soihammer is not a "game", it's a product. A product that shallow-minded consumers buy into.
Pander to the lowest common denominator who is more likely to spend more money on lower-effort shit, and you end up with a series like Total War that gets anal raped by a swarm of mindless NPC fanboys, who have to let every nook and cranny of the internet know that >SOI BE PRAISED
Whenever anything gets too good, developers will eventually sell out to idiots and that's how you end up with shit like soihammer in Total War. Always.
>tfw when you are a brainlet realizing for the first time that games are commercial products, and that products need to make money since their developers need to eat and posts saying "based and redpilled" aren't edible

Not every. There are many games out there that are an expression of creativity, convey an idea or feeling. Those that end up being high-quality and cement their status as unique and legendary games, will eventually get acquired and milked, or hell, the publishers themselves will get so big from it they will become sellouts themselves.

Dylan Ross
no Soi with Warhammer exists, it's called "Age of Sigmar"
David Carter
Morrowind, Total War series, Command & Conquer, Fallout, Planetside, Minecraft (possibly the biggest sellout of all time), GTA obviously, etc.
Carter Gutierrez
It's their best game since the original Rome. Seethe more history fag
Isaac Evans
Have you guys notice that this histcuck at around this time always makes the same thread trying to chimp out. It's over buddy everyone knows what WH2 is and how good it is. You should've done this when it first came out and barely had anything now it's too late.
Gabriel Rivera
Age of Sigmar is only Warhammer Fantasy in name only.
Jaxson Rodriguez
Next you're going to say the Chaos Dwarves are real and that there are ratmen under the Empire.
>First cross-game DLC hits the shelves >Free DLC adds Gor-Rok with Kroak straight from the get-go >Empire gets its mechanics update and new stuff All sweet, though I need to see how they did the Runefang quest since Karl starts with his from the get-go while the quest he gets is for the Darkwald one. Also pity they didn't change anything with Volkmar's questline. I really want to avoid a war with Kislev and instead support them long enough to be fully prepared to face Archaon and his 20 doomstacks of high-octane rape engines.
holy shit warhammer fans are seriously completely insufferable

don't go into autism threads if you don't want autism. how hard is that to understand?
Kayden Garcia
After all these years (how many...three?), the immense butthurt that a very successful game set in a fantasy setting (the tragedy!) caused histcucks has still not abated. The fact that here in Yea Forums, their own general they had for many years became ours in a matter of months, is still like cutting inside to their bone to this day.
After history failures like TOB or the fact that their beloved Rome 2 became only recently at least properly playable, is something that they cannot and will not ever swallow. As they will never be able to shallow the fact that people, even old fans, prefered something else for a change and chose Epic Fantasy instead of more color paletted spearmanii in pajamas.
See ya in Troy, histcucks. But I've heard that even this might be too fantasy for you.
Anyone have experience with a DLC unlocker? I'm wondering if Steam will ban my 8 year, 300 game account for using CreamAPI for this game. I've never even considered something like that before, but I've been driven to it by CA's awful jewish DLC pricing.
Cameron Jackson
Personally haven't had any problems so far but no idea can't vouch for it really.
Thomas Peterson
Yah rome 2 was TOTALLY the shit, like the best total war in the universe. What about britannia was so RAD really? Is not that the franchise was dead after shogun 2. Keep living in your delusional world.
Noah Peterson
>if you don't want autism I don't know why someone would even be on Yea Forums if they were averse to autism.
Evan Collins
Safer to just flat out pirate, unless you want it for multiplayer
David Carter
i just want another napoleon or another empire
Michael Morris
Fair point.
Jace Campbell
None of the pirated versions are up to date though. There hasn't been a new crack since late last year, so any DLC released since then is unplayable.
Jordan Perry
I used to do it before buying all dlc (that I didn't have) on the sale.
