Vermintide, people often compare the two because:

2. Both are Warhammer, ones just Fantasy the other's 40k
3. The Vermintide devs actually listened when people said their game was shit and fixed it up a decent amount with balance patches and free DLC that fixed some of the RNG bullshit. Meanwhile the DW devs sided with the dicksucking fanboys who said the game was 10/10 perfect and everyone else dropped it.

Constantly.

8th Edition adds a fair bit of lore, the Horus Heresy is being written out for better or worse, and Black Library churns out material at a constant pace.

So go here

"Gathering storm"

It's really fresh content, like in the last few months. Guilliman has been revived with the help of a newborn Eldar god Y'nnead. Also, there are new super-super-soldiers called the Primaris space marines. It's really fascinating stuff.

Good

As all life is born to die, so all men are born to decay. There can be no succour in this world. As the centuries drag past our cultures will fade, just as our bodies waste and our passions cool as the winter of life approaches.

In time our mightiest cities shall crack and crumble, and our lofty ideals shall grow weary and jaded. For what are our achievements if not the follies of pride and ignorance?

All shall be forgotten with the passing of years. There will be no exceptions.

For who amongst us can escape the predations of time? Whom amongst us is beyond the inevitability of decay? That which is young can only grow old. That which is whole and sweet can only shrivel and sour. Nothing is permanent and nothing may remain without blemish. It is the fate of all things that they are bound to time, and time is the twin of decay.

So bend a knee, all of this world. Bend a knee all who would embrace their fate and thereby rise above it. Rise up, give in, surrender yourselves to the master of this world.

Father Nurgle is our sovereign and lord, and whether it be sooner or whether it be later, he will claim all in time.

And so this is how the world shall end; not with fire and tempest, but with the collective sigh of failed passions and lost hope.
>>
>>383774561

>>383774490

Yeah I agree that the Primaris marines are a really retarded idea.

And Sanguinius is stone cold DEAD, killed by the arch-traitor Horus. Guilliman was merely mortally wounded are encased in a stasis field on Macragge to preserve his life. He got better now. So far nothing in 40k can really revive the truly dead.

I'm not even saying that's wrong. Maybe it'll never become an issue, maybe it will.

I'm just saying it's an *actually* interesting thing in the setting, instead of just more Emperor Daddy Issues, and they don't actually seem to give two shits.

Like, honestly, given the choice between another Daemon Primarch waking up and coming to fight Guilliman or Mars entering Civil War, what do you want to see more?
Okay, maybe you can't decide, maybe they both seem either important or completely unimportant to you? Then wouldn't that at LEAST mean that both things should be getting attention, and not just one?

Yeah, and those powers came at the price of bargaining with demons. During the burning of Prospero it wasn't the Space Wolves that truly ended the Thousand Sons, it was their pet demons and their own powers turning on them.
>>
>>383775429

I would definitely choose to see another schism on mars. That's what made the Horus Heresy so great, the TRAGEDY of it. The wasted potential, brothers fighting brothers. Another big spooky spiky demon coming by to wreck shit up FOR THE EVULZ just isn't as interesting, strory-wise.

3rd edition, everything went downhill after that. You got :
- Simplistic, shitty codex for brain damage players
- boring, over-simplified rules
- 2GRIM2DARK
- Epic was gutted and Gorka Morka was murdered
- You don't like playing SPESS MEHREENS ? Better find a new hobby then !

>>383775605
See what I mean?
But they just don't give a shit about that. They're just gonna make more Ultramarines-brand Primaris Reiver Marines, and they're gonna re-release Death Guard even though they already fucking just had a Primaris v. Death Guard release in the Dark Imperium box, and we're gonna watch spiky-vomit-covered Mortarion slap dicks with sparkly-clean-Aryan-Guilliman for an entire fucking campaign while Cawl, the AdMech, and Mars just have a gentle change in leadership in the background.
We'll be lucky even to get a sidebar discussing the War on Mars, just like the sidebar discussing saving Baal from the Nids. We'll be lucky to have the second most important world in the Imperium get a sidebar that discussing that 'tensions are reaching a boiling point, but no Tech-Priest wants to be the first to draw a line in the sand,' shit, and there will be nothing interesting for months, or even years.

