Good Morning everyone *big hugs and waves*

Just a quick post before leaving for university. I hope you're all doing fine :)

That sounds lovely !!
(I'm sure the peanut butter jar will have its little effect... wait and see) :-)
Wow you did play quite a lot... I don't know the games you have mentionned yet, though I own Clarc at least...
I hesitated about Gone Home, when I saw it with a big discount... but the reviews weren't terrific, yes...

Dawn of War 2 is Company of Heroes reskinned for Warhammer 40K in large part.
They decided to change the series by making it like something they were already doing.

I've beaten 2, I've beaten Chaos Rising, and Retribution's been sitting on my desktop for months since I've had very little desire to play more of the same, let alone play it 7 times.

Don't worry about it, the thought's appreciated whether the imaginary cups are elaborate or not. =)

**Blorff** ... as much as I love peanut butter, that just sounds terrible! n__n The grease would never come off! :-p

*big epic hug*
Hope you have a nice day! :-)

Good morning!

I hope you are doing well?

Have a good gay at university!

I am sure it will, Agent loves his peanut butter. :-)

Clarc is quite fun, but it get's a little repetitive. The story is also a little predictable, but overall it is a fun and short puzzle game. (The robot reminds me of Wall-E.)

I was not a fan of Gone Home. I personally thought it was dull, and overrated. The ending made little sense, and the hidden story about the uncle and the dad (if that's who they were, and if I was reading into things correct) was not really that good either. Do you know what the story is about? My partner was gifted it due to the subject matter, her friend thought we would enjoy it. But even with us being able to relate a little, I found it still quite dull and not really worth all the praise it got in the media.

I have not played Company of Heroes, but it was quite the deviation from the original format, so I can see it being just a skin for another game. To be honest, from what my brother told me and from the little I played, the DOW 2 games seem just as repetitive and dull as the later DOW 1 games. If GOG ever got them I would probably pick them up when on a really good sale, just so that I could give them a play through, but I would not pay too much, and I doubt if they have a lot of replayability.

You would be right.

Also, by the end of the game, the best armor made available completely negates the whole cover-based tactical thing since characters in Terminator armor destroy terrain by running straight through it, so everything they try to build up ends up being pointless.

As soon as I first played the series and they were doing what amounts to boss fights against enemies who take hundreds or thousands of shots to kill, even the pretense of it being an RTS went out the window.
Not sure what the hell they were going for with that, honestly.

*big energizing hug for Tom*
*big feel better hug for Agent*
*big comforting hug for owl*
*big happy hug for dd*
*big download speed up hug for crow*
*choose yourself hugs and waves for everyone else*

:D

*extra big friendly thank you hug for Moon*
Hope you are doing well :-)

Hello, Moon! *big happy return hug*

How are you? I hope your holiday is still going great?

Well, no, it's quite logical...
I can't stand seing people I love feeling down.
Ok... so we both try to get each other's mind off things... that should work ! :-)
Nothing much to do for the moment... plus, the computer specialist is here at the office to fix a lot of things, so I might have to leave my computer at any time... everyone seems to be running in circles... ):-| hmpf...
So, let's keep the waffles away for the moment...
**Blb blb blb blb blb blb silly sinking hug**

That's accurate. Once everyone is powered up, you're buzzsawing through pretty much everything, no cover required.

At this point, I'm definitely not on board for more Warhammer 40K games, between how badly Dawn of War fell apart as a series, how off Dawn of War 2 is, how bad Space Marine and Space Hulk were.
In particular, I'm not buying any more Relic-based RTS games without seeing a lot of videos and getting a lot of feedback first, since they seem to have gone to shit completely.

**Enormous happy-to-see-you and thank-you-for-the-comforting-hug, hug**
Moon ! How are you doing... it's been ages since I last talked to you... !!

Good morning. Hope you're having fun on your vacation. =)

I think most of the PC games I have seen for 40K (or Warhammer in general) are terrible. I love the whole lore of 40K, but over the last few years Games Workshop has just been destroying it all and lending its IP to everyone. I saw another 40K RTS game coming up, I don't remember where, but the graphics looked just terrible, worse than the original DOW. It reminded me of an old 90s RTS, where the infantry are the same size as the vehicles. From how the DOW 1 games progressed, and seeing the half-arsed DOW 2 games, I think Relic are just cutting corners and not really putting any effort into it. Why would they, there are enough fanboys still to probably justify all these horrible 40K games.
