This is giving me the same bad feeling as the dungeon keeper mobile game.

Should be giving any fan of the series a bad feeling. It looks like hot garbage

Aren't all RTS awful to watch until you understand the balance, quirks etc?

DOW 2 had paid skins just saying. Why is does it take so much work to make a decent warhammer game?

The reason it's so awful to watch doesn't even have a lot to do with balance. The artstyle, unit animations and voicelines are a still a huge step back from DoW2, and that UI is just a hot fucking mess.

Because no matter how well you make the game, what angle you take, what content you put into it, or what type of game you make the playerbase will find a reason to hate it because you didn't put X or Y into it or didn't make exactly the kind of gameplay they want.

The Warhammer fanbase is just never happy.

>Loved DoW 1
>Loved DoW 2

Looking at DoW 3 makes me want Relic and Sega to go under. What a mess. Sad.

Why add the whole fucking tower thing? moba as fuck. I guess just going for the enemies base is just too "toxic"

DESU Im pretty happy with total war warhammer but its stating to feel like good warhammer games are gong to be even fewer and far between soon which doesn't make any since the way GW is whoring their license out

Seems like some NDA just lifted as in the last 2 hours plenty of sites have released gameplay videos on YT.

Artstyle and animations and color palette feels goofy, its like they want to appeal to kids or something

Yeah, I wonder.

I'm all for hating on DoW3 but it doesn't look like MOBA in the slightest. In fact, if it was MOBA then I would've been pretty hyped for it.

WHY MUST YOU RUIN EVERY SACRED GAME

>NO EMPERORS GLORIOUS ARMIES OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD

I mean, how dare they do this. How insulting to the spirit of 40k.

tfw preordered
might have gone for collectors but I don't give a fuck about a dinky-ass hammer that will probably be plastic and poorly painted.

>Jain zar is a regular unit

No buy, no ty.

>pre-ordering
>2017

Just absolutely insulting to the fans and to the heart of the franchise. Heartbreaking even, to see such a bastardization of the venerated art style.

nice try relic

It'll come with Winter Assault, when it releases in December of this year.

yea, I want my fucking skins. I know the game is going to be good, ive already played the beta a lot.

Guys you remind me of those imbeciles who kept on insisting that Civ 6 is a mobile game until very launch.

As a big fan of DoW1, i seriously don't understand the hate this game is getting so far.

I hope this game bombs as hard as humanely possible. Relic Entertainment should stay true to their name and fuck off from the industry forever.

Don't forget to purchase some in-game currency at launch so you can get your epic elite units out on the field sooner, user

wait what? you messing with me?

is there actually going to be a winter assault dlc?

How dare they...

WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH BRIGHT COLORS AND MOBA BUZZWORD!!! I WANT MUH DOOM BANDWAGON FUCK RELICCCC AAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS GOING TO SUUUUUUUUUUCK STOP BUYING IT MOBILE GAME GUYS MOBILE MOBILE MOBA MOBILE CASUAL SHIT WAAAAAAA NOT GRIMDARK ENOUGH ITS GONNA CRASH!!!!!!!!!! STOPPPPP PRE ORDERING RIGHT NOW!!!!!

2 words: trump audience
neurotic as fuck and getting triggered by their own shade

god i am afraid to ask how many layers that guy has painted on there

sorry, im not that gay
messing with you, but it'll probably happen

>that banner
Amazing.

Also, are those supposed to be Ork/Nid hybrids?

:(

>Blackmailing their consumers with content being only available if you give them money before you receive the product, or even have the chance to test it out.
>Not selling it afterwards, not only to people who bought your game before it was released, but also to those that will buy it long after it was released.

Looks like they are trying to obscure the fact that their game is shit.

Considering Guardsmen are actually IN the game, there's a %9999.99 chance they will come in later

>tfw vastly prefer the lumbering pace of DOW2 and the focus on unit preservation and squad tactics
>tfw liked some of the base building and battle scale of DOW1

Why they didn't merge the two I will never fucking know. This looks just like some starcraft abomination of special effects and bubbly animation so you can't even tell what is going on. The color pallet and art style are fine. Its the over the top flashy bits make it impossible to tell what's going on. DOW2 was pushing it when a ton of skills were used at the same time, but this is like every fucking second of combat.

honestly with the whole change from imperial guard to astro militar


im not sure if i want to see what nu-relic will turn them into

FUCK COVER SYSTEM

I WANT DOW 1

I want to know why people shit on Starcraft. It's a good game.

I just want CoH mechanics with warhammer skins. Is that so much to ask?

a question everyone has askef since DOW 2

they would go together like PB&J

but its literally just a namechange

>Tfw you know that if an IG faction comes out they'll have shitty inquisitors instead of based Psykers
I don't want some pompous cunt, give me my crazyfus!

it's shit

>maps have lanes like a MOBA
>heroes & skills like a moba
>have to kill 3 tiers of buildings like a moba
>no sync kills
>all the animations and effects look like shit
>your units don't react to anything
>try to combine DoW1 and DoW2 but end up doing them both a disservice and ruining the game in a completely brand new way
>made by Nu-Relic who ruined CoH now they ruined DoW

40k is cancer, doubly so when you realize most of the current fanbase is Sup Forumsfags who only like it because humans genocide billions of aliens.

Fantasy is far superior, but then against a thousand other franchises are, as well. I pity anyone who will buy Dawn of MOBA 3.

Looks pretty great, though?

>triggered morons blame everything on trump now
thanks obama!

The whole concept of elite units with different abilities reeks from opportunity for microtransactions.

It will probably end up like CoH2 where they have $100+ worth of those commanders.

All they need to do is get rid of the autistic shield cover and Ill at least give it a try.

