Even when I get this DLC for free it's still scummy

Game didn't even release properly finished yet you want me to pay for blood textures? Anyone who got this game within the first 2 months should just get this DLC for free.

I think Blood Textures have been the dumbest microtransaction I've seen in a game, I think I said it in my earlier review? You could just remove all the textures and go "Ah pay $5!" It's a scummy choice to make and doesn't avoid any ratings. You just do it to bend the consumer over.

With the amount of DLC you need to play the full version of this game, they should have at least made this specific DLC free for new comers to Warhammer 3. I got this DLC for free because I already payed for it back in Warhammer 1 but telling friends that they have to pay for this DLC to have blood plus pay for the previous 2 games and other DLC's to play other races makes this game a hard barrier for new players.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOODGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLOOD FROM CAPITALISTIC ASS-SUCKERS ...

should be free

notryarednaxela

Although I received it for free, I still feel should still be free for all or better yet just in the base game.

EDIT: Been told putting it in the base game messes with the age rating. Still stand by free.

Wasting money on this kind of splatter effect is beyond me, I for one would had thought improvements would be a thing going forward in this series as a whole but its always two step back when dealing with Creative Assembly.

Rather than adding in better combat animations, better duels, better death animations and proper breath-attack effects (Such as flame, acid, canon-fire or magical effects on death) overall.
All we get is a U.I of which to control the spray paint and blood mass in general...

What's the difference of not allowing this to be for free with a option within the game itself? ...
Oooh Yeah I remember..
Because it places the focus group higher in regards to your playerbase, yet close to nudity is fine on your models right?
You are showcasing clear hypocrisy Creative Assembly and the lack of fundamental brain cells nowadays when critical feedback is given, its showing more than ever before in regards of cheap labour through your missing "Creativity" of what could clearly been done a better job off..
Rather than splatter and blood pools all over the place...

Do not waste your money on this DLC if you don't have it you arn't missing out on anything gameplay wise.

The argument about age rating is idiotic, there's a fucking blood fountain in the game owned by a guy who demands skulls for the skull throne, not to mention the fuck daemons and the daemons that shit out other daemons. It should at least be free for everyone if not in the base game.

BOT Hector

Worst blood pack from CA.
Goofy stains on the ground. Out of sync animation.
Flickering issue. Just simply laziness.

Saltzpyre_Gaiming

It's good that it's free IF you have the dlc from warhammer 2. But honestly the blood doesn't look good. It actually looks worse then warhammer 2's blood dlc. Should be updated.

Quickdraw6
Quickdraw6

While it is, to me, an important part of any TW game, they really were lazy with it. Blood spurts look comically out of place, and you really could have made more than a singular blood decal to show on the ground. At least there's mods for it...

Woeful Doeful
Woeful Doeful

Again, pretty good effects, and it's cool you get it for free if you own it for only one game. This time you can slightly customize it by adjusting some sliders for how big the textures and particles are. I guess that's why they increased the price..? I don't know why they did that, you're better off just buying the same dlc for one of the other two games as it's like 49 cents cheaper.

duckruler

Bought it 99 cents cheaper by buying it on warhammer 2. Just buy it there dont pay 4 bucks for this.

FallTec
FallTec

Paying for blood in a game that's all about war and already includes maps with pools of blood. This should be free.

AWAKEandAWARE
AWAKEandAWARE

Finally its out. I always see this as kind of a rip off dlc but it is essential to my enjoyment of the game. I'm glad buying it twice was enough however so thanks for easing off my wallet this time around. Thanks CA for the $4 more for pennystocks.

Havent played for ages. Want to start a Khorne Daemon Prince, first battle see blood everywhere and Khorne is pleased...Khorne cares not where the blood flows, only that it flows.

Grandpa Edd

I got this for free because I own the ones of the previous games.

You honestly need this DLC.

But it's utter nonesense that people need to buy this.

Stop the blood tax.

The Konrad

This is ridiculous.
A game featuring Khorne, his bloody realm and shîtting Nurge Daemons defecating on their enemies should not require a Blood DLC.

Also where is the "Shîte for the Shîte lord" and "Boobs for the Boobs god" dlc? Are we that pervertedly prudish that decapitation and defecation is okay, but female nipples of sex-demons aren't?
If so we don't deserve survival anyway.

it's a great add on imo :) love the visual effects.

People are complaining about a $5 dlc that adds pretty decorations. Oh and buying it once makes it apply to all 3 games.

No problem with it to me. Looks great too. Not just red paint over things.
I watched an orc get thumped so hard all that was left was his legs and arms lmao

Blood feels cartooney and unimmersive... Oh, and completely unnecessary! We should never have to pay for blood effects in battle when there are literally rivers of blood in the base game!

Maps have heaps of blood and gore, yet you have to pay for blood from troops. Same mod from Warhammer 2 is cheaper.

Slaanesh units say things like "Orgasmic agony" and "blissfull penetration"
Khorne maps have rivers and ponds of blood, while nurgle shits on their foes (literally).

Yet I have to pay 3.5 to get my Carnosaur covered in katchup.
What a joke.

Starcret

the good:
blood effects seem to not completely tank your performance anymore, and they looks more realistic

the bad:
CA out there YET AGAIN charging money for a damn graphics option while even ramping up the price compared to former blood DLCs.

at least you get this DLC for free when you bought the blood god DLC for one of the other TWWH games

Maxxtax

DISCLAIMER: The warhammer 2 or 1 blood dlc is cheaper and if you buy it you get this one. Just buy the warhammer 2 or 1 version instead.

It's a warhammer game, so it's needed.

Still stupid that it costs to lower actual age ratings on the game.

Yeah, its the blood pack.

What you want me to say? Shun it for existing? Its been done for 3 games now and there isn't going to be a 4th so whats the point?

Gotta problem with this, just message the ESRB for being puritans at this point instead of ranting on Steam Forums.

The reviews are so bad and cringe. All downvotes are "you can get it 1 penny cheaper if you buy the WH2 version" and "its just blood"

Little lads its the best blood dlc ever released for a Total War / Warhammer game, cause you can scale the blood and gore lvl and you can dictate the level of decapitations and torn limbs and so on.

Worth the 3,50 quid

Abarron
Abarron

Why is this blood DLC more expensive than in warhammer 1 and 2 when getting blood in those games unlocks it in warhammer 3 as well? Not to mention, blood should be base game. The ratings excuse is a lie.

Some Kinda Kobold

Lotta comments of people going "Weeaauuuugh don't buy here it's cheaper in the other games" As if the rest of us aren't smart enough to R E A D. Guys, Chill. There's literally a note in big fat Blue letters that explains what you're all unanimously screeching.

Though back to the main topic. A few bucks for better gore effects? Nice. So long as your PC can handle the base game. Not Potato friiendly.

purchase it on the first game for the cheapest price and you'll receive it for free in the other two games. these games really feel incomplete without this pack so don't miss out on it, just make sure you get it for the best price.

Blood for the Blood God and Skulls for Skull Throne!!! Worth the wait for Immortal Empire I say.

There's no reason this should cost money. The age rating excuse is simply not true, and even if it were this could just be priced for less.

BLOOD, YIPEEE!!

But, if you want a lot of blood I think you have to increase the VFX quality setting. At least from what I've tested so far. Keep that in mind if you're wondering why there's so little blood.

Blood should have been in at launch but hey, after many months we finally have it! Nothing but the best low quality ground blood decals and chunks of jam eruptions! Can't believe it actually looks worse than the one in the previous game.
The extra insulting cherry on top is that Creative Assembly had the fucking gall to try and hype this mess pre-release, like this isn't something they withheld to get TWWH3 a lower age rating and made us wait months after launch for... this.

Don't buy this. It doesn't add anything to the game, it's not even good quality and paying money for what is a basic core feature months after game release is just insulting.
CA think they can sell you anything if they hype you up and jingle their keys in front of you enough. Prove them wrong.

