I was against the DLC announcement and I agree. I'm playing a lot of CK2 now and they released additional DLC for that this week and I don't have a problem with it. There's a difference between...

Good post.

I don't get any of the rage some people seem to show at the idea of TW "going casual" but the idea that the extra money allows for worse business practices does annoy me. What's even...

I might be being cynical here but with the taking down of the original trailer and relative radio silence, perhaps they are just waiting a while until the bad publicity goes away? Or perhaps the...

:laughter:
Thanks. I've already spent all my money on a Cold War era bunker so I'm set.

Same here. I had TW:WH and A:TW on my wishlist to catch them on a sale but took them both off around the time of the Chaos warrior announcement. I won't forget about the games because I'll hear about...

It's your money and we've all bought crap so even if all worse fears about the game are confirmed, the destruction of western civilisation will still be scheduled for 2022.

Personally, I'm not...

I agree there has to be a balance but I don't see why CA can't add more substance to their games. The politics in RTW2 was a bit of a waste.

This, especially 2 (I played Paradox's Victoria and there's like 20 tutorials that are all more complex than a TW one), 4 and 5 (cost issue and I hate lazy, greedy companies).

Most publishers do that and most reviewers are afraid to be too critical of them. Star Wars Battlefront fan reviews rate the game at less than half of what the "critics" do. There was a good video on...

I feel sorry for the kid if he's only 12. The amount of hate he'll see when he logs in. The Internet: the best place to grow up.





Thanks. I suppose that makes sense. Seems weird that...

I have to say I'm slightly confused. Why is it OK to make mods available online for free but not on Steam for free?

Well that's hyperbole but I agree, it's hard to be clear about what exactly is the definition of cut content and expansion packs. What I do believe is that if CA made this game 10 years ago, Chaos...

I get what you mean. Personally, I'll just wait for a sale. This way, I get the game (post patches) and all DLC for the same price (or less) as the release price without encouraging pre-orders or...

The amount of criticism that poor intern will have to shift through. I can imagine him being like Butters in that episode of South Park. :laughter:

The release date? No but it makes a good point.
The whole thing comes down to trust and value for money. I don't trust them enough to pre order and neither trust their explanation for the Chaos dlc...

Well, you said it yourself:



Herd of sheep would be the preference for a marketing platform. I think that forum is only good for questions and certain announcements (like their response to the...

That was mentioned on Reddit (along with the *ahem* "real" release date): https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/3q3hc6/dont_worry_guys_i_found_a_leaked_picture_of_the/

Woh, woh, woh, woh, Woh!
He said Europe, not Germany or Hitler.

Honestly, the ideas some people get into their heads. :whistling

I actually signed that petition. It's obviously nowhere near as important as many other things on that site but I did believe in it so why not?

If true, it's poor form by CA and shows poor...

I think it'll be like Dawn of War. Soulstorm (the last of 3 expansions to the original game) was a stand alone game but only made 2 factions available to play. If you didn't buy the original game,...

I've been posting in the Total War forum. It's amazing how some of them rationalise the DLC. I won't give examples as that might be against the rules to identify specific posts but some of the...

Which makes the "it's not core content or cut content" argument really suspicious.

Check out this picture linked to on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/3q3hc6/dont_worry_guys_i_found_a_leaked_picture_of_the/



Businesses typically want people to want to buy...

I think most 'collector's editions' nowadays are just a fancy name for all the stuff you get when pre ordering or all the stuff they sold after. It's more of a marketing tool than anything actually...

:laughter:
Can some mod delete that post of mine before CA see it?



Dawn of War (a game for Warhammer 40k game) did something slightly similar. That would be a great idea. Hopefully the 4...

1. Use the lore! It's different from Medieval times and if they manage to properly capture the unique personalities of each different race and their culture both with dialogue and events as well as...

It's €49.99 in Ireland iirc. I'm suprised it costs the same as it does in the UK given the exchange rate.

I read a good few of the warhammer books and I'm familiar with most of the lore. The closest comparison I can come up with is that this is like releasing a Total War: Lord of the Rings and offering...

Agreed. I don't mind DLC. It's DLC done badly or dishonestly that annoys me.
Skyrim, Oblivion and Witcher 3 do DLC brilliantly (mostly) imo. Culture packs usually reek of locking things in the game...

My new favourite critic addresses the response by CA on...

He's got a point. Boycotts are normally playing your 'trump card' too early. I actually found a few other of his videos that are relevant to this discussion (pre-orders and dlc pre-orders) and that I...

Kinda makes this redundant. ;)

Fwiw, I'm new here and I signed up because of my interest in Warhammer Total War. The criticism of their DLC policies is, at the very least, understandable and I share that frustration but I don't...

That makes perfect sense. The price has to be worth the content but I suppose that can't be judged until release.



But is that not why you're making 3 games? Just judge the sales based on the...

Exactly. A new campaign or map would be fine as DLC. The major evil faction is not. I keep thinking it's like a LotR game offering Mordor as DLC. DLC should be cosmetic stuff or things that are...

Agreed. There were 3 Roman factions in R:TW but they were largely the same bar colour, location and enemies. They could easily do the same with some of the Empire States and Provinces as well as Orc...

Great idea for a thread.

Personally the decision to play 3 games was acceptable on the condition that each faction was truly diverse. Continuously we have seen people who support CA/Sega on this...

Thanks. :)

Thanks.

I knew this site had many of the mods they show but I wasn't sure if the ones listed here were safe a this is a forum. Is there any difference between the ones on that site and the ones...

Thanks.

I know that some of their mods are located here but I wasn't sure if this forum had checked them for viruses or harmful software or anything. That's why I was looking at a site rather than...