Joseph Hernandez
NOO HOW DARE *preorders* YOU INSULT *buys DLC* MY MEME GAME *buys more DLC* I ALWAYS LOVED WARHAMMER BEFORE THIS *preorders sequel for exclusive preorder DLC*
People wanted a TW Warhammer since the first Shogun TW released. GW was just too stupid to capitalise on the WHFB IP back when it was big.
Just give us the 3rd and final game along with enough DLC to flesh out the remaining races and Lords/Heroes and we will be happy.
Joshua Rodriguez
Just for you to know I bought the game with all dlcs TWICE for the regular price, because I like it so much. What are going to do about it?
Kayden Peterson
I'm not a Warhammerfag, what remaining races are there in the setting that would be likely to make it into a third game?
Jacob Wilson
I refuse to buy this game until it comes as a full game with all DLC included for less than 60 euros.
Brody Morris
Poorfag lmao
Andrew Martin
>buys gold at twice the price like a good goy >lmao poorfags can't afford gold at twice its value
Isaac Young
>races More like factions. Possibly Kislev (fantasy slavs), chaos dwarfs, ogres and chaos demons.
Isaiah Butler
Yeah the dlc policy they have is predatory not as much as paradox maybe but it's up there.
Jackson Anderson
Well the 4 flavors of Chaos for certain. Ogre Kingdoms. Chaos Dwarfs. And possibly Chaos Daemons as another individual faction.
Given where the 3rd game is located it is possible that they may reuse some assets from 3 Kingdoms and put in Cathay as a faction.
When we have the full unified Mortal Empires map they may also look at doing Dogs of War.
Aaron Gray
Bring on glorious Cathay and Nipon.
Matthew Foster
Oh no I'm so angry now
Nathaniel Baker
>People wanted a TW Warhammer since the first Shogun TW released. Wasn't it actually after the whole Medieval II mod Call of Warhammer that people got interested in the idea of a Total War set in Warhammer Fantasy? And then snippets and rumors were appearing just before Shogun 2 hit the shelves?
Ayden Thomas
ATE ELGI ATE UMGI ATE URKS ATE GROBI LUV BUGMANS LUV ME AZ
Oh yeah Kislev. The only real question is whether they will be fleshed out as part of the base game as the antagonists or done later as a DLC. Looking forward to Bear Cav and Ice Witches.
Owen Flores
>Ogre Kingdoms Damn i have 3k of ogre army irl i totally would buy first day. They are so fun to play.
Nathan Reyes
People wanted more WHFB RTS since Shadow of the Horned Rat and Dark Omen. TW seemed like the next logical choice. Instead we had to wait until Chaos March which was not terrible but nor was it anything special.
Alexander Collins
>antagonists How are they antagonists?
Mason Butler
>Call of Warhammer The cool thing is that the game is still getting updated, even if at the speed of a turtle, even to this day. There's even an "Alternative Cut" where it unifies the Empire into one faction and in the place of the old Imperial Provinces, they add new faction and units for all.
Hunter Parker
Dont forget Gotrek & Felix coming in Oct (or Sept if you shekel out)
Aaron Barnes
They are all but guaranteed given where the 3rd game is set. It is only a question of base game or DLC.
Adrian Allen
Bsed manlet.
Blake Morales
The focus is on being Chaos in the 3rd game. Hence you would be building up your forces to go push Kislev's shit in and go knocking on the Empire's door.
Nathaniel Parker
wtf i love rats now
Jeremiah Johnson
Dogs of War are cool as fuck I hope they make it in
Elijah Foster
Why should I be doing anything? I'm neither your stepfather or your therapist. You must deal with your faggotry and sexual insecurity all by yourself
I'd be interested to see if the really small one-off stuff gets in, like Amazons or Sisters of Sigmar. Probably not as full armies or anything but regiments of renown you can buy.
Jordan Lopez
Some lesser likely factions might be Kurgan, Nippon, Hobgoblins, Ind, and Nagash.
>buzzwords the post woooow, you're such an intellectual
Joseph Ward
Well Mark of Chaos and Battle March were kinda more in the vein of SoTHR and Dark Omen (and these latter two indirectly inspired the Total War series). So it came full circle.
