@6:47 I don't think it was a failure to load. If you pay attention to the dialogue window you bring up with each seemingly empty space in that particular level, you can read how the characters whose "images failed to load" seem bewildered themselves. It's like they're trying to radio in, but there's too much interference for both sides to understand what's going on each other. So they try to shout at each other, "do you read me? hello?", to no avail. Again, one of those little details that just add to the game's weird refinement.
I think what makes this game so good is that you can *tell* it was made with passion. Even if that passion is partially an excuse for the creators guro fetish, it just works.
Spittin total truth over here!
Oh hey, I recognize this game! Your channel inspires me on how to be better, and this video is no different. I'm glad we're both looking forward to this game!
Thanks man! Well I wouldn't have known about it apart from your video so I've got you to thank! Can't wait for it to drop!!
This game seems interesting, not the whole tentacle reality bending monster but the healing system. I am one of the people who stares directly at eldritch abomination and says 'neat, you exist' then be on my way. Lastly, here is a joke for you as well as the readers. How many eldritch abominations does it take to change a lightbulb? Seven. One to unscrew the lightbulb and the rest to chant, "IA! IA! CTHULHU FHTAGN!" (In his name, in his name, Cthulhu shall be praised!)
I wanted MORE tentacle reality bending than I got.... but guessing that will come in the full version ;-) "neat, you exist" is most Napolean Dynamite thing to say to an eldritch horror... lol. And I definitely chant IA! IA! CTHULHU FHTAGN! when I change a lightbulb. How else to you guarantee that the power will return to the element?
I followed your camera step and it did not change the distance of my camera.
@montanajones7709 Sorry dude. Not sure it will help but you can turn full 3d camera on in the game settings menu. I read that it helps although it didn't make any difference for me. Which game are you trying to alter the camera on? And which file are you putting the camera high.lua file in?
@@montanajones7709 you can see if this camera mod /instructions will be more useful.. www.moddb.com/games/dawn-of-war-soulstorm/addons/camera-mod-for-dow
@@FreybeardPC Soulstorm and wherever you told me. I followed along step by step, second by second.
@@FreybeardPC I'll try out these steps
@montanajones7709 let me know if it works or not. Sorry it didnt work out thr first time! I'd be keen to know if you get it going what the problem was.
Not bad. :)
@@minimmats cheers!
The invisible characters at the 6:43 mark is intentional; At that point in the game the Martyr's mental condition has decayed a substantial amount, her dreams/recollections of her brother now appearing as hallucinations in reality while those in reality (literally) fade, the character you're talking to at the 6:43 mark even asking "Are you okay?"
Ahh that's good to know. I did wonder about this. Thanks for letting me know!
Primaris > Fake guide
Didn't know this game existed, I don't plan on buying it because I prefer stratergy/management game. 1:05 A battle angel hmm? Reminds me of a song named 'Angel with a shotgun' Now as for my opinion on weapons degradation, I can tolerate it seeing as I have a good amount of patience. But there is a reason why game developers don't add it into their games. Sure, it makes gunplay realistic but it gets frustrating when your weapon/vehicle gets jammed/disabled multiples times during or even before seeing combat. You don't want to play a tank game only to sit there at the edge of the battlefield while getting swarmed by enemies, just because your engine broke down during transit (and if you do then greetings fellow masochist).
Yep. I can appreciate that. I found it weird how much I liked it here! Maybe it's because I liked having more control and interacting with the guns... I have a juvenile mind and I just like to have my Hollywood moment of reloading a cartridge after I've wasted a guy like I'm Schwarzenegger or something 😉 Doesn't make any sense because I kind of hated the same "repair" mechanic in star trucker!!!! So... I guess I'm inconsistent..
Funny that we just discussed DRG in discord, because I just got recommended your short! What class do you prefer? I started as a Scout but I've since then transitioned to Engi
@@SausageMahoney1992 haha! I had a similar swap. Started as driller and passed through scout on my way to liking engi best too 😉 I like those three pretty equally. I don't have as much fun as the gunner class for some weird reason!
