Fishy Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Tyranids; this should be very interesting. I liked the campaign modes from the previous games, and aparently this one is even better. I'll definately be getting this. Hopefully they won't try and make us buy 10 expansion packs this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeting_Gman Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 So far, I think the Tyranids are a bit bland, but what can I say as I haven't even played it! It looks great though and I am completely enjoying Dawn of War at the moment. Here are some videos: http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/23108 http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/20945 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaon Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Piffle. Nobody cares about Tyranids except Tyranid players, and they're too busy looking up Xenomorph porn and stripping the junk food sections of your local supermarket of all organic matter for anyone to care what they think. One thing I really hoped they'd do with this one is introduce army variations. For those of you who haven't played the tabletop game, (almost) every army has various factions, chapters, regiments or whatever that each have slightly differing playstyles. To use those attention-hogging Space Marine bastards as an example, the White Scars legion focuses heavily on maneuverability, fast attacks and lightning-strike tactics, whereas the Blood Angels prefer to just charge screaming into melee and carve up some shit. It would have been a lot of work, but by god it would have been worth it. It'd mean people would more or less be free to choose the army they liked, rather than the army that best suits their playstyle, since you'd more or less be able to cater to any playstyle with every army using this method. Right now, though, they're just glorified colour schemes. Thousand Sons need some love, damn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan The Politician Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 tyranids more like zerg am I right I believe zerg are more like tyranids, as the first tyranids (genestealers) were introduced in the 1980s (read the Gaming and Gaming history section of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranids ).

Not to worry, we have carnies to fill in for your crustacean needs. Has anyone had the alledged misfortune of buying soulstorm? Only now I'm finally reaping the benefits after nearly a year of it disappointing me. Though the week will probably short-lived, I'm gonna milk the early beta goodness for what it's worth.

Dhsu Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I was considering it now that it's on sale for $7.50. Seems like it would be worth it for 2 new races. What say you guys? I don't care particular much about the DoW2 beta though, since I haven't even played the first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care particular much about the DoW2 beta though, since I haven't even played the first game. It's not that bad. I mean, not since they fixed the game breaking bugs. Good luck doing anything except getting carved into bloody chunks as Dark Eldar, though. You best be trollin'. Why would they exclude those two races when they're already fucking done? Hell if I know. One assumes that they've made some substantial changes to the game's mechanics and they didn't have the time to apply them to more than four new races. I'm guessing they didn't go with the original four from the first game because Chaos was "too similar" to the Space Marines. And because the Tyranid players were probably starting to bitch a bit after three expansions and no appeasement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
