This is why you don't release multiplayer focused strategy games.

>>377314516
No, it's just why you don't release SHIT games

>>377314516

You can't satisfy the DoW crowd no matter what you do. As it stands DoW3 is a solid singleplayer game and a good multiplayer game, just like every other in the series.

>>377314670
It doesn't matter if the game is shit or good.
There are many shitty games on steam top 10 right now.

>>377314716
That's the most bullshit excuse I've ever heard.
So it was just the 'players' fault?
Jesus fucking christ, the game failed. Get over it.
So what if it had alot of shit. None of that shit was apparently thought of as above average by most of the players.
I mean come on. You could equip flamers or plasma on tacticals, but sniper or meltas are a different unit? That's lazy, pure and simple. And a poor excuse at having more than half the units that are actually in the game.
And the elite system? It's literally has phone app tier level of commitment.

This game doesn't do ANYTHING particularly well. Not enough to warrant 60$.

And this doubling down, 'it's the players fault' bullshit every shill needs to spout in order to save some face for DoW3 is doing nothing but alienating anyone who actually WANTED this game.
How do you think all the players who paid full price feel about it going to 30$?

>>377314915

To be honesty the balance isn't very bad, it's just the meta for each race is so strong that there no point in trying other things.

No, because they never did.

>>377315450

Aside from being overpriced a lot of the shitflinging is undeserved. It's not a bad game by any means, and like every DoW title it will get expansions and future content that will improve the game.

>>377316384
They did and expansions were icing on the cake, not mandatory paid content to make the game playable after purchasing it.

Wow, it's almost like RTS players don't like MOBA elements.

Currently the game is perfectly playable and the only paid content confirmed are skins.

I take it you never had to download patches from Fileplanet or spin the proverbial wheel of fate hoping a gaming magazine came with a disc with patches in it.

No, games were just as bad back then as they are now. Every game gets better with expansions, no exceptions.

Why do people keep coming up with stupid reasons like
>they made it multiplayer focused!
>they changed the genre
and the like when the actual reason is that the game is fucking shit? The genre change thing is extra bullshit considering they did that for the second game which probably still has more players than the shit that is the third. Just face it they were trying too hard to appeal to too many people at once and came up with a product that has a little bit of everything but ends up pleasing no one because it leaves out too much of what made everything it took from good. Also the RTS crowd is elitist as fuck and hate it when moba is brought up so maybe that might have added to it.Which is fair enough since fucking mobas basically killed the rts genre.
It's really a shame, I was so hyped when I first saw the announcement trailer, everything about it seemed right, but as they showed more I started hating it so much that I didn't even end up buying the fucking thing.

>>377317476

It doesn't play as a MOBA, the turrets serve as a early rush defense and that's about it. It really does play like a merge of DoW1 and DoW2.

Niggers are overreacting as usual.

>>377317652
I just really liked the past games and to think the same guys that made them came up with this really makes it a huge disappointment. Hell maybe I'll buy it once it goes on a deep discount but no way in hell am I sending them the signal that this is worth the full asking price. I'm just lucky this is one of the few times where voting with my wallet actually works because the tide is on my side.

>>377317889

Only the first few levels introduce the player to the different faction mechanics. That's all.

>>377318075

Yeah, it's heavily overpriced. I bought it at launch and regret buying it for 60 bucks, it's worth 30-40, but not 60. Fuck, barely any game is worth that much.

I would begin with establishing basic 4 factions

>>377314716
It has the potential to be a good multiplayer game but right now it's way too unbalanced with only 1 viable build for each race. Eldar is objectively better than the other two races and you have to be basically a braindead retard to have less than a 90% win ratio with them.

>>377315450

That's unfortunate. It actually looks pretty good. Fucking PC faggots only play shitty FPS games and MOBAs.

>>377312401
on a positive sidenote, dawn of war 1 with all expansions except the trash that was soulstorm is still a great game, just outdated pathfinding. me and my friends still play it the times our workschedules align and we can meet up for some bbq and lan.