Is it that the current regime knows about the Void Dragon, and closely guards that terrible secret while acting as supplicants, while Cawl is actually the renegade hero that will save the soul of the AdMech?
Or is it that Cawl is the super-powered slave of the Void Dragon, who will act as his engine of chaos against the current Martian regime, which actually consists of reasonable dudes?

I really hope it won't be that way, but who am I kidding this is GW we're talking about.

And I really hope they don't go with Mortarion as the main bad guy, he's literally the most boring traitor.

Seriously, can someone tell me why Mortarion fell to chaos? Horus felt betrayed, Perturabo felt unappreciated, Magnus was tricked, Fulgrim was a priffy faggot. But Mortarion? It's literally like he looked in the mirror one day and went

"Let's see... My name is mortarion, I'm known as the Death Lord, my theme is skulls and scythes, my legion is called the Death Guard, I drink poison for fun... *sigh* yeah, I guess I'm evil. Chaos, here I come."

>>383776361
Mortarion is confirmed to be the next Daemon Primarch. He will be the main antagonist of the upcoming Fate of Konor campaign. The next two codices to be released will be Space Marines, then Death Guard, starring Mortarion.
This is straight from GW. There's official art with him in it, there are video trailers with his 'voice', and they've shown pictures of the upcoming releases.
So, get excited. Boring Morty is taking the field. Woo.

it's pretty much this though. He just defaulted to Horus' side. Then again, Primarchs like Mortarion and Perturabo are written so fucking poorly it's like nobody gave a fuck about them.

The entire point of a war scythe was that it was a farming tool converted into a weapon of war by sheer peasant ingenuity by straightening the blade and turning the scythe into a makeshift halberd. Why the fuck would elite soldiers specifically use weapons that mimic a farming tool? This is literally anime-tier nonsense.

The great thing about wh40k was the mystery of it. Not knowing what happened to the primarches. Not knowing about what really happened in the horus heresy. And now they just fucking explain everything and bring back fan fantasy shit like some fucking fan fiction.
Eventually they will realize it's all gone to shit and reboot it as AGE OF 40K! and it'll fucking flop just like fantasy.

These people are morons. And so are the vast majority of 40k players who complain about the plot never moving forward.

By writing about 40 books and counting about in no particular order
The daddy issues of Horus, Lorgar, Angron, and a few others.
Magnus' hubris and feeling of disconnect because he's smart you know. The biggest, reddest nerd in the galaxy.
Eldars being dicks.
Sanguinius' and Horus' (b)romance.
Konrad Curze being a prophetic edgelord, and also Batman.
The Lion being a giant autist.
Mortarion being a smelly, hateful NEET. Also a hypocrite, but a good commander.
Vulkan being immortal.
Roboute Guilliman being an overly ambitious accountant.
Malcador telling the Emperor that women might have made better Primarchs.
The Emperor seeing all the Primarchs as nothing more than tools.
The Khan wanting only one thing: to go fast. Also a surprisingly layered, well adjusted character.
Erebus being the cause of everything by being a very obvious evil asshole that everyone trusts.
Kharn being a cool dude and his bromance with Argel Tal.
Lorgar and his sons being practically made to worship the Emperor.

And so on. By the way, we haven't reached the battle for Terra yet.

Fear factor. Humanity long tied the scythe with the iconic image of death and the reaper and so they take advantage of it.
Was also the reason why the Nightbringer had the image of the reaper complete with scythe.

