Extremely dissapointing.

I was A HUGE fan of warhamme 1 + all extensions and warhammer 2.

This is absolutely not the same kind og game.

The solo is easy, scenario is really lazy. Strategy is boring, too much units have capacity. The graphics are almost like cartoon, not at all like warhammer. Most of the animations (special mention to Angelos) are ridiculous. Colors are too bright,
Base construction is minimal and not interesting.
I waited this game for years, and this is a big dissapointement. And this comes from a both of relic and warhammer.
IDK what happened, this is just sad, sad and boring.

If at least it would have advanced the story and background of the bloodravens... but it did not even do that.

The only, little interest, is in the multiplayer, which is acceptable. But i think most of the persons that plays dawn of war don't do it for the multiplayer. do they?

I am just sad for this game, this studio, and this license...

>>375485974
Base building or no base building, both can work as I enjoyed all three of the games.

DoW3 has teh exact same base building as DoW1, so I don't see what people are shitposting about.


I think it's a really good game. The campaign is long and doesn't cockblock other factions for Space Marines so hooray for that. Even if I'd rather have a full on Ork campaign, fuck the SM/Eldar autists, the Ork parts were an absolute blast.

There's more maps in it than in DoW2 and basically the satndard for any modern RTS games outside of those with randomly generated ones. It also has a map editor so the pool is most likeley going to expand with all the DoW1 favorites really soon.

The factions are diverse, more fun to play than in DoW1 (woo, I can't wait to hammer my R button for a minute to decide an engagement through sheer attrition) and have much more full rosters, not omitting random units because "lol, we ran out of space".

The graphics are up to date and the performance is also great despite the game being at least twice as big in scale as DoW1.

Persistent bodies are now also supplemented by persistent wrecakge, so the death carpets are all that more breathtaking.

UI scales well and you can change all sorts of shit in it form map placement to icons shown and even how the selection works. A welcome feature only Supreme Commander implemented as well for some reason.

Imo, the only thing that sucks is the forced mouse to scroll and the fact the music is really not audible most of the time, especially since the faction themes are top notch.


What in the everloving hell is everyone so adamant is absolutely wrong with this game?
It's literally an upgrade over DoW1.

DoW2 campaign was a blast (except for Retibution, that one kinda dropped the ball, imo), but it was a completely different kind of game altogether.
The game played more like a Commandos (nit neccessarily with the abilities but the overall scheme of always preparing and executing the next move against the backdrop of overwhelming opposition) game than an RTS game. Enjoyable for us, but I can definitely see where the people who were against it came from.

Heck, I played through the entire DoW2 + Chaos Rising campaign on brutal difficulty and a perfectly pure (no heretic armor/weapons) playthrough.
Still one of my favorite achievements in vidya.

I'll add a few:
- impossible to change keybinding
-impossible to change scroll speed (I swear, evertime I play it I notice how smow it is again)
-only 8 maps (though that's still 3 more than DoW2 on release)
-some of the VA is mediocre (but as you saif you almost can't here it in game) (there are still some great lines though, especially Devastators, Chaplain, Dread...)
I agree with the conclusion however, it's a great game and people shitting on it because "muh DoW1/DoW2" either don't have played these games or wear pink glasses

My main complaint isn't so much the MOBAAAAAAAAAA aspects of it but it's the uselessness of "line" units. Line units should be alive quite a bit longer, elites should not do as much damage OR elites should be bought like the other units, not elite points, making you choose between normal troops or an elite.

Depends if people keep playing it or not. DoW2 was crippled by GFWL but the game was good enough that when they fixed the issues with the first expansion it managed to gain a regular player base and long term sales. THQ also sabotaged all the DoW2 launches with region locking, not putting games on steam in certain regions and a variety of other things.

The core gameplay of DoW3 looks too bad, I don't see it being possible to fix with expansions like DoW2 issues were. If they had just taken DoW2, upgraded the game engine, added proper base building and more sensible resources I think it would have sold a few hundred thousand at launch.

DOW2 was a shittier game then DOW3 ever was.

-GFWL release fucked over multiplayer for ages.
-One race single-player campaign.
-Suppression so ridiculously strong, Ork, Nids and Eldar forced to use their teleport hero in multi to be competitive.
-Marines were tac spam with medic hero.
-Squad mechanics so unbalanced that marines, with very few units in a squad could literally let a tac go to 50% and heal up via medic and lose no effectiveness
-Vehicles so abysmally slow you only used transport to reinforce your squad
-99% of wargear was useless, so having this 'moba' element in DOW2 was useless.
-Suppression units having 45 degree+ arc in small 3 lane maps meant it was impossible to use flanking as a maneuver so Relic designed teleport units and hero's to make up for it.
-Game devolved into layered suppression platforms that were countered by multi-teleport units.
>>
>>375490051
If they had just taken DoW2 and upgraded its mechanics and graphics slightly, it wouldn't have been a RTS, but a RTT game, so it wouldn't appeal to the L33T "e-sports" crowd.

