As always, what some people enjoy and think is fun might be alien to other people and vice versa, but yes as I've mentioned it is your good right to not like the game after having played it yourself.
Adeptus Noobus wrote:- shallow base building Funny you mention this because this is actually one of the few strategic elements in this game ^^
I've mentioned it because compared to other games in the genre (Total Annihilation, C&C, Age of Empires to name a few) it is rather shallow. You don't eveb ehave any defense structures for example (talkin turrets here).
Adeptus Noobus wrote:- Elites that are too strong Rather: This game being way to focused on Elites, they should not have that much of an impact tbh
Which is basically what I meant, Elites being too strong, being able to wipe "hordes" of line infantry units with 1 skill shot is a big no go, atleast in my book.
Adeptus Noobus wrote:- a rather lack luster campaign Rather: extended tutorial
Indeed, the gameplay was okayish for a campaign I'd say. Let's be honest, most campaigns for multiplayer centric titles are glorified tutorials (i.e. For Honor). My problem with the campaign was the boring story, that was predictable and boring.
Adeptus Noobus wrote:. the Artstyle (which is subjective, so not really sure if that counts or not) while you are right, this was one of the main offenders for many because it also touches subjects such as immersion, which this game lacks very much
I know that lots and lots of players don't like the artstyle/graphics, but you can atleast make the game look more grimdark with programs like reshade.
Adeptus Noobus wrote:- a modern take on RTS meets Moba (the game mode that is) because they wanted the game to be both things at the same time, they have failed for the game to be good in either category
Agreed.
Adeptus Noobus wrote:- the Elite and Doctrine system with lots and lots of possible configurations to play around with this is actually a great addition in my oppinion
It would be in theory, if certain doctrines wouldn't be so strong compared to other doctrines nobody ever uses.
Adeptus Noobus wrote:- bigger armies (and spamming of certain units ) which is stupid that it can/did actually work
I guess being able to spam op units is a trademark of a normal RTS, does that mean that I like that, hell no. The only thing you could do to prevent stuff like that happening would be either hard caps (like you are only allowed to field 3 whirlwinds tops) or soft caps (where the price increases for each new unit of the same type - [example: The 1st whirlwind costs 100 req, the 2nd 150 req, the 3rd 200 red, and so on])
Adeptus Noobus wrote:I really really wanted this game to be something great but at the moment it simply isn't.
You and me both, but I still enjoy it for what it is, a rather shallow rts with the 40k brand, which is still good fun if you have 2 players with you whom you can talk to and which can still evolve via new game modes, armies and maps. Only time will tell and Sega ofc, if they are happy with the sales numbers or not.
Adeptus Noobus wrote:Most of the lobbies are vs AI (fucking really?). When I say most I mean 2 of 5 lobbies. Yes, 5 shabby fucking lobbies for a game that is barely a month old. At any given moment there are supposed to be around 1.5k - 2.5k players online. Where are all these people?
They could be using the quickmatch option, not sure though.
Adeptus Noobus wrote:Relic needs to answer a lot of questions but as always are nowhere to be seen or heard.
That's a trademark of relic, they never were that great when it comes to PR and community work so to speak, which is a shame.
My main problem is the fanbois and haters (i really hate both terms) that claw at eachother for liking or not liking any form of media. It seems to me that both parties only think in extremes, you either think the game is the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ or Satan incarnate, there seems to be no middleground and I really don't like that, its exhausting trying to talk to fanbois and haters alike.
So again, if you like the game play it and don't let other people take the fun you have with the game away from you. If you don't like the game, voice your concerns in a proper way and be done with it, move on and play a game you might enjoy instead. The world doesn't end just because game A is not to your liking and no amount of hate directed to fans or the devs will change that. (This is not directed at you Noobus, but certain other people on this forum)
I hope you know what I'm trying to say.
