Oh don’t worry, there’s going to be more.

A lot of companies are working on live service games in hope of being the next overwatch/destiny.

Some even have multiple (like Sony) in the hope that even one of them takes off.

We’re riding this wave over in the Total War community too. Broken game, weak and overpriced DLC.

We kicked off (and then all their other games managed to flop at once, so they came crawling back) and now we’ve got a notable amount more effort into the DLC coming at the end of the month, as well as price cuts, refunds and redoing of the bad DLC.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but I’m seeing positive movements in general on legacy resting-on-laurels games.

There were some great levels.

The abandoned ice prison was great.

And uhhhh… well no other ones are currently in my memory. That can’t be a bad sign, can it?

Man that zero-g casino could have been so cool. But it was just… nothing-y.

I also don’t want to be marketed at. If it’s good I’ll find out organically.

And I don’t want to find out about it at/before release-time. Because then I’ll want to buy it on release.

That’s the time the game is most buggy and least optimised (maybe also unbalanced too).

Complaining it didn’t sell well enough on release is some real crybaby stuff as well.

“It didn’t go exactly the best way I wanted it to go 😭😭”

Have you tried any Warhammer fantasy stuff (it’s not the sci-fi “40k” setting).

Vermintide is supposed to be really good!

It’s not specifically action but Total War Warhammer games are amazing.

I’ve got a lot of hours in them and I’m not usually one for this kind of strategy game.

There’s two types of gameplay in it.

First is a Civilisation-style empire management tool and army-builder.

Second is the live action battle gameplay, where you’re mashing thousands of troops and monsters against one another. That’s the half of the game that’s fast-paced and bloody as hell.

PR issues won’t affect the gameplay.

It’s worth a shot, I reckon.

Because if you like it, you’ll get more for your money than any other game.

But yeah if you’re unsure on game 3, game 2 is still exceptional.
