UNIVERSAL VIDEO GAME THREAD

It's awesome. End of.

I'm going to sleep now.  

[Vikki Stardust]

Thats it? Lazy bum.  

[Vikki Stardust]

Judging from Macs reaction to the demo I guess its awesome, end of.

Its a gore splattered mess. surprised  

[Asmondai]

Downloading demo meself,
might voice out opinion about it. :3

On xbox thought, steam´s download button doesn´t respond for some unknown reason. <.<  

[Hoxtalicious]

Demo is split into two sections:

1. Kill orks with bolter, chainsword, Vengeance launcher and Stalker pattern bolter.

2. Kill orks with a jump pack.

With that out of the way..

Holy s**t. Relic nailed it and nailed it good. Melee is a bloody mess, finishing moves are messily satisfying, the weapons are effective, your squad mates are useful, Titus handles like a Space Marine (as in, he's big, slow but when he hits, you're done for).

Now if there's one thing that bothers me its that the Orks don't really sound.. Orky. Other than that, sold. Give me the game already.

"With the bolter, cleanse the unclean,
We will cleanse!
With the flamer, purify the unholy.
We will purify!
With the chainsword, purge the corrupt.
We will purge!
With the missile, kill the impure.
We will kill!" -Anon. (3rd Edition Space Marine Codex)

I just hope it shall run on my laptop...

Okayh, had my 3rth run on the game and it is glorius..... 4laugh

The game is morely based on meleeing your way thru majority of the game,
but I have noticed that you can also range fight quite well,
as long you keep your distance and note where the orcs are moving.

The melee mechanic takes alittle getting used to.
Not that hitting and beathing the green snots out from the orcs is
any difficult, but it´s the Stunning and Executing which may take alittle use to.

Execution and combat animation is quite fluid and good to look at,
althou it may lead to some minor clithes like doing the headstomp
on an orc in mid-air. <.<"
Not the mention the surrounding is nicely done,
giving the look of what most of us would probably think about
when it comes to a imperial city.

Music and sound is good,
althou I do feel the orkyness missing from the game.
I expect them go all WAAAAAGH everytime they see you like they
do in DoW 2 games, but then again my ear-drums may go deaf. <.<"

The jump-pack is...... tricky.
It doesn´t last long in air so you need to be quick on your finger
to make the jump-stomp on the masses,
and even you have skill on that one, you´ll find your marine jumping
to a different spot or completly miss the ledge where you we´re suppose to go,
simple because the ledge itself comes in your jump-path and leads him
to somewhere else.

Other then that, the game is enjoyable and a good example of what to expect from the game itself.
I can´t wait to jump around with a thunder hammer. whee heart

Feels silly to consider giving a rating to this demo,
but if the game is like this, with adding the fact of multiplayers character
modification option and CO-OP mode being made for this game,
I have to say I am expecting a 8/10 rating for the game. 3nodding

So...grouping up as a guild to crush some greenie scum?  

[Hoxtalicious]

Team coop isn't available until a month after general release of the game. But sure, I'll have some gold ready by then.  

[Jason Kharo]

I give myself permission to advertise this. ninja

Vigila Mortis

It is a Deathwatch inspired clan which has now around 100 members, all very keen warhammer 40k players, all of them know a fair bit about fluff, games and such, and a lovely bunch of guys to talk to.
They also have a Mumble server, so I can hear you guys!  

[Asmondai]

Sounds cool. surprised
I´ll maybe get it on pc thought,
for once my pc can handle the awesomeness of a game. biggrin  

[Caleidah]

Yeah. Not sure if I'm going PC or consoling up for this one, but...it could easily go either way. All depends if Relic designed for PC and ported to console or vice versa.  

[Jason Kharo]

Well I can assure you that the PC version is perfectly done. It has so many different video options, audio and screen resolutions, not to mention fully bindable keys.
