Sounds like you guys want a Firefly game where you can play as the reavers.

Monster Hunter World Iceborne: It's like hunting monsters, but on crack, but the monsters are also on crack.

Graphics are good, game play is polished but I find it somewhat bland. Combat is controlled by one button. You smash with x, stun with Y execute with Z and repeat for 6 hours! Ill play it at some point but no longer a day 1 purchase.

40k has so many potential game ideas it's a shame GW ain't exploiting it more: Mechwarrior style Titan game, battlefleet gothic for ship fans, Inquisition rpg, IG shooter etc.

The meaning of life is BOOM!!!

Turn-based Necromunda tactical game. This could also go for Mordheim (which would be awesome, in fact, both would!)

Screw you all, and have a nice day!

I often wonder where Warhammer would be today if Blizzard had gotten the rights to use Gameshops universe.

Would Warhammer be more widely known and popular as a result?

It would have funny pandas and cartoonish new design overhaul.

And more boobs.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Penny Arcade made me chuckle at work with this one toda:

Quote

I have no idea if Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is any good. It’s impossible for me to tell. All I know, all I really know, is that I must buy and buy immediately. In The Grim Darkness Of The Future, there is only brand loyalty.

I wish that weren’t enough; I wish that I were stronger on every axis. That I could be strong for you, be useful! But no. All I want to do is grind right through an orc with a sword that is also a chainsaw. Relic couldn’t be better suited to it: they’ve been making this game for years and years, just from a different perspective, with the camera situated way up in the sky looking down on everybody. The meticulous, almost living animations that have defined the series drop with all their heft and confidence.

I SHALL OWN THIS GAME... in six months time or so when I can get it 50% off.

Just played the demo and I agree with the wait for it to be cheaper approach. I played most of the demo with BP and Chainsword. It just seemed like the bolter was an add on. I don't even know why they included it in the weapon options.

Oh well, I used to love playing all the different versions of Dynasty Warriors back in the day. Maybe Space Marine will grow on me once I get the full game.

I played the first level of the demo for about 45 minutes and I am incredibly glad I didn't pre-purchase it after those 45, nor do I have much of an incentive to fire the demo up again.

For pc, the basic controls absolutely suck. Right mouse click for chainsword? RIGHT CLICK? REALLY RELIC, WHY PUT THE GUN UNDER LEFT CLICK? The bolter does zero damage and indeed feels like an add-on, so why? Press F for stun, E for execute on the stunned guy? T for fury mode? Combo's to be executed by double right click? Where is the use of Q, Z, Shift, Alt or Ctrl?

Yeah, you should probably be able to re-map everything to a setting more to your liking, but meh, the first experience is marred.

Gameplay-wise, the chainsword animations are moving you ever forward, meaning you will without fail acquire a a monkey (OK, Ork) on your back from the first swing onward, adding more as you wade through the pack of enemies until you face open air and all the bogies are behind you or so spread out you can hunt them down only one at a time when you can hit up to three in a swing. Meh. I'll wait until the prize halves, or drops even further.

They have Space Marine at the local nerd-shop (boardgames, MTG, and banks upon banks of computers to play games on) and it looks very shiny.

But I haven't gotten to lay hands on it yet. The melee weapons look the most fun, since it's not just a spray-all-da-orks type scenario.