@FreybeardPC same. I think from most to least my favorites are Engi, Scout, Driller, and Gunner lol. Gunner does a lot damage...but that's about it haha. No real "mechanics" imo
Mods, lots of Mods!
@@Marinealver it's the Moddy-est!!!
This game has actually been on my wishlist for a little while now, as well as the original which I found through this game. It isn't my type of game necessarily, but it definitely looks fun so I'll keep it on my wishlist!
@SausageMahoney1992 i actually had more fun with it than I thought i would! I'm not much into shooters, but it hit the spot when I was looking to wind down after work.
As someone who bought it because had nothing better to do, let me tell ya... It's worth it man 😐👍🏻
No matter what I do, I cannot get Dawn of War Anniversary to work on my copy of Windows 11. I've installed DX9, Swapped over the graphics configs from Soulstorm to Dow 1, and even went out of my way to find obscure hex edits to make it work. And nothing.
@LinkieNecronLore ah bugger. That sucks. I'm sorry. Not sure if they can help, or if you've tried it, but the dawn of war reddit guys have a few modders who know the game pretty well backwards. Maybe they can help? What's it doing exactly when you start it? Is there screen popup? Nothing at all? Blue screen of death?
"Sci-Thigh" lol looks like a weird mesh of older zelda era games, mixed with japanese visual novel game chat. and minecraft enchanting tables lmao
Addon comment: the durability is an interesting thing; i've wondered why that hasn't been a thing AT ALL in battlefield or COD games, granted it would probably be bitched about as "making the game unplayable bro" but a tiny bit of grungy realism in a SHOOTER game _would_ make it feel more "fleshed out" ya know? less of the usual, artificial "perfect all the time, 100%" plastic, kinda you know?
Haha i took a while to come up with that title, honestly ;-) Totally agree with you about the weapon degradation... i thought it was gonna be a huge pain in the ass and was tempted to choose the option to skip it, but I'm glad I tried it... that "fleshed out" thing is exactly how I felt about it
I have been playing on and off for 10 years now, didnt need the guide, but i enjoy hearing people talk about this game and it was a well made video 👍
I'm glad I'm not the only one that watches content on topics I already know, but just like to hear other people discuss! Thanks for watching!
I just got the unification mod yesterday. This shit is INSANE
This is a great video, all the mod stuff and getting MP to work with friends used to be such a headache
Thanks for checking it out! Yeah, I've definitely had issues trying to play with friends too - one of the many things that drove me to make the vid!!
I was a Dune 2 man, didn't get into C&C all that much and I stopped with RTS games, then DoW came along and I fell in love with the RTS genre all over again, it is so polished in every way. I didn't know much of anything about 40k when I first saw it, but I sure got into it after this. Soundtrack is awesome too, to this day Chant gives me goosebumps. The story driven nature of it really grabbed me too, which the 2 follow on games kinda did away with sadly. Always remember to Walk softly... and carry a Big Gun!
Nice! I was a massive fan of C&C back in the day. Funny thing i wasn't impressed with my first outing of DOW... then it just clicked and I couldn't get enough! Soundtrack is freaking great. Agree!
Wish this game had taken off more as an Esport than it did. Gameplay wise its objectively the best RTS out there in my opinion, or atleast up there with AoE2/4 and Starcraft. I never got to play it much in competetive multiplayer as I was just a child when it was released, and by the time I had gotten that RTS competetive spirit, I could barely find people to play with. Had so high hopes for DoW2/3, to become THAT game. Crushed dreams all of it.
