Just finished the campaign, for the faults this game has it does have a good story. Nice to see Gabriel still being his usual self pissing off the Inquisition. Some surprises I wasn't expecting such as Taldeer returning, Gorgutz winning Soulstorm and taking the Spear of Khaine, Diomedes is a Chaplain, Necrons after the credits.

The thing is the game isn't even nearly as bad as /v/ makes it out to be, or everyone else. It's just that the marketing and PR was so astronomically bad that it turned everyone off completely, the artstyle isn't even an issue once you really get stuck into battle, it's really improved since the first screens they've shown, but what they've done is too little too late and they've already killed too much hype.

which makes the fact i like it so much even more painful

Yeah, I know, but it's still pretty solid. It feels more like a beta though than a finished game. But it's still a blast. It's just that Dawn of War has a reputation as a GREAT series, and 3 is just "sort of good"

Though if a game isn't astronomical it's not worth /v/'s time.

>>375978931

The problem is they're charging a premium for a game that feels unfinished, and is just OK.

>>375977159
So hows the grind for elites and shit op? Does it extend into the other shit too (army doctrines or something? I forgot).

>>375979123

It's really fast if you just play campaign missions. You can get skulls and elite XP from replaying missions not just MULTIPLAYER

It's fun unlocking stuff for elites to use, a bit annoying for the perfect doctrine setups though. And yeah doctrines, some cost skulls, about 50 each. A lot are inconsequential but some a real game changers.

>>375979485
How's the campaign? Worth replaying? Compared to 1/2 +expansions?

Game is actually that bad for a Relic RTS 40k game.

When you are relic and you make a 40k RTS called Dawn of War 3, you are setting yourself up for having to meet certain expecations. Relic failed hard to meet many of this expecations.

If this was just some random RTS made by some other company and it wasn't set up as a 40k game then yeah, this game likely wouldn't get as shit on even though it still has many fundamental flaws. But that isn't the case and the game deserves the shit it gets, really.

Look at this nu-Relic faggot. The faggots on the team act like they know what players want more than the players want. DoW 3 is such a step backwards in so many aspects compared to its predecessors.

>>375977159
Are the orks even fun to play as? They were the only campaign I played through in DoW2, apart from Tyranids.

Wait there ISN'T a 4th faction? I was avoiding the news until now, what the fuck are they doing?

>>375980804
Relic fucked up so bad they aren't posting player stat and instead posted those lame "THIS IS HOW MANY IN GAME UNITS DIED LAST WEEK!!!!" stats so that they could show off a big number despite no one playing their shit game.

3 factions only is simply a travesty.
i can(barely)pass over the jumping terminator suits, the goofy animations, the terrible plot, the moba elements but...
3 factions? full price? one single multiplayer mode?
No thanks.
Ill just wait for the eventual" Dow3: soulstorm retribution"on a steam sale. Maybe the game will be worth its price by then.

At the very least in Relic's defense they were honest about the game's development all the way through and didn't just withhold everything about the game besides the trailer to trick people.

That's really all I can give them, besides at least that I love the gore effects.

I like how a 4.8 metacritic score is labeled as "generally unfavorable reviews".

>>375982279
What gore effects? You mean the shitty blood patches they splatter here and there?

>>375981621

I agree on negative points anon, but I hate seeing anons parrot shit.

>jumping terminators
None of the actual ingame terminators jump. And from what I've seen ingame, Gabriel's armor is 'terminator' in name only. It seems heavily modified, and the jumping supposedly comes from Godsplitter. That's my justification for it.

>Goofy animations
Haven't seen anything like that so far. They've since toned down and refined some of it since the first footage. But for Orks it's still goofy, but that should be fitting.

>Terrible plot
Really just a retread of DoW1's plot. It's not bad, just bland. But it has golden moments, especially Ork missions.

>MOBA Elements
Debunked many times. It does take 'inspiration' from MOBAs but it's definitely not one at any rate at all.


And before some anon calls me a shill, yes, the game is still unfinished and kind of shitty. Wait for more content and a sale.

Yes? They're cool. Units actually streak blood, get sawed in half, and explode into organs, with physics effects. They even bounce when Superheavy Elites walk by. It's basically a refinement of what I loved about DoW1.

>>375982642
>It seems heavily modified, and the jumping supposedly comes from Godsplitter. That's my justification for it.
>>375982642

Literally, watch Angelos walk and tell me thats not goofy.
It takes a lot from Warcraft cartoonish animations, but its just unfitting for a warghammer game. a lot of animations are fine, but its basically a hit or miss with the animations in this game.
>>375982642
>Really just a retread of DoW1's plot. It's not bad, just bland. But it has golden moments, especially Ork missions.
still its not good. saying dow 1 wasnt better doesn't change it.

AND YES, THE GAME HAS FUCKING MOBA ELEMENTS.
I>>375982642
>It does take 'inspiration' from MOBAs
you just literally said that.
i never stated it is a moba, but it cant be denied it takes various elements from the genre.

But as i already said, I would have got it because I need to satisfy my 40k need(and it also look kinda fun), but just 3 races playable is a fucking theft

>>375982805
Are you playing the same game as me? In DoW 3 units just fall over dead. It's fucking shit. And the complete removal of sync kills was a mistake.

Champions are classified as "nuker" "tank" "support" who use Q W E R skill shot abilities to lane clear enemy minion squads as they work past a turret towards the enemy ancient to win the game.... but it's not a moba guys!

