Here's what happened:

-THQ owns Relic

-THQ desperately makes Relic create a TPS due to their own financial troubles

-It doesn't do too good

-Fire tons of Relic personeel and then folds mid way into CoH2

-Sega picks them up

-Most of the original staff is gone at this point

-After releasing CoH2 which did alright but pissed off ruskies due to shitying all over commies they hire new people

-They're all millenial Starcraft players, SJWs prone to be low risk and they also can't handle criticism

-Think they can attract both Starcraft and ASSFAGGOTS at the same time while thinking the original/core fanbase will buy the game out of brand loyalty alone

-Outside the initial buzz the core fanbase stays quiet and mostly hates it, the game fails to attract casual players or ASSFAGGOTS players because those would rather stick to ASSFAGGOTS

-The only multiplayer mode is fucking ASSFAGGOTS

-Pre release and after release they barely listen to fan input and just do whatever

-Literally everyone stops playing and leaves

-They couldn't even get a moderate hit and their DLC plans which were leaked crashed in the Baine

TL;DR

Relic has been dead since 2011 and DoW3 was a desperate Starcraft clone by talentless pretensious hacks.

The story will continue when AoE4 releases, thankfully I'm not expecting ASSFAGGOTS anymore since that trend is even less relevant after 3 years.

Also funny how one year earlier before DoW The Third another Sega owned studio created a Strategy game based on Warhammer Fantasy and did good shit with it despite monetization kikery.

>It was worse than CoH1

And stil is, even worse than it was at launch thanks to all the DLC and microtransactions, it's F2P tier.

I was talking about the number of sales and overall number of players/fanbase..

Thanks to all the paid shit though the communuty is nearly fucking dead though.

>>16535455

It's amazing how fucking long the shockwaves of THQ dying have lasted, that shit ruined several series i liked. I disagree about the core fanbase staying quiet though, there were a shit ton of people telling Relic the game is fucked and going to bomb.

>>16535415

The only good Relic games were the first Dawn of War and its expansions. Company of Wehraboos and Dawn of War 2 were both horrible mistakes.

>>16535490

They were quiet about recommending the game to other people either through the internet or word of mouth.

>>16535523

>Homeworld 1/2

>Impossible Creatures

>CoH1

>DoW2

<Bad

Nah, trying a little too hard there

DoW was dissapointimg but it's a good game, shit sequel though.

I still remember laughing my ass off when they advertised the game at E3 as having "no longer than 15 minutes online matches" like that's a selling point.

Duke Nukem Forever

Better than a documentary would be a time-lapse of the 3DR offices so I could see just how much time was spent on development and how much on getting drunk.

>>16535552

There actually were leaked stories about how the offices would go for months without anyone showing up because they knew there was nothing to do. No actual proof to back it up though.

>>16535523

>Company of Wehraboos

I bet you have forums accounts so you can cry there as well, pretty sad.

>>16535530

>>16535560

>Company of Shitroes IDF

Every time without fail. DoW 3 was on the tratjectory both that heap of trash and DoW 2 built. You have nobody but yourselves to blame for the end result.

>>16535415

>Creative Assembly managed to make top dollar with Total Warhammer even though they're equally as jewish as GeeDubs by doing their own thing with Warhammer Fantasy and catering to the fanbase

>Relic decides to chase the fucking Shitcraft 2 and ASSFAGGOTS audience almost a fucking decade too late by making an abomination of a game

Fuck this shit

>>16535572

They even got inControl to do balancing, and ripped off the shitty SC2 art style.

>>16535566

The problem is you're forgetting that gearbox still saw DNF and put it out in the state it was in.

>>16535584

Which I'm actually fine with. The world should see the abomination that Broussard created. The only person that even comes close to rivaling his incompetence are Chris Roberts and, ironically, Randy Pitchford.

>>16535598

I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone else who would want that rather than a redesigned game that was delayed another year and played a lot better.

>>16535607

Another year? Did you see the game? The engine was trash, all the assets were garbage, the level design was unsalvageable. Even with a good team, which Gearbox certainly wasn't and isn't. You're looking at 3 years as virtually everything would need scraped.

I just hate anything that takes away credit from Broussard. He had THREE different release candidates, and he fucked them all up. The horror stories that came out of DNFs development are absolutely incredible. People hired who were assigned to not even a level, but a PART of a level and having to redesign it over and over and over again for years all because that incompetent fuck played a new game and wanted to steal something from it. There was even a fucking snowmobile level at one point because he played CoD2 and wanted it in.

>>16535570

Company of Heroes is great, and still looks good to this day.

Back to Starcraft 2 you go gookclicking macro shitter

>>16535566

>I will fight anyone that says DNF was their fault.

It was their fault though even if not entirely, instead of cancelling they got the IP, used the brand and outsourced a shitty unfinished mess to some nobodies so they could use the money from the guaranteed sales towards funding Memelands 2.

It's also still their fault why Duke is a pozzed faggot and the fact that he's yet to get another game.

Aliens Colonial Marines and Battleborn was also mostly all on them

Worst thing is that Memelands 3 will probably do well despite all the PR hits they've taken due to Destiny popularizing loot and shooter garbage even further.