Well, Magnus DID actually come back, and there are a lot of rumors of more loyalist Primarchs coming along.
They may be completely unfounded, but the Wulfen book did happen not too long ago.
I don't think it's completely outside the realm of possibility to get Yiffers and Nipple-horns into the ring.
Granted, if it takes two years to happen, then what's the fucking point? The game progresses at such a fuckin glacial pace, I literally don't have the capacity to stay excited for something for that long.

literally all of the primarchs were dumped/scattered on backwater earth colonies long abandoned to interstellar travel. they ended up being isolated on worlds where humans had devolved into savage behaviors, serfdom, knights n sheet. how is this preposterous? when the emprah found them a lot of them were the most dominant living beings on those planets and picked up peculiarities related to their host planets

In a surprising twist, Abaddon the (h)armless managed to destroy couple of Necron pylons on Cadia and split the planet in half, thus cuasing the eye of terror to expand and creating a giant rift splitting the galaxy.

And while all this happened, the guard fought and gave no ground and their planet gave up before their own will did.

Nah, don't worry. Russ is fairly popular and a ton of content surrounding Magnus' hate boner for the Wolves.

Its just that thematically, Mortarion goes well with Roboute since they are both fairly boring, but opposite characters. Both are depicted as competent commanders but with a difficulty to bond with the rest of their brothers. And yet where Guilliman is the empire builder, Mortarion is decay and corruption.

But Fulgrim will probably arrive first, he stirred when he learned Bobby was back.

>>383777537
His point was less dick waving and measuring or something. Probably was just a bone to add strong female characters potential. Not that those are lacking.

>>383777602
The wolves literally worship a warp entity that is not a daemon, the World Spirit of Fenris, that gives them their prophetic and magic powers. Its also capable of purifying daemonic artifacts, of teaching them what is good in the Warp and what is not.

>>383777703

lolno. Magnus is depicted as consistently wrong at every turn, and Lorgar is irredeemable.
>alpharius/Omegon is still a loyalist in my mind.
Alpharius probably fell. Jury's out on Omegon but he's most likely pretending. All because they worked to make the Heresy happen, and because half the primarchs fell.
>>
>>383777485
Motherfucker, if they fucking punch a normal person they're going to end up with insides that resemble slaughterhouse slurry. And that's not even using a powerfist. Also I only liked Warhammer and 40k because the aesthetic has always been fucking great. Oh, it turns out Dawn of War was a fucking fantastic game that may have been a shitty game for the competitive types but was probably the most fun i've had with an RTS since Age of Empires 2 or that one game with a clockwork cover that I never remember the name of that let you fight against mech genies.
Fuck Eternal Crusade not coming out.
>>
>>383753076
I'm honestly glad the plot is finally moving forward. I am rooting for the Imperium to win after all. Now, bring back the Lion and Dorn.

I just wish the games were as good as the setting. The latest games have all sucked. I'm still waiting for the Ultimate Apocalypse mod to add Campaign support for SoulStorm.
>>
>>383777872
First edition. I'm saying it's always been trash.

I don't really mean it, but I've never really liked 40k. Just a few parts of it.

Dark Eldar and Imperial Guard are the only factions that feel somewhat interesting.
Oldcrons were okay.

Orkz used to be better when the setting took itself less seriously, and could be important on a scale smaller than "spores everywhere can't win grimdark foe".
The Tyranids are a better grimdark foe, but GW is stupid for setting them up to be as powerful as they are. It both makes moving the plot forward hard, as well as is a generally awful idea in the event of not moving the plot forward.
Tau are very well designed aesthetically, they just don't really fit at all, before or after the grimdarkening of the Ethereal caste.

Everything else is mediocre.
Space marines in particular are a fucking annoying as a main faction. They just can't be interesting as they are. And all Gdubs does is make them less and less interesting.

Also what their fans accept is bullshit.
Fuck the smurfs.

Remember when the Dreadknight came out?
And everybody laughed when it was that horrible?
Everyone has kinda come to expect that level of quality everywhere.

Fuck even making the Grey Knights their own army is an exemplar decision of GW's stupidity.
>>
>>383778214
DoW2 being a different game does not make it bad. It certainly has design problems, but it remains an enjoyable game on its own right.

>>383778080
No. Which is surprising, and should be easy enough to add considering the mechanics of the game.

God damnit.
They even took the time to add fucking Dark Mechanicus models from 30k into the 40k FW Chaos book, but they didn't add the ACTUAL PRE-EXISTING 40K MODELS to the game yet.

