How is it compared to Rome 2, Atilla and Shogun 2? Been thinking of getting it, but price is still pretty high

How is it compared to Rome 2, Atilla and Shogun 2? Been thinking of getting it, but price is still pretty high.

No point in comparing to anything earlier than those games.

It's incomplete. Wait for the GOTY edition or some such, where all the DLC will be shipped with it.

Less complex but with more unit variety.

THIS ACTION DOES NOT HAVE MY CONSENT

Yep wait out until you can get all the dlc and game for RRP. they sold us an incomplete game on day 1. Typical saga

I like it, I just don't like that there isn't a ending cutscene for any of the races when you finish a grand campaign. All I want is to see and hear my dwarf guy or franz saying something stoic and lookin cool.

...

I don't know what I expected when I heard about Sega being dicks these days, but thanks anons, more waiting for me.

Be still, my beating heart!

EVERYWHERE IS DEATH!

I love touching this cunt.
It's disappointing you can autoresolve the whole campaign

Its the best TW game by miles but it wins because its not history and isnt limited by that type of warfare.

In terms of best historical title that would be Attila. Most of the other TW games are good too, just not as good as TWW or Attila.

>It's disappointing you can autoresolve the whole campaign
You can do that in literally every TW game

Its disappointing autoresolve is even a thing, they should remove it and instead focus on making every battle worth playing.

great game though don't get me wrong but yeah don't get ripped off like i feel.

A lot of the dlc is really reaching for the pricetag even if I try and do my best to consider all the work of actually having to rig and texture a slew of completely new units for each race.

The base game is fine on its own if you really want something to hold you over. Only dlc I haven't tried is the beastmen and I don't feel like I'd be missing much with the base game. The grim and the grave and king and the warlord ones are nice but other than that you can do just fine without anything else right now.

Dont listen to those idiots, warhammer is actually the least Jew TW game of all time. And I really mean all time, there are no shitty over priced reskins and we've gotten more free content than any other TW game has ever gotten.

People just love to hate on CA because of Rome 2

It takes out the boring mechanics like global food that never worked properly, but it's a lot easier as a result. Recommended, but DLC is a major pain.

Warhammer is a simple Total War game with fantasy creatures.

I fucking love that. The fantasy stuff makes it play nothing like the other games. The factions are so incredibly diverse.

But the economic aspect of the game isn't very complicated or interesting. It's just build money house and then build walls for all your settlements that might be attacked.

So if you are into Total War for the strategy, I wouldn't get Warhammer. The combat is really fun though.

Get the Wood Elf DLC too. They are are really fun.

Don't listen to The AI already use all the DLC and shit, just get the DLC for whichever faction you actually want to play.
Also, they've said multiple times they will NOT be doing a GOTY/Complete edition with all DLC.

>The factions are so incredibly diverse.

>CA have come out and said they realize now how important not making reskins is
>next historical game is going to focus on making each faction unique rather than having 30 rehashes factions

Based fantasy saved historical.

Also shit yeah the game economy is way more "streamlined" than other games, there's practically nothing there at all.
I started playing Atilla again recently and forgot how ridiculous the amount of buildings were (and how bad the icons were).

It would be GOTY good if the fucking undeads or demons or what the fucks ( I am not familiar with warhammer universe) wouldn't spawn all the time.

Look at the DLC pricetags, seriously. Just look at them. 59,94€ worth of DLC available right now for a fucking 59.99€ game.

This is bullshit. Even more so if they plan to release even more DLC. Technically right now half of the game is locked behind a paywall if you take the prices into account. I have no idea how they think they can get away with these absolutely incomprehensively and unexplainably jewish practices, and it is your duty not to support this bullshit by actually buying it. Pirate it (if you can, I don't even know if it's cracked) for now and wait for a GOTY edition.

>I dont play or understand anything about TW but I think its unfair because [no justifiable reason]
Where does your hate come from user? Why are you upset that CA for once are making quality products?

>Supporting Sega/CA after Rome 2 and deciding to release TW:Warhammer as half a game
All that's wrong with gaming today, etc. etc.

>Technically right now half of the game is locked behind a paywall


No it isn't. The base game is a complete experience and this is least jewey CA has ever been. Not saying CA aren't right cunts for gouging in the past but this isn't gouging in the least

There will be no GOTY edition.

