Total War: Warhammer is the fastest-selling Total War game ever


http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...er-is-the-fastest-selling-total-war-game-ever

Great to hear. The game is quite good now and could be just an ever-game after expansions and DLC.

 

[Phawx]

On EVGAs site when it's back up online lol.
Some people managed to get pre-orders through and I pre-ordered one here in Germany as well (769€, which is also 20€ below the FE price).

Overclockers UK also: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/evga...s-graphics-card-08g-p4-6286-kr-gx-300-ea.html

Oh yea, EVGA is getting slammed right now. Nice of them to offer preorders, hope you get your FTW swiftly.

 

[Jimrpg]

Not really. EVGAs FTW is 20 bucks cheaper than the FE, has a factory OC, 2x8pin power connectors and 10+2 phases so it should leave plenty of headroom for OC. Not to mention the custom cooling solution (which has yet to proof its capability but there's no way it's not leaps and bounds beyond the FE blower).
Basically you get all that for a 80$ markup on the 599$ MSRP. Don't think that's a bad deal at all judging from previous models.

The SC model is 10$ over the 599$ MSRP, also has custom cooling + slight OC (ref board as usual).

What's 10+2 phases?

The SC and FTW fans look pretty similar to me, any ideas how much better the FTW will perform?

The SC looks like it has 5+1 phases?

 

[dex3108]

Nah it really looks like that i will end up buying 970. Oh well that is what you get when you live in small and "poor" country like mine

 

[AHA-Lambda]

oh cool I got 30% off the new Sherlock game

I'm guessing it's cos I own the previous one?

 

[Annubis]

Feeling kinda down.

Can someone recommend me games that are cheerful and will make me feel better?
It would be nice if it's something I already own too

Thanks

The SC uses the same PCB as the Founders Edition from what I know, I haven't spent too much time looking at the SC though.

The power phases handle power delivery, so the more phases are present, the better the power demand will be handled (10 for GPU, 2 for VRAM in the FTW case). It's mostly relevant to people who are into overclocking which the FTW is generally geared to, I'd assume.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or add extra input.

 

[Momentary]

$599 was a damn lie. I knew that was going to happen since day one. I better get ready for that $1000 1080Ti FTW x 2.

Most of the sales were probably on console for sure.

Yo SteamGAF, quick dilemma here. I have an i5 4430 at 3ghz. I can get an i7 4790k for less than 300€. Should I upgrade ? I have a R9 290. Or would these 300€ be better used for a future GPU upgrade ?

How much could you still get for your i5? I'd say the upgrade is worth 50€ max and that's assuming you'll overclock, better invest in something else.

Maybe 100, 150€ at best. But yeah, you're right. Thinking of it, for this price, I could surely get a CPU+mobo+ram combo when I'll want to upgrade later.

CPU's are rarely a problem to be honest.

As newer games come out and make use of DX12/Vulkan, fast single threaded performance will be less of an issue.

Considering you already have a R9 290, I'd say just save money for a newer GPU. I'm waiting on HBM2.

I usually stick to Assault Android Cactus or Downwell when I'm sad and need something to cheer me up, not sure you own either but the latter is ridiculously cheap so you might as well grab it

Spoiler

but really video games are garbage go watch Toradora

 

[Tizoc]

I prefer warhammer 40k setting more tbh
Would def grab total war w40k tho

Thinking more about it personally I'd do it if the upgrade would stay below 100€, the 4790K seems to be the last and fastest CPU for that socket which usually means it'll keep its value better. Considering that, getting Hyper Threading, 4.5 boost instead of 3.2 and overclock (you'll need a good cooler, also the power draw is higher anyway) could be worth a few bucks. At least right now, I'm hoping AMD will finally deliver this year and force Intel to release real 8-cores for the mainstream.

Good for the whole family.

PS4 just prints money, Creative Assembly should thank Sony

 

[Hektor]

So far, "content" is on a good run to make it as 2016's best unword that i never want to hear again.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I really hope that No Mans Sky has enough content.

 

[NingenJanai]

I really hope that No Mans Sky has enough content.

10 plant kinds and 10 animal kinds with 50 different textures each.

 

[Ludens]

I really hope that No Mans Sky has enough content.

I think the content will be overwhelming, you should be worried about the variety of it.

 

[TheVoidDragon]

I really hope that No Mans Sky has enough content.

I'm not worried about the depth/variety of the content it has. There certainly seem to be a lot of actual game mechanics, but i don't think what they've shown has much to it so far.

 

[Phawx]

10 plant kinds and 10 animal kinds with 50 different textures each.

And those textures can be palette swapped with 1,000 different color variations.

There are over 7 quidzillion unique living organisms in NMS. Though they all look roughly the same.

 

[Jadax]

I'd be more worried about what the whole purpose of the game will be once you get past the 'Oh Wow' factor - which will last an hour tops.

No Man's Sky will take 5 Billion years to fully explore.

 

[Sarcasm]

No Man's Sky will take 5 Billion years to fully explore.

I bought the game (cause cheap here) + super hyped, but honestly just cause a game takes X years to explore =/= content.

If this is mean let me know but I just don't see how that is related to each other.

 

[TheVoidDragon]

No Man's Sky will take 5 Billion years to fully explore.

That doesn't mean there's lots of actual meaningful content, though. From what they've shown the more likely reason is because the game has been needlessly filled with repetitive content that doesn't add anything substantial to the game and just lets them say it has lots of stuff. Elite: Dangerous did the same thing. "We've got billions of systems!"...and then they end up being nearly identical and after a few of them it becomes very repetitive with no real incentive to keep exploring.

It's a Space game so i'm still interested in it, but i really hope there's more to it than that.

Its the better one of the two releases.

I was doing the bundlestars survey and saw this:

GOG finally recognized for what it is, a dirty, nasty DRM.

 

[morningbus]

It's a shame GOG locks its content behind an account wall.

Pirates continue to get the better experience, being able to download their games without needing a special account.

What the fuck is that question.

What the fuck is that question.

I think it's just poorly worded and Bundle Stars is simply trying to get a sense as to whether or not offering games that register on services other than Steam would be worthwhile.

Aren't they are already doing so, with Uplay titles?
Your explanation is valid though, they want to know what exactly their customers want.

Please don't select Origin and/or Uplay

This looks like a good bundle for me if the beat em ups are good. Anyone play Dusty or Devil's Dare?

Amihailu in Dreamland on Greenlight

My good friend NoyemiK is trying to get her game Amihailu in Dreamland on Steam via Greenlight. Please take a look: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=691465752

She also is a nickler for details, she made the music with an old SNES soundboard, graphical style with the limitations of back then, and coded most of it herself. I liked what I played of it in the past, and want to pass it along.

Yikes, Battleborn already 45% off in a sale. Didn't that just come out this month? Disaster.
