Why is no one talking about this game?

>>378402864
single player is just so-so like other 40k games, multiplayer is a down grade compared to dow1 and 2 - no one is playing it.

>>378403276
>multiplayer is a down grade compared to dow1 and 2
lol

Most people were disappointed, only the tiny amount of tourney fags keep clinging to it, waiting for balance patches.

>>378402864

Game feels really shallow with the "3 slots" for elite units. I wish you could build all of the elites at one time and there are tons of ways to balance the game to support it...

But instead we have this shallow gameplay where you pick the 1-2 combinations thats best for your faction and grind it to death.

>"big" update patch announced for may 31
>not a single balancing patch deployed since launch

if they fuck up this patch then the game is dead 100%

>>378403575
on the contrary, limiting elites allows you to make them more powerful, so things like Wraithlords and Terminators actually feel like they should, instead of just being a high tier line unit

>>378403751
Not him, but I don't agree with you. I feel like Wraithlords and terminators in DoW 2 feel way more significant and powerful than their counterparts in DoW 3.

I don't even play with elites over 5 points. Don't need them. I'm able to close out literally like 90%+ of my games within the first 10 minutes. Only shitters who don't abuse the strongest meta (each faction only has 1 or, at most 2 strats to use at high level) actually have prolonged games and use the late game elites.
If you're good, the game is decided after the very first engagements and who manages to get shield gens down first for the resource boost that snowballs them to victory.

>>378403751
>make elites OP as fuck
>make basic units paper-thin by comparison
>turn late game fights into elites vs elites ; don't even bring your basic units to the fight because they do 0 damage to elites and die instantly

it feels less inspired by its RTS roots when all you're doing is micro'ing the units in a match.

it's just not what i wanted

>>378403575
You mean you want a DoW3 last stand mode with multiple lives, elites in this case, or a game mode consisting of just elites.

There's no need to build normal units if you will spam elites. Nobody will build them and their worth will be severely diminished if everyone could just choose elites..

>>378404750
Sounds to me you haven't even played the game because elites melt in seconds to concentrated fire from a couple of basic units of equivalent tier.

Mission 13 is bullshit.

>>378402864
Its the worst game in the series, even the "cut scenes" are poor and cheaply made, even the voice acting is bad.
Nothing about the game is good at all.

>>378404856

a quick drunken attempt at balancing: increase their cost exponentially with each elite unit alive.

you could then have a healthy rotation of all the units you would otherwise never see in a match and you can't just look at their elite/passive selections and know 100% exactly what to expect from the next 30 minutes.

You know, it's pretty bad when there are more people playing Nekopara than this game.

>>378402864
because it's trash and so are you for thinking of it

Because it's a complete clusterfuck of a game. They tried taking elements from the previous two games and combining them into a single game, but then watered down those elements to the point that they might as well not even be there. Then they tried to copy elements from StarCraft and MOBA's in order to appeal to casuals. The result is a game that has no fucking clue what it is, and sucks at everything it tries to do.

>>378405094

It has Denuvo on it.If you were here long enough you'll know that Denuvo games die out pretty fast and can not retain their populations, since pirates don't bother with them games with Denuvo are pretty much dead on arrival.

No try,no buy.

>>378403367
Heya shill watchable doin

>>378405749

Army-defining hero units and map objectives being the primary means of victory. But, as I said, they watered that down and mixed it with so much other crap that it's just a bowl full of watery shit now.

Relic employee suicide video when?

>It's the first one

Incorrect it's the third one

>>378406009
Are you implying that heroes weren't powerful in 1?

>>378406096

Kek. A Necro Lord soloing entire armies in DoW1 was fucking hilarious.

>>378405961

except that's WRONG YOU FUCKING HERETIC

the open beta was the closest thing we got to a demo and it was fun because nobody had the meta-game down to a T

>>378405929
That's not much.
>>378406009
>Army-defining hero units
That's not how dow2 works.

>>378406084
Neah, first one is pure shit full of crappy game mechanics. Reinfore anywhere was a pure bullshit.

>>378402864
Because there's nothing to talk about, its one of the worst RTS games to be released in a long time.

>>378406096

Heroes were strong units in DoW1, but they didn't completely dictate how you played your army like they did in DoW2. DoW3 tried to replicate the DoW2 style with the elite units, but then forgot what the word "balanced" means and made them so powerful that the rest of your army is essentially cannon fodder.

