I'm hedging my bets but cautiously optimistic

I'm hedging my bets but cautiously optimistic.

Who am I kidding, it can be total shit and I'll probably still put 100 hours in, day 1 pirate.

So...no denuvo, huh?

i liked dow1 and 2 but honestly i dont like a lot of what ive seen so far from this game

...

>he's still going to buy it

I almost forgot about this game and then I saw this thread.

DOW is that series that keep making me come back. Im a shitter who can hardly win against comps but i keep trying to bring ig to the field in dark crusade because they are the coolest faction in that game, also fuck the blood ravens, they were in the wrong

I'll wait for Eliphas to show up.

>soulstorm
>good
What the fuck is wrong with you.

>Soulstorm is good

Stopped reading there. Trash detected.

While I miss DoW, DoWII had great campaigns.

You gotta REALLY like the Sisters of Battle for that image to not be bait.

no last stand, dropped

I never said I was buying it. Live tha freebootaz life!

how do people still fall for the same bait that has been in every single dawn of war thread for the past year or two

Because there genuinely is people who think that image is truth.

>bumping threads with opinions is falling for bait
Okay champ.

DC samefag still shitting up the thread i see

Reminder that you can samefag the shit out of an anonymous image board but you cant samefag the shit out of steam charts

I'm the second poster you quoted, there is no samefag. Soulstorm isn't good. Sorry you feel otherwise.

This is because the mods that make DoW I popular are based on Soulstorm, it has nothing to do with Soulstorms merit.

The numbers are like that because like dow2 only mods are being played and mods are for the last expansion

I have one question, did the fucking leprechaun write this game? Because the fronflipping primarch is the kind of shit he'd pull.

You would have to be REALLY retarded to think the image is not correct

Also since this seems to be /w40k/ general, anyone knows why when I start dow2 I get side by side cofinguration is incorrect error? windows 7 x64

Soulstorm is widely regarded as the best game in the series.

Put some effort into your bait

>it can be total shit

You know the multiplayer is a Mona style game right?
I'm not memeing either I'm serious, it's a Moba style multiplayer with no other modes yet.

Soulstorm was bugged out the ass, and more importantly flying units simply didn't work well because the engine was never designed for them.

Mechnically, none of the Dawn of War games are good. They're all bugged to shit.

DC is praised for it's singleplayer and despised for it's multiplayer

SS is praised for it's multiplayer and despised for it's singleplayer

Fans of both games don't understand this when they argue about which game is better

Sice custodes are going to become an army in 40k, how likely it's for them to become a dlc faction, or a skin?

>soulstorm
>bad

This is some of the worst bait i have seen here.

I'm fine with that as long as we get other modes too.

DC has a shit single player though, which was largely panned and is nothing more than lazily slapped together skirmishes.

Also the game is a broken mess.

The developers are not even working on it yet, they said if there is interest they will develop other modes later on.

The vast majority of rts players on Sup Forums never touch multiplayer because they see it as a microfest that only koreans and autists are good at.

Come on, they wouldn't leave us high and dry but most likely they'll be lazy and wait until the inevitable expansion to give us more modes.

It's a new company working in it this time, isn't it?

Cautiously optimistic too, but emphasis on "cautiously."

The way they've given the designs a more toon-y vibe and put bright flashing lights everywhere in combat doesn't sit well with me.
And with only 3 playable races, I'm a little worried this game is going to be a DLC-fest.

You're probably joking OP but this have happened numerous time since Relic released Soulstorm

>hurr durr Soulstorm is shit
>Years later
>Soulstorm is best fight me faggot!

>Hurr duurr DoW2 is shit
>Years later
>DoW2>DoW1 fight me hereticfags

>Hurr duurr CoH2 is shit
>Years later
>CoH2>Coh1 1v1 me Oberfags

And then the fanbase have massive shitflinging on both side. Why do Relic games have this curse?

It will be shit. And I will still love it and buy all the race and special unit DLCs that will inevitably come out.

>Soulstorm was bugged out the ass
DC is and still is more bugged than SS, SS was also fixed while DC was not.

>and more importantly flying units simply didn't work well because the engine was never designed for them.
Completely false not only do flyers work fine in SS but DoW runs on the impossible creatures engine, which had flying units.

Next time when you try to bait make it less obvious you have never actually played the game and just parrot shit you read other people say.

>Source: My Ass, 2017

No they would I'll see if I can find the article again but the devs say they are not making any other modes unless there is interest in it.

Confirmed leader for IG in the dlc

How's DoW3 closed beta? Heard it was fun with typical Relic balance.

...

>SS
>good

I thought he was dead.

The fact you are so completely clueless about DoW and its community pretty much says everything.

