Total War: Warhammer

That's pretty much Sega who are part to blame for some of that DLC model, after all they considered Alien: Isolation's sale figues "weak". If it keeps like this they might as well just execute CA in the next few years.

I whole-heartedly agree, the publisher is also to blame. I wonder how desperate must CA be to make Chaos a DLC faction

And now the Vampire Counts.

Vampire Counts Siege Gameplay.

Hehehe, Sigmar triumphs.

and people are still complaining....

Right now it's just leftover bitching from the Chaos DLC.

and a load of "well *game from years ago* looked amazing in the trainers and gameplay but I didn't like it so this one will suck as well" getting all the upvotes

Well this one has had a ton of hands-on footage, both in battles and on the world map in general.

still not enough for the haters it seems, you know, I wonder if they have a special edition coming out... I may have to get it if they do...

Empire VS Chaos warriors

Chaos looks pretty cool. Wonder if we can get daemons too?

pfft, daemons (blows them apart with Steam Tanks*

Welcome to the Old World.

Good news. After the game is released, Chaos Warriors will be free to download for a week.

Game coming in under a week! So, what will we the first faction you guys played?

Empire. After that I'll probably try Vampire Counts, maybe Orks after. I'm not sure about dwarves, personally, though I may start a game for kicks.

Just saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFox42mmuu8

I'll probably put off getting it for a week or two, got a con in just over a week... and I never have enough money...

The only thing keeping me leery about the Dorf is lack of Calvary. I guess it's thematic to be ponderous and sure-footed, but I plays Total War for the cinematic feel, too.

You will get the exciting cinematic feeling of exploding people back into the Stone Age.

Considering that Orks are already at the Bronze Age.

Well, 2/4 aren't bad. I might go with the Dorf for my first faction, after all.

On that note, first review is up.

And not one mention of crippling bugs! Hooray!

Anyway I pre-ordered this via Steam yesterday. After a mild panic in which I thought I'd heard wrong and the game was not available on Mac computers, I can't wait for next week :D
