Are there any genuinely good Warhammer 40k games? I tried playing Dawn of War III at it was terrible and everything I can find is a mobile port. Is it just 40kfags meming like they insert everywhere?

It doesn't play anything like Gears. I played shit tons of co-op in Space Marine and most of that was spent charging head on into crowds of orks using melee. I'd hesitate to even describe Space Marine solely as a shooter, since the best and most fun way to play by far is by rolling & dashing everywhere while alternating between melee and shooting. That's all besides the fact that the only way to gain health back is by stunning enemies (usually with melee) and then getting up close to them to do a execution move.
I mean, shit, Space Marine's pre-release marketing even made fun of cover shooters that were all over the place at the time. Pic related.

DoW1 is a great game. DoW2 is a marked departure from it, and I couldn't really acclimate myself to its vibe after the awesome original. By all accounts DoW3 is a dumpster fire, so oddly this much beloved series only has one actual good game. Well, not counting spinoffs and what not, just the DoW series proper.

It's actually a mix of Gears of War and God of War. You could play the game like a stop and pop cover shooter if you are a faggot, but you get full health everytime you perform an execution attack, and executions flow well into normal attacks (they aren't overbearing like say the chain saw bayonet animation in Gears of War), so it's better to try and pick off enemies from afar until you inevitably get overwhelmed and then turn into a hulking death ballerina. Honestly, it felt almost like a TPS Halo to me with cool melee combat and jump jets. Not the best game ever, but fun and worth a playthrough.

GW is retarded and thinks that anything without, at minimum, the Imperium but preferably Space Marines as the main protags will be unrelatable and as a result unpopular and hurt their brand. It's fucking idiotic, but this is the same company that had to rewrite fundamental lore just to sell a line of SM minis with modern detailed casting instead of the old "Hero scale" casting. They are also responsible for letting Matt Ward anywhere near a pen.

Suits, anon. I've seen so many IP's get utterly destroyed by their parent company making retarded decisions. GW doesn't know what is the appeal of their product, it doesn't give a shit about the lore, it doesn't give a shit about the fans, it only gives a shit about what (((market research))) tells it, as well as whatever abortion of an idea gets born in their heads. It's why they were so stingy with lending the IP to vidya – they thought it would negatively impact sales of minis. A few years ago they then realised they were being retarded… and instead started whoring the IP out to ANYBODY, even literal nobodies. Of course, in an effort to make the whole thing more "accessible", they decided they needed to (((improve))) the lore. So you got the Tau, then you got faggier and faggier authors do the books, so now half of them contain stronk womyn, and after what they did to Warhammer Fantasy, I figure the next "update" to the lore will cause butthurt big enough to spawn a new chaos god.

But thats wrong, because they dont do market research either.
They are slowly improving though, seeing how they are going back to specialist games and are releasing a boxed set taht does not feature any of the usual factions (skitarii and necrons fighting on mars).

GW loans out the IP to anyone but the people who do good work with the IP get a better budget and more narrative flexibility with their next game. It's the perfect fucking system and has turned out some really fucking good games. Fatshark went from a small unknown developer to having one of the biggest games of the year in just under two games. The better you do the more ambitious you're allowed to be with the IP. I wish more companies would do that with their shit. Licasfilm did a similar thing with Star Wars and the shit games vastly out number the truly excellent ones but we also got a lot of middling decent games too. I feel warhammer's stuff has about the same turnaround. It's a good system.

Chaos gate starts off kinda difficult, but really fucks you in the ass down the line if you screw up at all in the early missions. Good times.
