Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III

So when we getting Dusk of War?

I picked this up on a random steam sale sometime in the long long ago. I had heard from reliable sources that DoW III was an all time low point for this franchise and was better off avoided. Taking that advice, Dawn of War III sat in the library untouched for years just like ol' Blind Bucktooth Betty. Fired this bad boy up after some YouTube related DoW IV hype and it had the visual appeal of spending your Saturday drinking Ipecac and spraying the porcelin after a night on the curried clams. Maximum settings in 2026 on a 9800X3D and this still somehow looks like I'm running it on a Nokia in 2008. Games Workshop must have never seen worse models of their product. Still looking forward to DoW IV but if this third entry is still somehow in your library and you considering installing or even worse actually thinking of purchasing and wasting, (as of time of writing), $60 Australian Dollery-doos*; Then consider instead this title proof that not every game should be preserved and that it is ok sometimes to just pretend that some games don't exist... On that note, I'm still very much looking forward to DoW IV though I do think it strange they skipped straight to IV after II...

Might be the worst game I've played ever.

Too many game crashes.

if you get it on sale for $8 it's perfectly fine for its campaign. Orks are hilarious in this one. DoW1 is the goat, still, and i just played 2 and 2 was better for certain people. Doing a playthrough for DoW 4 and if you only get one game, get the DoW1 on sale and it's actually fun. I didnt like 2 until i unlocked terminator armor, but some people like it. $8 to play through DoW3's campaign seems an ok deal. worth it going into 4, i think. but there are some negatives to know about: complaints: 1. campaign takes forever because elites are weak and the resource gain is non existant. Expect to wait 30-45 minutes to get enough mats for a single army build. I was playing on normal, and I'm not good but reinforcing units requires mats and simply there's not enough. Can't imagine playing this on hard difficulty. Usually i go for achievements but i wont even bother here. 2. not a fan of how the heros are so dominant, personally. More of a moba than an RTS. neat concept that if you level them up in MP they'd be buffed for single player, but i would never want to play this MP lol.

Terrible game. Too many fatal bugs to count. Don't waste your money on this warmed over garbage.
