    Assuming this isn't story driven like Dark Omen/Shadow of the Horned Rat then?

    There's quest lines unique to each playable lord which grant you cool stuff and involve winning staged battles, but other than that it's about as story driven as other total war games.

    I played Warhammer way back when in the 80s before there were any named characters and the lore was pretty basic - lots of fun but I think I preferred painting the miniatures just as much as the actual games I had with them.

    When the first Shogun came out I'd not played Warhammer for 10 years, but the large scale battles sratched the same itch so to speak. I've sunk many hours into all of the Total War games since then, and despite some of the less than stellar game launches (Empire and RTW2) and duff AI, they've been my favourite single player PC game.

    So yeah, I'm pretty happy at the moment with the prospect of getting Warhammer and Total War in one package, despite most of the Warhammer stuff being only partially recognisable from my memories from 30 years ago - mind you, that could be said about most things that happened 30 years ago unfortunately. I remember when all this was (battle)fields...

    Playable from 8am BST on that day.

    Here’s what that time means for regions outside the UK.

    West Coast US: Midnight, 24 May (as soon as the clock ticks over from 23 May).
    East Coast US: 3am, 24 May.
    Japan: 4pm, 24 May.
    Australia: 5pm, 24 May.
    For most of Europe, it’ll be 9am.

    No VPN workaround :(

    Guess I'll be playing Attila tonight

    I really don't understand why Digital games don't unlock at midnight in each time zone...
  • Deleted user 23 May 2016 11:56:57

  • Deleted user 23 May 2016 12:16:55

    @urban Just interested but where did you get the 8am BST number? I did look last night and most were saying it's unlock at 5pm BST...

    @Tabasco http://www.pcinvasion.com/total-war-warhammer-global-release-times They state a company posting on FB as being 8am (can't see it myself on that FB mind)

    Devs in the UK, release is likely to be 9am so that problems can be found and addressed during their working day. That's just a fairly convincing guess though

    Right well it looks like its open now. I had preloaded last night but it seems to be d/l again. Looks like I'll be in in less than 10 minutes or so \o/

    Yeah that's it decrypting, opened for me too. I don't quite understand how it can only be 20GB? Seems a bit small to me?

    20? Mines only 9.. :-(
    And it's crashing on the initial title screen. Oh well, just verifying game integrity

    Mine downloaded as 9 but check the install directory, it's 20 something.

    Damn it, I've got plans for this evening so those filthy green skins will be polluting our sacred dwarfen lands for a little bit longer.

    I tend to play total war as though I have a Book of Grudges anyway so the dwarfs seem a good fit
  • Deleted user 24 May 2016 09:47:16
    wait... people are not jumping straight into playing as green skins in this?

    I really don't know who I'm playing as yet, no doubt I'll spend the first 20 minutes reading all of the bio's and hero perks, perfect dinner cooking times.

    Don't send Belthazar Gelt in to combat, it only ends in restarting your campaign

    Performance wasn't great for me from my brief go this morning.

    It defaulted to high but my framerate was really shonky in the first battle.

    No Nvidia drivers for this yet though so hopefully that'll help
