Isn't it funny how no ones talking about it? It just came out lol

A few people have, I've been seeing it mentioned here and there. It looks like a moba, and I still haven't seen any videos that can deflect that observation. Wasn't made for fans of the games, that much is apparent.

>>375798254

It looks like a moba by having nothing in common with mobas.

Really made me think.

Its dead now.

Only 169k sales.

>>375798404
That's a lot better than the previous ones.

No popular games are discussed here. When do you ever see cod, fifa, battlefield, lol, battlegrounds, gta etc threads?

You don't, it's always indie stuff no one's heard of

>>375798471

It is, but for a hyped game thats not even a week out, thats pretty bad.

I hope they add new factions quick.

I'm waiting for the version with all the expansions, like I did with DoW and DoW 2

Coincidentally, the day it was released, I played my first game of the Table top. It cemented my love for Necrons. Fuck you Tau Sniper, shoot me down and I get back up.

>>375798542

Hyped game? They had literally no marketing of any sort besides word of mouth.

The only marketing they had was when they announced it, then the game completely fell off the planet.

>>375798520

More like games that /v/ agrees is shit never gets discussed here, which is why you never get Fallout 4 threads and yet New Vegas has been circle jerked here for almost a decade.

And yes DoW3 is mediocre as fuck, so dont expect further discussions.

>>375798372
It's a RTS/Moba mix.

Moba style heroes and bases with a very bland, very boring RTS. They thought people wanted Mobas, but also RTS, so they had the 'genius' idea of mixing them together.

It could have worked. If the game was actually good.

As it is, it is empty, bland, repetitive, horrendous and poor.

>>375798668
>Moba styled heroes

They don't level up, they don't have "gold" and they don't buy items, only upgrades from the base.

How in the living hell are units with abilities like MOBA heroes? Powerful units with powerful abilities have existed in DoW since the first fucking game. Need I remind you of Taldeer and the Necron Lord?

>>375798668

Read >>375798774. They are not even comparable to WC3 heroes who at least leveld up and had gear.

In DoW the heroes are literally just exclusive strong units with stronger abilities.

>>375797995
Honestly, the game is a mess, its riddled with bugs, its pretty clear that the frankenstein monster of a game they have built from the two incomplete versions was rushed to shit and barely playtested. The game will seriously need at least two expansion packs before its fixed.

Back in wc3, before dota, i would play melee vs the computer 6v5 but just play my hero and sit a building somewhere in an allies base. Before i even know what a moba was i played some gimped version of it. I would do it in games like starcraft, homeworld, C&C, any rts really just pilot 1 ship and try to make an impact on this huge battle the ai was having. i made a moba out of an rts and it didnt really work because of all the things that a real moba has to make it interesting.

To me dow3 is the opposite of that, if some one took a moba and made an rts out of it. Like if youre playing dota and you could control the little mobs that ran around, i mean yeah it would change the game heavily you could do all sorts of shit like mass units and micro siege machines but it wouldn't really work because the mechanics are not there. The fundamentals of rts are completely missing

Its possible to have fun with the multiplayer but its not worth 60 dollars.

>>375798774
Disciplines and Elites are locked behind a "skull"-point system until you play enough multiplayer games to unlock each unit and discipline.

So if you "invest" your skulls in one faction and want to play another faction? Well fuck you, you have to unlock everything in that faction and have to drag through games with the base elites until you earn enough skulls.

Meaning, you can't be on even fucking footing with an opponent until you've grinded several games. It's a shit League of Legends system where they need artificial "progression" motivators that actually have an impact on beginner play and it can fucking burn in hell forever. And given that the single player is completely non-existant, the only saving grace of this game is multiplayer, the "primary" format of the game.

>But it gives experienced players motivation to play so they can stomp poorly equipped newbs into the ground.
FUCK THAT

Fuck you Relic. Fuck you for becoming another company that produces Games Workshop cancer. I don't even give a fuck if your game is good.

This was fun to do in total annihilation with the track feature. Once you established build orders and commands from your base, you could easily take the role of a unit and micromanage it into the enemy base. Ironically, units leveled in ta.

It has no lanes because it has no creeps.
Its not focused on the hero characters because they do not grow in power throughout the game, and are not mandatory to play, let alone win.

>>375802246

But it has no lanes, there are no minions going into the grinder. It has lanes as much as any other rts has lanes because somewhere your units have to walk and sometimes those places have chokepoints and sometimes it has open spaces.

OMG TOWERS IN A RTS, quick send a message to literally every rts ever that they are a moba now. OMG HERO CHARACTERS Fucking wc3 moba game

Its not even proper hero characters, its just stronger units you deploy since there is no lvling or gearing ingame.

>set up just like a moba

What the fuck does that even mean.

>>375802176
>>375802206
Wc3 was a hero based rts, DOW3 definitely blurs the line.

