haha, my money is going into Sins too, don't look at me.

It's a period break at my uni next week. Damn, SoSE time!

Got it. Have a few Screenies of the Sisters tonight.

Bless you!

Bless you FOR THE IMPERIUM.

 

Wait, wait, are we going to get all geeky again?

Wait...I have strong deja vu from all this...

 

 

In any case, everyone watch

I got it, too. Installing.

5 minutes for a battle? I like that pace.

 

It's only willpower in the face of work that I havn't bought it already. I'm 'waiting for the demo'.

I'm just posting two from my first fight. well the intro "this is why everyone is here" vid and a fight, just showing off the meltas.

Thanks!

 

I'm most interested in the campaign and if it is worth playing even if one has, like me, completed Dark Crusade as everyone else except the Orks and SM.

 

I don't think I have the devotion for multiplayer, especially with the new races.

I never bother with multiplayer in strategy games. Which is why I pretty much demand an interesting campaign.

the campaign feels exactly like Dark Crusade, just with more territory and special points to access the other planets in the system.

Pre Dark Crusade the general DoW online community was flaming retarded anyway.

 

'LOL, CAMP IN BASE TILL I HAVE 10 PREDITORS!'

 

'wtf y i lose'

 

Proof of this was a game I played to test the waters where I basically held off 2 1/2 hostile players until my two team-mates stoped being Hades.

 

I, personally, owned 3/5s of the map.

I only play with or against friends I know. Random internet matchmaking is fecking annoying. And from across the pond, often painfully slow.

Yeah, the one attraction Soulstorm has would be knowing other people who own it and want to play, since the Sisters of Battle seem interesting.

Oh, you mean:

 

"no livung siant rush b4 im redy!!!11"

When I play with friends I try to keep it as comp stomp games. Although back in The Frozen Throne beta I'd play in max number player games split into two teams.

 

And still would get taken out first.

haha, comp stomp, nice expression.

 

But yeah, i'll tend to do that when playing with friends too (well, friend). The 'Harder' difficulty level was still enough of a challange to be interesting.

Comp stomp(luv it!) was ridiculously hard in Starcraft. Haven't tried it in Dawn of War.

Only things I can comment on so far:

 

The title movie was nowhere near as good as Dark Crusade's, but not nearly as bad as the original Dawn of War's.

 

The background movie when starting the campaign was just silly. Of course, there was really no way around it, they had to explain what 9 races were doing on four planets. Well, these guys were here, these were here, these were here, and then came, and then and then and then....

 

Oh and also, Gorgutz has to be the official hero of the series.

is Gorgutz back?

 

I just gutted the imperial guard hq and was dissappointed... gone are the Dark Crusades little discussions when you invade a place between commanders.

 

Though a fully battlegeared Sister of battle is going to look bad ass.

My word. Iron lore really kicked the bucket on this sucker. It feels unpolished and lacks the little things that made us love DC so much (banter anyone?) anywho, I posted a review on relicnews

I'm not sure how I feel yet. The campaign itself doesn't feel significantly different from Dark Crusade. I've only played one battle with the Sisters of Battle, so I won't say anything there. It was the tutorial. The changes to the Necrons seem minor. One bit I do like is that the power generators have little lights on them indicating how close they are to being used up. The new "unit" for Necron is something I'm undecided on. When you research the Nightbringer, you also get acess to a Deceiver option for your Necron Lord. The Deceiver has a very weak ranged attack, can turn an enemy to your side for a period of time, and an illusionary Monolith. It's nice, but to use it, you have to forgo the Nightbringer, so it feels more like a new ability than a new unit.

 

I played one battle with the Dark Eldar and they were hard to get used to. They are very different from any current race. They have a set and forget build system, which you may have seen in other games. Once a worker starts a building he can be reassigned, which also means you can't speed it up. Though it seems worker downtime can be used for the harvesting of souls or whatever the new Dark Eldar resource is called.

Anyone that can tell me whether the game feels balanced? Are the old races capable of standing up against the newer races?

Sisters at least start out EXTREMLY weak and brittle but with upgrades they become monsters. I did the SM Stronghold and the only way I lost my Sisters was due to massed termies mixed in with Marines and a few vehicles.

 

Also the sisters have Abysmal morale until you give them some upgrades and a leader.

 

Haven't tried the Dark Eldar yet. But playing the sisters of battle is making me hear chainsword revving all over the place.