I need to go and replay it. It was millennia since then.
Oh yeah. Forgot about those two. I will wait. Don't have access to White Dwarf in my country. Also hoping they fix Felix. When I saw his model on ItalianSpartacus's channel he looked wasted.
Honestly I wonder how they will make the 3rd game. Dark Lands and Mountains of Mourn are the logical steps onward. But then these would be only two factions (Chaos Dwarfs and Ogre Kingdoms). Three if we add Chaos Daemons. But how will they fit in Kislev? They would need to add a piece of the Old World map (Kislev + World Edge Mountains). Actually fitting since Chaos Dwarfs have a bone to pick up with their normal kin.
Isaiah Kelly
Pure luck. Total Warhammer being great was a 50/50 shot with CA, and Fatshark making Vermintide 1 & 2 as good as they are is literally insane. Haven't played Chaosbane so I don't know but I've heard it's decent. Problem with 40k is that they keep giving it to shit developers who only make like fucking phone game-tier shit. DoW3 eating shit probably iced any good 40k games for awhile.
Carter Jenkins
They can't really hold them back for dlc can they? Like, there's not many choices for races left in the first place
Angel Smith
Until Total War: 40,000, that is.
Aiden Cook
For Warhammer 3 I would definately bet upon these factions being in the game:
>Daemons of Chaos (not sure if they will be seperated into 4) >Ogre Kingdoms >Chaos Dwarfs >Either the southern city states or DOW (perhaps both) >Silver Pinnacle (Neferata) >maybe Araby...maybe
And for late game final boss/battle they could bring a Nagash faction led by him resurrected.
Carter Walker
how the fuck are they going to squeeze more factions into game 3's mortal empires? the game already takes like two minutes between turns
>breaks in year What? I bought my SSD 3 years ago for TWW1 and it still works just fine.
Jack Davis
Also why purchasing it only for one game.
Joshua Campbell
>t. stuck in 2010
Eli Stewart
So, since 2002?
Elijah Hughes
>$100 down the drain >He says in a thread about a game subseries that has people literally asking for more dlc
Juan Martin
Started with medieval 1 near release yes.
Levi Scott
Odds are the global map will be panned slightly south (trimming off the huge swath of the northern pole north of Norsca) and slightly east (trimming off at least half of the western half of Naggaroth and Lustria) to make room for new lands east of the current eastern map edge. I also suspect many factions will be condensed, with multiple LL's filed under a single faction rather than each LL having their own. Ex no dozen lizardmen, delf, helf, or skaven factions.
Logan Harris
>retards literally asking for more dlc
Zachary Cox
>people literally asking for more dlc >how dare people wish for more content for the game that they like?! Yeah, that's some weird shit
Christian Torres
Eh, I enjoy playing it and thats enough for me.
Parker Howard
>ask for more DLC >get more free content Seems good to me
Brody Sanchez
>Have the ability to pirate said DLC >Spergs out instead Is it brain damage?
Elijah Gutierrez
CA lord pack dlc is fucking shit. Is 2 or 3 new units with 3 or more reskinned ones. They stopped making factions because this is more profitable and you cucks pay for it
>free content Are you retarded? no one works for free, if they are wasting time making content is because you already pay for it
Justin Murphy
>implying I havent spent a cent on a CA game and never will, stay mad.
Connor Morgan
>180$ for WH3's mortal empires >15 minute turn times >everyone is fine with this Why arent more people complaining about this? WH2's mortal empires is literally a fucking alt+tab simulator at this point
Brandon Ward
I thought they would do the rest of the factions in Total War III where the 4 main factions will be the chaos lords and the dlc would be ogre kingdoms, chaos dwarves etc.
Angel Powell
This is how publically traded companies work. When will you learn? They are legally obligated to go after profit. All of them sell out.
Jaxson Morgan
>Is 2 or 3 new units with 3 or more reskinned ones Lord Packs are not about units. They are about new LLs with their own starting positions and mechanics.