>>377323484

Steel division isn't even out yet

Strangely enough, I just went back to playing CoH2.

There's just jackshit to do in DoW3 at the moment.

>>377326065
It's basically out. You can buy it and play it right now.

>>377312401
wait for the 2nd or 3rd expansion and then wait for it to regularly go on sale like ever other dawn of war games. Right now it's $60 for DoW3 when you can get DoW1+2 and all the dlc/expansion for like $5 regularly, of course it's dead, but that doesn't mean it's bad, it's actually really fun.

>>377326336
These games aren't fun at all unless there's a good multiplayer community. I don't want to be stuck playing against slow comp stomping scrubs.

No, it was the opposite. They tried to pander to the esports crowd and made the single player barebones as fuck with no cinematics even.This got the 40k lorefags pissed out. Whats worse, even the multiplayer was lacking, with only a handful of maps, so that also pissed the competitive crowd.

It's all in all a lacking game.

It's not a big deal at all, but why throw my money out the window for a product that most likely will be cheaper and a bit less riddled with bugs in a few months, if it's not a Multiplayer game I usually wait for some kind of goty or definite version, that contains all the overpriced DLCs too. I kind of get it with a Multiplayer game, but I would still wait a few weeks just to avoid a stillbirth such as this, I also don't want to reward the developers for doing a shitty job, but go ahead and waste your money, it's yours and you can do what you want with it, I just think it's not a sound financial decision, especially when my backlog keeps growing anyway.

As long as it gets some expansions anyway, I don't give a fuck how bad it's currently doing.

Maybe if you're a comp stomping scrub with sub 80% win record against actual people.

In 1v1 it's widely acknowledged that there's only 1 good build for every race and ESL tournaments have played out the same way every week. Anyone that's tried anything different has been summarily demolished.

SM has ASM into Landspeeders and will still lose to any competent Eldar simply because cheap Dark Avengers, Scorpions, teleporting Bonesingers and the ridiculous doctrines gives them map control and none of their early units require any power investment so they can tech up significantly faster than SM and Ork. All other Eldar builds are shit in comparison.

Orks should lose to both races and they have to play fairly passive with boyz and hope the enemy is a retard that lets them get to trucks for free.

Most Ork players trying to compete in ESL can't use WAAAGH for shit. They're literally fighting with 50% less damage on all their units all the time. Absolute garbage tier players who are entirely reliant on the one trick pony that is bomma boyz.

Then prove me wrong faggot. Esport fags and MOBA fags won't buy it because they have already invested 5000 hours into their well established game of choice. Meanwhile, casualfags won't buy it because the game sacrificed all the unique flavor and epic scale of the Wh40k setting in the name of """balance""" to appease esport fags who will NEVER play this.

>>377329527

Also heavy bolters are fucking supposed to be rapid fire grenade launchers, not fucking BB guns. They're supposed to sound explosive as hell.

>>377330490
As much of a fun meme it is to say 40k fags are picky neck beards, they are still pretty easy to please so long as the foundation is correct, aka the game looks and feels like 40k. DoW1 and 2 felt like 40k. DoW3 feels like Starcraft and it isn't interesting in the slightest with how fucking goofy everything looks. If they wanted to do cartoony proportions, fine, but at least imitate John Blanches art where there are cartoony proportions but it still has fucking grit and a brooding overbearing feeling to it. DoW3 has none of that

>>377330631
If you build 4-5 boyz and use waaagh you can absolute dictate early game fights. The key is to overwhelm their shitty 2-3 unit openings with more units and focus on keeping them from securing too many generators.

Most Orks I see build 2-3 boyz and try to start building a dakka hut and turtle for the war trukks. The problem is that people have caught onto this and just build tons of generators in the background with their superior map control while you're turtling.

The only thing that needs a tweak is their critical strikes nuking structures.

Otherwise they're not that tough to deal with when you know to expect them and use detectors.

Again? It's been an RTS for a while, you crack-smoking retard.