DoW2 is like an okay singleplayer mod for DoW.

DoW2 skirmish and multiplayer and the general gameplay when you're not playing a moba of a squad of hero units in singleplayer was like a version of Company of Heroes that took a hard look at every single thing Company of Heroes did right, and then altered all of them to be shit.
>>
>>383778452
And yet it has a good to decent campaign, overall good voice acting, fairly workable mechanics for what it offers.

So you don't like it because its not DoW. Even as it failed to please you, at least they tried something different and delivered a decent, enjoyable game.

It's very good. Aged quite a bit but there are some great mods for it. Still great in vanilla for being comically ahistorical in hilarious ways.

>>383778712
Rome 2 was abysmal at launch but became acceptable later on.
Battles are a bit too slow and a lot of the units are too similar.
Also spaghetti line meta is pure fucking trash if you play MP(or use it to abuse the AI I guess).
Pretty much outshone by Attila in every aspect, but the rise of Rome is such a fucking amazing period it still works.
Buy only on sale, but play it.

>>383778680
I played the TT like ten years ago.
It's just a silly re-write that doesn't make much sense for any reason, and clearly just rips off the Tomb Kangz out of laziness.
The tyranids show that a race without individual personalities can work(except for the previous mention of how they are scaled too large).

Newcrons are okay. That's all they are.
Oldcrons were decent.
There is less reason for the transition than nearly any other race-change GW have ever done.

Precisely that. Bobby G is an empire builder, and Sanguinius embodies the virtues of the Imperium better than anyone else.
So Bobby played kingmaker in order to stabilize the Imperium because the Ruinstorm made things difficult, and because he wanted to throne but could not hope to rally others behind him.

It obviously fell apart before it truly began when they learned that the Emperor was still alive.
>>
>>383778945
idk man, dow1 was so successful that they went mad ape and thought that anything they create will sell well, first they removed rts skeleton and replaced it with dumb ass diablo combat and movement but with small unit count and no base building, and then they created dow3 where they keep diablo combat/movement, brind bases back (but without turrets/energy generators/mines) and removed covers for no reason what so ever, it's now diablo clone with much bigger armies and retarded moba gamemode. At least they added anihilation but it's too late since game is dead.

At this point only remaking dow1 with few new armies and units could save series.

There's a difference between a sequel that build upon the existing mechanics and a remake/remaster. Plus most people will just not buy the new game since its more of the same.

>>383779375
Fair enough, except that RTS is not a genre that sells and remaking games will not change that.
>>
I guess that Relic have some pressure from the management to "branch out" (read: casualize) because they don't have faith that a pure "hardcore" RTS would sell.

But I'm convinced that if you make a really good RTS people will buy it, there is a market for this and I think a lot of people are looking for good strategy games to buy. It feels like because of the MOBA/assfaggots wave of games devs have lost faith in traditional RTSes, and true, a lot of them have sold really badly, but many of those recent RTSes are also not very good. I think SC2 proved that a traditional RTS can be successful in the modern era, yes it's blizzard, but still.

I like Relic and I know they can make good games, so it really pains me to see them do this to themselves.

I'm convinced most RTS fans will not buy a copy of games that redo the same thing old games did anymore than they buy the new different games that come out. Its not like the genre is bereft of releases, it just fails to find a market.

On the other hand, accusing MOBAs of killing the genre is just a disingenuous boogeyman.
>>
>>383780083
SC2 still sold a ton of copies, so not calling it successful is just wrong. It had a major impact. I mean, I fucking hate it personally, as I'm a BW fan, but yeah, it showed that RTS can still be very much financially viable.

I'm convinced people will buy a RTS that is genuinely good, and that is a much better path than what Relic has chosen in making so many decisions that piss off the fans of their games.

It just isn't fun somehow.
Like it's decent were it a MP platform.
It's literally just playing the old TT again.
Which doesn't make the best video game.

I don't mean it's very bad. It's just an overall negative experience.

>>383779320
There is nothing wrong with them as a concept.
It's the delivery that is fucked beyond belief.

