[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 4465272, member: 65637"] Well, someone mentioned a dislike for "grim and dark" games, which could easily be why people don't like DH. But the thing is, DH really isn't meant to be taken seriously. I mean, have you read through the critical effects lists? It's rediculousness taken to the next level. DH follows the much older model of 40k, because Games Workshop forgot what made them successful was that [I]it was a joke[/I]. GRIM AND DARK wasn't supposed to take itself seriously, it's supposed to be [B]so[/B] over the top that it becomes laughable. Granted, it's not Paranoia levels of ultra-violent slapstick. but DH is about VERY carefully planning everything you do, and then when that evil xenos busts open your head, having a good laugh at how horrible it is. Or, in the words of Dwarf Fortress, losing is fun! ...Actually, I've been seeing a lot of cross over between fans of Dwarf Fortress and fans of DH. Hmmm... [/QUOTE]
