Amen. You'd think it shot their dog or something. But w/e.

When he reviewed the game he was far more neutral on it.
Then he started bashing it a week or two after release without offering any idea of what the game actually should be. He hopped on the hatewagon and is riding it all the way up his smug fat ass.
He was one of those "It's not a dawn of war game" folks who have no fucking argument. I understand if people dislike some of the mechanics, but few people were able to atriculate anything more than frothing at the mouth about Gabriel leaping or "ITS A MOBA" or whatever nonsense. That's why Relic had no idea what the fuck to change about the game because people offered useless feedback.
Loved the game. Sad to see it die in the crib. Usually I get a lot more mileage out of Relic than 300 hours. Won't be buying any of Relic's games again.

But you're happy? The sequel to a game that was so late no one expected has now died, and I don't know about yourselves but if I were in the position of Sega then I'd be pulling the franchise with it. No more DoW III, no more DoW.
DoW II is a great game, and Elite makes it much better, but how long are people realistically going to hang around Elite? This community is small enough as it is and having the franchise basically canned isn't going to spur more people to go "Oh remember that great DoW II mod that we'll all play til the end of time".
Everyone's entitled to their opinion but the nature of this thread typifies exactly the kind of circlejerking that puts people off about the Elite community. You think anyone from DoW III is going to come to Elite after seeing post after post memeing the game to death? But then let me guess, you wouldn't want anyone from DoW III coming to Elite because everything's perfect the way it is.
DoW III was a bad game, in my eyes, but the way this community celebrates what is likely the demise of the entire franchise is so childish. It screams shortsightedness. Anyway I don't expect the ringleaders to even read half of what I have to say because it's not HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LOOOOOOOOOOL DED GAEM LOL RERIC FUKKED UP ASS COZ MOBA CLONE FOR RETARD PLAYERZZZZ.

You open your point by saying Relic ignored the community when they first teased DoW III content. It's a little more complex than that. They'd likely been working on it a while, and the chance that a percentage of people online voicing concern, hatred, apathy etc would change anything so far into the development process is quite absurd. Relic have a plan in mind, and for better or worse to keep projects on track they stick to the plan, or Sega isn't going to be too keen in funding them anymore. As Dullahan says, the feedback provided wasn't exactly helpful, since it was mostly concerning how repulsive the artstyle was or how moba the game looked. Very little was actually constructive, and if let's say 50% of your fanbase doesn't like the way it looks, and then 50% of those people are saying what looks bad, and 50% of them are saying why it looks bad, and then everyone has a different and not well fleshed out idea of how to change it, then you don't have much reason to listen to anyone in particular when the fans can't reach a consensus. All companies work like this because bending to the will of some vague wishes is going to lead to complete disarray.
You second point about them lying doesn't seem to have basis because they never lied about what their game would be. They showed off screenshots, then videos, then the betas came out and we could all see for ourselves what the game would look like. Just because it didn't fit the way you wanted it does not mean Relic lied, because this is the only way I can see how you came up with such a statement. They got it wrong, certainly, horribly wrong: they under delivered on key things that you pointed out (obs mode, leaderboards, gamemodes), and that contributed to the demise of the game, but they didn't lie, so that's not valid criticism.

Swiftsabre wrote:No one wants to celebrate the death of DoW as a franchise, but this is exactly the shortsightedness that I'm talking about. DoW III's horrific failure is not going to give Sega much confidence in continuing support for the series as a whole. You can whoop and cheer as much as you like that DoW III is no more, personally I think it's kind of foolish that people would waste so much time and negative emotion to revel in failure because they feel vindicated or whatever, but I don't think I can communicate that to people anymore.

It just makes me sad that, the best rts in the world is dead, just because of a bunch of retards at top. I don't care about DoW III, or even DoW II at this point. Remember, they still haven't fixed the god damm sound bug for 7 years.
Let it die, let it rot, let the nature do what it is right to do
The RTS / MOBA hybrid launched in April 2017

I am pretty sure that if DOW3 had been a success there would be a 100% chance of Relic continuing to move the series in the bad direction that DOW3 took it. DOW3 being a miserable failure might not have the desired result, but imo a disastrous failure is the only chance to get the message into their money-driven heads.