Then you probably have physics turned off. Or you're parroting.

I saw a Nob's head literally explode and he fell over backwards. I saw an Ork's body go stiff and then fall over after a delay. I saw a Banshee slice an Ork boy in half.

One of the few things I enjoy about 3 is that it satiates how much I loved seeing corpse littered battlefields from 1.

>>375983201

>Literally, watch Angelos walk and tell me thats not goofy.
It takes a lot from Warcraft cartoonish animations, but its just unfitting for a warghammer game. a lot of animations are fine, but its basically a hit or miss with the animations in this game.

I do agree on Angelos, his strides are a bit too bouncy. But Warcraft took it's inspiration for it's style from early years versions of Warhammer and 40k where it was more lighthearted. Besides Gabriel though I don't see any animations that are out of place. Orks have the best ones though, arguably the best in the series. The Boyz actually cheer and throw up their fists and choppas and are extremely animated while running, standing still, fighting, or doing anything really, even their breathing is extremely animated.

Seeing as how MOBAs are just based on a version of modded RTS, in the end doesn't that make MOBA elements just RTS elements? I don't really get the whole buzzwordiness behind the name. The enemy doesn't gain cash or XP from killing your elites. There are no in match levelling.

I feel like the game certainly has a lot of room for improvement and can definitely be improved and even salvaged into the game a lot of people wanted it to be, with a little effort. Unlike how /v/ always just throws up their arms and says 'it's shit' and just dumps games at the drop of a hat.

I wish I didn't have to grind elites for doctrines.

>>375984394
>Orks have the best ones though, arguably the best in the series.
agree on this. I love how every vehicle looks like they are held tpogheter by will alone.
>>375984394
>But Warcraft took it's inspiration for it's style from early years versions of Warhammer and 40k where it was more lighthearted

Warcraft was literally warhammer fantasy, before it evolved into his own thing.
but it was fitting 25 years ago, definetely not now. Im okay with more colours on a wh game-expecially an rts, where a more varied colour palette makes for both more variety and more reconizable elements(like shots, units, etc)tho.
>>375984394
>Seeing as how MOBAs are just based on a version of modded RTS, in the end doesn't that make MOBA elements just RTS elements?
Mobas have a complete different pace and strategies from "regular rts".
As I said, im not bothered by it too much, I just kinda hate the focus on heroes.

I can't understand how anyone thought it was a possibility.

Nice surprises arent Relics style and they're looking for ways to further monetise their games after DoWIIs ridiculously priced DLC made them more profit than the actual game. They would also never risk the bad PR if they had more content up their sleeves to boost pre-orders and day 1 sales. If anything they would go the Total War route and offer an additional race as a preorder bonus or day 1 DLC.

I have to admit though the Beta was fun, I enjoyed the multiplayer despite the issues. Is the lack of content the only problem people have? There is some balancing to be done and game is janky with the whole escalating phases thing. But it's not a bad game and for people who found DoWII painfully slow and overly simplified, this brings the interaction and micro game up a bit.

>>375979569
Campaign can let you level up certain heros crazy fast, but other wise its just ok. I hate playing Eldar in Campaign though, they feel squishy as fuuuuck.

>>375978445

>hurr durr I hope Relic will go bankrupt in 2 years
>hurr durr [insert Relic game here] will definitely bankrupt Relic in 2 year.
>hurr durr the game will be dead in more than a year.

And the company is still prevail. Why is /v/ so wrong many time?

>>375993080
DESU though I am concerned that Relic is gonna get fucked in the ass. All of their games past CoH have been met with decent critical reception and massive community backlashes and they seem to rely on long-term sale of DLCs to get the userbase that trickles in through discounts and sales.

I feel like DoW 3 was a product of a lot of compromises in their budget and timing. I think they weren't really capable of making something they envisioned in mind so created a game that tries to go around it. Game is a mechanically simpler and they skimmed out on the fluffy Relic touches like Hours of voice works and sync kills (Which, I believe, are kind of a waste of resources, but neat to see they try nonetheless)

>>375988538
Lack of content and polish is really the only proper issue to be had with the game.

Balance issues exist in any game so it's hardly worth mentioning.
The framework for a fun and overarching multiplayer is there. Just need the armies really. Though there's tons of tailoring each of the 3 to your own playstyle as is.
There's a progression system with the elites but it really is very fast and feels pretty hollow. The core gameplay is fun.

>>375994662
My biggest concern is the pacing of 1v1 games. Feels like most matches are basically decided around the 15 minute mark where a reasonably sized engagements can occur. It's rare to see people properly skirmish each other with minimal losses until the late game.

They put so many mechanics within the game to prevent snowballing, but it still feels like the war is basically over the moment you lose the first big battle.

So, there is no DLC? I'm thinking about buying it because while i love starcraft, i suck at it, i need something more casual

>>375993945
>[As bored as humanly possible] Order received. -TAC

>>375994934
Im a scrub playing against scrubs so most of what i see is mostly even trades until a certain tipping point around the 10 minute mark and one side folds.
2v2s and 3v3s have at least one or two people turtle nonstop until they try to blob into the enemy tower. Which is super easy to counter if you see it coming.

>>375995952
Weirdly enough I think the Eldar voices are pretty good. Nothing will beat DoW 2s Warlock in my mind bit they are a lot punchier and distinct in my mind overall.