>>378402864
>no proper cover system
>no proper suppression mechanic
>no retreat
>no last stand
>moba-styled map and objective multiplayer only

All they had to do was take CoH1 and made a Warhammer40k skin for it and I would have been happy. Relic needs to stop fucking up with every new game they make.

>>378406363
When you say that basic units are just cannon fodder it pretty much lets everyone else know you haven't played the game.

>>378406492

And when you say basic units in DoW3 aren't cannon fodder it just lets everyone else know that you haven't played an RTS that's actually balanced and designed by competent devs. Either that, or your an SC2 baby and think that shit is normal.

>>378406492

in the sense that their spells nuke any and all basic infantry yes many are exactly like that.

>>378406764
>>378406776
You mean like the same shit that happens in DoW1 and 2?

I didn't care about graphical style, or the fact that it was going to have moba -elements. I was still going to buy it. Howerer it was just unfun to play. It doesn't feel rewarding or addicting. It's just that I don't have any reason to play it.

Funny thing is that, they actually could have made a good game without inventing anything new. All they had to do was just to combine elements from two previous games. But instead they tried to create something new, that doesn't really work at all, and failed miserably at it.

Relic reporting bankruptcy when? God I fucking hate them

>>378407157
I didn't play DoW 1, but it's definitely not like DoW 2. The closest thing DoW 2 commanders have to DoW 3 elite MOBA skillshot wave-clearing bullshit is like the warlock's destructor bolt which can't even one shot the weakest units in the game by itself.

>>378406171
>the open beta was the closest thing we got to a demo
>he thinks that everyone knew about the open beta
>the open beta was like 2 days long + - a few hours
What open beta?If they want to make a demo, they should make a demo.

But i am only hearing how shit this game is so maybe it is a good thing that there was no demo.

>>378407670
>The closest thing DoW 2 commanders have to DoW 3 elite MOBA skillshot wave-clearing bullshit
"Let the galaxy burn", for example.

>>378407778
You can literally walk out of it. With DoW 3 nukes you can only try to prempetively keep your squads as unblobbed as possible so the nuke only wipes one squad instead of like 3+

>>378408023
And even that isn't going to work with nukers like Kyre and Solaria who is going to obliterate like at least half a screen's worth of area

>>378408150
>>378408023
Would you rather than a towering massive unit take 2 minutes to kill a single squad of Dire Avengers?

>>378405749
The almost complete lack of macro.

>>378407739

>>378408023
>>378408150

not to mention the built in "delete everything on the screen" faction abilities. really ruins 3v3s when they get unlocked.

>>378408293
I'd rather have a good game than what they gave us.

>>378408023
>You can literally walk out of it
It knock units back. You could just obliterate blobs with that spell.
It was literally the same in dow2. Only in dow3 you can upgrade units health, so aoe spells wouldn't be so painful. (I'm not talking about Kire now, that guy is totally broken)

>>378408150
>Solaria
Her animations takes like forever. You can just walk away from her or come come really close, so she can't do shit to you.

>>378408315
You need to manage your resource income, control the map, upgrade shit and build new units during the battle. What else do you need at macro part?

The big ass patch is coming in the 31st.

>>378410243
I'm already expecting them to make the game worse. If it is even possible to do.
I know many are holding off playing untill 31st.

>>378410432
This patch is what will determine if the game will live or die. Relic has been saving this up until now, and they better deliver or else it'll be the last nail on this game's coffin.

>>378410432
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they manage to fuck the game up even more with the patch. This nu-Relic just needs to die desu. It's tragic that they had to go kill the franchise, but maybe it's best to just put this whole series out of it's misery now.

>>378411128
It won't really die even if they fuck it up even harder. Couple expansions, some sales and compstomper pandering will make people come back.
It just sucks know that it will take a while if ever for them to get it right.

The dow3 forums is hilarious

>40k fans are so agressive

Last I saw the forums were full on doom and gloom mode.

didn't know they had a big patch coming. No idea what they would do except balance, but I'm still excited.

Balance is the main problem right now. Those spams makes game unfun.

I hope it makes the game even worse. The desperate damage control would be hilarious

>>378412030

If they don't have a mod, it turns into steam forums. I'm not sure which is worse.

That way when i buy it i'know that i am buying a good game and supporting it with my wallet.