Also the DLC is all ingame, you will face all the DLC races and units without paying a penny. Paying just unlocks it for selection.

this is seriously turning into some sims type shit where the DLC surpasses the cost of the game by far

If you seriously don't see where my hate comes from, I don't know what to say. I have stated it in my previous post. Those DLC prices are ridiculous, and you are not sane if you don't see why why my criticism is justified. Or you really love to suck that corporate cock.

>59.94€ worth of DLC
>i-its complete experience

Yeah, shill more, please.

>They are ridiculous!
>its justified because no reasons!
Okay but where is your argument, you keep saying its overpriced. Why dont you prove it?

You dont even own TWW so I dont know why you're posting here.

Right. We shouldn't have 8 years for them to finish every race in the Warhammer world, then complained because they didn't include the Dogs of War shit.

At what point is the price "acceptable"?

Suck my dick. Wood Elves were worth 20 bucks and not having to wait forever.

GW killed off Fantasy. This is all we got.

>All the CA-cucks ITT trying to defend their investment
Can't you just accept the fact that you've been ripped off?

>Also the DLC is all ingame, you will face all the DLC races and units without paying a penny. Paying just unlocks it for selection.

How does this justify the pricetag and this disgusting practice? Are you out of your mind, they want you to pay 17,49€ just to be able to select a faction to play as.
And there are people defending this shit. You are sheep, wake up, goddamit.

>major factions sold as DLC
>Chaos pre-order bonus
eat shit

It is though. You don't have to buy the DLC.

>call out CA for their past faggotry
>get called a shill

never change Sup Forumsv

how is it half a game?

explain how

Did you not read my first post? It's right there explaining why it's ridiculous, the DLCs combined cost as much as the base game. And you are trying to tell me this is not ridiculous. What else do I have to prove, you idiot?

>The price/quantity of DLC makes it a scam
You're forgetting a important part which is the quality and effect of the DLC

None of the DLC is exclusive, you can play against all of it even if you dont own it, minus blood. So you are not forced to buy anything for the 'complete' experience. The only two DLC which is undeniably shit is beastmen which is just orcs reskinned and Chaos for being day 1 DLC.

TWW has also received more updates and free DLC than any previous TW game by miles. CA are not perfect and they definitely fucked us over in older TW games but stop trying to attack them for finally changing and making things better.

Removing auto-resolve would be the dumbest thing CA could do

Why would you want to waste 10 minutes fighting a battle you have no chance of winning or one where you overwhelmingly overpower the enemy? It's impossible for every battle to be worth playing in Total War, because naturally you would have your 20 unit doomstack fight a 4 stack enemy army or their doomstack will siege your level 1 town.

Dawn of War 1 expansion cost more than the base game combined. Whats your point?

>>major factions sold as DLC
How should they fund development of new factions then?

>>Chaos pre-order bonus
I agree is a scam.

>I-it would have taken them too long to finish the game if we got all the races in the base game!!!1!
>So paying 20 bucks per race is totally worth it!

its almost exactly like the new total wars, with super fast paced battles, but has less options when it comes to formations and certain orders. more unit variety, commander units are very strong as in they can make or break your army.

overall a fun game but the DLC pricing is total bullshit, wait until huge sale or until they are done with all the DLCs and get them together at once

What is yours? Did you see me saying a single thing about Dawn of War? Don't be ridiculous.

>Cant read; the post
Read again and realize why you're stupid

We can't ever have a nice idscussion without poorfags ruining the thread.

Game is fun. CA have been faggots in th past. Chaos was a jewey move but the rest of the dlc is high quality and not requires to enjoy the base game.

it's fun

so the new races should be free?

They could have included all the races of the warhammer world in the base game. But they chose not to because selling factions for 20 buckaroos each makes them more money.

>They could have included all the races of the warhammer world in the base game
Do you even fucking hear how stupid you sound

Tell me your favorite game, go on, ill prove to you how stupid you are.

See Just because the computer is able to access that content and you may fight against it doesn't magically make the ridiculous pricetag justifyable.

No one is saying you have to buy every piece of DLC. Each race gives the game at least another 40 hours of life, that's worth 17,49€ to me.

either that game comes out 2025 or its half assed

i would rather pay for it

Total War Warhammer

Every fucking race in the base game. Any idea the investment and time that would take? Do you even know how many factions there are in 8th Edition? This aint Rome or Shogun where we can jusr recolor humans and re use animations.


You are being fucking ridiculous, but I expect nothing less form shiitposters.

