>'The true experience is the sandbox'>Expect big updates and DLC, but they'll all be built on top of this one game.>With Total War: Warhammer, Creative Assembly designed a trio of games, each with their own bespoke campaigns, but the core of the series quickly became the mode now known as Immortal Empires—every single faction and lord in one massive sandbox. And that's been a big inspiration for Total War: Warhammer 40,000.>At Gamescom 2026, battle product owner Dave Petry told me that the plan was to make the initial release of Total War 40k the "bedrock" upon which Creative Assembly will continue to build, rather than splitting it up into a trilogy.Warhammer Fantasy has just been a 10 year beta test for this..Fantasybros... i don't feel so good... *dies*
Wh2 was perfect and wh3 was such a step backwards so this doesn't bode well
40k is such a fake and gay IP.
>>746695150if this isn't good i will kill myentire total war library
>>746696170WH3 sucked because CA was putting all the resources from their literal money printer into Hyenas. They seem to have learned their lesson now and the current run of WH3 DLC and patches has been good.
>>746695150I mean that's basically what TW Warhammer is, unsure why anyone would be surprised.
>>746696170>>746696870name 1 thing that is a regression from 2 to 3
Do you mean WH3 at launch or its current state?
>>746696972The ui
>>746696972UI, AI, Unit Balance, Faction Balance, fucked up NUMEROUS campaigns from WH1 and WH2 with added factions, extremely easy to dunk on diplo changes, main campaign added in 3 was doo doo diarrhea
>>746698027WH2 was the most horribly balanced game in the history of total warThe best army for every single faction was a stack of 19 missile units or single entity monstersAt least in wh3 infantry and cavalry can do something in battles
Show your WH2 hours. Fucking larps.WH2 is shit. WH1 is even worse.
>>746698223
Wh1 is an actual game wh3 is a sandbox. Theyre both alright, but wh1 is the superior game compared to 3, not 2. At least there is an actual story.And that still has nothing to do with 40k. I don't see the problem with them just having the one game. Just get your faction and play. They should back port the model painter to wh3.
>>746695150>every model a dlc
>>746698027>unit balancedon't make me laugh nigger, 3 was better than 2 in that regard
>>746696870I thought Hyenas was a brainfart from SEGA itself
>>746695150This slop will crash and burn.It clear after the demos it will be just one blob vs another blob with special powers being the deciding factor.
>>746696870>HyenasWhat were they thinking?!
I've never played a Total War game but I played 40k in the late 90s. Well, I mostly just painted cool miniatures since the game sucks.I've been having an 40k itch for a while now so I've read a few books (mostly comedy like the Ciaphas Cain and orks novels).Will Total War 40k be worth pirating?
>>746699048>>746699048TW40k will have denuvoIn the meantime you should pirate pic rel
>>746698223I don't like chinese or chaos and the rus played like shit. I only got it for the ww1 empire mod. Malakai and Elspeth getting grape shot is based but all cannon should have been able to do that.
>>746699105I pirated Rogue Trader. It was okay. Pretty easy once you figure out the gameplay. Way too much pointless dialogues, though.
>>746695150Until the add titanic units to the game, I won’t even look any deeper into it. What’s the point of planetary scale combat in 40k if you don’t have scout titans and heirophants?
>what's the point of 40k if it's not BattleTech
I have no hype for this since the imperial guard is weird now.
>>746696870>the current run of WH3 DLC and patches has been goodThey feel like they are cutting them into smaller pieces to make more money per part, the first and second had like one new race every year and a half, we have yet to see a second new race on 3 despite that game having been released 4 years and a half ago.
>>746695150in other words they're going to sell thousands of dollars worth of dlc
>>746701328There's basically only one race they can concievably do at this point and Dogs of War is just a mish-mash of other races though. People expecting Nippon or Ind or Amazons are delusional.
>>746696170Both are wrong.WH1 had the best design. WH2 did a lot right but it's change in design philosophy was for the worst (And also it had the worst campaign map in the form of Mortal Empires) and WH3 largely just revealed those flaws.
>>746704676Dogs of War is the last one that would work.Nipon has potential but both it and Ind seem unlikely unless CA wants to try make a attempt into the Indian/Japanese market.
>>746699105It also has DRM and I can't play it in coop with friends
>>746704802Unless GW randomly decides to gives the Glub Shitto factions a whole tabletop army, which is INCREDIBLY rare we ain't seeing anything. CA are already struggling to fill out rosters for DLC with actual interesting units that aren't just reskins so the DLC is probably going to trickle in until TW:40k is released and then stop altogether.
>>746695150Thou shall not give a single dime to geedubya and CA.