Found it.
www. google.com/amp/www.eurogamer.net/amp/2017-03-06-dawn-of-war-3s-multiplayer-reveals-moba-influence

"That is the multiplayer game at launch"
"Other modes are definitely something we want to explore post launch, but at launch it's the power core gameplay mode."

Played a ton of SS at LAN parties.
Shit was cash.

>SS
>Bad

How could he be dead when it was IG that won soulstorm?

I would uniroincally find it hilarious if they made Stubbs comically incompetent yet somehow always managing to win his battles despite it.

Best governor-general!

meant for

You know all this shit-flinging would have more weight if ANY of these games were objectively good in any sense. Literally all of them are held together with spit and duct tape, it's like arguing over which curtain makes the best prom dress.

>soulstorm
>bad
What the fuck is wrong with you.

Couldn't we use another Ork Waghboss as a comical relief, they are clearly more suited for this.
Although Sgt. Merrick was comical but also very down to earth.

This game will fail because unlike MEA and other leading titles right now which are being called the greatest games ever made it does nothing to promote diversity or LGBT rights which is the point of any futuristic game unless your a racist nazi

>its a MOBA

Why would you want anyone other than Ghaz?

wtf is wrong with soul storm?

it simply adds one faction? I love SOB so I dont get the problem?

But that's the point, the Imperium is a parody of fascism.

It adds two. And it was a broken as hell game on release, so the impression lasted.

>the Imperium is a parody of fascism.
that is why it must be destroyed and ignored to promote diversity and LGBT rights which is the whole point of any video game.

Look at Mafia 3 or MEA which all are being hailed by critics as some of the greatest games ever made for being able to play as a black person or any person who isnt white.

anyone who buys DOW3 is a racist, its that simple and should be banned from their gaming platform.

(You)

>It adds two. And it was a broken as hell game on release, so the impression lasted.
ahhhhhhhhhh I gotcha I only played it later surprised they still update the originals so they must have an epic fanbase. Dark crusade seems to be the peak. Its a shame how the devs said they hated base building and other things which didnt involve combat since thats the only feature they want in the game.

As Mel Brooks once said, the greatest enemy of the nazis is comedy. Make them look foolish and they lose their teeth.

Ghaz s hiralious but there is so much you can do with one character.
Now that i think about is better not to even be Stubbs in the expasion that will make IG playable, but another commander of a new Kauravan Regiment.

>Make them look foolish and they lose their teeth
uhhh mel brooks is a racist nazi and all you need to do is make laws against anyone saying anything positive about nazis which has been done in several civil countries unlike America which is full of anti-semites who think its ok for people to say positive things about the german people.

You will never make anyone laugh.

Actually it was far less broken than WA or DC on release, also the community moved to SS a long time ago.

the SS is bad is a meme mostly done by samefags

Well Lukas is dead so it can't be him.

>People still bitter about a release 9 years ago

Wew

>it's another "dow thread turned into DC/SS shitflinging" episode

I know you just want (you)s and are shitposting, but the whole point of the 40k setting is that you don't take it seriously.

>dark crusade
>peak

Dark Crusade had problems first of all Dark Crusade saw the implementation of what was, without a doubt, one of the worst "fixes" to a problem in gaming history. Having decided that combat was "too lethal" and that shooty units shouldn't be able to chase down and kill fleeing units, Relic introduced a flat change to the fire-on-the-move accuracy of every single unit: 15%. In one stroke, this "Fix" caused dozens of problems. No longer did the likes of Dreadnoughts ever see a weapon upgrade (because doing so would give it a functionally-useless weapon that would never hit as it moved towards close-combat and hindered its melee power to boot), and the weapon immediately made rapid-firing weapons dozens of times better than those that fired slowly, since it was much more likely that they could hit with a few shots than their counterparts. Vehicles and personnel intended to fire on the move (such as Terminators) became functionally useless, whilst the Eldar Fleet of Foot ability became tantamount to godmode (initially it reduced accuracy when activated, but now with the flat 15% fire accuracy there was no reason not to use it when moving units. Also the Eldar Harlequin could fire a 10000+damage attack that would kill one unit in a squad, but due to how it was coded, could target and instagib a commander unit that was attached to said squad. On top of this the games online would hardly function dropping players from the game randomly making online matches very hard to actually finish.

There is a reason why the DoW community left DC for dead

Oh yeah because Sup Forums was NEVER known for being ruined by first impressions.

>the whole point of the 40k setting is that you don't take it seriously.
it shouldnt even exist if you consider how insensitive it is to holocaust survivors that in the future white people are in charge when in the bible it clearly states the Jews are gods chosen people you racist nazi.

were these ever fixed because every now and then I do see updates to this old game?

