The DLC policies of Sega and CA are atrocious, the engine is still chocking, it's uglier than the first one, the content for the price you are paying and so called "unique legendary lords with unique mechanics" is wishful thinking at best.
But.
More than 2 players coop and simultaneous turn? Holy shit I and my small cell of nerds have been asking for that for years and boy are we having a blast, being able to gift specific units to anyone in your battle is also very cool, the wife love to screw around with the big ass bear while I hammer and anvil yet another Orc invasion.
I had a similar feeling about Three Kingdoms. I loved the changes they made to diplomacy and "spear vs. cavalry" balance being done in a very novel but genius way that I wish they copied. And I did like that they gave options where you could either play with the "Romance" mode where it is over-the-top "Hyper-General going Dynasty Warriors on the enemy" or you could play "Historical" mode which made it more traditional.
But then every DLC seemed to causes some issue with the game, the DLC fell flat on its face compared to the base game, and CA said "Oops. We are killing the game now and stopping support. Lol, Lmao."
It is amazing to me how far they have fallen since even just a few years ago.
Seconded. Like, WH3 is such a step back in so many ways over WH2 (let alone my favorite Shogun 2) that almost anyone could probably write an essay on it.
But its the first one that doesn't feel like a single player game with poorly tacked on multiplayer. Its finally able to be played with your bros in a manner that feels downright fun, which means its almost more fun than any other based on just coop power alone.
Total War Warhammer 3 is in a weird place for me.

Weird, very weird.