A game must give you at least 1$ per hour of value.

So if you are paying 60$ you better be spending at least 60 hours with that game.

>>378413908
>play the campaign
>it's shit
The campaign wasn't too bad but it still had some moments that made me scratch my head, like the amount of Blood Ravens you kill while playing as the Orks and Eldar, how many fucking companies did they bring if they had enough troops continue fighting, and the fact the Eldar send more time killing each other than the Orks, like what?

Still, Farseer Taldeer suddenly returning was a bit of a shock, her coming back as a playable unit was even better. Gabriel still being his usual self pissing off the Inquisition, Gorgutz being Gorgutz and Solaria was pretty badass for what little screen time she got, telling an Inquisitor to fuck off like that takes some serious balls.

>>378415528
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.

>Why is no one talking about this game?
because it's garbage. moba gamemode is dumb shit, campaign is boring and shallow, and thats all the game has to offer. also only 3 races is a fucking joke, and the elite units are so much more powerful than regular units that they completely dominate the game at nearly every stage of a match.

t. moron who bought i on release day

What I don't understand is, if they were going to add MOBA influences, why not add the fun stuff from MOBAs?
No one cares about hidden grass and shit like that. Why not make it so hero units start at level 1 in every match and as you kill stuff you gain XP and level up? Like in Warcraft 3 and all the MOBAs? Hero leveling in the game itself is dumb since it's purely cosmetic stuff, in-game currencies, skins, etc. And where's gear? Even Dawn of War 1 since DC had wargear you can equip your heroes through the campaign. DoW 2 greatly expanded on it and had a fun RPG system, Retribution significantly toned it down, and in DOW 3 they outright removed it. Why?

Even if they add Last Stand, what's the point if there's no progression? At least give us wargear in that mode.

>>378416804

Relic went to shit after the guy that made CoH died in a car crash and everyone else that mattered left and made their own dev team, what remains under Sega is the just the B team at best, they don't know what they are doing.

>>378415528
No, Soulstorm is the by far the best DoW1 game

>>378416223
>>378416291
DC has the best campaign and while Soulstorm is the most balanced for PvP, it's unplayable against AI because the AI is literally broken and doesn't know how to play.

Those are actually good.

>>378422886
Yea i got taste for them too, like you starting slow and playing like DoW2 but then huge armies and all that.

>>378421067
>>378422624
lmao no Deathwing is even bigger of a flop than DoW3

>>378423140
It's more than that. Buildings become stronger in late game, so it's not easier to destroy objectives in the late game.

>>378423205
Was just thinking of deathwing. Is it worth buying?

>>378423303
fuck no you get about 4 hours of substance

>>378423371
Okay. I'll wait for a better warhammer IP to arrive some day.

Maybe Relic can ask Sega to get the rights to Space Marine back.

>>378423510
>I'll wait for a better warhammer IP to arrive
lol

>>378423248
That actually not that good. I had one full hour game yesterday were no one could punch trough defense, got ultimated and we go back and forward from base to base for quite some time.
We won eventually, but yeah that was a bit tedious.

>>378423697
>one full hour game
How? My games is usually 10-20 minutes long.

Missed opportunity.

>>378423808
3 vs 3

>>378423876
>could have been IG, Necrons, Tau
No, it could not. They started with most popular factions.

>>378423924
Yes, I'm playing 3v3 aswell. Maybe you are too passive?

>>378423950
>No, it could not

Unless it's a physical law that a Dawn of War game must start with at least Orks, Eldar andSM, then yes, it could have been.

>>378423876
>hurr let's make a 40k RTS without SPACE MARINES, Eldar and Orks
are you stupid or something
besides the Dawn of War series is all about the Blood Ravens

>>378424021
Maybe, im not rushing with AM like a faggot.

>>378424042
It must start with factions which attract as many players as possible.

>>378424042

There is one...TRADITION.

>>378424215
So what? You don't need to spam asm to push early. I usually just buy one squad of it and never upgrade powerswords until t2.

>>378423950
I hate the tau as everyone else but the most 3 popular factions in order of selling models in TT are space marines n1 followed by IG and the the tau.

>>378424081

Be honest - do you really think that people won't buy a 40k game if it doesn't have Space Marines from the outset?