They should have been included on release, retard.

>ridiculous
You keep saying this, and yet you still havnt provided a single reason as to why its ridiculous

Slavic DLC in Attila is ridiculous. An entirely new faction with unique units and campaign playstyle is not.

Just because CA in the past have been even more jewish than they are now doesn't make their current practices acceptable.
No, this DLC pricing isn't acceptable and you are literal cancer for supporting it. You are everything wrong with the video game industry today.

Base game is fun.DLC is moderately to very jewy. King And The Warlord and probably Blood DLC are the only that i'd say are 'must have'.

Magic is mostly shit, sadly.
OST Isn't really memorable, sadly.
Chaos is probably the worst faction to play, but has some of the funnest units.

None of the DLC is necesassry, but whatever DLC you don't have is in the grand campaign anyway, so expect to see them.

There won't be a GOTY edition, the closest you're getting is Old World Edition which will have all the free DLC up to Bretonnia bundled into it.

Take this as you will.

T. someone with 200 hours in the game and recognizes many flaws in the game but finds it fun enough.

so in may 2016 they should have shipped with

dark elves
high elves
wood elves
empire
bretonnia
orcs and goblins
vampire counts
chaos
beastmen
lizardmen
skaven

ok. totally feasable

Those games are grotesque

What you see on screen are actually simply very detailed animated collective units, not single creatures fighting (unlike in Mountain Blade)

Sad!

>Forgetting Based Ogre kingdoms and Chaos dwarfs

Guess you should find a new hobby, because I bought all the Warhammer DLC and will buy the rest when it drops, surely ending gaming as you know it.

>forgetting Egyptian skellies

Option 1:
>CA rushes out the game with four playable races, the game is a buggy mess like all TW games are, no actual improvements are made to combat/AI, additional factions are released for 20 bucks each

Option 2:
>CA takes an additional year or two MAX to fully develop the game. Real improvements are made. Eight factions are available on release. Sega makes jewbucks from cosmetic DLC

I know which one I'd prefer as a consumer and fan of the TW series.

Very funny, post your actual favorite game

Or hell Ill do it with any game

>Arma should have every single gun, vehicle and land mass in the base game for free
>Dark souls should have every single weapon that has ever been invented in the base game for free
>FEAR should have 100000 maps in the base game for free

Game development takes time and money fucktard. People want every single faction in Warhammer, they cant do everything for free and considering how much they have given for free and the fact you dont have to buy a single fucking faction to play against them CA is actually doing something right for once

The fantastic thing about all this is that TWW has been CAs most successful game and the DLC has been successful as well, so all your bitching and moaning is moot because CA already knows they are doing a good job and most people agree.

Dude, if you don't see how that pricetag for the DLC is ridiculous, we have absolutely nothing to talk about. It's self explanatory, and I don't have to elaborate on shit. 17.49€ for a faction to be playable is R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S. There is nothing else to be said here.
I'll say again, 59.94€ for all the DLCs for a 59.99€ is never going to be acceptable, even if you can afford it. It's the principle.

Not him, but for god's sake, they don't even include the Empire or Chaos as playable factions in the base game. If that isn't pure jewery, I don't know what is.

im sorry. of course they should have had those guys too.

such jews man. how dare they not include 5000000 times as much content as shogun 1?! fucking insane god damn jews

Are you actually trolling, im asking seriously because you cant actually be so fucking stupid to think game development is free

>wood elves
>high elves
>dark elves
>Skaven
>chaos warriors
>chaos demons
>empire
>bretonnia
>Lizardmen
>Ogre Kingdoms
>beastmen
>Tomb Kings
>Vampire Counts


all in the base game, with custom mechanics,visuals, animations, units, and quests.

You are fucking delusional

Ogre kingdoms are due to be dead last to be released so they might as well be forgotten.

Probably means that it will be set in Central/Eastern Asia. Pretty much guarantees that the different factions will have a completely different approach to warfare.

If you're not going to explain yourself or any justifiable reason as to why you think its ridiculous then you're just shitposting.

Thanks for the bumps I guess.

The race packs could and should be cheaper but CA insists on selling them with mediocre mini campaigns. That's the shit that makes me think they're too expensive. Shave 5-7 off the price and add the meme campaign separately and i'd be 100% fine with the price.

Empire is in the base game retard

empire, vc, orcs gobbos, dwarfs and later brets are the ones that come with the base game.

chaos is preorder.

