Ah, I see. I just assumed you were talking about them because of the Lady Solaria thing...well, that and the fact that I refunded it in the end so I didn't see the later campaign, mission 2 really killed it for me. Will probably pick up on steam sale when it has more content.Worgen said:
I just got some really nasty mental images of Guilliman visiting a fertility clinic to pleasure himself and store his "fluids" in plastic jars. Or maybe he just has a blow-up doll of Saint Celestine around for those times when he needs to "spread his geneseed"...xaszatm said:
God dammit, now I'll be stuck with the dirty implications of Ward's shitty writing all day.
Well, more likely its a blow-up doll of the Eldar Yvraine given how tsundere they act towards each other.Gethsemani said:
...no really, these guy somehow managed to fumble up the writing so bad that in the audiobook Hand of Darkness, Yvraine nearly says, "It's not like I saved your life because I like you". Really, we going in all anime now.

I remember not liking that mission either. Things get better once you get into the real game and out of the early missions plus its not as pick up and play as some other rts games. There is a lot to learn and the game doesn't quite explain how everything works, took me like 5 multi matches to realize the super power also used elite points.Zykon TheLich said:

Not really any lore bullcrap, at least not any more than the Blood Angels and Necrons' truce. There's certainly precedent for even an Ork to be willing to not kill anymore (Ork mercenaries come to mind) and things like those have happened before time and time again in 40k, even if they are the rare exception rather than the norm
(I'm not going to quote all of the same-sounding lack of research, sheep-like comments.)Silentpony said:
Wait what? Have you even played the game? Campaign has 17 Missions and it stops being a MP tutorial pretty quickly. Even so, that isn't a bad thing. Why? BECAUSE IT TEACHES YOU TO PLAY THE GAME.
The game is a strange hybrid of DoW1 large-army focus and DoW2s small army focus, and it works TBH.
I went for Immersion theory, I just played the game straight for about 30+ Hours over the weekend. After an initial WTF-time I found that the game comes together really nicely. The longer matches means that a blunder in the first 5 minutes ala SC2 doesn't kill you, it's a setback but you can come back from it.
As for the 'It's a MOBA' retard comments. Yeah, it has heroes, but we had those in DoW 1 and 2. I can see your point with the lanes but the game is no where near as anal as DOTA/LOL/HOTS. It cuts out the middle man of having to build a specific building to summon your hero. That's it. They aren't invulnerable to Minions, they die pretty easily if you fuck up (and you will) but can provide the extra firepower you need to overcome the enemy if you play them to their strength.
A note while I think about the voice actors. Yeah, Paul Dobson is best Angelos, but they got Alec Newman, freaking Muad'dib to play him this time. Paul Atredies for crying out loud.
(I am professional lurker, have been for years but I'm getting tired of this self-entitled whiny crap that follows every game these days. And the above comment really brought my piss to a boil.)
Ehhhhh... the thing is, it still feels like a very... out-of-character thing for Gorgutz specifically to do. As he's been written he'd have either gotten the hell out of dodge before shit hit the fan, or attack after the fact to rally the boyz. He's a right proper Ork who loves his waaagh, but when the going gets tough he tends to bail ('always have your tunnels dug and ready!') rather than stick around, so a heroic last-stand is a very... odd choice for him.JamesStone said:
