Total War: WARHAMMER III

Players experience frustration primarily due to persistent technical issues, such as frequent crashes, desyncs, and game-breaking bugs that disrupt gameplay. Additionally, the game's monetization practices—including expensive and numerous DLCs, paywalled content, and perceived developer neglect—exacerbate this emotion, as players feel the game is incomplete or unfairly monetized.

Disappointment stems from the game failing to meet expectations set by its potential and the franchise's legacy. Key causes include unfulfilled promises, persistent bugs, lack of meaningful updates, and a decline in strategic depth or innovation. Players also express disappointment in the developer's prioritization of monetization (e.g., DLC pricing, paywalls) over core gameplay improvements or fixes.

Anger is driven by perceived exploitation and neglect, such as broken mechanics remaining unfixed, misleading DLC practices, and developer indifference to community feedback. Players feel betrayed by the developer's focus on profit over quality, leading to wasted time, money, and trust in the franchise.

Satisfaction arises from the game's depth, replayability, and immersive content, particularly its rich lore, faction variety, and tactical gameplay. Players appreciate polished updates, quality DLC, and the game's ability to deliver lengthy, engaging campaigns, especially when technical performance is stable.

Excitement is fueled by the game's epic battles, unique faction mechanics, and the thrill of discovering new content or mods. Players are drawn to the immersive Warhammer Fantasy world, tactical depth, and the promise of large-scale, dynamic gameplay experiences.
