The sales are good, thats not the problem. The problem is they're basically all the same sales we've had all year, nothing new. | ||

I played it during the free weekend for one round, and in my opinion that is about as much of that game as i want to play. It was fun, but not overly amazing. Basically, you have a 4x game without a combat system (i really dont count Rock Paper Scissors as a real combat system), with a pretty bland tech tree, and where all races are the same. For some inexplicable reason you also got heroes in the game. It is kind of ok, but nothing special, and the only real thing speaking for it over older 4x games is the eye candy. Note, i enjoyed those 8-10 hours or so i played of it, but i wouldn't really expect more out of that game. In my opinion, if you want a 4x game, there are better choices out there. Depending on how old you accept your games to be, MOO2, SotS1 (No idea how 2 looks at the moment, it was horribly unfinished on launch and i have not yet bought it), SoaSE(If you like it in real time), SE5 and GalCiv2 are simply all better games. I probably forgot some others, too. | ||

Dark crusade offers a risk style campaign that can keep you playing for hours with different factions. Besides, the multiplayer community of DoW is still alive and kicking with the elite mod. In the end if you are only interested in the singleplayer I think you can get up to 30 or 40 hours of entertainment. ah dude, you make me cry!! DoW online is where it's at, so so SO SO much better than the single player (especially dark crusade, which while a cool idea was just very poorly executed). the DoW series is why i bought the THQ pack even though i already had a lot of the games. i don't want to see THQ die.. it isn't perfect, it's riddled with horrendous balance issues (well 7 unique races in DC, it's to some extent unavoidable) but the general gameplay is very fast-paced and interesting. there's no real build up and attack in a wave.. if you have units idle, in general they're being wasted. necrons should never have been put in the game though, as they are contrary to everything awesome about DoW (as well as being easy and imbalanced as fuck) but the game is really just a flawed gem in general. | ||

I probably forgot some others, too. Best 4x type game of the year is still AI War for me. As usual it's 75% off (completel bundle for 4,24€), most people just never notice it because it's not on daily/flash sales. | ||

AI War is not really a 4x game in my opinion, it is more of a Coop Space RTS. It is still a good game and a lot of fun. | ||