I really REALLY want to like this game. I even play the tabletop game and paint the models. But its so hard to like what Ive seen. The 1 mode for multiplayer, the terrible UI, and the obnoxious flashy bloom and particle effects of everything. Not to mention a short campaign (13 missions) where you play as each faction for a mission.

Fucking seriously, they dont even have last stand and im doubleful for custom maps and modding potential. It just feels like a mobile game especially with that ugly UI.

It's going to be shit. They're dropped everything RTS-related that could be difficult to make a cookie cutter rock-paper-scissors "easy access" game.

...

DC was never fixed, Relic did promise an update but it never happened.

SS fixed most of DC's problems though.

Wait, but the left is the ones who always criticize Israel. You can't fool me!

I still want him to be Lord Commander of The Imperial Guard. He'd take orders from Roboute Guilliman, but it would be awesome.

>SS fixed most of DC's problems though.
hmmmm well I play SS alot but love the others. The SS as a faction seem way to squishy but maybe that is just me.

inb4 fucking losers complain about "muh grim dark"

>SS as a faction
what

Ss SOB sorry get my WH terms mixed up gotta dust off that cobweb play the games once a year but its been awhile since last play through.

I think he means sisters of battle, but thinks sisters of silence. Thats my guess.

Adepta Sororitas friend

Dem post times.

>DoW3 is MOBA

Stop with this shitty meme. In this game there are only 2 things, that are related to MOBAs, and it's really high importance of Hero/Elite Units on battlefield(which is not actually invent by MOBA's, because this idea belongs to RTS Type in core, but fucking braindead kiddos dont know shit about RTS genre history, and parroting everything that other autistic braindead MOBA MasterRace Phan say without getting basic knowledge about RTS) and MOBA similar Game Mode, which is still only a Game Mode, an Objective, I mean, it's not important at all in case of discussion about is this game good or not.

Someone's giving a shit that Deathmatch in Shootas is actually in MOBAs too? No. Did someone gave a shit that Capturing Point in DoW2 was taken from other games? No, but if did, he should make a little favor for world and kill himself.

>Holyshit DoW3 took MOBA style game mode of breaking through 3 lines, which force (ME) to use my remaining cells of fucking brain and invent some tactic. Horrific, how can I live with that? GOTTEN HIMMER THERE ARE MORE THAN 2 UNITS IN GAME!
>Inhales
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"RTS" Fan in nutshell.

>sisters of silence
i-i dont even know what that is im so out of the loop lately, is that in a recent codex update? Because I kinda gave up on SOB in WH when they pretty much wrote them out of the game itself removing them from the rules itself. They werent popular though but some of us liked them, just not enough I guess and the market speaks which I understand.

It's a laymen's RTS
Stop lying to yourself that this game is for fans of the previous titles

Oh, If you go straight bolter sisters they are pretty fragile, Celestians are much more tanky but you dont get them till tier 2, seraphims are great they are also fragile but have great mobility. Canonness is one of the best heros in the game, put her on ranged stance and give her the inferopistol

SoB really rely heavily on faith and faith abilities.

The game is literally a moba with 3 lanes, towers, inhibitors and a core, didnt you watch the livestream of the beta?

>Macha unmasked looks exactly the way /tg/ has drawn her for years.

>SoB really rely heavily on faith and faith abilities.
its really challenging to play as them which is maybe why I do it and from that grew a fondness for the faction in general since their mechanics like the tau are very different than the rest.

I just wish they kept going with the DC type of game model instead of changing it or I guess flat out ignoring it in later games.

Just google sister of silence. They are basically psyker hunters in 30k. They got models along with the adeptus custodes a few months back.

I didnt said it's for fans of previous titles, but we can take this topic on Workshop. You know how much there are fans of true RTS? Furthermore, a W40k Universe? Furthermore, a Tabletop Games Workshop games? Futhermore, a Tabletop games? Thousands of peoples I can show you on fingers of my feets and hands. It's incredibly stupid to make games for fans of previous titles, because there are not enough of them.

Everyone talks about DoW3 as a mix of DoW1 and DoW2, but it's wrong thinking. DoW3 should be placed along with DoW1 and DoW2 as 3th game style, as something new in DoW franchise. Yes, it have DoW1 base building, and have focusing on objectives like DoW2 had, not only annihilate, but it have Elite Units, forcing to use Micro, keeping your eye about macro, making split moves to make your goal. Hella, if people actually use their brains, summary everything they know about this game, and make rational proposal, DoW3 can be actually a Revive of RTS genre.

I didnt Pre-Order it yet, I'm waiting for Open Beta test for my final decision about it, but all of this sound good, and I belive in this game.