They should just do soulstorm with updated graphics and more armies like tyranids.

That is the perfect DoW so far

lol wut

You have fehld the empra

Pretty ironic because 40k is one of the shittiest setting to be human in.

ok reddit

>t. nu-relic dev struggling to keep his job

>The whole concept of elite units
Is lifted straight from the tabletop?

It looks great. No more shitty auto-retreat. No more shitty DOW2 cover system. Big armies are back. Base building is back.

>trying to put people playing the beta under NDAs when it launches in a month

It launches in two months.

What is maths?

Superior at being dead maybe LOL

>hours of beta footage, reading about how the game functions from the devs themselves, pre-order skins and a nu-Relic's track record aren't doesn't mean it's shit
>just buy it!

the UI is so god damn awful

>that fucking ui

Who in the fuck play with the map on the right?

>maps have lanes like a MOBA
>heroes & skills like a moba
Just like dawn of war 1 and to a greater extent 2?

>all the animations and effects look like shit
I hate this "Its not grim dark enough meme" Play the older ones again the effects were bright as shit or made in a way you could tell them apart.

Rest is correct though

More info from yesterdays thread

coh2 was bad

dow3 looks bad

rest in peace, relic, you had a good run

That's the only correct criticism so far

The UI is fucking horrible

Yup.

Cuck this. Cuck that. MOBA this, Starcraft that. WHERE MUH GREMDERK.

A bunch of fucking 15 year old edgelords they are, honestly.

Yes, the game ticks all of these arbitrary boxes that make up a 'true RTS' so it's going to be a solid 10/10. Just ignore everything to the contrary bros, big blobs and shiny abilities!

That looks great.

nah the bubble shields and tall grass are dumb and gimmicky

Nice edgy opinion there, senpai. I bet it makes you feel so edgy and superior and ultra factual famalam. Like some super cool hardcore uber good taste patrician tier somber film critic senapi famalamba. Like a really ultra epic coldsteel edgy super extra mean cool guy fimbalamb. You must be some highly unexplainably badass super hard tattoo'd vidya playing patrician kool kid with some absolutely revolutionary fantastic ideas and shit senpai. Absolutely ascended tier real fuckin' mean shit, famalamabamamajimjammagrammadam. Clearly we're all absolutely enlightened and have had our ignornace blown out of our skulls by your absolutely hard cold logic, frimbalajabbagimbadimbashimpashrimptastingbigbadsenpai. Thank you so much for your eminent intellectual opinion superiority.

It's not shitting on starcraft. Starcraft is fine. DOW, and later DOW2 paved out its own sort of RTS style Relic branching out with at the time. Relic pretty much up and abandoned everything they built with 1 and 2 and went chasing the Starcraft/E-sports scene instead.

>tall grass
>power cores

Aren't these mechanics ripped straight out of MOBAs?

They said you can change the UI and people already did so in the beta.

>Build a free to play game on a taxing AAA engine
>Market the game at poor people

When will these retards learn exactly?

>grass was invented in MOBAs
uh

>call someone edgy for disliking one of the most edgy settings possible

wow that really made me think

Literally straight from Tabletop. Hell, even the overpriced micronstransactions would be faithful to Games Workshop in a shitty way.

...

>Free to play

do you even know anything about this game user

>being a pedantic faggot

Tall grass as an in-game stealth mechanic, not grass as map foliage you stupid fuck

>maps have lanes like a MOBA

DOW2 did this. It was even balanced around 3v3.

>heroes and skills like a MOBA

DOW1 had heroes with skills.

DOW2 had you pick one hero who gained experience from killing regular mooks and levelled up during the match, buying items. Skills used mana to cast.

>have to kill 3 tiers of buildings

I'll give you this one.

>no sync kills

This is good. Sync kills remove control from the player for several seconds, and happen at random. They also make your unit invulnerable so the enemy has no way to counter.

They look cool the first few times, but they are shitty gameplay. If I wanted to watch animations I would be watching cinematics or playing a game with QTEs.

>animations/effects

Look fantastic.

>units don't react

Yes they do.

>Game actually looks great thanks for convincing me user

You're welcome.

DoW2 wasn't heavily influenced by the popularity of mobas though. Your heroes had abilities and you could upgrade them but so did your units. Demo packs, smoke. that kid of shit. It was no different than unit abilities from CoH.

I don't mean "it's not grimdark enough" because I don't care about that. You could fucking paint your marines bright colours in DoW2.

I more mean the readability. The effects don't tie into the animation system properly and also are completely visually overwhelming and confuse everything on the screen.

When a huge explosion happens in a group of infantry nothing happens at all. They don't react, they're not blown around. They just keep shooting at each other.

The unclear visual language combined with the horrendous UI and the questionable gameplay combines into a very unappealing product.

They tried to cater to the DoW1 and DoW2 audience at the same time and failed both.

No he knows basically nothing like half the idiots who are shitting on it for no reason.

Honestly it looks alright in my book.

The thing about the style though is that I can accept the actual minitures to be cartoony, they are of course, minitures, it's hard to have a ton of detail in something so small and to paint them bright colors benefit since it helps it making sure you are on point with your lines and colors. But this is a video game. You can put a ton more detail in to them and a great part of the games is seeing them in full on detail just like the pictures, boxes and books describe them.

But it could be worse I guess. I think Sup Forums is still freaking out over nothing.

...

>>>>>>>>>>>reddit

Is it just me or does it feel like the animations are either played at 2x speed?

>beta is not indicative of the final product
>full game releases in less than 2 months

THEY'LL FIX IT

I want my guardsmen back.

It's deathwing all over again

is there lore on the characters of dow 40k or is the game series not canon to it?
