Keepalive: Dawn of War II Demo

written on Saturday, April 18, 2009



I fired it up. I shot some orks. I didn't enjoy it.

I'm just too much of an action gamer. Arranging my little guys in a perfect cover formation doesn't satisfy my itch at all. Because the second I have given the orders, I have nothing to do but watch. Once in a while I'd have to pull a unit back or distract an enemy to let another unit drop in a grenade. But that never fires my happy neurons. It never makes me feel smart.

But at the same time, I keep wondering if I'm playing it wrong. Maybe there's some way I could be making this go faster, and that would challenge me enough to make it fun. I'll keep trying for at least one more session.
