Waaagh

Last day off of the week for me and I was supposed to hang out with someone but they were sick. Was supposed to hang out with someone else but they were MIA. Sooo I ended up catching up on sleep which I slept way too much and felt like shit for the rest of the day lol. On a good note my Dawn of War II: Retribution Collectors Edition came today finally. Two days late mind you and I paid for overnight too. But alas it came and it isn't the most impressive CE I've seen but its pretty nice.


I would've taken some pictures myself but the only camera I have is on my phone and its laughable at best.

Anyways after I wasted the day sleeping I decided to waste the rest of it playing through the Ork campaign of the game. (I have 2 friends picking it up who love Space Marines and Chaos so I saved those campaigns for co-op) And I was surprised at the quality of the campaign. The levels while much much smaller in number (about 12 per race) are A LOT larger and at least have more purpose than simply "kill everything to the other side of map and kill a boss". I began playing the game around 5 pm and I must have beaten the Ork campaign at around 3 am lol (taking breaks, dinner and crap into consideration). So I'd say about 8 hours per campaign and 6 campaigns aren't too shabby at all. Unfortunately I've heard that all the races basically have very similar missions just different story. Which is disappointing but I haven't been able to look into that myself yet. All in all Its hard to say if I enjoyed this campaign more than the first games. I will say that I enjoyed the story much more and while Orks aren't my favorite race I enjoyed playing them which impresses me. I would say if you are a fan of Warhammer 40K or enjoyed at least the first game to look into this.

  2. You should complain and try to get a refund on your shipping cost assuming there weren't any natural disasters or government holidays involved.

  4. Not delivering in time is inexcusable but if it was me then I still would've done nothing.

    The game sounds interesting, too bad I don't have a PC that can run it.

  7. I've never even played part 1 of this series. I dunno how good or bad of a thing that is. I'm so out of touch with certain things. I've never played WH40k either.