Kind of surprised if didn't take off as an e-sport! I guess SC2 took all the spotlight. There's still multiplayer going on even now if you look around. Agree about DOW2 - just want a much my thing... not that it's a bad game... No comment on DOW3 😉
Yea I wasn't happy with the change to squad based in DoW 2 but it was OK, and I didn't even look at 3 once I heard where it went
You don't need the mass of mods recommended here. The first two campaigns in in Soulstorm is good, but otherwise playing vanilla is fine, especially for Dark Crusade and Soulstorm. You can zoom out the camera manually, and set 1920x1080 by modifying the text file. Backspace helpfully resets the camera. Frey seems to have his preference for low-detail games in the Total Annihilation vein.
Yep. Solid agree. I wouldn't go cramming the game with a tonne of mods. There were a lot I mentioned more as a directory of stuff that is possible to do. I'd still probably recommend the camera mod (personally) - but good point about DC and SS and their resolution either natively or via text file manipulation. Backspace is a good call - I use it frequently. Yeah, you've got my number on the viewpoint - Total annihilation is my jam baby! Planetary Annihilation too is a mainstay. Nice one.
Dawn of War 1 are the best RTSs ever. Dark Crusade is perfect, even if I miss the freedom of vanilla+WA. I like 2 alot but it's.. different, and 3 never happened. Ultimate Apocalypse & Unification filled the hole 3 left imo. DoW also ruined the Eldar for me forever. Purge them Impossible Creatures is a banger too, same game engine as DoW 1. I think Tellurian is essential for it
Man I need to go try impossible creatures... i think it might be in my library somewhere....? Totally agree with you re DOW1 and DOW2 ie Love DOW1, DOW2 is cool but just didn't hold me as much as 1. DOW3.... I've actually never played but I should at least try it so I can offer an educated opinion when it comes up ;-)
IC has an addicting loop of optimizing/tweaking your army, then playing skirmish matches to test out your changes. It was the game that got me into RTS games as a kid, just cuz the box looked cool. It doesn't play as tight as Dawn of War, but it's still overall very fun, and I think the core of Dawn of War can be felt
just finished replaying the soulstorm campaign yesterday haha, great timing
Nice one! Do you play that over the dark crusade campaign? I must look at getting the mods to improve soulstorms campaign to keep bases etc...
@@FreybeardPC nah i just felt nostalgic and ran through the vanilla version :) only added the mod to be able to zoom out
While Soulstorm and Dark Crusade where quite cool with being able to play any faction, I did miss the story driven aspects of the original DoW
Thank you for this. Lots of nostalgia for this and you've listed the optimisations.
Glad you liked it! There were so many optimisations and mods, but these were the ones that I thought were definitely worth mentioning.
for every video i see glossing DOW im donating money to that channel
I only play multiplayer on very slow.
Well you're doing better than me. Hardly every play PvP... I'm most playing compstomps with friends. Maybe I should get into 1v1 someday...
I’ll play with you :P It’s admittedly hard to find people that will play on very slow.
In WarHammer 40k there are quotes like "We have arrived, and it is now that we perform our charge. In the fealty of the God-Emperor and by the grace of the Golden Throne, I hereby sign the death warrant for this entire world and consign a million souls to oblivion. May the Imperial justice account in all balance. The Emperor protects." And then there are quotes like these “It’s amazing how much paperwork an act of heroism requires.” “If all else fails: duck. As a defensive stratagem it’s unreliable, but incredibly reassuring for a moment or two.”
Warhammer eh? Gotta love it.
You know exactly the banner I designed to troll my friends xd

@@baradmemarkermani2184 Thanks for checking it out!
@FreybeardPC I'm tiered of people hating this game because acolyte was bad , outlaws has many problems but it has good points too
@baradmemarkermani2184 yeah, I feel the same. It seems like it's frequently popular to say a game is utter trash if one single thing is not better than average. If i still like the game, the common reply is that "you just have low standards", or "you're a casual... what would you know?" We have lost the nuance of appreciating different aspects of games. It's tiresome.
Good video great game
@bruceboivin2278 Thanks legend!
