how can such a cool franchise with such popularity and notoriety get practically no good video games?

midget!!!!

because GW hands out their licence to trash companies most of the time.
Blake Ortiz
is this game any good? serious answers only pls
Elijah Walker
I wish there was a PC version of the tabletop game.
Imagine a game sort of like Bloodbowl.
I'm amazed its not a thing yet, they could make it a free to play game and have boosterpacks that you open for units kinda like a CCG does, either get them in a pack or graft them with dust.
It would be a great opportunity to make money and also provide those who want to play the tabletop but dont want to paint and pay for overpriced miniatures and learn the way too complicated ruleset.

Brody Price
dawn of war and DOW2 play almost like a real time version of the tabletop, particularly DOW2. its uncanny how faithful it feels to tabletop if you've ever played it. but these games are well over a decade old, and in that time they've run the franchise into the ground
Dylan Ortiz
its ok
Wyatt Richardson
The lore can actually be quite restrictive despite how huge it is.
Mason Barnes
maybe we can get a 40k end times and jews workshop can move on to something else then we can finally get good 40k games. can you even imagine a vermintide 2 but 40k?
Jayden Cook
nevermind the lore: you have super powered space marines battling insanely lethal aliens in the far future. you have everything you need to create an awesome game the lore is just icing on the cake
Camden Reyes
those are RTS though im talking really true to the source, turnbased strategy
William Parker
gee dubs doesn't want 40k to have good games
Adam Mitchell
gladius might be the closest you're gonna get, but nothing like that exists as far as I know
Thomas James
A Total War 40k or a proper DoW that's just a professional Ultimate Apocalypse would make tabletop obsolete for all but the most utter diehard grognards due to sunken cost. They know this and thus they don't actually let good games be made.
Juan Edwards
Ultimate Apocalypse is a piece of shit. Glad the project died.
Titanium Wars or Vanilla until I die.
Juan Collins
Nids instead of rats

>Still no Battlefied : Warhammer 40K
Only reason I'm still alive, just imagine this shit but with Guardsmen and lasers and demons and shit

I know BF games are garbage now a days but they are still spot on when it comes to presentation.
Samuel Stewart
SPACE MARINE 2. NOW!
Zachary Morris
Because gamedevs are imperiumfags instead of ChaosChads.
James Morgan
>40k Vermintide
This is Deathwing: space hulk.
Chase Torres
and its fucking awful
Christopher Collins
Turn based gaming is dead
Ayden White
yes, like vermintide
Thomas King
yeah, they tried that. It was fucking garbage.
Ethan Thompson
I like Vermintide
Jack James
It's pretty well known that the Warhammer franchise is owned by lawyers with no taste
Wyatt Baker
How would you balance it to be a meaningful game?
You'd be forced into doing like, tau vs guard, guard vs guard, chaos guard vs guard. Everything else would just be bullshit for anyone playing as guard.
Ryan Rodriguez
Because two things are true when developing a licensed game
1. You have to give a significant amount of your money to the license holder.
2. You don't own anything you come up with.
So not only do they have to give up a huge chunk of their profit to GW, they can't even capitalize on a successful IP if they make a hit.
So anyone with the resources or talent to make a good game will make their own stuff rather than taking the huge economic hit from working with GW.
Sebastian Butler
Its Games Workshop stupid restrictive license
William Baker
Hero classes just like in Battlefront
Guardsmen vs Cultists , good player gets to be a Space Marine or CSM, then all sorts of classes, it's easy to go wild with the material
Kevin Lewis
Imperial Fists suck
Jeremiah Martinez
because you are a scrub that doesnt like strategy games
there is a shit ton of good 40k games
Jace Wilson
GW is afraid of games competing with 40k tabletop, it's pretty clear when you see the quality and quantity of warhammer fantasy games being made, they must be making it impossible to get anything done with the 40k ip
Brody Roberts
IN THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT.
THE SONS OF DORN SHINE BRIGHT
Benjamin Miller
Apologies to lord adorable
Colton Ross
Mechanicus was great
StarCraft Broodwar should count
William Thompson
Because its sucks and is ruined to the ground by greedy corporation that runs it.
Christian Gomez
Yes, Imperials Fists are able to suck, bite, spit and swallow just like any other human.
Hudson Rivera
I'm playing dawn of war, I like necrons
I heard they are getting new minis and shit, what do actual TT players think?
Luke Morgan
You are severely delusional if you dont think this isnt niche as fuck and made on a shoe string budget
Blake Jenkins
being niche doesnt make something bad
40k itself is or atleast was niche as fuck
Sebastian Lopez
The game failed because tyranids are boring as fuck enemies. The tyranid hype from the 2000s is gone. We need Marines vs. Orks.
Grayson Evans
vermintide was awesome you shit sampling faggot
Logan White
guess that explains why this feels so 40k then. it feels in every single way like a 40k game
Ayden Carter
Wrong, retard. It failed because the movement and combat felt like dogshit.
Christopher Adams
that would be shit, just like battlefront 2. nobody wants uneven playing fields
Anthony Phillips
that looks like dogshit.
Bentley Walker
Yeah exactly, a group of talented and driven devs were able to make the perfect 40k gameplay experience but they had no reason to give a huge chunk of their revenue to GW because the game was quality enough to sell on its own.
Noah Allen
if you dont like strategy games why are you in a tabletop wargame franchise thread?
Camden Rivera
A bunch of 40K games have been removed from Steam lately.
I think Games Workshop is abandoning their previous licensing politic in favor of a more restrictive one. Not a bad idea since giving their ip to anyone who asked only resulted in trash.
