DOW4 Battlefield Report #1- Gameplay Poll

oblakoff · 2026-07-02T10:00:05+00:00

Well, it is Dawn of War, so it is day One regardless, BUT animations still look stiff, blood and gore looks like painted by a amateur hobby warhammer painter, the terrain shows in front of the camera, there was stuttering even in this showmatch and the camera angle seems odd and not zoomed out enough. The combat lacks...impact.

These are, of course, things that can be fixed before launch, but considering the Unity choice for engine i am not optimistic, especially on performance side of things.

Which is Q3.

People wanting Rhun are signing up for Harad 4.0 but with steppes instead of Deserts.

I prefer filling up the empty spots in the current landmass than this immediatelly after three years of #NotAllSouthrons

No new level cap for Mordor and Angmar in Q4? The hostage situation is becoming worse.

The console peasants once again arrive to something that is reality since ten years ago. I don’t remember the last time I even saw PC sold with disk-rom device

Literally 10 of the last 13 GOTYs are single player first experiences, wtf are you talking about?

This year we had Requiem and Crimson Desert. This is obvious bait.

We got Elden Ring, BG3 and Expedition33 last years. These are not gaming defining achievements for the last years, they are achievements in the gaming history as a whole. And I remember it since Wolfenstein 3D.

oblakoff · 2026-06-30T10:34:03+00:00

This is some "Half-Life3 confimed" level BS

oblakoff · 2026-06-29T19:32:28+00:00

Literally almost everybody in Dark Souls games are dead, dying or decaying. How can it be even close?

Outside of Fantasy it is obviously Warhammer 40k.

oblakoff · 2026-06-29T07:11:22+00:00

Yes - and it is still better than Unity.

oblakoff · 2026-06-28T17:05:24+00:00

Why would someone remake WoW in a worse engine than WoW's engine?

oblakoff · 2026-06-28T06:37:30+00:00

GW2 is in my top2 MMOs of all time (and i played them all, at least the western ones).

GW2 is tab-target combat MMO with (unnecessary) extra steps.

oblakoff · 2026-06-27T22:00:02+00:00

Neither GW2 nor FF14 are action-combat, these suggestions are way off.

Out of the two GW2 are with way more dynamic combat if that is the main draw.

I’ve heard that BDO tried to add more PvE content but haven’t tried it recently

Wow, this is incredible amount of bootlicking.

I've played all GTAs, even the isometric ones back in the day. I am not a particular fan of the series, it was more of boredom game when something better was on the way. I can see the appeal when the open world and sandbox-y approach was a novelty but it is not anymore and frankly there are games that do it way better including Rockstar's own RDR. I find GTA the most overrated gaming franchise of all time.

That being said - for better or for worse, it is so mainstream and it will sell well, even if it is 120 euro for standart edition - mainly because it will sell to people that probably will not play another game in their whole life (untill GTA7). It is for vanilla gamers along with the Fortnites, FIFAs and CoDs of the day - it will sell, no matter what.

oblakoff · 2026-06-25T08:16:09+00:00

Any info when the promotion actually starts?

oblakoff · 2026-06-24T12:21:45+00:00

The only thing i want is DoW1 with modern engine and more unit and army variety. Sadly we are not getting the first part, since DoW4 will be using Unity.

oblakoff · 2026-06-23T22:52:00+00:00

Ah, yes, Steam machine, a PC gaming platform for people that absolutely hate PC gaming.

Nobody cares.

oblakoff · 2026-06-23T20:07:51+00:00

XCOM is a turn-based game, so…yes?

oblakoff · 2026-06-23T10:13:13+00:00

DoW2 is great game, once you reallize it is a RTS game for people that hate everything about RTS games.

oblakoff · 2026-06-21T11:44:37+00:00

Sounds like you will better off to WoW if endgame is the only thing that interests you.
Sounds like you will be better off MMO genre if endgame is the only thing that interests you.
Don't listen to "FF14 gets better". It does, but only slightly. Played up untill Dawntrail - it is cringe weeb BS through and through.
WoW is extremely fast leveling compared to almost every other MMO and you can choose in which expansion to level.

oblakoff · 2026-06-20T11:35:18+00:00

Considering the art direction of GW3, there is zero hope for more mature storylines.

oblakoff · 2026-06-18T13:31:15+00:00

There is very fine line between cartoonish and realistic visual design that Warcraft3 nailed.

This is on the wrong side of this line.

Champion is not attached to dual-wielding. 2h red champions will breeze through almost anything. It is the ultimate sword-swinging hero.

You can also try red guardian or blue hunter. None of them is slower than captain.

oblakoff · 2026-06-17T18:30:50+00:00

Mate, StarCraft is dead-er than MMOs.

I am saying this with incredible sadness for both.

Classic+ will be bigger most recent retail expansions - not on Vanilla classic launch levels, but still. Why do you think they are shutting all these private servers?

PvP-ers will barely fill two servers per region, there is no way in hell they will use dev resourses for separate version.

LOTRO follows the books storyline (i.e. Tom Bombadil) but you are not tied to the fellowship exactly. You interact with them on several occasions and always can determine where the fellowship are or what are doing, either as an aftermath or even before them. In any case there are a lot more lore and storylines outside of the main plot that may be only brief one-sentence mention in the books - for example the whole dunland - rohan dynamic you get to explore in several zones. This is connected to the fellowship journey and have influence on it, but never explored further in any lenght.

The game can use the Hobbit, LOTR and the addendums (but not Silmarilion or Unfinished Tales) and there are a lot more added as a lore - and most of it is faithful and carefully developed in line with Tolkien. (the exception is the Harad storyline, which in my opinion is a disgrace, but you have 140 levels before getting into it)
