sergentzimm Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Total War: Warhammer So Chaos is shown, awesome. But it's only for Pre-orders as DLC, or buy it after launch. Well I guess they got the warhammer model down, charge for everything. I was excited, but now I am not. Now this game goes into my Steam wishlist if it goes on sale for $5 or less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinx Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Its a trend these days to release half a game and then charge hundreds for DLC's for the next couple years. I stopped playing destiny on the PS4 because it was always going in that direction. Its a shame people can't build a full game and sell it for $60 these days. The only way people can change this is if you don't buy the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 ...The only way people can change this is if you don't buy the game. Or buy the complete set 3-5 years later for $10 when they're trying to scrape up any final sales from a title, which is more or less the same thing you said. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Well tell the pirates to stop stealing the games and undercutting the profit and maybe developers could actually afford to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I gotta disagree - with things like this you do get a full game. I'm a huge total war fan and every game is complete when released. The amount of content given in vanilla Rome 2 for example is huge - maybe 15 factions. The DLC, which is all maybe 5 bucks, adds a number of factions. I like it a lot - it encourages the developers to keep developing. Shogun 2 is another great example - you get a TON of factions with just the vanilla game, but they do add a significant amount of content later that can be bought anywhere from 1 to 5 dollars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indytims Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yeah, its hard to argue that DLC isnt an attempt to nickle-and-dime a player base, but if there is a demand for it, software publishers are gonna keep doing it. I rarely ever buy DLC. Usually either the product is good enough to stand on its own, or its bad enough i wouldnt waste another penny on it.

intrizic Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 yeah... but when the developers ask for pre-orders and don't deliver... like Halo Master Chief and Assassins Creed... there isn't any amount of justification that can change the fact that developers are of control with the money grabs. DLC and pre-order bonuses started out on the right track, but there have been some serious mistakes by some big name companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but this is like Total War: Rome not including Romans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Is there even a release date for the game yet? I don't preorder anything from games that haven't even announced a date to go live. Ahh ok..nm,I see that they did announce the date as well.ewps!

Threejacks Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 PC collectors editions are spendy for sure,,and this one is tempting. Normally I wouldn't be interested however,just a few months back I Ebay`d my collectors edition box and contents of Vanilla WoW for 275.00..thats of course without the account.Unopened Vanilla collectors editions can go into the low 4 figures from what I had seen. Total war makes such awesome products and this one being what can be considered one of the last major product releases of the old WHFB world may just make this another good investment.If I do get it I may even leave it unopened just for that reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 This one just keeps getting more and more tempting. The level of customization on each of the factions is just amazing. Right off the bat, playing each faction will be like playing a whole new game. That is a serious amount of work for each one. I may have to preorder this so that I can get all five starting factions.

Andrewgeddon Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Reviews are coming back pretty positive, if you put stock in that sort of thing. 86% on Metacritic based on 31 reviews so far. Casually mentioned to my wife that it would make a good birthday present for someone, heh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewgeddon Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 After watching a number of "Let's Play" videos, I went ahead and pulled the trigger. Pre-loading now, looking forward to getting my Old World on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Dang it...I pulled the trigger too....I did notice that the "free chaos" was extended to "first week" purchases as well. I think preorder did not go great for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr. Bigglesworth Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Never heard of a 360 trailer. That was the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashthedean Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 If anything I think games that push DLC after DLC encourage piracy more than anything. The biggest things that make me want to put out actual money for a game are free patch support and mod content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there will be official expansions as well,im sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashthedean Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Nice! Well if there is modding, I'm sure all of the factions will be out within a month of release (unless the mod toolset is real bad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Should be named, Total War [big bad swear word]ing piece of bull[big bad swear word]. Jesus christ...they have a higher level of difficulty besides normal?? Stupid ass [big bad swear word]. [big bad swear word]ing super enemy generals that can fly across the whole board so you get gang raped by three armies at once. Brilliant. Then when you look at an enemy city, it looks like there is only a small garrison there...but no...there's a whole [big bad swear word]ing other army that you can't see... two campaigns over in about an hour. So much bull[big bad swear word]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Well my dwarfs made it to turn 9 before they were gang raped by 5 different orc armies....I did beat grimgore though...so that was a highlight. But old Thorgrim bought it to some no named orc lord. This game is just [big bad swear word]ing stupid. I can't recruit more armies and yet I'm constantly outnumbered if I leave my city. So you just sit there in your city for 30 turns until the massed enemy armies eventually come knocking at your door? Oh, and what the hell is up with the load times?? Jesus christ...I play the game 1/3rd of the time, the other 2/3rds are watching the load bar crawl along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 No offense to you BroG, but... I've never been a fan of the Total War franchise for some of the reasons you mentioned here and so even with the snazzy reskin I decided to skip this one. You're making me happy I did so. (I'm waiting for the next rant to be "Why am I better off having the computer fight my battle when I need to minimize casualties in a game where the point is to play the battles?" which is really my biggest rant about the whole thing. There is no way that I can "fight a battle" and lose only one man but somehow the computer can do so... What am I missing?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
