This has to be one of the best VR games I've played. Can be a tad bit autonomous but for a VR experience RTS this is hands down awesome. The immersion into the world is fantastic. This is deff a bit of a spin on RTS that you don't control the infantry, but guiding your units, attack runs with aircraft.. it's awesome. This game gives me hope for RTS in VR for what could be accomplished with 40k, COH, Naval RTS games.. etc. Very awesome!

While the game is pretty, i feel like its a game of who can amass a larger army and over run your enemy. I feel there is no flanking, no actual strategy., cover system is garbage. The animations are meh... No kill syncs, a good example of meh....the IG shooting animations looks aweful... I think this game was rushed. Dont let the hours in game fool you, i also took part in the closed testing.

This is not a good successor of dow1 or 2....

Extra 10 bucks for only 3 armies too....

There are some cool ideas put in like the orks picking up scraps to upgrade weapons or armor.

The idea of large armies is nice, but more can be done to make thise more unique that something akin to starcraft.

While I enjoy playing this games for hours on end, it has various bugs and flaws. Graphic wise. 8/10. They are pretty good, there most definately room for improvement, but I imagine that would not be possible with out the change to a new game engine. Which also, I must say, if there is, and I anticipate a 3rd installment so we can finally have some multiplayer( a major factor missing from this game ) that the game engine HAS to change. Something has to be done to combat this performance issue. Thats my biggest gripe with this game. Why I'd only give this a 7/10. The FPS drops are enourmous. I'm getting 1-5 in a built up city, 10-13 a tad bit zoomed out, and 15-20 all the way zoomed out. The game is not utilizing resources. I am very displeased with the fact that it was said from the dev team.

from the FAQ

"Q: Is the game optimized for late game performance?
A: Yes! Several new algorithms optimize the amount of necessary calculations and reduce processing time. Also, multicore support helps to ensure fluent gameplay even when scenes get big."

I'm only in 1916 and it's just not enjoyable to play anymore. Watching the locomotive mounted camera or person camera, the FPS is absolutley terrible. I want to keep going, but I just cant. I make mistakes, because of the frame rates, and there is no undo buttom.

My specs..

I7-5820K Hexacore pushing 4.4 GHZ
16 Gigs DDR 4 Ram
AMD R9 390X 8Gig Gracphics card
Windows 10 64bit
This is more than enough power to plow though this game. The game only uses 9% of my cpu.

Things like DX12 or Vulkan need to be utilized.

The Industries, make sense, but dont. I have every city connected and they still stop producing. The output area is full, and hardly reduces it's self to load up on the station that is right next to it. Makes no sense.

I'm keeping my thoughts to still be recommended, but If I could have a button that puts me in the middle, I would mark it in the middle. I look forward to seeing the patches fix things. If I do not see a performance update when the Major performance patch hits us, I will turn around to not recommend this game. Though It may be promising as TF was bad too, but did get better through patching. TPF started worse of than TF did when it released.

Game 3- I do not want something lke TF or TPF. If you made decent money as it sounds from the news updates, than build a new engine, but better. Please utilize modern software and hardware!

Having watched this game from when it was announced... I loved almost every second of it! It's my imagination come true. While just finishing the campaign... I demand when all fleets come into the game that a new campaign for the 13th black crusade come in! Are there bugs still in the game? Yes. Is there imbalance still showing.. yes. Could alot be improved on, yes. Though I'm huge into 40K and BFG This game does have a solid campaign, and I do enjoy the skirmish playing. Multiplayer has a bit missing especially in terms of the match maker. It does it a good fix.

I do hope to see a sequel with massive improvement at some point.. I really do!

My other thought... when all fleets come out.. if you don't intend on putting more ships in.. as there are plenty.. I hope to see mod tools be released so the fans can complete the fleets and add their own custom 40k ship in. I look forward to more Tinderlos!
