I know I'm not the only one who thinks this but Dawn of War 3 looks like... UTTER CRAP! #1 They are removing the tactical gameplay that DoW2 had and dumbing it down like that with basebuilding and everything, #2 They are removing good cover and adding some kinds of craters/walls covers thingys that you put your units into and you can't move them around so your fragile little brains don't have to think, #3 The artstyle DOES NOT FIT Warhammer 40k AT ALL! Zoom into those Eldar Wraithguards for example, they look like plastic toy figures... So does everything else here and NO, do not tell me ever that this is WIP because DoW2's screenshots before release were the same as the game looks like now, same for all other relic's games they announced and all looked the same on release, and they said they wan't to keep this type of artstyle and gameplay and all that in the livestream 2 days ago (from the time of this post), so you have NO RIGHTS to say it's not finished cause this is the product we will get most likely knowing Relic. #4 A RAINBOW?! Which terrible game had a rainbow in it's announcement screenshot? Yup. And yeah, rainbows in 40k? No. OH basebuilding. #5 The basebuilding. WHY? RELIC WHY?! WHY BRING THIS CRAP BACK! It does NOT fit into 40k and should never be a thing in a 40k game. I never said I hated basebuilding I'm just saying, that it doesn't fit into 40k at all. You have a fucking fleet in the orbit and you can drop down or teleport troops/vehicles down on the ground without the need of making a structure. what is this? Dawn of Bob the basebuilder 3? That's what I'm gonna call Dawn of War 3 now. DoW2 was way more lore friendly with its interpretation if Warhammer 40k combat and the fact that some of the Dawn of War 3 screenshots show really bad artwork combined with really bad looking models (I'm looking at you, hunchback marines) and basebuilding with bases that don't even look Space Mariney. Watch this video and you'll see. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYvgk6JVsNM Now there is a person that nailed why Dawn of War 3 will be crap and I totally agree with him. I cannot fit all he said in this thread so I'll just have to show you the videos and you'll see for yourself. Watch.

JUST LIKE DIABLO3 they are destroying their franchise and the solid player base that still plays DOW2....will still play DOW2 not DOBTBB3 (dawn of bob the basebuilder) its sad i was just complaining about how they ruined DOOM and made it for kids, now this? what are these people doing to our games? cashing out and not caring? where is the love for gaming anymore? is there any or is it all strictly business now? wtf is going on?! I have faith in eternal crusade!
Still far too early to tell. General consensus among the DoW fanbase seemed to be "bigger armies and basebuilding good, tiny armies bad" so that is what Relic went with.
Mostly the casual and non-thinking playerbase said that. Don't give me that shit though. Dawn of war 2 had bigger battles than Dawn of War 1 even without mods. You get to that in end-game. Just pointing out the simple fact that Dawn of War 2 is a better and more lore friendly game as opposed to Dawn of War 1. Dawn of War 1 was broken in all kinds of ways.