02:00 I would say the Driller is the Crowd Control King, while the Engineer is more of an Area Denial Specialist with his proximity mines, lure grenades and his turrets + The platfform gun which can be cahnged to have bugs avoid them. But granted the line between Crowd Control and Area Denial are quite blurry. Great Review though! Rock and Stone!
Absolutely amazing review short and straight to the point keep it up my guy
@ghostnation22 Hey thanks a lot! This was one of my first reviews ... so it's a little rough around the edges. I might revisit it because I love this game 😉
I brought it on sale on steam, I agree with most of what you said. The voice actress is a beautiful young woman yet they made Jay plain Jane, what has Ubisoft got against beautiful women. Had no crashes yet, but have fallen through the map a couple of times.
@wahnjai1 bummer. I haven't fallen through the map yet! That always mad me go crazy when I happened in Helldivers2
How does a non-binary samurai kill people? They/Them (They slash them) 0:57 I would be lying if I wasn't hoping for the fox to have nine tails since Japanese mythology and stuff. 4:53 What the bird doing? (a variation of the meme 'what the dog doing?')
Actually a nine tailed fox would have been pretty cool!
Yeah it would have looked pretty interesting with white fur and blue tipped tail.
this is a great review!! i just wanted to comment and say that you’re the only person i’ve seen not have a terrible relationship with the pykes and thought that was funny
@meredithnotda Haha. Why does everyone hate the pykes? Hutts are slimey, ashiga seem a bit ... buggy... and crimson dawn are double crossing buttheads! Lol. Actually I just kinda liked their drip ill be honest... 😉
I think bought it at 35 percent off just recently. And i think it's alright, 7/10. Given the improvements it recently and the lower price. I think it has a nice visual style overall that is evocative of vintage Star Wars.
@BVargas78 totally agree with you. I can see why at launch people were unimpressed. Patches plus discount have made it much more viable

Why are you even playing the dog crap game? Why is this garbage showing up in my feed?
Well, I was playing it because I wanted to see for myself what it was like. I don't buy into the whole "masterpiece or utter garbage" philosophy that a lot of gamers seem to sling around now. And to answer your second question - you know that by commenting, it increases the liklihood of this kind of video showing up in your feed right? Kinda ironic. Lol
Great video bro, keep it up!
Thanks a lot! I'll certainly try to keep it up!
The empire strikes back is the worst star wars movie ever. Just kidding, I know next to nothing about stars wars except the time I played lego stars wars as a kid (stopped playing shortly after because it took the ways of EA of paying real money to even play the next level) and the lore video done by matpat (you will be missed).
@awkx6934 Ah man! I loved Lego star wars!! Might have to dig that out and play again. EA monetised a level did they? Damn that would have stunk!!
The microtransactions are entirely pointless and you can get all of it through playing the game
Really liked your review! Subscribed!
Hey! Thanks a lot!
Every time I hear works that sounds close to indi, I think of indianapolis (a WW2 US cruiser). 4:17 that must have been a pretty embarrassing way to fall unconscious.
I'm not really interested in playing this game, but I was interested in seeing what all the hype was about. You did a great job breaking this down and now I understand why people are liking it. Fantastic review!
Thanks a bunch Sausage! It doesn't really do anything new frankly, and to get the most enjoyment out of it i think you have to be a big indy fan. I had enough of a good time to warrant $120, but I can definitely see the case to wait for a sale. It's not a "must get" in my book.
Pretty fun game, bought it at, I think 70-75% off. The AI is kind of dumb though, one time the enemy commander just stood still while I used a single orbital fabricator to build an orbital weapons platform above it excruciatingly slowly. The commander just let the platform kill it. It could have walked out of range in a few seconds but it just stood for 2 minutes.
@aperson9973 Agree with you about the AI. It can be super dopey. If you want an AI upgrade you can get a community mod easily without even leaving the game menu. Find the community mod option in the menu and filter for "recommended". Can't remember the name of it, but there's an AI upgrade in there that makes them pack a little more punch. They still won't equal a human but it is a little better.
