Humble Choice

Warhammer Total War 3 was on my watch list, but the Steam reviews aren't good. How does it compare to the 2nd?

Honestly, I have the trilogy and I just play everything in TW3 now. I'm not a huge fan of the armies in it, but I can play the stuff I have in the rest of the series.
 
Yeah, it's an unusual game in that regard.

Rather than being sequels of each other, 1+2+3 build on each other and you can use all of the DLCs on one massive map.

Personally, I enjoyed WH2, and ended up buying WH1 so that I could stack them together and use the massive map. But at the same time I found it was getting increasingly impenetrable for a casual player (I would constantly get surprised by enemy lords that I had no knowledge of, and looking online the long-time players knew what each lord, spell, magic, troops would bring etc and how to counter them) and the sheer quantity of DLC involved was monstrous. For what it's worth, I just had a look and I've bought 2 DLCs for WH2. To buy the remaining WH1, 2 and 3 DLCs would cost £257.

I thought it might be fun to play the Skaven, and saw a couple of online guides, but then discovered that unless I bought some DLC I'd actually be locked out of all of the fun units. I then fancied trying out the Tomb Kings, but I think that was impossible without buying DLC.

So I stopped playing a while ago, and after WH3 got bad feedback initially I decided against getting back into it.

It is certainly a fun game, but I think it's really difficult to just dip your toe into.

And I guess I always have the nagging feeling that it has hurt the historical releases, but that's going wildly off topic.

I'd maybe play the 'Like a Dragon' one at some point, although I have several entries to that series that I haven't played on my back-list.
Nine Sols and SoR4 (mainly for nostalgic reasons) I'd maybe play on my AntDeck at some point... mostly though I really need to skip a few of these in favour of other subscriptions (especially as I accidentally renewed my D+ sub this month, after almost 2yr of claiming it for free)

I have nearly 2k games between Steam/Epic/GOG that I've barely played any of :D

Nothing really appeals to me.

I’ve bounced hard off Yakuza. The only one that appeals to me is Nine Sols and I can probably get it in a week or two on loaded for like £1

Tbh if I hadn't done an annual sub I doubt I would get it most months

As bundles go...

Nine Sols, The Man Who Erased His Name and Streets 4.

I mean that is cracking.

And I have not even looked at the others yet (already got Streets 4).
 
Bloody hell mate :cry:

I know.... tbf though probably around 7-800 of those are games I've claimed free from either EGS or Prime Gaming. A lot of the rest are spare keys from humble bundles/choice where each bundle had at least one game that I wanted, and 2k was a total guess, I'd need to go through several years of unclaimed keys to get a more accurate number :D

(Yes, I have a digital hoarding problem)