:^)

>IT WOULD TAKE FIFTEEN BAJILLION MAN HOURS FOR CA TO RELEASE THE GAME WITH MORE THAN FOUR PLAYABLE RACES THIS IS COMPLETELY UNFEASIBLE
>meanwhile four russians in a basement made a warhammer mod for Medieval 2 with every race playable

kys all of you

i love the meme campaigns u pleb

>he trusted the english jew
this is games workshop and creative assembly we're talking about here. we all knew what was coming

>Not having Grombrindal

lmfao look at this fucking poorfag doesn't even have a GW store around.

I'll try a more fulfilling list

>Wood Elves
>Dark Elves
>High Elves
>Empire
>Kislev
>Brettonia
>Dwarves
>Chaos Dwarves
>Skaven
>Lizardmen
>Vampire Counts
>Mousillion
>Tomb Kings
>Greenskins
>Warriors of Chaos
>Chaos Beastmen
>Chaos Raiders
>Daemons of Chaos
>Ogre Kingdoms

I'd like it if a game shipped with all these factions but it'll never happen

warhammer total war is about 90000 times better than that fucking awful mod. have you even played it? it looks like shit

>Central/Eastern Asia. Pretty much guarantees that the different factions will have a completely different approach to warfare.
Your first sentence and second sentence make no sense together because Asia absolutely did not have unique warfare between 'factions'

Crossbows chariots and spears. Thats it, 100% of Central Asian history. Not even armor made it as far as Europe did.

Also chances are its the Renaissance not China.

>impying that mod has rigging for all the monsters, animations for chariots, flying unit etc

>implying those factions have unique gameplay mechanics in the mod


guzzle some bleach poorfag

I did more than 1 time, sorry that you are so stupid you didn't manage to understand it, it's a simply thing to begin with really. Then again, what should I expect from someone who actually defends this ridiculous business practice?
And you must be forgetting about the sage function if you think I gave you bumps.

>Of all time
No that would be the original Rome and medieval total war games, which never had units for sale as micros. They started that shit with medieval 2 and it's been a downward slide since. I will say that Total Warhammer isn't the MOST maximum overjew of their games, but it hasn't been out long yet give them time.

>Comparing a mod for a ten year old game made by a group of slavs to a triple A title released months ago
Are you retarded?

>>meanwhile four russians in a basement made a warhammer mod for Medieval 2 with every race playable
Making new models + textures is piss fucking easy you uneducated moron

Its making new animations and skeletons thats a fucking nightmare

Bought it on -25% off, no DLCs.

I've clocked in 50 hours in 5 days, and I haven't even finished my first campaign. I've played all the TW games except M1, Rome 2 & Attila. Warhammer is definitely an improvement over Shogun 2, which had zero variety without DLCs. The campaign is more streamlined now, but I actually prefer this to all the previous games where you swam in dosh after a while. Now enemy armies are much more dangerous since you can lose a lot from letting your settlements be sacked and razed, and you cant wield that many armies either.

My biggest gripe so far is the stupid reinforcing system in battles, and the ease of auto-resolve. And how easy it is to cheese a siege with just a few cannons, while building towers and rams takes forever.

>no point in comparing it to the actual good games
Fag.

Retards are forgetting the reason for this game's existence. It's meant for the diehard fags of WHFB and supposed to be a fucking cheaper alternative to the tabletop. The fact that DLC factions can still exist within the map and you're able to battle out against people who did buy the DLC even if you haven't purchased them is proof enough. I bough the Wood Elves because it was actually what I wanted to play, and I didn't get Beastmen. I'd fucking gladly drop money for the Ogre Kingdoms and Dark Elves as well.

Sega and GW are in a very good position right now where the fans of the franchise actually want to be nickeled and dimed just so they can actually see their favorite faction implemented.

The usual poorfag trying to get into a wage man hobby.

YOU ARE THE ONE THAT COMPARED THEM.

reeee

Thanks for providing proof that you are a certified moron?

>lmfao modders made thing for free!
>But this thing is better than that mod
>F-FUCK YOU YOU CAN"T COMPARE A POLISHED GAME TO THIS MOD

But user, CA actually has teams of people that can do those things
Unlike the poor russkie amateurs
Why so defensive?

when are the high elves coming btw? only reason i want to play again

Northern China fought differently from Southern China. Steppeniggers fought differently from Indus kingdoms.