>>375802451

I wouldn't say it blurs the line, its more the imbalance the heroes bring since when they hit the field they are fucking monsters.

Considering the escalation phases, i would much prefer if heroes started out weaker and "leveled" up during each escalation.

>>375802451
Sure, because this is the era of herohammer, wherein named characters are vital to the game.

So it fits the tabletop if anything.

>>375802448
It means the game is a bastard combination of RTS and MOBA.

>>375802789
>You mean playing any of the other RTS where you could succesfully bunker up?
which are literally no good ones because in non-point based games you snowball much harder?

>>375802789
In a normal RTS if you have horribly lost the early game you're just going to get steamrolled and the game ends very quickly. But in DoW3 because of the mega MOBA towers, that doesn't happen. They forcibly drag out the game that should have already been over.

>>375802861

You literally snowball just as hard. You can snowball even more in WH with the new escalation bullshit that magnifies resource gain from points.

Net sales increased by $11.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the same period last year primarily due to high unit sales of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade and sales of Company of Heroes, a real-time-strategy game with premium PC pricing that we released in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Make the game bad I mean

>>375803357
I have played plenty of Dota back in the days, I can definitely see some parallels, that were admitted to by Relic. This was never in debate.

It remains that DoW 3 is not a MOBA. By and large, it is the closest we got to a simulation of the tabletop in real time. Which means that the main characters are notably powerful, with some of them capable of destroying squads single handed. They may also grant benefits to their armies.

It still lacks a true sense of progression ingame, and heroes are not necessary to play or win.

>>375804189
I disagree, the fuck up came with how they went about it

>>375804292
> By and large, it is the closest we got to a simulation of the tabletop in real time

Disregarding the map layout and towers I think it would have worked if the heros came out later in the game, getting backflipping chaptermasters when you only have 2-3 squads in the early game just doesn't work. I have not played table top in like 7 years but from memory you cant have some one like abandon lead a force of less then 1500 points

>>375804534
Obviously the game was adapted to fit a RTS model. Also, Herohammer and all that.

With that in mind, it is true the system is made both far too simple and too reliant on micro to be worthwhile. Since a RTS would not really fit a points system, and going the way of Steel Division would mean dragging on the game, a compromise was found. A compromise targeted around esports, perhaps.

Maybe the relics from DoW1 would have helped balance things along, but at this point in time, better to wait if the gameplay evolves and more importantly if the roster is filled up. Both in terms factions and units for every faction.

How come no one's ever made a turn based strategy game like the tabletop?

>>375804892
It does exist. Tabletop Simulator does it, and Sanctus Reach draws a lot from it.

But the real reason is proablably that the system is bloated, reliant on diceroll to a degree that would make even X-COM blush, and prone to overly complex mechanics along with poor balance.

>>375804892

>We only wanted Dawn of War 1 with update graphics/more units. = carefully handcrafted burger by a trained sandwich artista

Instead we got the tiny white dick of nu-relic (=dawn of war 3) with its moba balance and artstyle.

Multiplayer is imbalanced as fuck. Lack of turrets and shitty listening posts makes gathering resources into one shitty mess. Game becomes pointless, when you combine that to the fact, that costly units cost a shitloads of resources and only serve as cannonfodder. Also the micromanagement is fucking insane. Single-player campaign is very mediocre and linear, when compared to DoW 2 and it's expansions or DC and SS. And propably nothing will be fixed, because the sales are so low.

That beign said the game is not a moba, it's just clueless clusterfuck of an rts, that takes worst parts of DoW 1 and 2 combines them into grotesque abortion of a game.

I cant disagree with anything you are saying but in the end of the day the $/ (hours of fun) ratio is just not worth it for me

>>375805202
Well I will wait and see. It looks like it has potential, if SEGA and Relic add much to it.

Or maybe if modding is a possibility, it might get better. I hate the idea of relying on mods though.

For single-player, I just wanted DC/SS metamap, with DoW 2's hero progression and loot system with Retribution style unlockable army. Instead we got this linear "story" campaign with no story. What a wasted opportunity.

Literally based off an internal F2P moba
Poor quality graphics, design, audio
Not warhammer
Microtransactions
Experience and unlocks that persist outside of a single game
Designed to appeal to a wider audience

>>375802346
No DC was shit, the community abandoned it for a reason. SS is widely considered the best game in the series.

2/10 Made me reply.

>IT HAS LANES!
You mean those paths of attacks of varying distances that are in all RTS maps.
>IT HAS TOWERS!
A Relic RTS that deters the idea of a "rush" with all the early game units? Totally surprised.
>THE WIN CONDITION!
Eh, I'll kinda give this one. The singular game mode out seems more like something that should be an "alternative" game mode than THE ONLY ONE.
>FOCUS ON HERO CHARACTERS!
Hero units seem unbalanced and don't feel good to play against.