>>377335958
Space marines can have powers swords which do true damage in tier1, not sure about orks but they sure have "heavy infantry" aka truck in tier 1

DA problems is that they are best ranged unit and no one can touch them because sanik buff from webwaygate which is hard to destroy and can teleport with one of the doctrines.

Have you appeased the machine spirit today?
Would be a shame if something happened to your pc.

The combat is fucking weak.
Why would I play Warhammer with weak WAR?

>>377337492
I mean in early game like literally on the start
Shadow Specters are just anti vehicle fags who do shit damage and are made out of paper
Their only good thing is that they can fly and shoot while moving.

DA actually lose to shootas in a 1v1 fight, and shootas have better grenades.

What makes DA work so well is fleet of foot and not bleeding models because of shield.

DoW1: Vanilla
Classic squad based RTS game utilizing cover with a heavy focus on map control, agression and micromanagment. A solid game, had some balance problems and hickups along the way but most of it got ironed out throught the games lifespan.

Winter Assault
Released in a very poor rushed out state, game was clearly unfinished, was extremly buggy with units shooting in melee and various other game breaking glitches. Not bad when Relic got round to fixing it though.

Dark Crusade
HORRIBLE game, some of the worst balance in any RTS game to date, random changes for no rhyme or reason, extremly buggy, was absolutley hated by the community, fire on the move bug crippled the game and online was plagued with connection problems that would drop people from games mid match and rampant hacking. Relic promised a patch was coming but it never happened.

Soulstorm
Fixed many of the broblems with DC, saved the DoW1 community which was on its deathbed after the mess that was DC, had a few minor problems on launch but not as bad as WA or DC and they were patched out with updates, best balance out of all the DoW games. Still has an active community that plays the game regularly online stood the test of time, great game.

That's what they did. They should have expanded on DoWII.

The announcement trailer had everyone hype.

It's when the first released actual gameplay footage is when everyone got pissed the fuck off.

>>377341576
I can't believe Total Warhammer actually turned out well (except for the staple problems of CA, like lack of unit variety, dumb as fuck AI and simplistic combat).

This is what you get for butchering your game.

No Last Stand no buy from me.

It was so relaxing for me to play this mode and try out new weapons and gear and ofc this fucks had to remove it in DoW 3 and because DoW 3 has no inventory management there will never be a last stand mode

>>377341576
But it's totally different game and I got bored of it since there no more dlc before next game

>>377314716
nice bait retard

>Dow2fags will complain.
Good. If they want a squad based strategy game, go play something else.

>>377343238
This was very surprising.
1 of the most popular mods on DoW2 that made them the most money with cosmetics and they don't include it in DoW3.

I'll never understand this last stand autism.

>solid single player game

ork levels are great

space marine levels are tolerable

eldar levels are awful because they get no fucking power resource generation and are absolute garbage until they can get wraiths on the field.

>>377344625
It was fun. That's pretty much it.

>>377344625
>I'm unable to understand other people
>they must be aspies
Oh, the ironing!

The problems with the games balance is as follows:

1.Too much reliance on skillshots to wipe armies, aoe stuns or aoe nukes
2.maps are fucking small and corridor-like
3.Space Marines have a no-penalty gen harass units (ASM or land speeders)
4.Ork too reliant on wierdboy and chain stun
5. Eldar wraithguard too strong nothing else to get but spam wraithguard

>>377344794
>>377344850
Some people played it for hundreds of hours, without touching the other game modes.

It's simplistic as fuck and gets boring after 2 games. I just don't get it.

>>377344997
its actually far more complex if you are aiming for the highscores and the whole feeling to play with friends and trying out new builds is just fun.

>>377344997
>It's simplistic as fuck and gets boring after 2 games. I just don't get it.
Then these people have different tastes than you. It's simple.

>>377344938
>1.Too much reliance on skillshots to wipe armies
The problem is that many of them are """""skill"""""shots, like that boomerang of one of the eldar elites that is nearly impossible to miss and nearly impossible to dodge and instagibs almost every regular unit.

>>377345081
I guess. There are people with 5k+ hours in LoL after all.
