Of course, but if they are woth it, that's what I am saying. But then again, no game should really cost so much (200$ +) when you think about it. Lets not be silly and let the game devs milk us like freaking cows, when we know that the content is not worth that much, even if it's good. We have to fight for fair deals, and stop accepting everything they throw at us, like some mindless zombies.
TW games are not some MMO F2P games, where you can spend massive amounts of cash on gear, skins and what not. TW games have to be polished, finished and fun to play for hours and hours, then maybe they would be worth so much, which most of them are not. That's why I still don't have Atilla, and I barely played rome 2, and I didn't even bother with getting all of the 'expansions' and DLC (I do have 4 DLCs (only two of which are culture packs), but I never bought any of the expansions, and I never will). It is all the same crap over and over again. Rome 2 costs around 153$ with all of the expansions and stuff, when it's hardly worth even half that price.
And another thing that everyone is mentioning, that the factions of previous titles are all the same. Yes I agree, I was bored as well, playing basicly the same old units and everything else, and never finished more than a few campaings (I most definitelly didn't finish all of them, in any TW game). But, while I agree that the races are very different here, I still think that many of them will play out quite similarly, simply because of the animations (I am talking about the battlefield here). Even though they said they have more than 20 skeletons and 30+ animations, do you really believe they will not use the same ones for many different races? E.g. the elves, humans, lizardmen, skaven, vampires, zombies, skeletons, chaos, even orcs, goblins and dwarfs (if they will all be in the game, which I doubt, but that's another topic), who are all humanoids, can all have the same animations technically. There is no reason for them not to, and I think CA simply wouldn't put so much effort into it, and when you whink about it, it is a lot of effort, which means a lot of money, which I believe CA simply doesn't have. All of these have nothing but different skins on them, that's what it essentialy is, just look at Call of Warhammer and how the units play out. Yes, some of the animations are a bit wierd because there are no animations for trolls, ogres etc. so they had to use the human ones, but everything else is the same, and it plays out just fine. I think that in TWW they only added new animations for flying units, giants, trolls and the rest, that is why there are so many animations. I am not saying that that is bad, but I just don't expect so much variety in terms of combat, not as much as they say at least, but hey, maybe I am wrong (I certainly hope so lol).
