In an upcoming interview with Dawn Of War II's Lead Designer Jonny Ebbert, we talked about the fan feedback for the original Dawn of War, and Ebbert told us about the main criticisms levelled at the first game by the fans.
George Barker, of Bits and Pieces, takes a look at the quality of the Warhammer games being given away in this month's White Dwarf magazine.
When Jurgen Post joined the Sega Europe head office, the publisher wasn't in good shape.
In fact, when he took the role of COO and president in 2012, the firm was in desperate need of a new direction.
Sega you f***** up huge you had so many insanely loyal fans that you got it when you killed the Dreamcast and then your games just went to total s***it's so unfortunate I still have a Genesis and a Dreamcast tucked under my TV next to the PS4 and Xbox One. You were my number one Saga and there's a lot of guys like me that would have bought any system you launched. It took me awhile but I fully realize now that the Sega of my youth the Sega that I love died with the Dreamcast there's none of you left.
@Xi,
The difference is you are upset over a false perception. Sega simply ran out of money and couldn't exist as a platform holder.

They rely on Sonic Bollocks too much. Instead of innovating they just make more Sonic and his furry friends crap.
"Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III has all the ingredients of a good game and a good Warhammer, but the truth is that it confuses me. If sometimes I find myself loving the game and am grateful for having another good RTS, on the other hand there are decisions that baffle me. It could be a great game but, as it is now and at full price, it is difficult to recommend if you are not a fan. The future is in the hands of Relic, which has good foundations to support, improve and expand this game, which could be excellent, but is only average."
Just reading Dawn of War sends shivers down my spine!
Too many hours, too many great fun loving caring hours on a rainy day RTSing enemies for the EMPEROR! XD
Great game! I hope this sequel delivers! Really do! (fingers crossed)
That the Tau and our Allies will soon be heading into the conflict to secure the planet and system for the Greater Good.
But yeah their support wasn't all that great in the first one I mean I think it took 4 to 6 months to patch the SoB glitch etc etc
Dawn of War ruined me on other RTS, I just couldn't go back after playing that game. The only game that has stood up to it for me after its release was Company of Heroes and that's because it was also Relic (Homeworld rocks too) and it used some of the same principles from Dawn of War.
I'm an Eldar player and when I first saw the fight animations, I was hooked. DoWII is probably the reason I might not be playing Starcraft 2 anytime soon.
