It is a problem that has befuddled RTS developers for years: how do you create a compelling single-player campaign that's more than just a glorified multiplayer training manual? So many games, even now, don't even bother to try. Relic Entertainment, with standalone Dawn of War II expansion Chaos Rising, has dared to, and the result is perhaps the best effort yet.
"This week when I was scrolling through my Steam library for a game to play I was stumped, until I found a mod which brought fresh air to an old classic. The game was the legendary Dawn of War series by Relic. The Dawn of War expansions; Winter Assault, Dark Crusade and Soulstorm along with other stand-alone titles like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, give the universe the justice it rightly deserved."
Gamecrastinate- With the impending shutdown looming over the games previously covered by Microsoft’s Games for Windows Live service, Relic and SEGA have just announced that steps are being taken to preserve the functionality of online play for the entire Dawn of War series. The original Dawn of War was also patched earlier in the week to replace the online functionality that it also lost due to the Gamespy service closure.
Shame I did not get all the achievements it was fun but wont bother paying it now.
yes!!! that nightmare was annoying having to install this especially when a GFWL game on steam =p
It’s true that retail games in India are cheap when compared to the rest of the world. But that doesn’t change the fact that they come in embarrassingly cheap and shoddy packaging. To make matters worse, PC games did come in international standard packaging a few years back, but it seems the distributors are heading south with the quality since. Time has not been a friend to quality, contrary to popular belief.
We at iLLGaming unbox 3 games ordered from Flipkart to show you the current situation. Hopefully the distributors pick this up and feel our pain, and introduce better packaging, especially for PC games.
These are the games we ordered:
Splinter Cell: Ultimate Edition (Contains 5 Splinter Cell games ) – Rs. 499
Dawn of War II – Rs. 699
Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising – Rs. 299
I throw out the box the moment I activate the Steam key. Half the time the disc doesn't even read and I have to download the full game from Steam.
I just watched the video and I don't know what he's talking about. That's quality packaging.
This is cheap packaging: http://imageshack.com/a/img...
My original copy of Orange Box looks worse than a $2 pirated DVD from a street vendor.
Even though I prefer the feel, look and smell of plastic cases...
This by far is more eco friendly then what we currently have now.
Though, Is it made by recycled paper/cardboard?
I'm a happy Chaos Space Marine =)
Pick it up awsome game ov been playin n painting warhaamer stuff since I was a kid game is hott
Man I've been waiting for this one for a while now. Looks like Relic didn't disappoint.
One thing I did notice though, is after my original DoW2 updated yesterday, the splash screen is now AMD? Must have dropped Nvidia which is great imo. I wonder if this game is more optimized for ATI cards? The shadows seem to look a little better now.
As a 5870 user, I was getting tired seeing that "The way its meant to be played" logo all the time.
Go Relic! Go AMD/ATI!
I need to buy this soon, DoW2 is awesome
damn, so many games, so little time !
