll be content. Perhaps not even happy, just content. And that's good enough for me.
>>722926038Also, i won't buy the first two games upon release. I'll wait until the trilogy is out+ immortal empires map, and then i'll buy the whole shebang at a discount.
>>722929291you would be 50 years old by then.
>>722926997Any new total war game will look laughably puny now, compared to the immortal empires map. Give me medieval 3+two more games to fill it out properly+an immortal empires-style map of europe, and i'll accept it.
>>722929412That's insane, how do you know how old i am? What's my name? Prove you're a legit spook and tell me my name and where i live right now!
>>722909237Sorry to burst your bubble but Fatshark is doing very good and compared to many other industries havent even needed any layoffs while many AAA are crashing.T. Fatshark employee.
>>722929535alright, let me hook up my mind searcher machine real quick
>>722898057It will if:>It's a very obvious reskin of Total Warhammer (think Aspiring Champions = Primaris, units move around in obvious formations from Warhammer, etc)>It is unoptimized like WH3 was on-launch>It doesn't have a population or influence system instead of the dumbed down Growth system>It has obvious bullet drop>It has LOS issues>It has Diplomacy
>>722929619Prove you're a real fatshark employee! Say some crazy shit in swedish!
>>722929731op är en bög
>>722929619Yeah everyone bitches about Swedish game companies, especially because Paradox deserves it, but your industry doesn't recklessly fire devs and destroy institutional knowledge to boost quarterly profits for your corporate overlords like US and UK companies do
>>722924780It's going to happen and once it does it will confirm those old leaks to be probably true. 40k will be treated like an ugly stepchild and only exist as a proof of concept so they can follow up with a big ticket Total War Slopwars star wars that will 99% be abysmal dogshit.
>>722917595>this is their playerbase upset at a broken mess of a gamehow is that any different from any other review bomb, retard?
>>722930289Shit! It's true!
>>722898392Now i understand why Legend has quit TW. If these leaks are true it's a disaster
>>722929619ok, who insists on inserting shitty business models into your games?
>>722930720>Total War SlopwarsEmpire at War is kind of that. It works well enough, at least in space. ground battles suck ass though and the addon is amazingly awful at balance
>>722924780meh if they go full on fantasy route i wouldve preferred lotr
>>722898673There was another leaker talking early this year how only thing he knows about 40k game is. It has hit major delays. And we won't be hearing from it in some times.
>>722911396Next DLC is supposed to be Trazyn's vaults so they can pull literally anything they want for a companion.Too bad it will just be "Loyalist Thousand Son/Word Bearer" though.Also with how much the game goes out of its way to make you absolutely hate eldar I would not be surprised to get a Squat/Votann companion.
Comment unrelated to immage?For CA to be dethroned, an actual competitor has to pop up. Without that, the beaten housewives will crawl back every time.
>>722930896And regardless. It will be major mess at launch. Wh3 launch almost destroyed everyone. Bad launch and 1 year of work until its okey state. And it won't even be total war game. And if you know there wont be proper total war game in next 2 years. Its good time to jump the ship
S2TW can't be topped.
>>722929619>T. Fatshark employee.If so then you would have a financial incentive to lie, just sayin'.
>>722931225People are desperate for alternative. Manor Lords sold massively becouse people want something like total war. Nobody is just capitalising it. This would be perfect time. Next real total war game is probably mid saga game and nobody will care. Next proper total war game will come out in 2030 or 2032 if at all.
>>722930720I wouldn't believe they were doing a Star Wars game if it weren't for the fact that so many AAA games now were made following trends from 7+ years ago. It's extremely believable that CA greenlit that in 2018 and and management has been unable to backtrack now that the IP is toxic
>>722897978I would honestly take newly added mistake over the lingering lifetime of mediocrity.
>>722930986We'll probably get just that, eventually. It kind of seems like a no-brainer for them now, doesn't it? Especially, considering how well warhammer turned out for them.
>>722931790Lotr license is nightmare nowdays. It's probably what's stopping lotr game from happening
>>722897571Steamies really are the most spoiled brats in any medium where you can leave a review
>>722931315I will never not lol at that weird ass balloon they have on their backs. Did they actually have those in real life?
>>722917851You could probably make something like frostpunk, a city builder with ever heightening dread and pressure from a threat that just keeps getting worse.
>>722931958>Nooo don't leave a negative review on a broken game! you spoiled brats
>>722931495Manor lords seem to be a pretty solid game all around, though. That probably also helped, that it seemed like an actual quality game.
>>722898067what happened?
>>722932035It is. But it's one man team. So devlopemnt is slow. Manor Lords wouldn't have sold so well. If total war as healthy and doing well
>>722932060CA made a pro Israel statement.
>>722910767I didn't say any of that was excusable.
>>722931959Supposedly they blocked arrow fire, still leaves questions.
>>722898067>i agree! we shouldn't call out developers on their laziness! bring in that pay DLC already goddamnit CA!!! fuck dealing with the broken AI! i want to COMZOOOOM already!!
I thought this was because of GW suing some random sculptor because they say his stuff can be used in their games and that's illegal somehow, even though that's fucking insane because they'd have to sue every single person who's ever modelled and made their own elf/orc minis beforehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32xzMuAWs-4This company is involved in so much controversy I can't even remember it all.
>>722932229Wasn't idea of cavalry use them. They use big canvas on their back. Wind catches it and balloons it up. And it will protect them from arrows.
>>722932265>GW suinglol that's as common as the sin rising every morning, no one gives a shit about what GW does
>>722932385how did you know my dick's nickname?
