I do miss the good ol days of Ages and Empires games. Always played the Dutch. Any faction that made buildings that literally produce gold per second like they did is just too fun to pass up.
Sega knows nothing in terms of the fluff and they only picked up the license because they know they can make good money from it. Instead of being innovative Sega has chosen to go the lazy route and do nothing but copy other successful titles. If Sega had used just 10% of their brains they could have made a worthy sequel but instead they're just going to frankenstein it. What they're calling this Dawn of War I + Dawn of War II + Starcraft mashup is nothing more than Dawn of War 1.5.
Yeah, I would have liked something closer to table top 40k instead of starcraft. Didn't C&C still have unit production on the field though? I was never much of a C&C guy. Designing something like that would have been a lot more work and a bigger risk though, as their hasn't been a really successful implementation of that to copy. So, probably not gonna happen.
I have a question... why GW don't let BH to change "Traitor" name to anything else... but let DoW3 have ninja Gabriel, prisma void rays, full plasma gun squads and so... Is because they want to get all the SC2 players into the new SC3 (sorry...DoW3) since blizzard is not going to make more SCs???
After re-reading the entirety of this thread and the other one it seems to dawn on me that different people like different things and then try to justify why their like or dislike of something is more/less important than the other persons' Controversial perspective I know.
Why the hell are people actually crying about the art direction? It literally looks like a damn Warhammer 40k setting as is proper. Just because its not overly trying to be grimdark-edgy with a poor color palette does not mean its "bad" Literally, the only issue I have is the marine to eldar number ratio, thats about it. ...And Gaybriel jumping around like Donkey Kong in Terminator armor. Though Gaybriel is cancer anyhow, so its not a surprise. I just hope Gorgutz beats his ass.
i wasn't talking about the art lol... Ninja Gabriel is a skill set...i dont care if he has rainbows in his shoulder pads or blood and gore... is just weird as fuck from my point of view... The same with the lasscannons not being lasscannons or weapon/model ratios in the squads... On the other side...I kind of like the art of the game ... the colours and animations are nice!