There's no way that is accurate, played DoW2 during the beta and remember 6k+ players online. Peak was something like 10k-15k around launch.

My guess is DoW3 sells a little more at launch but falls behind long term. However they probably sold 50%-80% less than if they had made a good game. There's atleast a few million DoW players, if they can't capture 20% of those at launch they fucked up.

Maybe early on, multiplayer changed dramatically later on. Everything was sorted out before the chaos expansion. What really screwed DoW2 over were the VPs and power generators. 1v1 always devolved into dancing around them. Flame weapons destroyed all generators in seconds destroying 3 gens + the node was typically enough to win against people of a similar skill. The difference in power resources always meant you could tech to level 2 before them.

2v2 and 3v3 usually worked out ok because it was much harder to kill multiple players generators just by dancing around.

Heres the real problems:

- 8 maps and they feel very samey. The game needs more than esports maps. DOW1 had some great maps that weren't competitive but were unique
- Lack of a way to play the game outside a barebones campaign and MP. SC2 has coop, a campaign with unique missions and progresion, AND the arcade. DoW2 had Last Stand and a much better campaign.

Which drives me mental cause I love the gameplay and art style. The fundamentals are there but there's just a serious lack if content.

It needs 2 years of DLC and updates - just like CoH2.

The lack of sync kills (at least as a toggle) sucks but they've definitely gone for their A-game with the animations in this gaeme, regardless.

They aren't that OP, they're fragile and need build up time to be effective.
Use Rangers/Scout Snipers and they should drop like flies.

Grots work well against Rangers, I doubt they would have the same impact on those flying shits though. It's easy for them to avoid being in melee, which is the reason why I don't know how Ork can counter them easily. Well placed Lootas/Heavy bolters would work too, I guess? With Scouts/Grots to give them sight if they flee?

DoW1, 2 and 3 army painters.
I guess anon's point is "you can't use halved/quartered pattern anymore", but he forgot to show the number of colors available in each game for it to be a fair comparison (RGB so every nuance possible in DoW1, far less colors in DoW2). He could probably even trash the game by showing a page with a lot of locked colors for instance

played 12 hours of multiplayer
dropping it because elites and activated abilities are the only thing that matters
squads that arent heavy infantry do fuck all damage while elites can easily solo 3-4 squads early game

its just a matter of shitting out your elites as early as possible and not get hit by the enemies elites so you can claim the resource points and win because the enemy is too power starved to produce high tier units

>>375494925
In every DoW, including 3, the Army Painter has always been "Nearly But Not Quite." 1 was probably the most ridiculous by only ever allowing you to see the test scheme on two units - one infantry, one vehicle. 2 did good with the "patterns," yet I somehow always felt like I couldn't quite get what I wanted with the materials. I'd still probably rate it the best of the 3. As for 3, it's great for demonstrating your scheme, and the presets already cover all the canon chapters I ever wanted (even Space Sharks and MY BOYS, HOLY SHIT, THE FUCKING HAMMERS OF DORN). But it's lacking splits, so no Howling Griffs or my other boys the Novamarines.

In all cases, Dark Angels are still unanimously Greenwing, which is a damn shame. I'm not far into DoW3 yet, but I assume the lack of elites on the preview list means they get custom skins, so hopefully I can make white Deathwing there.
>>
I think multiplayer 1vs1 plays alright and I like how the races are structured in general, especially eldar. Everything looks a little too much like its made of plastic and I really dont know what were they thinking with such a shitty progression system but then again its relic so they just HAVE to fuck up here in there.

Campaign is absolutely awful, I thought I would get a bunch of skulls for finishing but istead you get some for finishing each mission and thats it.

The fact that resource points are so easily harassed kind of makes up for the whole "moba buildings" thing. The game has potential, will probably improve with expansions

If your units do nothing you're either not aware upgrades exist or have them do 50% damage against an armor type that hard counters them.

Quite the contrary, this game has done orks better than any vidya in teh existence of this God-forsaken IP.

nah, I agree with everything else you said but I can't let you say it's DoW1 system.
DoW1 had a bland "if you are in the area you take -X% damage". It was atmospheric though.
Bubbleshields make for interesting defense points but ultimately they're garrisonable buildings++, with the added benefit that "first in wins" is no more.
Stealth bushes are pretty interesting, but lead to some CREEEEEEED moments with super units hiding in them
I think mechanically the cover system is alright, they just need to add a property to super-units to make stealth cover useless for them (it's not like you really need stealth when those hit the field anyway).
There's no way a DoW2/CoH style cover system would work on that scale that's for sure.