What irks me is the skull system.
>You know what RTS players love? GRINDING TO UNLOCK ALL THE OPTIONS, and not having the same options as the people they're playing against! Want to play a different faction? I hope you enjoy being locked into a shitty playstyle because you don't have the skulls to buy things that make you different from everything other shitter who just decided they wanted to play orks.

>>375805145
What about the people who wanted more Dawn of War 2? It seems like they tried to appease both groups and fucked it up in a huge way by not realising what everybody liked about each game.

>IT HAS LANES!
>You mean those paths of attacks of varying distances that are in all RTS maps.
thats a legitimate complaint though, map designs are pretty bad

>>375805498
>Literally based off an internal F2P moba
No. It's based on DoW 1 and 2, in very wrong way.
>Poor quality graphics, design, audio
Graphics aren't bad. Audio is fine. Get better comp.
>Not warhammer
There is lot of wh40k feeling in it. It might actually be the only thing that it gets right.
>Microtransactions
There is none.
>Experience and unlocks that persist outside of a single game
Literally pointless, that unlocks mostly cosmetic (and pointless) stuff. A far more shittier system than you can imagine.
>Designed to appeal to a wider audience
No it doesn't. It doesn't appeal to anyone. Relic really messed this one up.

Howerer there is lot of valid critism to DoW 3 and I wouldn't recommend that game to anyone. Your critism makes game seem far less shit than it actually is.

>>375805991
I won't say map design is good. But just spouting "It has lanes", isn't useful information.

>>375805823
I played like 4 online games and did the campaign and I've already got all the elites and doctrines I want for two factions with some spare skulls left over for when I feel like playing the third.

On this specifically, you're full of shit. Compared to the previous games, the voice work is complete garbage.

You may not give a shit but don't try to push the idea that it's "fine".

Stfu. Watch the making of video where the devs confirm my points.

Bright chink moba knock off is not warhammer. Voice acting is generic and shit. Fonts, shaders and animations are god awful. And the whole thing reeks of esports.

I dont really understand people that say the game looks fine or even good.

It literally looks like Dota 2 met LoL animations. Its fucking awful, the effects everywhere are cartoony as shit. Yeah it might be fine for a Moba or ... well even starcraft, but it sure as fuck doesnt look 40k.

DoW 2 looks MUCH better.

>>375806307
Voice acting is mediocre, I agree, but outside few actors such as one for original Gabriel it's always been mediocre. Still it's miles better than in SS (while SS is actually good game). But audio in it's whole is fine (that includes music and sound effects). See I said, fine, not poor or great, but fine.

>>375805823
>A Relic RTS that deters the idea of a "rush" with all the early game units? Totally surprised.
I never got this. The game starts at 0:00. What the fuck is the problem of a game that starts immediately rather than after 15 minutes of skirmishing that ultimately achieves nothing? Why is Tier 1 in RTS always so fucking limited?

Give me a broad fucking selection of T1 ffs.

>>375806690
>outside few actors such as one for original Gabriel it's always been mediocre

Well that's just bullshit. The voice acting before was over the top and cheesy as fuck, which fit the games, and the setting, to a T. It wasn't just how the lines were written, but the delivery itself, that made so much of the voice work memorable.

Compare almost any of the unit quotes and you'll see what I mean - it's a big step down in thematics and characterization. Orks suffer less from this, admittedly.

>Still it's miles better than in SS

This is how I know you're out of your godamn mind.

What bothers me more than anything is the comically exaggerated animations. Everyone is swinging around like their arms were made out of noodles.

>>375806415
>Bright chink moba knock off
Funny thing is that, that it's so bad, that it might actually be better if it was moba knock off. DoW 3 is combination of elements, that don't work together at all. It's just shit.

>Voice acting is generic and shit. Fonts, shaders and animations are god awful
The game is shit, but critique it for right reasons at least. It seems like you would be nitpicking a little things from otherwise perfect game. But the game is not perfect, it has real big problems, that can never be fixed in any patch. It's complete mess of a shit.

>And the whole thing reeks of esports.
It's never gonna be esports. The game is way too broken to even manage to become esport game.

Voice acting of SS became "good" when it was made into memes. Before that it was so horrible, that it almost ruined the otherwise great game.

>>375797995
It's garbage and DOA, as everyone knew it would be since gameplay footage with final visuals was released.

And I'm a big wh40k fan.

>>375807772
I have started painting.

I painted the base coat by hand. Don't have the picture, but i used a dull gold and red colour scheme.

I did the THIN YOUR PAINT stuff though.

>>375807772
>Attach the limbs after painting the torso

You should try to give useful advice - such as not inserting the Gauss flayer rods until you've finished painting.

>>375800090
You can ask for that.

>>375808224
The paint scheme I went with required painted gauss flayers rods.
