>trategy game Total War: Warhammer, which is still not called Total Warhammer, is the fastest-selling Total War game ever.
>It sold over half a million copies in the first few days on sale, developer Creative Assembly said.
>That sales success has resulted in the game regularly topping 100,000 concurrent players on Steam, the developer added.
Thank you, based denuvo!
>>339072578
Maybe cause it's the first good wh in a long time?
I wonder what devs will blame when they can't put bad sales on piracy.
>Oy vey! It must be the gamers!
Daily reminder that pirates buy more games than non-pirates and piracy is essential for a healthy industry
>>339072864
So you're saying...pirates are necessary for games to sell well?
Oh, it has Denuvo? That's too bad, it was the first Total War game I was interested in trying out.
Guess I never will.
good. i hope they make a buttload of dosh and make a sci fi game that looks as good alien isolation did.
>>339072952
Pirates are necessary for good games, as opposed to simply hyped games, to sell well.
>>339073019
Never is an awfully long time
>>339073174
Well after the 70th-90th year it becomes automatic.
>tfw slaughtering chaos while pirates complain about denuvo
>>339073113
Pretty much. Developers are forced to create games good enough that the pirate feels compelled to buy them.
>>339072578
what does denuvo have to do with a game's success? if its good people will buy it, if its bad people with avoid it denuvo or not
>best selling game in franchise
>butthurt third world ass babies saying their poverty piracy is necessary for the industry

>>339072578
I don't like how they have basically butchered all the diplomacy and such.
Back to Shogun 2.
>>339072864
That's due to word-of-mouth, which companies can not only generate artificially but control to maintain a positive effect. If pirates only ever said good things about the games they pirated, most publishers probably wouldn't care.
>>339073817
pirate here
I'm not buying it
the game looks cool, but I'm not really hard pressed to spend money on videogames
So I might pick it up on sale like I normally do, or just forget about the game entirely in a month or two.

What do you mean by that? What have they changed?
>>339072578
Will counter balance for Far Cry Primal that sold 1/5th of Far Cry 4.

>>339074658
There's a lot of missing settings from previous games.
It's a disgrace, but then again, Total War, and the entire RTS genre has been dead for a while.
ITT: 3 guys laugh at poorfags and praise denuvo for almost literally no reason
Pirates:Don't give a shit
Poorfags:weren't going to try it out or buy anyways
Denuvofags:10/10 DENUVO WINZ AGAIN POORATEFAGS xDDDD
In every single thread I have seen the same falseflagging "angry pirates" when you fucks keep screaming about poorcucks and how mad they must be when nobody gives a shit
I just want you to know we've caught onto your bullshit

WHFB universe has gone through a reset in the story. All old factions and lore is gone.
>>339074536
http://natfka.blogspot.com/2015/01/major-changes-to-warhammer-fantasy-in.html
Basically, instead of continuing old Warhammer, they're opting to call it Age of Sigmar and changing almost all of the lore. I think Total WarHammer (and possibly Vermintide) is supposed to be the last tie-in for that universe and brand.
>>339072578
Ok Games Workshop, reverse the End Times now. People want classic Fantasy back.

Fucking Denuvo, always manages to fuck it all up.
>>339075162
Eww. I obviously haven't paid attention for quite a while but it's pretty sad seeing it go that way. AoS looks pretty shit to me right now.
>>339075541
It looks shit to everyone.
why do people hate us? we just want to play games for free and talk about it from experience. word of mouth is good advertisement for games
>>339074421
Shogun 2 had working diplomacy? I haven't played any TW games since Medieval 2.
>>339075746
What's up with these posts of Denuvucuckies falseflagging so they can reply to themselves.
Hey, quick question, then you can go back to your denuvo memes. I never played rts games seriously, but now i want to get into them. What's a good title to start? I loved turn based strategy with civilization. Can you recommend a good rts game? For pc please
I bet there's way more people who are gonna simply ignore it now than those who are going to buy it only because they can't pirate. Whatever.
>>339075880
If you like turn based ones, get the Complete Edition of XCOM, you'll probably find it for $10 on G2A.
Avoid XCOM 2 because it has a lot of bugs and performance issues.

Nice. Thanks.
I won't buy it simply because it has Denuvo, and my options are:
Shred my SSD
Put it on my slow backup HD
Assrape my CPU
I choose none. Congratulations CA on keeping me from buying a game I want to.
>>339076398
are you fucking retarded? why do you think they have so many accounts? inbred russians using stolen credit cards buying aaa games so you can family share.
>>339076609

If they even wanted to steal your pathetic account what for ?
You are pathetic and beyond underage leave and never come post here again. Denuvo literally btfo by a simple bypass. The only inbred is you paying 60$ for drm.
what is the campaign like in this game?
story? cutscenes?

They will blame Steam refunds system.
Some indie shitters already started paving the way
>>339075880
If you want to get into rts i'll say vanilla age of empires 2 will be a good start, the first campaign of the game is a long tutorial that holds your hand in every step.
I would also recommend Starcraft.
>>339072578
500k is nothing, especially with the refund system.
>>339076019
>russian website
>>339072578
it's my favorite total war tbph
>>339072578
its the fastest selling becuase people are FAR more interested in giant orc and dwarf and undead armies than they are realistic ones.
Realistic war settings are great for nerds that build model trains, but fantasy setting can get the attention of almost any gamer.
>>339077018
if it does it is so slight that it's not even worth mentioning, at least in my experience. I have been unable to find any solid evidence of the supposed ssd destruction or bottlenecking of any kind that is directly linked with denuvo, it's all just conjecture.
I'd rather games not have DRM and i'm sure it was GW that pushed for it but these reasons for hating denuvo are fucking stupid.
>>339076553
57.5 average on a fucking GTX 1080
That means it most probably drops under 45 or even 40
TWfags/Denuvofags will defend this.
>>339075746
What word of mouth? You don't have friends to shill to.
>>339072578
And what do this has to do anything with what you are shilling for? it's not like people were not wishing for a warhammer/totalwar game since forever you piece of shit.
>post yfw Denuvo does a driveby on piratescum
>>339076851
pirating is wrong despite whatever shit reason you fags gave it
now steam have refund button so you can try it and spread the news
now devs make shit game, yes, but you need other system to ensure they care more about customer, not by lel their game must be good so pirates will actually buy them. Well guess what no they don't, why the fuck must they pay if it's free
Now it only 2 option, pay and try it, love it then keep it, or don't fucking play it
>>339078245
Or step up and crack it.
>>339073301
game looks like shit
and they attack TW3 for the graphics

>pirates buy more games than non-pirates
What a fucking surprise when 96,38% of consumers pirate something once in a while.
>Warhammer
>Popular devs and series
>It was definitely Denuvo
being honest and serious, how much will it take for a crack of the game?
>>339081435
a year
>>339077240
>2 hours to refund
Are you funning me son?
10 hours is barely enough to get a feel for a TW game, if you dont immediately get huge performance issues you wont refund faget
>>339073467
More that pirates like them, and whether or not they buy the games themselves, often spread word to others who may buy the game.
>>339081435
Completely depends on how much of a crap the crackers give about the game
