CoH2 vs DoW3 players comparison

Jump back to quoted post14 May 2017, 17:27 PMHater

IMHO, not gonna happen, sadly. What I said elsewhere, in another words: you don't return to ex-girlfriend if your new girlfriend is worse. More efforts to make DoW3 attractive means even less attention to CoH2.

But such fail deserves a thread because it's funny by itself

So you guys are comparing a game that has had multiple sales over it's lifetime and has more content with a game that has less and determining that the game has failed?

average DoW3 players on day 1: 25 000

average Dow3 players after 3 weeks: 5 000

Or almost 1:1 transform the vCoH PE faction to CoH2 BabyRage

There are so many cool PE units that are oddly missing in CoH2 :'(

In your spoiler, you named about nine units and none of them is the Kettenkarnad

You can rewind that graph to see coh2 release stats. It started with less players at realease but it took 5 months to go down to 5k level, not 3 weeks. Then it went high up again becouse of new content and ballance changes. No studio can release new content every 2-4 weeks just to keep game alive - that's why this graph means dow3 is soon to be completely dead.

Company of heroes 2's campaign wasn't as good as Dawn of war 3's in terms of story or having characters. Plenty of people brought the game to see what the story was with the blood ravens after retribution. Going by your logic having a lackluster campaign would be better for relic because it would show better player retention ratios. Dawn of war 3 doesn't seem to have a payable commander system either to keep the meta "fresh".

actually, if you look at Starcraft 2, most people don't even touch the MP ladder and prefer play co op or custom maps. Dawn of war 3's biggest problem is that it has started with 1 game mode and nothing like the last stand system. Relic needs to get out more game modes faster.
having 5k people play the game largely for MP is pretty good for an RTS at this time.
