Call me weird, but that rant-post actually made want to play the game even more. Sounds like it's irritating but also challenging. :-P

You tried to fight on 3 fronts at the same time which from my experience of twarhammer 1 is a bad idea.
mass force and crush each enemy faction one at a time.

Okay, the time has come...Steam sale, and Dawn of War is one sale.

Which ones do you recommend? I heard III is horrible, and you shouldnt pay more than $5 for it.

I have Age of Wonders 3 and it's pretty good, but for some reason just never kept my attention. I don't think I've ever finished a game.

I have both the other ones but havn't played them yet. Endless Legend in particular looks really good to me but I know nothing about it.

I have the first one and all the expansions and loved it. The second ones not to bad and I never tried the third one because it got ripped apart so much in reviews.

i think they're quite different games iirc

DoW1 is Company of Heroes + 40k.
Dow2 was more a squad strategy game.

I'm not an RTS kinda guy but I am - or at least was - a Warhammer Whore, so I bought DoW1 when it came out and surprised myself by quite enjoying it.  It's one of the old-school RTS clicky fests, wherein you must capture resource points so you can build up your base so you can build more units so you can capture more resource points and so on ad infinitum.

I bought DoW2 on the strength of 1, and was disappointed.  It's not a bad game, it just wasn't what I was expecting.  It's far more RPG than RTS, even though it still uses RTS gameplay.  From what I've seen, many people seem to prefer this style, but I didn't.

I never tried 3 because it looked terrible and the reviews panned it.

Really wish Command and Conquer was getting a proper game than a mobile clash of clans type game.  Honestly I was hoping the reboot the series and start with the Brotherhood's rise to prominence.

What do you think about it? I've been playing it on and off again for 4 years now, but the story is so thin, that I can't maintain my interest for long.

I find that with Bethesda games you need to role-play your own story.

Their worlds are beautiful, full with interesting places and characters. But at the same time their open nature and continuously level scaled encounters with auto-generated standard loot makes any quest feel rather flat. You can do a quest on level 5 or level 25 and basically nothing has changed, it's the same level of challenge. Which also makes you lose any sense of urgency. Fort X is about to be overrun? Damsel in 'imminent' distress? Gotta help some settlers get through dangerous territory?

Meh, maybe in a few weeks of game time, I'm busy crafting right now.

So I'm playing a mercenary Khajiit. He ran with the Imperial officer from the dragon because he thought that would give him the biggest chance for a pardon. Sure he wants to meet the Jarl and do a bit of stuff for rewards. Meet old mountain geezers to get some powers? Of course! But I'm not really feeling the urge to find their founder's axe/hammer/horn? (dunno really) I've got myself my own house and I'm looking for lucrative opportunities to enable me to furnish it.

I've actually already got a housekeeper for it..... I mean I gave this little orphan girl a place to live from the goodness of my heart!!

So I'm busy building my own story in the world and that helps to keep things fresh.

I have a new PC. With a decent enough video card that I could play WH:TW and the Witcher 3. Now just to find the time. Is there going to be a WH:TW3? Are Demons or Tomb Kings or Ogres or Chaos Dwarves in it yet?

I can't wait to see how they'll make the Daemon faction. Chaos Dwarves and Kislev would be cool to see as well.

i bought Halcyon 6
Domina
Broforce on the steam sale.

Broforce is fun and silly, but i've played it co-op with my brother for 3 about hours and feel I've about exhausted it for me personally.

Domina I didn't really enjoy, the combat itself is weird and too fast. I'd rather it just be a sim/management game.

Halcyon 6 the best of the 3 so far

Broforce is play for 1 session and discard. Draws on The Expendibles characters.

I might try it out. Broforce, I mean. So far I've finished Infinite Warfare's campaign and it was really, really cool. Gonna jump into multiplayer soon, see if I still have the online chops.

Anyone tried 40k Gladius or whatever it's called, the Civilisation 40k game?  It looks okay from what I've seen, but only four playable races is disappointing.

I've read a review that basically says "yeah, it's kind of fun - but in essence it's just civ with most of the options stripped out and only 4 factions". Doesn't sound too appealing to be honest.

On another note, I found out yesterday that Homeworld:Cataclysm is on GOG after all, they re-released it as Homeworld:Emergence. Didn't want to risk a scuffle with Blizzard over the name, but apart from that it's the real deal. That made me very happy, as it's always been my favourite Homeworld game, and word for many years was that the source code had been lost.

There was a nice discount for 'Hammer games a few days ago. Anyone knows if it's still running?

I've been playing the pre-expansion content that is being released every week for WOW before the x-pac BFA comes out.  I have been playing both Horde and Alliance to get both sides of the story.  I would pretty much sum it up in one way:
