Total War: Warhammer

Your thoughts? are you getting it? and have you been watching them very sexy trailers?
shame lizardmen aren't a starting fraction hope next dlc is themselves and the dark elves.... one can only hope to lead his saurus warriors into the fray.

 

I know the feeling the graphics look amazing. And the gameplay yet it's only alpha imagine what it will be like when polished

 

I'll probably wait until they add a Lizardmen faction.

 

I cannot resist like you my friend.... For the age of war... Is beginging although problamic is who do I pick the greenskins and vampire top 2 over the empire and dwarves

 

til lizards are released definatly goin dwarves cause cannons and shit also cant whait for this game

 

It definitely looks amazing. I would be totally on board with it if consoles could handle the game.

 

i doubt itll come to console it be nice though

 

Agreed... consoles just don't have the specs to keep up with the requirements of the game.

 

I'll be getting it to support the game. So that they continue to expand. So that I can one day play the lizards.
I doubt I'll be playing it much till then. Unless it's like crack. In which case, I'll be playing the green skins.

As far as I know, Total War has never been on any console. It's not impossible, but the biggest limiting factor has always been memory. And since Warhammer Total War is supposed to be Total War's most ambitious title, I don't think they'll be toning things down for consoles on this one. Even if they did, the game's controls wouldn't transfer very well. It requires more than a few buttons and two joysticks. It's a bit more intricate of a game than Halo Wars and other strategy that made it to console. And those titles still feel clunky.

 

That actually makes me feel better about it. I hate playing games via keyboard.

 

Game controllers are designed for games and the keyboard and mouse really aren't. I mean, they do make mice designed for gaming, but it's not the same as a platform made for gaming.

I do prefer using the keyboard and mouse on tactics and strategy games. Any low skill games that involve ridiculous amounts of controls. Basically any game that I can look away from for several mins, and not die, i prefer the keyboard. It's a different type of game. On the other hand, anything like a racing game, shooting game, adventure game all play way better with a controller. I am thrilled that 3d person MMO RPGs are starting to move to console. In an MMO where I never have to hear the word "macro" in reference to key binding ever again, is the MMO I want to be playing.

 

i can agree with this screw 10 different terms for one function

 

If you want to see the game:



Looks like they really make the game we could want. We can even see the vortex spell (but no one dies unfortunately).

 

I checked this out last night, and I have to say, it looks AMAZING!
I hope there is a method to pause and issue orders though.

 

There always was, so it shouldn't be different, but probably video looked better and more funny without it. I'm intrigued how flying creatures and machines can be destroyed, better have those archers somewhere.

 

So according to Creative Assembkly, all the armies will be featured over the course of the 3 games, either as part of each installment, DLC or FreeLC. I have a feeling the pay dlc might be more towards extra lords and heroes as opposed to armies. It would probably turn of players who would have to buy the game and then purchase dlc just to play their army, when others just need to do one.
Heres a vid:

 

6 months prior to release and they have announced day one dlc. Game is going to be like Rome 2. Pay for game, pay extra for content that should be included.

Scam developers/publishers. Milking fans and players.

Avoiding till gold/master/developers addition comes on sale.
