Give me something NEW!!
This game was amazing when it first came out. Absolutely fantastic I loved it played it non-stop. The first expansion came out and I played that obsesivly with my friends then Dark Crusade came out and I loved playing as the necrons because it was so much fun to charge across the map with robots from hell.
Then soulstorm came out and I got it mostly out of dedication. The game is fun same formula but there are to many other RTS games out there that are so much better first one that comes to mind is company of heroes.
The new units are interesting but dont add to much if you ask me. They did a great job on making all of the races different although in the end they are just the same formula. Build a barraks build upgrade buildings build a motor pool build more research building build special unit barrack build more reasearch make god unit kill everything in path. The only race that really went out of the box was the necrons especially with making their own main base their superweapon although in the end it boils down to the same.
I understand this is an expansion pack but for how long this game has been out and how many different expansions I would love to see a new game. Not just the same stuff regergitated with different names and new looking buildings.
In the end this game is the same as the last few add two new races a few new vehicles. Which in my opinion dont add anything at all just some glisten for people to drool over before the game releases.
Graphics are an entire gripe completely. They look muddy uninteresting and the same thing I looked at when it first came out. Back then it looked great but now it looks uninteresting and boring. Also cmon lets get a good cutscene when your about to assault a stronghold not just a cruddy machinima that if I tried me and my friends could make.
This next gripe is mostly just because I have been playing this universe to long but the over use of sadoism is sort of annoying after a while especially with the new race where they took it just a step to far with the dark eldar and their slave pits. I do not remember the name but one of the upgrades surrounds it with these really crappy looking bodies that look like the peasants from warcraft 3. The chaos did the sadoism good the dark eldar take it to a level that is just dumb.
Overall this game is good its the same formula if you like the old games this game is great but if you want something good with good graphics and a good story and just something better go for some of the RTS out there like COH or World in conflict.
Peace