Total War games and Supcom aren't really that large scale.
What in particular do you not feel comfortable about with them?
Total War especially is very low skill smooth ride.

What's your motivation here? Just making shit up for fun?
>>
>>383779935
Yes. Casual games. In droves. And currently, twitch bait.

Remaking DoW will not lead to a revival of the genre, nor will it lead to incredible sales. Because there apparently is no market for it.

>>383780202
D3 was very viable financially. Do you see people hailing it as the second coming? No. Its a good game that never could live up to the hopes of the community.
SC2 is the same. Its initial numbers are born of hype for a sequel for a beloved game. Its relative staying power owes more to the brand than anything else.

Face it, until a truly new game comes out that is well thought out, mechanically appealing to stream and deep enough to create hype, its not happening. A genuinely good RTS is not a remake, a remaster, or the same game but with slightly different mechanics the way SC2 was meant to be.

>>383780507
It was not a critical failure, and Sega alleged to good sales being the reason for DoW3
>>
>>383780496
to be fair there are trillions of humans. There's plenty of room for quintuple elite units
>>
>>383780650
It was a commercial failure and Sega was just trying to wring some cash out of an IP they just got done buying with a quick little mobile-quality sequel in name only. Luckily for us and games in general they failed so utterly that everyone involved is definitely going to lose their jobs if they haven't already
>>
>>383780496
New lore has it that the Primaris might become a problem in the future since Cawl toes the heretek line a little too hard, and is only getting worse.

Other than that, they are not so much the new elite as they are more bang for your buck.

Thousands upon thousands of units in Total War (as I remember) and SupCom being gigantic unit blobs that were visually bland and uninteresting. A popcap around 200 is a really good number for me. Maybe that's just because that's the way it used to be. I seem to remember 90s RTS capping around 100, though.

For the same reason that hollywood keeps making terrible remakes of old movies that end up losing them millions of dollars. They're completely out of touch with why people play games or watch movies and the entire process is run start to finish out of a board room with the plan literally being "it has the name of X franchise, X franchise products always sell well, so this will sell well no matter what we do"

Then someone comes along and is like "I have a pitch that sounds good about how to "breathe new life" into X franchise hire me to make it" because the other option was "hi I'm a big fan of X franchise and I want to do exactly what we did before but a little better". To someone who never liked X franchise the new life thing seems way better than the same old thing and there you go, dead franchise.

Luckily for us companies are striking out so often on these reboots and indie games that actually play like classic games people liked keep winning big, so even the most die hard retarded companies (bioware) are starting to figure out why they keep losing tons of money/starting to go out of business and make room for new companies that understand their audiences

Of course there are trillions of humans.
A vague number for Space Marines are
1000,000. 1000 per chapter of 1000 chapters.

I said a chance to be selected. Fluff puts it at like what? 20%? Probably lower.
So we'll go with that as a high ball.
One in five billion.

One million of those.

5000000000000000

So that's an estimated five quadrillion.

And even my original post implies one quadrillion, which is an exaggeration.

So yes, I know there are trillions of humans.

Yes, amongst even one million you will have elites and a few even above that. But those few are very silly for existing.

And those above that are straight up ridiculous.

>>383781023
Depends on how the game plays.

Total war can be like 4000 for one army on really big(sometimes modding necessary) unit sizes.

However they are split up into 20 units.
In the very rare occurrence that you'll have more than one full stack you can get up to 40.
40 is much less than 200.

You can make a line in deployment mode and move and engage with it as a group.

Total War battles are really simple. Add in the fact that you can pause and they're stupidly simple.
It's a miracle that there is still any tension.

Even competitive multiplayer games are squish ten melee units together, and micromanage two-three cavalry units as one group together, occasionally switching to something specific every ten-twenty seconds to press a button.

Supcom is different, as it's really a macro game.
And while there are huge unit counts, and you can micro each individually(theoretically), macro play will shit all over micro. And your 220 Air superiority fighters will again have a box dragged around them and engaged with the enemy through just one more mouse click.

