Back in my youth, and I'm still quite young, I used to play the crap out of this game, like seriously! I was a youngling who didn't even know the basics of the game, in fact I didn't even know this game belonged to the trading genre. All I knew was Spanish ships had the greatest firepower of all factions, and I made fleets upon fleets of their most powerful inventions, until at long last, God told me to lose this game at a flood. It's good to see it here, and this time, I'll play it as it is meant to be! A shame there are no female-pirates options. I'm a fan of games that let me choose, at the very least, whether I have a beard or not.
The moment I saw the first game's cinematic, I knew it was going to go crazy at some point. Knowing there were bigger things at stake wasn't a complete surprise, I knew what I was going for when I first played this game. And let me tell you this: Aaaaaaaaahhh~<3 That's what I think of this game. Whether you believe these critics or not, it's up to you. Like I always say: Don't listen to anyone and just enjoy the moment!
"It's a dragon with a jet pack on its back. What more could you want?!" "A more polished game!" says the crowd. *Coughs*
God knows why the OST isn't included with the game already, just like the rest of the games. However, these songs prove me once again that soundtracks are the true masterpieces behind the games. Without it, the game turns into nothing but pixels.
It has its moments, and it's definitely not a masterpiece. That being said. This game freaking rules! It's a god damn shame I don't have any means to buy it.
The system requirements of this game aren't outrageous at all, as it says in the description. According to the website VideoGamer, this are the minimum system requirements for this game. Processor: 266 MHz RAM: 64 MB Video Memory: 2 MB DirectX Version: 8.0
I'm not saying is Dawn of War before Dawn of War, but it kept me well entertained until its release.
I know this has nothing to do with the game, but it keeps bugging me no matter how much I try to forget about it. Recently I got an remotely old computer (for experiment), old enough to call is a piece of junk and tried a few games to see the limits of that old champ. Neverwinter Nights was sadly one of the many games that ran at a poor FPS, you could tell by the lag of the main menu. Then I tried "Warhammer 40,000 - Dawn of War", expansions included, and it ran just fine at a low-medium quality. Does that make any sense? Dawn of War not only looks better but it should demand more from the PC than Neverwinter Nights. Or maybe there's something wrong with the GoG version?
I'm not that old, but I played this game for quite some time and I remember humming the Galactic Empire theme while I crushed the Naboo and "Rogue" Troopers. Now it's here, in GoG, and there's no way for me to pay for this. God is cruel.
Let's face it, to this day, even if its an old game we want it to look... decent enough. That's why many don't like it. Also, it's too immersive and that's what bothers people who would rather kill stuff almost immediately after a short tutorial. And another "let's face it"... these kinds of games are demanding. They need you to read, to think, to make decisions that can "turn you off" because of how serious they are. In short, people these days like it with a long, well-made story and a thick combat system that gives them the freedom they want to feel. I'm no exception, but I loved this game more than most. I just hope I could play it again.