This is what gets me, right here. If you get enough stupid fucks to buy your game temporarily you still make free money on the interest.

All you need is access to a hedge fund, a few million people to 'believe' your product is good,

You're still set.

>Quite the contrary
I sorta agree, sorta don't. While you are correct on both your points, grabbing plasma guns on a tac squad gives all 5 plasma guns. Which is absurd. Same with all ass marines getting power swords x5. Also mechanics like Mass Recall, which is literally teleporting your entire army somewhere - despite teleporting being one of the most dangerous and undesirable tactics there is in 40k, with the few teleporters there are being given to things that can't afford alternative deployments, like terminators into and through space hulks (and also allows the chapter to teleport out slain terminators to recover the armor, in some editions of space hulk).

Space marines lacking transports is another huge flaw. Especially the lack of Land Raiders.

Of course, the game benefits from tactical drop pods, orbital strikes, and a far more expansive unit array. There's hits and misses.

I'm enjoying it, it's not bad, but so far I definitely preferred DoW2.
I don't know why everyone wanted base building and tons of units when it doesn't really fit many races. I really liked the DoW2 feel of having powerful and precious units that you have to micro all the time and that you upgrade along the way.
So far the only mission that made me feel like I was actually commanding elite space marines is the one where Angelos gets deep "stroke" with 3 terminators and you fight two entire armies.

The worst thing is the awful quality, I played this $20 russian strategy game Syrian Warfare it has better gameplay mechanics, animations and fully destructible buildings. DoW3 is just not acceptable for a $60 game. If they tried something ambitious but failed like DoW2 did I would be more forgiving. It's really not ok for a full price game to be comparable to something 10 Russians made without a publisher.

Why don't they just make Starcraft but with Warhammer 40k units?

This whole thing about the consumers trashing it is from metacritic? You mean like how Sonybuddies went full autism and left a ton of 0 pt reviews on metacritic?

Both the RTS and DoW community have some serious autism and sperg triggers. At first I thought it was the normies that bought the game (you know, the ones whose dollar matters?), but now I see it's just a bunch of keyboard warriors that fear change.

If they were going make it this bad, it should have remained as a single building. At least then it wouldn't have to be brought up repeatedly that they do not have reasonable base building.

An end game base should have a dozen buildings or more in a proper RTS. Resource buildings, production facilities, multiple different tech and upgrade structures, and defensive buildings.

Worse, knowing Canadian companies, Relic will stick their fingers in their ears and all of the legit complaints will be ignored along with the insipid vitrol about the visuals and "moba things". Doctrines and elites will be here to stay, key-rebinding would still be omitted, and escalation (the worst thing i feel about the game mode) railroads every match. I wish these issues can be addressed in a new expansion (maybe re-record some unit lines too) but the cynic tells me nothing will change in an expansion other than some new armies.

I don't like it as much as DoW 1.

DoW 1 had longer fights, special animations, persistent corpses, better sounds for almost everything but bolters, better animations, more factions at launch, magnitudes more maps, much better voice acting and a great campaign.

Playing DoW 3 just makes me want to play DoW 1 so I do. The first time I saw guardsmen in the DoW3 campaign with their awful animations and stupid looking tracers I just knew this game wasn't going to grow on me much. Not saying DoW3 is a bad game but I wish it were something else because it's not what I'm looking for.

I know, I was part of the forums who managed that, t1 units had it removed yet a single model unit in a t1 squad that's easily replaceable being locked in animation under hyper armor got its synckills removed than a commander who's a single model squad doesn't, do you know why? because its one of the things that made the franchise great, seeing a lord commisar locked in animation as it rips apart a warboss with a power claw. Its willing to make exceptions for the atmosphere of the game and that's what made dow such a fun franchise to play. Dow 3 threw away a beloved aspect of the franchise just to streamline it, what's next? gonna remove specials and the melee skill counter too? oh wait they already removed that.

Sync kills are amazing for the first 2 or three times and get really dull afterwards.
This is not Mortal Kombat where that thing triggers after a long battle and you absolutely want to rub your victory in.

