    right now I can pay 20 dollars for Warhammer Total War III, a game that could scarcely even be imagined in 1998. that's the equivalent of 10 dollars in 1998 prices, which is what I would try to scrounge together for a copy of PC Gamer so I could play one janky level of Myth on the demo disc

    Discussing games with a friend, why I keep going back to FALLOUT 4; I finally clarified that my ideal game is "THE SIMS with occasional firefights" and that's a limited marketplace. STATE OF DECAY 2, a bit. I'd take a TOTAL WAR with base management but a smaller -- oh shit it's CULT OF THE LAMB.

    Get this game on the current December sale - 75% off for 12.5 dollars. For future readers, get this game at max 20 dollars and only if you like the races. You will also get Total War Warhammer 3 big campaign map FREE with this purchase. This game is not worth more than 20 dollars. Only DLC that is rated Very Positive and above is worth getting at a max of 7 dollars. It is not worth getting anything for more unless you are truly in love with the complete package (like I was for chaos…

You have 4 types of agents you must apply somewhere depending on their skills, you must take care of politics, assign lords to political ladder, and remember to do other million things. And them AI come and wipe your city because you must choose build walls or stables, and you needed stables. And yes, they…

    All total war games are not playable without A LOT of mods. The AI just cheats and attacks you when you even start to send your army off to conquer anything. To win battles against the AI, it replenishes its armies in 1-2 turns and their stats in battles are just higher than yours. This just makes it so you have to know how each unit does vs each unit. It becomes a "have you played this game long enough to know all the match ups to win" check. Feels terrible. Then you need to buy each to get…

    I'd give the game a positive review without question, as soon as the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DLC bug is fixed... Yesterday I happily led an Orc WAAAGH krumpin' dwarf ass, today the game complains it can't load my saves because missing all the DLCs. Reinstalled the game, the issue persists. Checked the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DLCs in the shop, they are marked as already owned. Checked game integrity (or whatever that feature is for), looks fine. Out of ideas.

    For some weird reason I keep coming back to this first version of Warhammer Total War. Lacks all the quality of life improvements that are now available in the current version of Total War Warhammer III, but getting some achievements done, the UI golden colorscheme and some shaders/textures that just seem much more realistic than the following chapters of the game, just makes this version so much more compelling for me to play. It just overall "feels" more grimdark and challenging to me…

    Total War: WARHAMMER is the first game in the series. Released in 2016, announced with a fantastic trailer and felt like a dream come true. After some time Chaos, one of the main races was behind a paywall. The outrage was a spectacle. And nothing happened. Everyone bought the game, and everyone still had fun. The good. The game is excellent at capturing the brutal, high-fantasy magic of this universe with a grit and grounded atmosphere that its flashier sequels traded away. Where the later…
