Sad, but understandable. At least we're getting Cathay reveal tomorrow.


Haha. I remember playing this years ago. It was janky and weird but enormously entertaining. I think I tried to invade the Tomb Kings with an army of orcs, but got stomped.

I like how getting married to a daemoness increases your reputation with the Empire. By Sigmar, no!

I’m also simply glad we’re getting game 3 news tomorrow. We’re still going through a global plague apocalypse, take your time.

I platinum’d game 2 last week, and I’m happy to not have any dangling campaigns to distract me from my Steam backlog. Or doing stuff to improve myself as a person I guess

This is good. We all want Warhams 3 to be good, and a bit of delay is a small price to pay for getting a great game. And getting a big Cathay reveal instead tomorrow certainly lessens the sting.

I don't even think I will have finished all the Warhammer 2 campaigns I want to play by early 2022, so it's actually not that upsetting to me.

Edit: Actually a brief glance through twitter has people generally saying "we don't want another Cyberpunk 2077, take your time!"

Maybe, hopefully, people are beginning to get burnt out by recent major rushed releases and are tempering expectations.

Yeah can't say I'm upset about this. My 1080 poo poo the bed recently so now I'm running everything on a 970. Haven't even tried playing Warham 2 with it. Maybe by the release date I'll actually have a card.

For what it's worth my 960 can handle Warhammer 2 pretty good, not too severe a quality loss.

I was using a 970 up til a few months ago and it ran WH2 just fine

the decision on WH3 makes sense and now I've got time to get some Battle Brothers in

I have a 1070 ti and it's running at 100% for everything now, so I went to look up the prices on graphics cards on newegg. They're all like $1000+ because of the chip shortage and bitcoin miners so I think I'll check back in 6-9 months.

It stinks that the game is getting pushed back but unless the release is in July it's fine.

I don't get this sentiment. Developers delay games because something is wrong. Not because they suddenly decided to spend the time making a better product.

They never gave a specific deadline though so I assume 2021 was just the optimistic projection and they expected a delay.

The sentiment being that they could also just release it broken, instead of pushing it back to fix stuff.

Battle Brothers is such a classic. We have a thread here which is dead these days but is probably the greatest single source of info and analysis on the game. Its my most played modern game by like a country mile lol

Well CA did just that with three kingdoms. They were not happy with the feedback they were getting so they pushed back the release date by a couple months and released a more polished product in the process.

FWIW my 970 runs WH2 fine, there isn't enough vram to run everything at max but it isn't nearly the bottleneck that my processor is (bought the CPU around the same time the 970 released)

I'm not watching a seven minute Jeff Dunham video, but I don't get what there is to be upset about. The game's still going to come out, and if you were looking forward to it later this year, I assume you'll still be looking forward to it then. Unless you're going to die in the next few months, what difference does it make? I guess they could have been more open about this possibility when they cut off communication a couple months ago, since this seemed like a very likely outcome, but oh well. I can't see any sinister reason why CA would deliberately skip a Christmas launch window, so if it's being delayed, I'm sure they have a good reason for it.

The argument in the video is that Games Workshop forced Creative Assembly to delay to game, to coincide with the release of The Old World, which was also delayed into 2022. Which I guess seems plausible

I kinda rather it be delayed so they can iron out all the kinks and give it some more polish and not end up with a TW2 norsca launch scenario that delayed the mortal empire map by half a year.

After going back to WH2 after a few months I hope they rethink quite a few campaign mechanics. I'm thirty something turns in my Gelt campaign and only just unlocked artillery. In theory the game is structured to allow coming back from a loss, but if I had lost the early Mortar I'd just rage quit. And growth is now so slow that losing a major town is utterly ruinous. I gather there was some rebalancing to make you spend more time with the early units, but early units alone are pretty boring. I kind of like the elector count troop mechanism that gives you early access to one unit of high level troops, at least and if I ever start another campaign I'll knock over Wissenland early.

I mean it’s a hazard of making a game based on a license. But it gives them time to polish the game anyway.

The video goes on to argue that this is another example of GW being a lovely company to work with, and that this will be bad for CA financially since they've expanded massively but are now going to be in product drought till release. And that it'll also be grim for the community (which will then also be bad financially for CA) since the content creators are all going to run out of stuff that gets them views and move on to other things

I don't really buy all that, (aside from GW strongarming). I do think more time for bugfixing and polish is likely, but not assured since delayed games don't always actually get any additional budget allocated