It's just mobs and it gets pretty infuriating when it starts happening to the bigger units like Squiggoths I remember doing nothing throwing enemies around while the AI massacred my orks in Winter Assault.
>>
>>375513812
I wouldn't mind taking stuff out, so long as they put in something else to replace it. What they did replace it was with e-sports; they tried to make this a competitive and balanced game (lets face it, you cant balance sync kills - you need to give bullshit invincibility or have that unit stand still and take damage) with skillshots and good to watch with escalation phases. But the threadbare replay mode, bad menus, and other annoyances kills any joy being a spectator in these matches more than anything.

what? also, sync kills weren't everywhere before,, because alot of factors deal with its exsitence, like the difference in melee skill, in unit tier difference, the status of the opposing squad, etc. it was a rare occurrence and thus a treat whenever people get to see it, its just that t1 units tend to shred models and most econ based games tend to focus around the preservation of t1 models. hyper armor is the thing that keeps a model alive as its locked in animation. its the natural boon given when a model can't be controlled, also synckills doesn't remove your ability to control that squad, it only locks a single model in animation. if you have a seer council, if one got a synckill with a inquisitor, you can still freely give commands to the rest of the squad. Its just that the one model will be locked a second long animation. I've played the game for 2.4 thousand hours and it has never bothered me, its one of the things that made me love the dow franchise in the first place, I could never see someone being serious when they talk down about the existence of dow's synckills.

There's plenty of art and lore bits in the core rulebooks and codices to justify Solara. Same for female farseers.

Still, her inclusion seems to be a symptom of "your guys" when it comes to anything not part of the codex books; because its "your" own fiction or head-cannon for a story written in the 40k universe or a custom SM chapter etc. you have the freedom to put whatever you fucking want in the setting. The licensed properties and Black Library books consistently portray a much more diverse Imperium, everything from female Techpriests and Naval officers to armies of black or hispanic Guardsmen and all sorts of other people (because the authors are cuckholds). And everyone has forgotten Tallarn. The Eldar always had warrior women in the form of banshees but recent times have had male banshees show up in Eternal Crusade and even forge world models.

tldr: There are no female space marines but everything else is fair game. Do what you want with your own shitty custom army or fanfic.
>>
>>375515578
>recent times have had male banshees show up
The 2nd edition Eldar codex talks about male banshees. Diversity in 40k isn't some new thing, the Imperium has had females at all levels of power for a long time. If you're only noticing their presence now it's probably because you're more sensitive to it.

a squad isn't a unit you idiot.
an avatar's damage isn't its strong point, its splash isn't even that strong to begin with,
you use your avatar as a platform for the auras, a way to harass vehicles, and gives you two powerful ways to disperse infantry blobs for your melee squads to then wipe. anyone who uses the avatar for aa squads is a retard and shouldn't even be complaining about competition.

the only time it was removed was with t1 units, elite even brought it back but instead made it about the melee skill differences hence why you can see commander units being able to get synckills against t1 untis or banshees being able to synckill sm and gm.
>>
I don't get it, what's the matter with GFWL (Games for Windows Live right?)?
>>
>>375515797
I believe it's more visible because 40k works featuring what we call "diverse" characters have their creators explicitly note how they're "diverse" by our standards. Eg, instead of letting the Solaria thing sit and leave refutation to fans who know the material (like the Codex Astartes supporting that action), Relic made it a point in PR and in story to note that female Knights do exist.

Not as far as the codex is concerned. I don't hate her because I think she fits the setting, but I know i will never see a codex entry nor forge world model for her anytime soon.

I'm uncertain that we have the same idea of what cannon is. Angry marines can field a totally tournament-legal army and still have the fluff of marines afflicted by coprolalia and excess of brutality. But said chapter is filled with so comic and camp characters and stories it really clashes with more serious stories and chapters. Cannon doesn't mean pick and choose, but to maintain consistency so that the few bits of spectacular, dramatic or even funny things actually mean something. When done right, even the most cartoonist of races and armies can be a serious addition to the universe.

I don't disagree with the CYOA sentiment but understand that GW holds the keys and is their job to set the tone of things. They could turn it into fucking sunshine and ponies (See Age of Sigmar) if they wanted. Hell they're making a real effort to turn away from grimdark with Gathering Storm. Ultimately what they do however is irrelevant to whatever fluff and stories people have written already.

Imperial Knights are about as complicated to them as Rhinos or Leman Russ tanks. They can make any number they want, wherever they want.

The trick here is that these machines (see that chainsaw? That's meant to cut down trees for the colony) are the end-all of everything on these backwater worlds. As such, the nobility plays Mechwarrior until Imperium arrives and tells them to play by their rules or lose their precious toys.

There are specific patterns of these things made for Forge World - affilated worlds as well.

The armour just looks like it's come straight outta the factory, no usage or battle marking at all. Stupid really when the armour is reused time and time again

You build a base, collect resources, research upgrades, build up an army of about 300 units and win by defeating the enemy in battle.

There are also no AI controlled creeps, no last hitting, no items to buy at shops, no levels, no XP system to unlock abilities,...

It's also upheld by an entire team of lunatic technicians who have all the time in teh world to polish the shit out of it as it is the sole reason of their miserable existence.

Formula 1 cars are also extensively used but they don't look like shit because they have the machinery behind them to make them look their best for the race.
It's literally the same with any Space Marines that have freshly landed on the planet which is exactly the case with your units in this game.
