Warhammer Total War: Warhammer III

[Lacrymas]

Pharaoh isn't bad for a single playthrough or maybe two max, then you've seen all it has to offer because factions are basically copy-pasted. Oh, and battles are just bad from the very beginning.

Went to reddit to see what's going on with Legend and Volund. There I found this funny exchange in this post:

Don't be afraid. We don't bite.

The whining about wokeness is in fact very annoying and boring. This guy was quite right. Especially as there are so many other things in games that get criticized for that that are way more legitimate as far as things to complain about.

How is the whining constant? The only game I've seen being whined about because of wokeness recently is Dragon Age 4 and it's not even out yet.

It's constant because the Codex doesn't like games made less than two decades ago.

The funeral pyre of Pharoah needs some scapegoats to burn with it.

he made a mean video, so i guess they had to get rid of him

 

[Sunri]

Weird dislike ratio is Reddit plebs targeting him?

I think it was just some kind of fuckery with jewtube. The archive has a normal number of dislikes (4).

Purported CA devs admitting they've been reskinning assets to swindle money was funny:

 

[Fedora Master]

DAMAGE CONTROL
SHUT IT DOWN

I feel really vindicated for pirating all their DLC.

 

[Sarathiour]

The subscription list on the left side look cursed.

This whole guy is cursed by being an insufferable schmuck

 

[fizzelopeguss]

That 40 percent will be the entire shooter/console team being nuked.

Was going to post this. CA is now farming jester awards in the Steam forums.

The right to discuss is a privilege—it is not an entitlement you earn by playing the game—and in our official spaces, we will prioritize the ability of those who demonstrate that they can converse and disagree thoughtfully, constructively, and inclusively over those who aim to disrupt, derail, and diminish those contributions.

 

[Fedora Master]

Their Steam forums were/are a cesspool of ESL people babbling nonsense and clown farmers, always has been, but NOW it's a problem. Suuuure.

Already backpedalling

In acknowledgement of the feedback and response we've had from members of the community here, and over on the Pharaoh forums where this post was mirrored, I've issued a clarification on a new thread, and to avoid confusing the topic have locked this thread to ensure that the conversation continues in response to the latest information.

You can read that post here, and continue this conversation on this new thread:

For introducing new frustrations to you all with our post today I apologise, and we’ll return to you in the coming weeks with updated guidance, including clearer examples of good and bad actions that can prompt interventions from our moderation team.

What about buying it?

Their entire marketing team and management needs scraping to the bone.

If they had half a brain, they'd release their bolloxed codebase to the community. The autists there will comb through it and fix all their shit for free.

There lies the problem.

I don't understand what is going on at Clown Assembly. Who makes these statements? Who in their right mind utters the sentence "the right to discuss is a privilege"? What a shitshow.

Here's what I think is happening. From CA's dumb perspective, they shat out another run-of-the-mill DLC that is horrendously overpriced (and they knew this from the beginning) and now people are super mad for no reason. "But we've arrogantly raised the price before and haven't gotten this backlash!" cry the pumpkin-heads at CA, but lo! and behold they don't suspect that Total Warhammer has been shit from the start and people are just now starting to realize it because they were given a reason to finally critically engage with what they've been consuming. Good luck with that, CA.

What I don't understand is why companies with professional PR/marketing/community teams still fall face-first into these kind of things.

It's almost like the people that work in those departments have no idea what they're doing, are underpaid liberal arts majors, and generally regarded as useless.

 

[Lacrymas]

You'd think people who have studied whatever kind of art form would be more graceful.

Imagine being so useless that you fail to normally communicate with kids and autists about video games. Literally all you need to do to be considered an EXCELLENT community manager by the community is to be familiar with the game (ie. play it), have a bit of a of thick skin so that you can handle banter and shitposting, and have some semblance of a spine (oh no, is that where the problem lies?). You could probably just hang a recruitment poster on the forums, saying you're hiring from among the fans, and then just pick from the litter of applications.
