As expected from an early access game.

Three Kingdoms is the first Total War game I bought full price since Medieval, it was worse in every way than Shogun 2, i tried very hard to like it but it felt like a pump and dump

3KBROS WE WON

Sekino!

I am in absolute awe at how hard they are fucking it up. It's mind boggling. No race pack for 2022, no IE for 2022, just a beta. Bug fixes every fucking quarter.
They fucked up Norsca for WH2 and now they fucked up all of WH2 for WH3. It's a god damn master class in failure, this is practiced failure that you can't just stumble into.

They're dumb as fuck to ruin this trilogy now, holy shit.

My theory is that Sega wanted CA to release the game before the end of their fiscal year on March 31 and it was rushed. In hindsight that was stupid since Elden Ring ate it (and everyone else's) lunch and the back half of 2022 looks pretty barren. WH3 really should have been a fall release.

I want Shogun 3
But I know the monkey paw will make it look more like the Dynasty Warriors or Total Warhammer meme fantasy garbage instead of gritty real combat

So they either pushed this shit out long before it was ready, or are working on something else? Or just raging incompetence and lack of talent

I don't know shit about TW3, what's wrong with this?

All of that

TW3 honeymoon period was short.
People got tired of the baseline campaign after just one since it's not particularly well made. What most people want from totalwar is a big map so they can eventually fill up and paint to their hearts content
Shits not coming out till August at the fastest

What's the issue?

Half of these things are already ameliorated with mods like antiplayer bias and respawn rates. Yeah it would be nice for CA to just make a more convincing AI so that campaigns have interesting wars between computer factions and allies actually try to help you... but CA.
The other half is literally blood dlc and regiments of renown...
and then a tell that IME is coming as a beta with only part of the total map and few factions at the start.... so basically the chaos campaign without the gates...
I *really* hope that modders figure out how to do scripting and custom maps and campaigns. CA isn't going to develop this game.

PS, anyone know a good nude mod for the Xiaolin Showdown siblings? I feel like they'd be more fun to play if titties and dongers were at least flying about. Or maybe a mod to clean up nurgle and ogres so they have less cold sores? Its cool at first but I hate staring at the grotesque for a full campaign.

3K peaks at China hours. Its funny that despite fucking up the game furiously the chinks are still playing it

Chinks are a highly nepotistic breed

>Considered getting it on release, despite seeing how rocky it is
>Friend reminds me CA games aren't worth getting for at least a year after release
>Don't get
>IE, (the only map I would ever want to play), BETA in Q3
Wew lad

people want to play a game mode with a giant map where you make allies and paint the entire world with your faction and confederation.
Currently the only map has a campaign where you turtle in 2-3 provinces and send armies through chaos gates to go play a bad tower defense game. Every faction does the same thing and because its a race and the ai gets bias against the player and resource cheats (read: CA doesnt know how to handle difficulty or add strategy to its AI so they give cheats). It ends up making the campaign an unfun grind and its repetitive.
They could have made a dungeon master tower defense mode for chaos factions to defend their soul... but no. I like the idea of a firefight type gamemode (CA made halo wars 2) but these survival battles suck.

Why does a balance change require months of coding and a fucking beta?

Thank god the chat is getting reworked
thanks CA

why are they still catering to the multi-player audience that doesn't exist

IE is the reason people want the game. It's not going to be on the live version of the game until NEXT YEAR.
IE is also a huge deal for the multiplayer scene, because it's meant to allow you to use the Wh1 and 2 races in WH3 multiplayer. Currently, WH3 multiplayer is dead as fuck because there's only 6 factions, and 3 of them are melee only factions.

Basically CA is retarded and Wh3 shouldn't have even launched until Feb 2023, when it actually launched Feb 2022

well, theres always 2 i guess.

One would think it would be more popular

WHY THE FUCK IS REPLENISHMENT A BULLET POINT FOR Q3
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH CA?

Fucking Christ what the fuck are they even doing at work? Why can modders fix this shit day1 but CA can't do it for half a year?

i hate this fluff talk. you're gonna add vote kick so you can kick trolls. wow, good.

After this game, I'm sure CA is going down.

Imagine after years you have a game which finally works, has good graphics and after a billion of dlcs has everything people wants.
Then an idiot comes and say NO TRASH EVERYTHING WE RESTART BUILDING FROM SCRAPS CAUSE... WE NEED MORE GRAPHIC.

I hope they shot everyone who was that retarded.

Meanwhile in mods

Yeah nah SFO can get fucked alongside CA.

Is 3k worth it?

agreed.
SFO does cool stuff with some tech and skill trees. I also enjoyed upgrading norsca units like the greenskins and buffs to their boons and making a demon prince type of chaos undivided playstyle more possible but the clusterfuck of buildings and complications that come from the unit balancing ruins it for me.

Right now, it at least is worth more than TWW3. That roadmap, yeesh.

