Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

The game overall isn't bad but it doesn't have the feel of the first one, It should be noted that LAN & multiplayer won't work by default. When SEGA bought the IP they killed that & because the original servers don't exist anymore you need to do multiplayer through GOG Galaxy. I see a bunch of people bashing GOG for this even though they have nothing to do with it. GOG only has a licence to reproduce the content- they can't add something that a previous owner removed because they don't own the IP. ANY dev, copyright lawyer, or person with a modicum of intelligence could tell you that. It's like your uncle dying & leaving you his house in the countryside & when you get there you start screaming at the urn full of his ashes because the electric company never built utility poles within 20 miles of his house so you can't get electric or internet & yelling @ someone that had no control over that is just lame. Other ppl are claiming that it's DRM! They are obviously too dense or to lazy to find out what that means. Do you need to run the original game's CD/DVD in the drive on your PC to play the game? NO? Then NOT DRM. Do you need to type in a CD/DVD licence key to install the game? NO? Also NOT DRM. Does the Game install Copy or Cheat protection Programs on your PC like Securom, Macrovision, or SafeLedge etc? NO? Definitely NOT DRM. If you're gonna send hatemail it should be either to THQ for selling it to SEGA or to SEGA for stripping the functionallity from it- NOT GOG. Also my personal favorite is Dawn of War: Dark Crusade. Soulstorm wasn't as good cause THQ killed the campaign risk map. the next is Total War: Warhammer 40K Total Warhammer 3.

What the f...?

This is not the DOW2 I played 10 years ago. Where is the tactical pause? I would not even have bought this, if tactical pause had not been present when DOW2 was first released. But okay, I paid for it again, I might as well try playing it again. 9 hours in the campaign, and today I get a "Sign in change has occured" message in the main menu. What? Why? The name on the top of the screen is my GoG username. What happened? Anyway, multiplayer options are suddenly greyed out. I don't care, I don't play multi. Okay, continue campaign. It loads. But... Why is my Commander called "TestName"? Ok, relax. Let's restart. I exit the game. I got my desktop back, but... Game stays on the taskbar, the mouse cursor still has DOW2's style, and I can't click on anything. Ctrl+Alt+Del works, I can start Task Manager and see the game's process is still there, but not responding. With some keyboard hocus-pocus I can kill it. Nice, mouse works again. I start the game again. I get the "Sign in change has occured" message again. What? Why? Oh, well, let's see a new campaign, because I don't want "TestName" to be saved into the ongoing one. Game crashes after 2 minutes into the first mission. So, I write this review and seriously thinking about refunding this piece of s... software.

Why is this on the store

The DRM here is egregious. GOG, you are going back on your mission statement and removing the main driving factor for me shopping here - DRM free games. If GOG keeps negging on their stated goals then it'll be no different to any other storefront so why not just buy from Steam?

This RTT is gold...

It shouldn't be a gold mine, though . To date, the regular price is indeed outrageous (on Steam ALSO). Just wait for the more reasonable discounted prices (which should be every couple of months). Please note that this is the Grand Master Collection (wich include the outrageously long list of tiny DLCs). I prefer the first DoW, but this one is remarkable in its own way (more tactical than strategic).
