Is the true heart and soul of an RTS the unit call outs? So much of DoW1 is incredibly quotable. It's as much spectacle as it is actual tactics and strategy for the gameplay. Watching Earthshaker rounds also cause serious camera shake as it lands while also making a massive crater on impact? Just perfect, the kind of stuff that makes the genre fun.
>HOIST THE FLAG OF COMMORRAGH!
WE NEED A NEW DRIVER!THIS ONE IS DEAD!~
It is to my unending and preemptive disappointment knowing DoW4 and even Total War 40k won't have lines as quotable as DoW1 much less DoW2's.Still hoping that they turn out alright.
>>737614015For all its other faults, total warhammer did bring a hell of a lot of memorable lines to the table
>It's a "Imperial Guard AI blatantly cheats by doing a scan within fog of war on your invis units as soon as they spawn" match
>>737614057Yeah while typing I started having Karl Franz lines pop into my head.DoW4 on the other hand is going to need a lot of prayers.
>>737614102The Emperor protects, Taucuck
>>737614015they seem to be in on it at least for dow4, so quotable lines might be in, hopefully they wont be cringe
>the cadre will crus- EUGH
>>737614173It has George Droid Techpriest, it's already stacking the odds against itself.
>>737614203>FALL BACK, FALL BACK!
>>737614102yep. even better is when the retards focus on your cultists doing dick-all around the map and not the actually important units.
>>737608039>I'm encased in a box and look like I could be clickable to produce more of me in a RTS or be an icon shown in top left in a MMO or the Sims
>>737614217who cares about the boring faction, when ORKZ are gonna sound ORKEY
>>737612627
>>737614102>It's a "Necron Lord bumrushes and teleports into your base with warriors not far behind at the start of a game" matchDark Crusade gives me nightmares for a reason.
>>737614301I'm just saying that a lot of modern 40k stuff barely has any quotable or even memorable lines or moments in it. I think at best SM2 has just the Dreadnaught bits at the end, and even then it's literally just the random ass Dreadnaught.
>>737614383Chaos raptors were more cancerous
>>737608114>WE WILL SERVE YOU, AND IN RETURN GRANT US THE POWER OF THE DARK GODS>>737608964WTF I love chaos now???
>>737614421meh, SM2 was so generic in qoute aspects except that one scene. everyone in Ultramarines chapter have to sound bored.
>You want a piece of me, boy?>GOLIATH, ONLINE>AK-47s for everyone!>I build for China!>Mammoth Advancing>Fighters, rise up!>Zug zug>Where shall my blood be spilled?Good call outs can make a game feel significantly better when it gets the info it needs to convey while also being flavorful to the faction. Coincidentally, Stormgate looks, sounds, and feels pretty soulless.
>>737614057>WELCOME TO ESTALIA GENTLEMEN
>>737614301>orkz without the Dobson brothersDoubt but I hope it turns out okay
>>737613870too bad according to the investors, what the genre needs more of is soulless starcraft clones with all fun sucked out of the spectacle to placate the mythical "just waiting for the starcraft alternative to appear" e-sports crowd
>>737614676If they get Harry Morris on it they should be fine. He can do some proper orky voices too.
>>737613870For me? It’s the fire brigade playing as two titans approach and start slapping the shit out of each other
>>737614057SUMMON THE ______________!
>Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment
>>737614972Feeling that a lot lately with most entertainment.
>>737613870RA2 had that issue where every single vehicle had the same voicelines with their faction's MBT. So much soul was added with YR expansion and every unit getting a unique voice and lines.>The instrument of doom.
>>737614994True.
WITNESS YOURDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM

>>737612575>BUCK BROKEN
>>737615152
>>737613870>>737615039Unit call-outs, unit cards, random voicelines - are all the signs of a soul because the soul is care. Having varied, fitting and cool voicelines means that the devs actually cared about this rhino tank quoting Khrushchev. Generals and RA2 have the best callouts of them all still to this day
>>737614114>Who calls?>The Empire.>I am France. They will obey.
>>737613870I really liked the unit call outs in Tempest Rising. The mcv shouting HAHA I LOVE THIS PART has earned a place in my brain next to the ye olde rts quotes of yore
>play shitty disco elysium clone>one of the retarded jokes is BRUVA I AM PINNED HEREheheWhy didn't new warhammer games spawn something equally as fun?>inb4 SUMMON THE ELECTOR CUNTSThat is the only fun bit thaat twwfb has
>>737608039>Cross me, and die. I love that Eliphas was the sanest Chaos Lord ever.
>>737615917>Alpha Legion CL who can't didn't get the whole Alpha Legion is super secretive memo >World Eaters warband CL who is dumb but sane enough to temporarily ally with an Ork>Word Bearer Dark Apostle>Alpha Legion musclehead againChecks out
>>737613870It goes a long way, but I don't really miss it when I play faf. I think all the neat designs help make up for them just feeling and whirring.
>>737613870It's the sheer NUMBER of lines that made DoW1 stand out and they were also clear reactions to what was happening. WC3 was the standout game before out in that clicking on units gave you multiple funny lines but that was it. DoW1 was the actual game changer in that regard.
>>737613870Don't be ridiculous anon the heart and soul of an RTS is the well-balanced and fair competitive online multiplayer mode Guns might be that way... let's go the other way./spoiler]
>>737616013AL will never get the love they deserve.

>>737616153their mistake was ever being space marines. malcador taught them the ways of espionage.
>>737613870>Is the true heart and soul of an RTS the unit call outs?No.
is DoW 3 any good? Does it have a campaign with rpg elements like the first two?
>>737616013I personally assume that either1) Alpharius trained them wrong on purpose as a joke2) They were the alpha legion rejects that were being deliberately sent on suicide missions to get rid of them
>>737616542I think this was just before the Horus Heresy novels got to expand on the type of stuff the Alpha Legion actually do with proper subterfuge and sleeper agents.