Typical blue hair developers relying on mods

Outside of the roster variety and magic, 3k is largely superior to Warhammer in my opinion. The systems it has allows for a way more dynamic campaign playstyle. Spies and Diplomacy shenanigans lets you have a unique playthrough every game. The downside is it needs mods and the dlc to make it complete because CA has outright abandoned it. A lot of the factions feel the same without dlc, Shogun 2 levels of similarity, and can get stale very quickly if you're used to Warhammer's massive variety of units to chose from.
However if you want a more macro level and character driven campaign, then 3k shits all over Warhammer.

Again thank you Volound for opening my eyes, I almost pre-ordered.

You need to wait till Q3 to fix something like "replenishment rate"?
Really?

>However if you want a more macro level and character driven campaign, then 3k shits all over Warhammer.
At that point just get CK3.

in short:
ca: wh3 is in a shit position right now, and we're trying to fix it first before giving you a beta of immortal empires. oh and because we fuck up with rendering and texture filtering we had to delay the blood pack until q3.
totalwar.com/blog/twwh3-roadmap-2022/
the entire blog reads like that wh3 needed more time of development and its currently a giant beta at best, but rushed the release of it anyway, probably because to satisfy some shareholders or some shit.

The diplomacy and campaign gameplay blows every other game in the series out of the water

It's honestly bizarre. A lot of the shit they've listed there is literally just numbers tweaks, it should be the work of an afternoon or two, not six fucking months. Even The Regiments of Renown, they're just reskins of existing units. A halfway competent artist could pump out one of two of those a week easily.
The only reason I can see for such a small amount of content taking so long is either they're literally collapsing internally, or they're in full scale pre production for another game and they've all but dropped support for WH3.

>A halfway competent artist could pump out one of two of those a week easily.
The chinese modder already made an entire new Cathay army within a week, all mostly unique from the base game's units. So them needed months to make RoR is such utter garbage.
It's like they only have 2 dudes working on the game, 1 of them being the janitor.

This part is one of the head tilting ones. Like figuring out unit responsiveness should be something that needs to be hammered in right from the start. It's the gameplay. They saying that making the units do what they're told to do is gong to be a "long term project"? That's not really inspiring confidence.

Ah, no, I've just realized. They completely rejigged the lighting engine in WH3 (again), so their artists are probably having to redo EVERY unit in the game for IE.
I hate it when developers pour stupid amounts of resources into shit like updating lighting, that nobody gives the slightest fuck about because it was completely fine before. It doesn't have to be perfect, nobody played TWWH for its atmospheric lighting.

The way they've worded it, it seems like they main dev team fucked off already and left the project with the "DLC team" which I expect is a barebones team of like 12 people keeping the game on life support. A motherfucking mind boggling decision when you think about it, seeing as Warhammer kept CA afloat. That they'd just abandon their flagship series like this is insane to me. Their management seems utterly incompetent.

You mean the same lighting that makes units randomly glow like LED strobe lights, and makes snow maps look like flashbangs they're that bright?
That lighting engine?

You mean I'm not the only one who gets bloodthirsters with glowing green wings? I thought my gpu was dying.

What a joke

SFO adds 80% shit, 20% fun and then spends months.balancing half the fun they added back out of the game.

a bunch of retards new to totalwar games preordered warhammer 3 on the hopium that the main game mode (which was confirmed NOT coming at launch) would be available almost instantly after launch (1-2 months)

now it's coming in beta, in maybe 4 months best case scenario, and then even later for release (assuming no more delays or outright being cancelled)

>----INCOMING TRANSMISSION: DESTINATION: Yea Forums.----
>----LOCATION OF ORIGIN: UNKNOWN.----

CA lost this war days ago... Your shills are Broken.
Scattered.
Hunted.
Defeated!
By incompetence...
It wish It could tell you it was difficult... It wasn't.
We are one step ahead. Always. The streamers are already under our control. Soon, the rhetoric surrounding the game will be as well. Doomposters and historychads share the same goal. We shill together to further the income from history titles.
But... without seethe, I grew... weary. Lost. Alone. But... here you now stand. This is my last doompost. A true test of cope. The game's failure will outlive us both. Set a fire in your heart, shill. Bear your autism. Seethe hard. Dilate well...

3K is beloved in Asia, not just China. And likewise, those are Asian hours.
I think I've even heard about Koreans finishing some Goguryeo mod for the game.

I preordered the game on release. Imagine my face at the moment.

I didn't look into 3 at all after seeing at 50% reviews what's so bad about 3?

Not to mentions modders fixed most of these stuff litterally days withing the opening of the workshop

He won.

He fucking won...

We waited three months for something that was said to be posted 2 weeks after release, only to be told that the most basic features are still half a year away

Fucking amazing, CA does it again. When was the last time they had a launch that wasn't unfinished shit? Med 2? Shogun 1? Honest question cause I can't fucking remember

The main campaign is shit, and the game overall is just buggy.
But the main reason people are so pissed is the ultra slow release of patches for the game, and them pushing back their content schedule with flc and dlc.

ugly ass nigger monkey I will never give up warhammer fantasy
btw I am trans and there is nothing you can do about it
