Total War Warhammer 3 DLC Prices and Player Reactions
The Total War Warhammer 3 DLC prices have left former tabletop Warhammer developer Andy Clark cringing. Clark, who worked on the Warhammer Fantasy Battles game for many years, joins disappointed players in expressing their concern over the high cost of the Warhammer 4 content. While some defend the Total War Warhammer 3 base game as worth the price, others argue that the Warhammer 4 DLCs are overpriced. However, some players suggest that the Warhammer 4 prices are justified given the amount of content and changes in the fantasy strategy game.
“So the Total War: Warhammer 3 DLCs are out,” begins Andy Clark, who worked on the Warhammer Fantasy Battles tabletop game for many years, “and, as a creator who has worked with Games Workshop for a long time, I have to say that the price has me cringing.”
“The simultaneous turns are great, but not enough to justify that price,” a user replies. “I really wish they had just left the campaign alone.”
“I agree,” Clark replies. “I’m a huge fan of the Old World and its factions, but I don’t think I can justify that price for just a few new maps and campaigns.”
Many users highlight the addition of simultaneous turns in co-op campaigns as a positive, with some expressing their preference for certain factions, like Chaos, which are only available in WH3.
“I think the base game is worth it,” another user replies. “The DLCs are just way overpriced.”
“Yeah, I got the deluxe version and I’m still disappointed,” another user replies. “The base game is great, but the DLCs are so overpriced.”
“I heard the entire cost of Warhammer is pretty much the same as a AAA game, but the DLCs are really expensive,” another replies.
“At least it’s not like we have to buy the entire Warhammer universe to play the game,” another replies. “The base game is pretty normal for a AAA game, but the DLCs are really expensive.”
“I’m fine with the DLCs as long as I don’t have to pay extra for the Chaos Warriors DLC,” a user replies.
On the other side, a few users defend the pricing strategy. “It’s a lot but each DLC is essentially a whole new game with a ton of content,” one replies. “It’s comparable to the tabletop game in that sense.”
“The pricing is their choice,” another replies. “I don’t think we can say that it’s overpriced.”
“The problem is that it’s overpriced for a lot of people,” another replies. “I can see why they did it, but it’s a bad move from a sales perspective.”
“Don’t forget that the models are really expensive too,” another replies. “If you’ve ever played and enjoyed the tabletop, you know that you can’t play without the models, which cost a lot of money.”
“I don’t think Games Workshop is cheap,” another replies. “They’re difficult to deal with as a retailer, but I don’t think they’re cheap.”
One reply is a joke about needing a Warhammer costume service.
The Total War Warhammer 3 DLC pricing is a hot topic among players, with some criticizing the size and price of the content packs while others argue that they are justified.
In our Total War Warhammer 3 early review, we found that the Warhammer 4 DLC is “overpriced,” and that the base game is “good but not quite good enough.”
