Got the Dawn Of War III Open Beta this weekend, so probably playing that and seeing if it'll bring me back or not...I loved the city-builder RTS of the original DOW (Plus expansions) and then was disappointed they completely removed that for DoW2 and moved to a turn-based attack game which I hate...

Yeah, the best of the series imo...3 was good...but then 4+ went stupid.

You liked 2 better than 3? I'm still on 2 so have no idea but have heard that 3 was great.

I loved 3...but I liked the customis-ability and story of 2 better

I'm a ways in and the story on SR2 is definitely quite good.

Board games and stuff this weekend. Mysterium is very good if anyone has an interest in co-operative games.

Co-operative board games?
That doesn't compute.
I play board games to win and crush everyone else's hopes and dreams.

Ha, it's not a computer you're right. Co-op games are fantastic they add another dimension of play that you don't get from competitive games.

Played some of the Dawn Of War Beta this weekend - really like the game, going back to its roots (yet to play the campaign) but the Orks were so overpowered it ruined it a tad...
-
@NattNatt I could not disagree more. I absolutely hated the open beta. The game is just way too simplistic and the races are extremely similar in too many ways. Huge fan on the 40k universe and I wanted to love it but just can't.

Does it go back to traditional RTS roots? Or is it the silly squad based system that was in DoW2?

The squad based stuff is still there but there is no retreat so the likelihood of you losing a squad is high. Everything feels weak except elites.

Ugh. That was really what I didn't like about DoW2.

Back to original DoW roots, base building, RTS, but the maps were small, no AI//campaign and orks were too OP'd so I didn't get a chance to fully try Eldar (master race)

It's not as complex as the first one, in that tech tree's aren't complex and the maps were small//no tactics if VS orks, agreed...but it went back to the roots of DoW and away from the direction DoW II went that put a lot of people off...Hopefully the tech tree's etc will be more complex when released (and ork's be less OP...

What??? It wasn't squad-based? It was RTS...
