From 2014 to 2021 there were over 65 (Sixty-five) Warhammer and Warhammer 40k games
Yet, there's only been 4 good games EVER made under these franchises

Half of these are 7/10 at best too
Why are these properties cursed to have such shitty games?
Other than CA, every Warhammer property gets made by random trash companies because GW doesn’t care enough to get real devs to make them. They just let random mobile devs have their crack at it.
To correct your post, there has been exactly 1 good Warhammer Fantasy game, and it was an MMO that was shut down. I don't know what that zoom zoom shit is doing in your image.
That being said, they'd rather just give the IP to anyone who wants it to get their brands out there as a household name. They don't actually care about making good games, they care about people recognizing Space Marines.
Both BFGA games were good
Vermintide isn't a good game
>I don't know what that zoom zoom shit is doing in your image.
Vermintide 2 and Total War Warhammer 2?
They look like this respectively
They're "ok"
(I probably misread your post and you already know what they look like and play like)
GW doesn't really care who gets the IP as long as they are ready to follow their guidelines
Which mostly leads to incompetence or passionate people who cannot realise their vision since they don't have the knowhow.
Fire Warrior and Adeptus were good too. Also Dawn of War is easily a 9/10.
>Fire Warrior was good
Please play it in modern times, without nostalgia goggles.
That is a blatant lie.
OP here, the 7/10s are Vermintide 2 and Space Marine
Coincidentally because Space Marine did about as much as it could with a pretty boring genre
While Vermintide came short on what could be an amazing genre
Because they are developed by devs with passion for the settings but no funds to realise their dreams. You can see it every time they do an interview, be it Fatshark, the devs behind Eternal Crusade etc.
GW doesn't care because they get their license money and the games act as free advertisement for them which they can capitalise further on when the game succeeds (see Vermintide music in GW miniature trailers). If a game does badly they cut their ties with it and loose nothing.
What about Adeptus Mechanicus?
I believe this completely tbqhwy, SOUL but not body to contain it all
GW basically runs the IP like the Imperium would and just mass produces in accordance to what it sees as most efficient.
Warhammer online isn't zoom zoom but somehow 4 years prior Dawn of War is? Wow was baby's first mmo and a pvp focus warhammer rip off job of it was a steaming pile of dogshit for kids who didn't know any better because they like plastic army men. Holy shit I'm so angry tell me it was bait.
>t. zoomer
dawn of war came out in 2004
>only been 4 good games EVER
Chaos Gate and Shadow of the Horned Rat would like a word with you
>games
You mean franchises.
Vemintide 1, Dawn of War 2, Total Warhammer 1 and 3 are all good games too.
Moreover you forgot Mechanicus and Battlefleet Gothic 1 + 2.
Stop with the stupid hyperbole.
Yes, Fatshark is retarded and breaks the game for a while with every major patch. That goes tripple for the launch itself and Winds of Magic.
But when the game is in a playable state, which is 95% of the time these days, it's a really good fucking game. And a bunch of recent additions like Chaos Wastes and new classes were actually great.
Warhammer 3 is shit.
Forgot about Hired Gun too.
WH3 is a bug ridden mess, plays like a MOBA and its campaign is worse than vortex
At the end of the life cycle it will be the definitive warhammer experience.
Nah it got shafted by being put in the hands of CA's diversity hire B-team.
Dunno about that, but it at least deserves some credit as one of the very few warhammer shooters.
B-team makes the DLCs and A the actual games
>jank so potent it manifested as a minor chaos god
Great backstab
WH2 was a mess at release too and everybody moaned about the campaign.
It's only after lots of polish and content updates it got such a high score.
I have no doubt that in the end it will work, so far I have avoided playing it because I know it will get better with some time.