I'd say it's a fair assumption that most people who have been playing the series since 1 won't be too bothered, and the people who are playing this series for the first time won't even know.

BFG Armada also didn't launch with Space Marines.

>>378424228
see above

>>378424275
Some people might also argue that 4 factions is a tradition as well.

>>378424395
>I hate the tau as everyone else
I don't hate them at all.

>>378423950

>Orks
>most popular

lol no

Nobody dislikes them, but they're pure garbage now. Nobody buys orks.

Is 40k cursed when it comes to vidya?
Only one good 40k game per decade it seems.
Last we had Dawn of War,
This decade its Armada

>>378424429
warhammer 40k is all about space marines, most of the player base plays them both in TT and the videogames, BFG can get away with it because the SM fleet was an afterthought that's still not as great ( or good looking) as the imperial navy in the TT and they were made after.

>>378424429
>BFG Armada also didn't launch with Space Marines
Because space marine fleet is not iconic. Imperial Navy ships is.

>>378424081
>Dawn of War series is all about the Blood Ravens
The first installations of Dawn of Wars are about the Blood Ravens.
Expansion packs are often about other factions.
However, Dawn of War Dark Crusade has Ravens win, and Dawn of War 3 retribution has the canon winner as the Blood Ravens again, and minor factions like the Eldar also share small victories, like the retrieval of Taldeer's soul, which might have just been a hand out from Gabriel to tell the Eldar to scram.

>>378424529
Judging how /tg/ reacted at their changes in 8th Edition, that may be no longer the case.

>>378424585
I personally liked deathwing until the end which was shitty, but then again it's a game worth half the price of what it costs.

>>378424429
>40K selling without Space Marines
Come on you can't be this stupid
>BFG Armada
A game nobody bought

>>378424529
It has nothing to do about tabletop. Many people described dow1 as "orks in space". And orks is the most common enemy in the universe. How can you not include them?

I also heard that, but I haven't seen anything specific. Here's hoping.

>>378424661
The base game is always about the Blood Ravens and then the following expansions focus on other races.

First expansion for DoW3 will most likely be Chaos and Imperial Guard.

Necrons.

DoW 3 is good for MP in my opinion it's just had some bugs in campaign and campaign itself was boring(again, my opinion). No hot key customization among some other stuff.

>>378424706
I just hope Streum gets to make E.Y.E. 2

>>378414217
Wait, he's the idiot yet you actually pay money for a game you basically completed... K then

>>378424868
IG is not the comon enemy of space marines.

>>378424850
I would like Imperial Guard, but flametrowers would fuck them even more than orks right now.

>>378424891
Necrons have been more or less confirmed but I don't know about them being the fourth race to the game. Missing Chaos is a big deal because Chaos has so many players.

>>378425031
That got me thinking...how the frack would DoW 3 add commissars?

>>378425162
Like an elite unit, dow2 style. And maybe they also will add upgrades in squads.

>>378425116
>more or less
More of less? There was fucking necron face and taldeer told what they are going to kick some asses.

Probably like upgrade for squad, like they did i before. But there no moral, what would killing your own units achieve?
Also want their setup machine gun, like it's only shot in one direction but range and game is huge. Oh and ogrits!

>>378425162
Early game support Elite makes sense.

>>378425497
>But there no moral, what would killing your own units achieve?
Something like immunity to suppress.

>>378424215
You're probably just a shitter. I've noticed when watching some streams that shit players let games drag out pretty long. Usually cuz they're too passive with their 20 APM and don't get the shield gens down for the resource income boost and resultant snowballing. In my 3v3's, I'll have the game pretty much decided by 10 minutes in usually. Then it's like another 5-10 minutes of killing the turret and ancient if there's anyone still left on the enemy team who hasn't quit/surrendered (again, it tends to be the shitters who don't quit or surrender even when it's obvious they've lost).

>>378425780
Relic really needs to put others MP modes.

Personally i want a co-op, i play only co-op in SC2 pretty much, last stand will be okay too, but not like in one stop but on huge map were you have to move and do something.

tfw you knew this game would be shit and dodged a bullet. It looks just as shit as it is, that's what I don't understand. I've been tricked before by games that looked good but actually weren't and that's fair, but this game actually looks like garbage and people still bought it in denial.

>>378426827
Relic said they want to create something based on the Last Stand for DoW 3. If the game survives until then it's another thing.
>That pic.
