Do you prefer Dawn of War 1 or 2?

Only really liked 1

I like both, DoW 1 has probably one of the best gameplays for RTS in general, so the weak campaigns are acceptable, DoW2 has one of the best campaigns in SP games in general, so it balances out.

I played 2 on Hard and kind of did badly, I think in that game it is possible to get stuck and not be able to finish the campaign because the difficulty ramps up very quickly and if you don't do things correctly you could just straight up not be able to win at all in the later parts?

DOW3 ?

Only liked 1 because of necrons and dark eldar

DoW as a whole really shines with spoken unit lines. Easily dethroned WC3 in that aspect.

1

Really, it genuinely has one of the best voice lines I've ever heard in vidya, almost all of them are fantastic. I sometimes listen to them before painting some 40k miniatures just to hype myself up

Using the Krieg is a good example of what has been missing from all 40k games so far

W3s got the campaign dialogue spot on and of course deserves awards for all its joke lines.
DoW's voice work in absolute ham and crazy is on a different dimension. Even lands the emotional ones right
>Tell us, Tarkus. What power could be worth betraying us all?
>The power to save you.
>Tarkus reciting codex lines
>Avitus telling him to shut the fuck up
Don't even get me started on the bantz in Dark Crusade

DoW2 but I'm pretty biased. I was never a fan of base building and resource farming in strategy games. I'd rather play a civ or grand strategy game for that.

Easily Dow2 for me, but I'm terrible at rts and 2 is much less of an rts. Last stand I've played way more than any other mode, I don't know how they made it so fun despite the horrible input latency.

2 but I also like 1.
I just like 2's gameplay better, more deployment and battle focused over base building.

I prefer DoW 1 only because it has more factions. DoW 2 was amazing in nearly every aspect and I hope the third game turns out to be decent.

You even got one autist in the YT comments section writing this shit up.

2's campaign and OST
1's everything else
I only think 1's voice acting is better because Gabriel had the right voice actor, otherwise they are equal

I also think it's pretty bad how they prioritized Sisters and Dark fucking Eldar over Tyranids.

1 because I'm a near boomer and we formed tourneys in school but I watched some 2 and it looks bretty fun
Shame 3 was bad despite that absolute fucking kino trailer

Like em both. But I want another Space Marine game.

Hope is the ultimate power. If there is no hope, then there is no tomorrow.

DoW2 vanilla and CR had different voices from Retribution, I think it was the split with GFWL and Steamworks forcing them to redo lines? I forget. The voice work quality is less noticeable because of how some voice files cut off a second early. 1's got the memorable lines dominated completely though, 2's still got a number of great ones. Just look at the Lord Commissar.

You don't talk shit about my bdsm elves it was the ONE THING I liked about that game. Their theme song was amazing.
Speaking of which is there ANY
and I mean ANY
Faction or race that are even remotely like the Deldars? Pirates, mad scientists, bdsm addicts, space faring, elvish.

Also iirc the Nids back then weren't as well developed as they were when DoW2 was released, which is precisely why the first DoW2 campaign used nids.

An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded

Chaos gods in his head.

>Abandoning all vice and following the path of the Incubus
>Get some wings grafted onto you and be a Scourge
>Haemonculi covens
>Maybe rise through the ranks, kill your superiors, and become a Archon of your own cabal
The path of the dark eldar books were fun

I think the devs said that they wanted to do the Nids justice and if they were to make them properly DoW1's engine wouldn't hold it

No, you can easily grind for loot drops and XP to get more powerful. The only way to get stuck is if you're legit too terrible at the game to beat the levels.

UA is a bit dumb imo, titans and shit for minor engagements is way over the top.

He believed that his father was a god. When his dad said no, he kept going. When Papa forced him to understand that his godlike power did not make him a god, he turned to actual gods because Big E is/was/will be too autistic to raise his sons properly

1. I didn't like it when they got rid of base building and resource gathering.

More like that was their shitty excuse considering DoW2 is squad skirmishes
Fucking "we want the MOBA audience" when we could have had tidal waves of gaunts being blown apart by heavy bolters

I am split on that one. While I like the focus on smaller maps I dislike the aspects you mentioned, no basebuilding. Also they put some CoH 2 in it but not enough. For example taking a specific chapter as doctrine or tactic similar to CoH2. That with the plethora of chapters could made the game even more unique as 40k game.

Its hilariously dumb, but lore has always been over the top and i like seeing machines that are pretty much never used in tabletop

>Chaos is best
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.