(If you really really want this though, go over to the TWWH1 page and buy the Blood Pack for that game of sale, it'll be significantly cheaper)

The BLOOD GOD didn't have blood for 7 months. I understand CA incorporating blood in a separate DLC to avoid ridiculous and seemingly arbitrary censorship laws, but the fact that it took them over half a year to add something that should have been available from launch day is just pathetic and really indicative of the unfinished state this game released in, a state it is still in to this day (despite CA finding time to release two paid DLCs, both of which should have been base game content). Charging $3.50 for something that CLEARLY should have been part of the base content is just outrageous, $3.50 is pocket change to anyone who can afford a gaming PC and AAA games but it's a matter of principle. This DLC should be set to the lowest price possible, CA does not deserve another cent for blood effects, players paid for them when they bought the base game.

Just buy it from 1 on offer or sum

Creative Assembly isnt fooling anyone with that excuse.

If your units get so much as sneezed on they will look like they just bathed in ketchup. Luckily, and unlike the previous games you can choose to tone down the blood effects on a percentage basis.

Kinda cool that you don't need to buy it again if, you already bought on the past two games.

I don't recommend this DLC should have been in the games at launch.

Silentium

This is the only aspect of this game that I have ever been dissatisfied about: paying for blood. Otherwise, just leave me in the barn for milking, game is a 10/10. After ~3k hours of TWWH(1:2:3) accumulated and a blood pack never being on sale once throughout these years, I final cave. They will NEVER put this on sale to give us a chance to spite them back even a little bit. I give up and spite with this comment instead. If you want it, just buy it for I or II, as its 50 cents cheaper. If you do that then you technically received it for free, right? *runs & cries in corner out of shame*

Capital for the Capitalism God!

should have been in the game from the beginning.

Gniwii

Shouldn't this be free? There is less blood in the base game so they can work the international video game rankings system and sell it in more places to younger players. Its stupid to then add it and make us pay so the company bottom line looks better. I'm sure the people writing the code would have been happy to add it. The suits that dont even PLAY the game, they want those spreadsheets to look good so gougegougegouge is the name of their favorite pastime.

That said those fuckers are right I couldn't resist even knowing I'm being gouged, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and skullz for his throne.

It is disgraceful this is still being sold separately from the game.

What basic gameplay assets are you removing next? Will weapons not be included in the next game anymore so your customers have to buy them separately too? Paying for bugfixes for a full priced game?

Shame on you CA, especially after the disaster that is WH3

Ør-j

Its Reeeal bullshit to have to pay for blood in a strategi game that HAVE blood... Its just to get more money. Even thou i get it for free since i already have it from the previous game (didn`t think they would have mercy, its a little nice), i cant forgive the GREED off this company... Great game, shitty company.

Blood DLC is broken since three kingdoms and CA don't care to fix that.
Blood alongside other temporary textures like slime or dark coloring after explosion have tendency to flicker insanely, this bug only got worse with warhammer III

Extremely low effort. The blood decals all look the same on the floor, they disappear, and there's generally nothing to suggest it's anywhere near worth $3.50. The textures are also buggy.

I feel scammed and I got it for free.

Having the sliders is great and all, but the overall look and feel of the blood and gore is pretty disappointing. The textures flicker when overlapping, but certain terrain seems to make even one decal flicker. They fade away quite quickly, presumably to hide the flickering mess that it becomes.

I made a mod to make the blood more or less permanent on the ground and it really highlights how bad it looks if it's slathered on the ground. Pretty disappointing to get a visually worse version of something that was pretty much fine in the previous title, the code just needed some going over so it didn't affect performance so much. Instead we have self cleaning maps that sweep this DLC back under the rug where it belongs. I suppose it will be up to the community to make this DLC into something worth using.

This is smart DLC policy for long time fans of the game. I was surprised to see I got this DLC after already buying it for WH2 years ago. This is a great compromise between greedy suits at corporate wanting to make a buck and rewarding long time fans that have already paid for blood two different times already

Best unit and particle effects in a blood pack yet, but the blood on the ground leaves much to be desired. Overall, still a good addition to the game.

