One thing to consider when purchasing, as I was thinking of using on Game Pass. I have seen people mention that at some point version 3 will hook up with your version 2 content and people seem to indicate you would need to have everything on the same platform. My previous stuff is all on Steam, which implies I wouldn't be able to use it. Just something to research and consider (if true) on where you purchase, if you decide to buy the game.

Played a few hours. It's ok. Some of the menus were unnecessarily changed, causing confusion. Many were the same, aiding in continuity from II to III. A few new concepts, poorly explained, but simple enough to overcome. My biggest problem is that the graphics are noticeably "softer" and less crisp than in II. Using the same settings as I have in II, I have not seen the big frame rate hit that some folks have reported in III, but I am playing at 1980x1200. Looks like it will be a solid game with the usual teething problems. I have not played any city battles, which some have complained about.

TW Warhammer III is going to have to wait a bit. I want to finish an awesome game of Shadow Empire. I just started deploying heavy tanks with poly armor and beam weapons. AND I am researching fusion. I can't walk from that yet.

I am a little confused. It's already the third entry since 2016? Does it make sense? Must be very successful.

Yep, third version....some say it's their most successful series. Kind of cool how it will hook into the other older versions so you can use those units and such at some point in the future, assuming you bought all the versions from the same place. Haven't had much time to play yet....certainly enjoy the historical titles more myself, but kind of a nice diversion from the normal for me.

I only have 60 hours invested in the Warhammer games...with 1000s in the older historical titles. I dithered around with Warhammer III a little last night. I will try a campaign soon, not sure which faction...trying to narrow it down to the most bizarre, demonic one. After a while the whole demons/blood/horror thing gets to be a little over the top for me.

I have over 1000 hours in Warhammer 2. Probably more than that in MTW2 and Rome 1 (pre-steam). I probably spent more time than that on SSI and Matrix titles. Retirement...what can I say? I think Shadow Empire may become the King of them all. As far as the Warhammer titles go, the battles are just too much fun. Watching a dragon smash-land in a formation of swordsman is just great. I just wish the mechanics were up to the level they set in MTW2 with regard to formation control, etc.
