Total War Hammer

[Leesin]

Performance opinions from you guys? a lot of the negative reviews/opinions from people have been performance based, some complaining the game is damn laggy considering they have decent rigs and others stating the game doesn't even start up, or takes a stupid amount of time to load. I have a fairly decent rig, I7-4790k @ 4.7ghz + GTX980, but I am running Windows 7 still so I don't have the luxury of DX12 and a lot of people with NVIDIA cards complained about issues, kind of wondering if I am going to regret buying this if/when I do. I can get Windows 10 when I can be bothered to do all that shit I guess. Probably wont be as big of an issue in months to come but still trying to decide if I want to drop money on this now or somewhere down the road lol.

The initial start up took quite a while but that was just that.
Loading times seem on par with other Total War games, initial performance is certainly better, round times are quick tho I haven't been far into the campaign, graphics performance is good with everything on High and few Ultra settings.
Performs better for me than Attila ever did...

No regrets here.

AMD R9 270 2GB + your CPU

Edit: DX 12 comes later in form of a patch anyway FYI

So... worth getting at full price? Or should I wait a bit for the first 33% off sale? I'm kinda busy with the witcher 3 right now anyway.

Always worth sale.

Decided to buy it, the only one issue I had was the UI flickering, I turned off v-sync and it stopped, I imagine they will fix that fairly quickly though. None of the load times have been noticeably long for me at all, in fact they're pretty damn fast. Dabbled with Orcs and Empire for a few battles each just to have a look at the game, it does feel pretty good so far and there already seems like a nice variety of units even for early game. Can't really give an indepth detailed opinion/review myself yet as I haven't played much, but what I can say is that this runs damn well for me and considering Total Wars history of horrible unstable releases I am fairly pleased with this one.

I imagine there are a bunch of people, i.e the ones with less than an hour play time, giving bad reviews on Steam, because they ARE suffering issues where they can't play the game, but it seems like these issues are more system specific than just game specific, unlike older releases where the game was just broken and EVERYONE suffered.

Oh man, i will be so late for work today...

Game froze on the 3rd battle the first time i started it. Closed down, started it again, then ended up playing it non-stop till 4 in the morning... Jesus...

Performance is great, playing on ultra, with ultra unit sizes, game only got a bit slower in one huge battle, where it was one full stack of my units, 2 stacks of allied imperial troops vs 4 greenskin stacks (that i won gloriously). Loading times are super short.

Game itself... well, i can see why review sites would hail it as the best Total War game so far... It's just so damn fun

Playing dorf with lots of shooty(quarrelers so far). 'Tis kinda fun.

Imo they streamlined it massively in the right areas.
I like it a lot, hard contender for personal 1st place with Medieval Kingdoms :3

Torn between my dwarven and vampire campaign. Made the mistake of starting one each and they both are cool D: Which to play?!

Playing campaign as chaos 
This game definitely needs some mercenary and specially support unit system for chaos as in rome 2 for romans.
Some fanatics with crossbows or guns will be nice + some cannon breakfast in form of beastmen or locals who submitted to power of true gods.
Cos chaos is almost no ranged only marauder horsemen with javs or T-axes.
This leads to orkiest playstyle which is awful shame for greenskins.
Damn CA where are marauders with jav and T-axes without mounts?
Some Norsca hunters with bows will be also helpful.

But overall game is playable unlike early Rome 2 and no CTD so far

I was expecting this game to be such a dissapointment that I am incredibly surprised at how GOOD it is.

No crashes for me whatsoever, no issues. Just... fun?