And you get it for free if you own it for WH1 or WH2.

The game is great but sadly the Fanbase has yet to purge the racist portions out of it. Don't believe me?

Make a topic on the TWW3 forums and ask if there could be a Black Legendary Lord or Hero added in a future DLC. Then don't reply to it. You'll get banned in 24 hours, not a single racist person that brigaded your topic will be punished, and you'll get a message from the TWW3 Steam Forum mod team full of blatant racism and how asking for a Black character in the game is against their rules.

CA and GW need to have a sit down a long talk with Valve over Valve letting blatant racist moderate the Warhammer related forums as this isn't an isolated case. Ask about a Black character in any Warhammer steam forums and the result will be the same.

I cannot rec commend this game until this blatant racism is dealt with and the moderators under Valve that promote it are removed. They're a disgrace.

game already has blood and gore built in. Another cashgrab where they carve out features, claim its 'to avoid game ratings', then sell it back to you.

WARNING: THIS DLC IS BUGGED.

The blood flicker and glitches as soon as other effects happen on top of it, which make this mod useless since it is mostly for visuals.

I will change to positive when they fix it.

Shouldnt have to pay for blood in a game with a damn blood god in it, however if u own the warhammer 2 blood dlc this is free, the blood effects are damn good tho but the point stands shouldnt have to pay for this shit.

I think this is the best version of the blood dlc now but i do think it could be better. there is only red blood the daemons also bleed red blood just like the spiders in my opinion they should have different collors of blood. for the rest the dlc is okay i bought it in warhammer I so i don't have to pay any extra for it.

Total War: WARHAMMER III - Blood for the Blood God III

Total War: WARHAMMER III - Blood for the Blood God III is an expansion that adds blood effects and dismemberment to the game. Thanks to this DLC, we can notice new combat animations on the battlefield, and new events appearing on the campaign map. I got the product for free thanks to the same DLC in Warhammer II. So why is the review negative? This is because, apart from the fact that the price for an ordinary graphic effect is just too high, there is no logic in it. From the very beginning, when the game was released, we could witness fountains, rivers and lakes of blood, so I have no idea what the problem was to have blood in battles at the beginning? Because what, it is pouring out of bodies? With that logic, some murderer might as well say that he is innocent, because although his cellar is covered with blood, the body is nowhere to be found, so everything is OK. I really want to hear some logical explanation. And secondly. The blood itself looks strange in these games. It splashes across the models without any composition (making the units lose all visible detail), and some strange circles / pools of blood appear on the ground out of nowhere ( which again, it makes no sense, and overall, It looks very unnatural ). It looks downright comical. I'm not sure about the FPS thing, so I can't tell if the game performs worse or the same. But nothing was happening to me, so it shouldn't be a problem. Either way, I just will never understand the marketing logic behind this DLC.

Mr Nimbus

just wanna dispel the falsehood, once again, that this DLC is necessary to skirt around ESRB ratings - that has been proven false.

this is nothing but a cash-grab for anyone who weren't conned into it in the first two renditions of the game.

anyone who unironically supports this lazy piece of "content" as anything but cashflow for CA are blatant bootlickers.

Misfit53741
Misfit53741

Blood and gore for Warhammer III - free if you've got I + II and already payed for I's Blood for the Blood God pack. Using it in game-play though, it, 'really', works well with Daemon factions, especially Khorne (as shown in trailer), very appropriate there, the additional events which increase your troops battle efficiency as well are a bonus.

This should honestly be free at this point. It was BS they made us pay for it in the first place, don't milk your customers.

Should be free and included in the base game.
This is nothing more than a cash grab hiding under the guise of keeping the PEGI/ESRB age rating low so that it's E for everyone :/ if that's the case charge a penny for it!
Only saving grace is that once you've purchased it you have the DLC for all three iterations of Total War Warhammer.

I wish the blood effects was a bit more realistic for this game, it hasnt been much improvement from game II, the biggest problem is when the blood is on the units it looks unnatural a model almost has too much blood.
and finally why the hell is it a DLC?