Here is an example of TW gameplay:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz1MAtw2FL0
The guy is pretty normie and annoying with how much he talks, but he's good at the game.
Also note that TW has more to offer than just Warhammer.

AoE 2 with its 200 unit cap is much harder

I was very excited to play it.
I did and I thought it was all cool.
Until about the fourth mission I did.
It just congealed together.

There was not enough personality to your lads.
Not enough reason to care about individuals or your team as a whole outside of the gameplay.
The gameplay wasn't enough to hold up something when the others pillars were as weak as that.
I played it on the TT and enjoyed it. But I didn't play it that much.

I'm a bit biased against turn based tactical video games though.
The only one I truly enjoyed was the original XCOM.
Everything since just loses me somewhere along the way.
And among those, Mordheim lost me quite quickly.

>>383783516
Not even GW knows what to do with 40k. Conversely, having killed WHFB means the devs are much more free in what they do. And its a medieval setting, very simple to pitch. Nevermind the fact its just TW with a Warhammer skin, or Killing Floor: Medieval Edition.
>>
>>383783660
Yeah but somehow it's much worse.
Less lethality I think is the main problem.
Also there is an action point system that isn't completely balanced, as opposed to modern XCOM's pretty clean two action system.

Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall is the first game I have cared about the characters and the story of in a long time.
I still hated the gameplay.

>>383783760
There is a mild difference between decent and abysmal.

Pretty sure an Ork game will never exist, in any form.

The best we got was DoW 1 and 2. And it was pretty good. But a fully focused on Orks game will just never see the light of the day.

Eh, Krieg is good for a meatgrinder game where who you play is irrelevant, only that the objective is achieved. Anytime you die, you jump into another and try again.

Those fit the Republic Commando mold better.

I don't know, Gorgutz is pretty charismatic and Bluddflagg was pretty amusing.

Borderlands with Orks sounds like it might work. Add in a few Eldars to manipulate the Orks, and Necrons as the buried enemy.

Its derivative, but what can you do.

Literally a non-issue that was only a meme before we found out that flyers aren't hit only on 6s anymore

I saw suggestions how Shadow of Mordor can be reworked for 40K game with the whole nemesis system and manipulating Ork hierarchy, which I think is actually neat.

Shadow of Mordor and his nemesis system was fucking trash. Why would create gimmick for bad players?

the problem is that relating or empathizing with an ork is nigh-impossible because of their mentality

in an RTS it doesn't matter much, but in a game heavily focused around an ork character, it would get very tiring very quickly

also it wouldn't sell well; normies think W40K is nerd shit but can appreciate space marines to a degree

Anon, literally who is Bludflagg and Gorgutz. Its less about empathizing and more just watching a bunch of hooligans go about their daily and bloodily amusing lives.

I think Gorgutz, if it were polled, had almost a 95%+ approval rating by the fans. He was LOVED. Bludflagg too was universally loved as an Ork main character.

We can't empathize very well with Space Marines either if you dig deep into the fluff but that hasn't stopped developers from tinkering slightly so they are at least more watchable as an audience.

Orks by all accounts would be unbelievably fun and enjoyable to play as and watch.

There was a fantastic audio book solely from an Orks view. I thought it would be cringe but I ended up laughing myself to tears. Did I empathize with a bunch of psychotic green man children? No. But I damn well loved their escapades and ruthless treatment of one another.

I dunno, I felt I could empathize pretty well with Bluddflagg. He's sort of an atypical Ork, though. He's more reasonable and clever than your average warboss, which I guess makes him more relatable. It also helps that he has a very positive, Orky outlook on things that lets him take all his misfortune in stride.

CoH2 is an excellent game now. It only took them 4 years but give it a spin, it will surprise you.

But in a way you are not wrong in the slightest because the only reason it is good now is they looted CoH1's rotting corpse for mechanics once it became clear to them they cannot make up new ideas for shit.

Oh and the DLC commanders cashgrab can go suck my dick, for that I have no excuse except that they sorta stopped doing it when they released the 3 new factions.