>>722897571Literally bought this a few weeks ago and thought it was like crack.Iv only really played Orcs so far but I really had no idea how non functional some factions areUnrelated but is there any other orcs important enough to be legendary lords ?
>>722897723>>722897978CAcucks
>>722932714Left in lore? Few. But there wont be anymore orc dlcs. You will be lucky if there is anymore after next one
>>722897571Was Three Kingdoms the best one?
>>722933407No. Even the chinese didn't like it and they slurp up anything with the remnants of their cultural history after the commies tried to destroy it all.
>>7229334073K is good because of chinese autism.
>>722897571Just another reason I could disabled updates for predominantly singleplayer games.>new update comes out>breaks something in the game>breaks mods>takes weeks to fix, minimumIt's so fucking tiresome
>>722897571I thought Anti-woke fags support this game, so where are they??
>>722934038>being this mindbrokenNot taking all the losses over the last couple years well, huh.
>>7229334073K was good, but unit variety was a big shortcoming. Factions only got one or two unique units, and most of the baseline unit roster was comprised of upgrading tiers of the same units. Didn't stop me from putting a few hundred hours into it though, and I come back to it every now and then.
>>722934038they's damage controlling here isntead
>>722934038too busy fucking your mom
>>722932385What's their fucking problem?
>>722933481wut?it sold like crazy in china.CA just shit the bed supremely hard and lost all momentum with awful DLC decisions for the game though.
>>722934861it lost all momentum immediately after launch so they scaled back their dlc plans
>>722902969Never, but when it comes it will focus on africa and the middle east.
>>722933407from modern one?yesit have flaws and lack some end polish but its good(with some mods)>>722934916yes because CA hurt feeling of chink people and grace pissed chink modders
i like three kingdomsi want a shogun 3 but its basically just three kingdomsi want cool art and duels and the diplomacy
>>722933407Only the engine was good because it enabled unit formation flexibility in a way that would satisfy Zhugeliang cosplayers (the 3k strategy gamer audience). Its literally was the only true innovation to TW until some of the faction mechanics introduced in TWH2.The game itself had shit unit variety, bad factions, bad sieges, an annoying campaign (realm divide times3) and an expansion that literally destroyed all interest in the game (even the chinks hated it)
>Pear Golem
>>722932150That's always a no-no.
Don't give a fuck still playing all of them and buying all dlcs. Stay poor nigger
>>722932251I literally do want to consooom, though. All i ask, is for ca to actually give me some good shit to consooom. But they never seem to want to give me that, sadly.
>>722915512>content that combines the previous 2 games made the 3rd game bettereven if you are anonymous, I didn't think someone would willingly admit defeat so easily
>>722934191Did you even play shogun2? They literally just had swordmen and spearmen and archermen. The thing that saved that game, though, was how insanely playable and replayable that game was.
>>722936571only low unit variety is true
>>722931495Probably because the initial investment would be absolutely massive. You need an engine dedicated to a game like this, otherwise its going to be a larger clusterfuck than TW:WH. I really don't want to see how 5k vs 5k armies with arrows and bullets flying all over the place would look like on unity or unreal, without some heavy modifications.
>>722937807That's nice, anon, but I wasn't talking about Shogun 2.
>>722936131>with some modsWhat mods do you rec? So many of the 3K mods on steam are in fucking Chinese that I have no idea what most of them do.
Is it just me or is the total war series in general kinda fucking dead? Do they even have a new historical game in the works or is it literally just a 40K game and fucking Star Wars slop?
>>722933407Yes. Best diplomacy, best late game, great morale system and most varied ways to use characters. All future TW games should be 3K clones instead of Rome 2 clones.
>>722940978Medieval 3 is rumored to be the next historical totalwar
>>722943537That's funny, because a couple of years ago, the rumor mill said that it was utterly dead and wasn't hsppening at all in any way shape or form.
>>722943653they'll 100% release TW WH40k as their next main title and probably announce Medieval 3 at the same time just to keep the history fans interest, doubt it will be good either way
Is this still not cracked.
>>722943537They can't do Medieval 3 because the expectations would be too high. They haven't done a proper mainline history game since Rome 2 and that was such a disaster that they have been making spinoffs and Warhammer ever since
>>722944095because it still getting patchedonly after they drop support you might see a crack for it
>>722938203>implying the expansion DLC are good>implying Eight Princes didn't destroy all interest in the game
The last good TW was Shogun 2
>>722932060>update bricks the AI of any faction that has unit caps (LZM, Tomb Kings, Beastmen) with the September update, leaving half of Nehekara and nearly all of Lustria a complete dead zone>issue was picked up in the patch beta, CA decide to go ahead with the patch drop anyway just to get it out the door>people complain for nearly a month straight>CA puts out a statement say they'll fix it when the DLC patch drops (months from now)
>>722946683*Fall of the Samurai
>>722946683Nah Empire was the beginning of the end. Shogun -> Medieval 2 is the only good run CA ever had
>>722900243He's a vegetarian. he didn't win shit
>>722897571
>>722914216This. Warhammertards really are competing for the lowest common denominator prize with pokemon fans
>>722897571How bad are the Lizardmen in 3?
>>722948590Anon please, we both know that the Sonicscum has and will always have the gold. Everybody else is just fighting for the silver.
>>722948759Bad in what way? From a battle perspective they're fine, on the campaign they're quite slow going but you've also got the most kiddie-pool starting areas in the game so they're fine overall for that.Personally though I find them even more boring and one-note to play than Khorne
