Is Blood and Burning worth it?

**Lucem Mundum** · March 11, 2016, 11:28 AM

As of now I have all of Attila's DLCs except for Blood and Burning. I couldn't find a proper review of the DLC, since most people say "it should have been free", or whine about the price. So since it's on discount now (0.80 something cents on Steam) should I get it? does it cause any frame rate drops, or lags?

as far as I know it cost you FPS

I don't think it's that big of a graphical hit, but I can tell you why I think they left it out.

Sure they could have put it in for free, but I think that they want people to buy it so that everyone starts off without it being all bloody and whatever, incase if young kids want to play it and their parents are paying.

That way the parents can just simply NOT buy the pack if they want to censor their kids from such things.

Personally, I get the dilemma.. but when it comes to DLC, I wish they'd just sell us an "all inclusive" pack that had Everything in it, for like $120 and just be done with it

Buy it right now. Atm there is SEGA Sale on steam. With the discount it obviously wort it.

I recently installed a mod that upgrades the blood. Mates from TWC advised me the one called "purple rivers", if I am not mistaking. It is cool actually.

But did any of you notice lags, or frame drops when zooming in battles?

Nope, the drop is really minute. So if the game runs without any lags on ur pc, with Blood DLC it won't lag aswell. Bro, it is really cheap, you must buy it I think.

In big MP battle u can disable the option if u want, but in campaign or other battles it is a really cool performance when u see how the charging infantry fall in blood.

I don't think if it lags. I mean I haven't noticed any differences with ot without Blood DLC.

Btw, the reason why they did't release game with Blood etc. is very well explained by emcdunna.

**emcdunna** · March 11, 2016, 06:06 PM

I just wish they had actually put out a statement on it. Like, informing the community the reason why they did what they did.

Those $3 or whatever that you spend is pretty cheap, and they have to be able to justify the cost of going through the effort to make blood removable.

Otherwise they'd probably just the whole game family friendly, since it'd be too much work to add blood for free

**Lucem Mundum** · March 11, 2016, 07:43 PM

Guys I didn't ask why they made it into a DLC, I know the reason behind that. All I asked is wither it causes frame rate issues or not.

**River Lord** · March 12, 2016, 05:08 AM

I believe we gave answer to your question already.

blood and burning does NOT cause frame rate issues.

**Humble Warrior** · March 13, 2016, 09:07 PM

I didn`t notice any frame drops, but it must cause at least 1 since it is extra stuff going on on screen, especially since they increased the rate of blood letting in a patch. I preferred it before they did that, now heads `prick` off alarmingly regularly.

I never really get these kind of questions: "Should I buy Attila?" "Should I get wakawaka-DLC?"

Also, it's .80 bloody cents on sale. It's not like you're buying a new Lexus.

I appreciate these kind of question because very often user's experience is way more different from what the producers tell about heir products and what you expect to have.
But in this case, I must admit, that it is way too cheap to wonder whether to buy it or not.

I agree. It's 80 cents for something that if you don't like then you can simply switch off on the graphic settings. This topic doesn't need to have a new thread opened on it nearly 10 months after Blood and Burning was released

First of all whats up the hostility? secondly this forum is for people to ask questions (wither you like them or not) you don't really have to comment if your annoyed by it, your basically creating a negative atmosphere. Do everyone a favour and keep your negative attitude to yourself.

btw i dont mind the price of the DLC at all, all I asked wither it causes fps issues, and I couldn't find a proper answer over the internet, so TWCenter was my last bet (I was actually hesitating to ask at first, due to people like you)

This statement doesn't make any sense at all. So what if it came out 10 months ago? why should that limit questioning the DLC? not everyone experienced the DLC so even after 10 months of release you should expect some questions, threads, etc. People who haven't experienced/bought a game, or DLC yet are more likely to ask questions about it.

I just can't understand how you don't get a very basic concept. You don't even need critical thinking skills....

Oh I totally understand how you're feeling. The thing is, we're not talking about a $8 Cultural Pack or a $15 Mini-Campaign, but rather 80 cents on something that can be turned off in the graphical options. My recommendation is to simply give it a shot, see how it works for you, then pass judgement on it. Graphics/Frame rates vary a lot depending on the computer in question and all the advice in the world won't help you with that.
