owsf2000Still? Really? Enjoy.
When you name your game "Total War WARHAMMER - Chaos Warriors" then only give the Chaos Warrior faction (1/5 of the game as far as chooseable factions are concerned iirc) freely to pre-order individuals - the rest of the peons must buy it as DLC. You know there's something wrong. It's nice to see Joe's recommendation to downvote the game's trailer has some traction. over 27000 downvotes in 2-3 days. (there was only 1-2 when he did his initial video)
Remember, this is a PREORDER. That means that material is GOING TO BE DONE if it isn't already done on launch day. That and they're obviously going to be in the game from the get go with a name like that. As such, they've definitely decided to hack that content out to encourage people to preorder it.
(Which to me, I find when large guts to the game are made for preorder bonuses like this, it shows that the devs themselves don't think they've built a solid game. That it's going to be a flop. Why else would you need to try to secure as many preorders as possible? :P But that's just my opinion.)
Sure, they'll make their excuses for why it's not in the main game. But I'm afraid I wouldn't believe any other reason than to "drive sales by holding back a (apparently big, central) part of the game. I can't even believe the usual "oh it just won't be done in time." excuse publishers love to use since the faction is going to need to be in the game - they're the only faction apparently important/special enough to be in the name of the game. You know they'll be in it and it ain't that hard to make sure they're a playable faction if the units/etc are going to be in there anyway.

Date: 2015-10-27 11:20 pm (UTC)With that said, though, this is just Cat (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/528389.html)woman (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/529359.html) all over again. Nothing new, really. At this point, honestly, the only really surprising thing about it for me is that they're even bothering to make it "free" to pre-orderers at all, rather than simply forcing everyone to cough up for the DLC, like they did later (after the Catwoman shit) with the even worse Mass Effect 3 (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/562339.html) Day One Disc Locked Content bullshit (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/563841.html).
