I played the demo and it seems really repetitive. I might buy it when it gets cheaper.

QFT.

Melee combat seems way to powerful, I think balance will be an issue.

Its hard to say though when you haven't seen all the guns.

However, I think there's a thread on this already?

I was wary about this game when I saw Chaos Marines leaping about like gymnasts before exploding into pink dust after they were killed, then by a zoom-able ‘Sniper’ Lascannon and a ‘Shotgun’ Melatgun. Then I played the demo and noticed that at no point did I ‘squee’ like a good little fanboy. It was mediocre – not bad, but not especially inspiring or original. The Orks don’t sound like Orks, combat is repetitive, all the environments are the same damned colour, Mark Strong sounds asleep while reading his lines and combat is repetitive.

I know I said that last one twice, but that’s the point.

I’ll borrow it from a friend. I’m very glad they put out a demo for this so I didn’t waste time on a pre-order. Now I can pre-order Arkham City instead.

Probably will pick it up, but I will likely wait until the PC version drops to around $30.

I am not likely to pick it up. Its not that it doesn't look that good or anything like that, I just have no need for another shooter nor do I have the funds to pick it up if I was interested in the title.

i may get space marine, but it comes out on the same day as heroes of might and magic 6, so space marine may have to wait a few weeks after its release before i get it

I've already preordered just the PC-DVD apparently. None of the fancy bits, I only had $50.

ok you guys it the first fps game for it don't expect it to be the best game ever there's a little thing called trail and error there is undoubtedly going to be another with such a high demand they just need to find out what they need to fix and or improve on GW and THQ and Relic will learn and adapt to the need to today's gamer and I will always be there to support them so haters keep hating

I agree I played the demo and it is a little repetitive but they will probably improve it

I... you... how...

N...no. That's the demo. That's the game.

As for m, I'll probably pick it up. Used. Somewhere. My eyes are on Deus Ex at the moment.

first 40k shooter was Fire Warrior I think.

Game doesn't look great. probably going to be a rental if anything at all.

I voted no. Not because it "doesn't look that good" but because I'm not a shooter game fan.

I'll be getting it, I usually play stuff like SC2 that requires you to be mentally on for the entire game, and the relatively simple xenos-slaughtering with bolter and chainsword is appealing for sitting back and not having to think too hard.

I preordered the PC version to get the Black Templar skins.

Can't wait to play it.

It looks good enough and is from a respected developer so I want to support the idea of 40k on consoles (especially in a third-person-shooter flavor). Frankly, the in-game animations on that game look better than the entirety of the Ultramarine movie.

I pre-ordered it on Steam.

That being said, I'd rather play Space Ork.

I should be getting this bad boy for free! GW is giving my friend a free copy because the comic book store he works for sells GW products. I am assuming that makes him a retailer. He doesn't want the game so im getting it! If he actually is getting it for free or he was misinformed. If not I can always steal it.....jk jk

.............HERETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLASPHEMY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by the throne of Terra have you gone mad ill be damned before i ever "rent" A game such as this its not going to be like a kill team based shooter!!!!!!!! AND A GREY KNIGHT ABOVE ALL ELSE!!!!!!

well i guess this game shows who really gives a flying **** about GW..............I bet you play StarCraft little traitor!

I see you're 12 years old.

Also, "trial and error" is a little thing called "the past 30 years of video gaming." They should learn from their predecessors. If the game sucks, they don't get a pass. I don't think the game will suck, but I don't expect it to be Earth-shatteringly brilliant either.


And your ridiculous brand loyalty to GW is adorable.

I preordered it first day and am really excited. i will say that its nothing magnificent, but its a game which is satisfying as all hell to play. melee felt like fable, shooting reminded me of gears of war, the graphics were good, the voice acting wasn't bad and most importantly it reminded me of why i love 40k again.
That being said i didn't get the collectors edition, the cards and purity seal aren't cutting it for the extra cash...

I am most certainly going to get it.

But I will not buy the collector's edition, nor will I pay new game prices for it. I'm going to grouse and gripe and complain for days when I pay thirty bucks for it. Anything more than that is a crime. I am shocked that anyone has the audacity to charge that much for a video game.

I recognize that the industry has come a long long way from the tarnished days of my yoof, when a new video game ran me twenty dollars. I also recognize that there is no going back to that. I recognize that the industry is going to charge what people will pay, and as the OP demonstrates, people are willing to pay for this. A lot of money, apparently.

Finally, I recognize that there is only room in my heart (and wallet) for one video game franchise that I will pay new game prices for. And Assassin's Creed already has that spot.

I concur. They want to do trial and error, release free betas. For my $60 I expect a game as polished and well developed as any modern FPS.

From the demo, I'm pretty sure this will be the case.

I am a big dynasty warriors fan, so the repetitiveness doesn't bother me.

You know what is making me get the game? The fact that there IS NO COVER SYSTEM or REGENERATING HEALTH. Also speese marhineez.

I have it pre-ordered for the PC.

Calm down, ork boy, with all that screaming the zerglings will find you. By the way, Blizzard demonstrates how you make a compelling game that lasts, you could do a lot worse than learn from their game design. If Space Marine had the polish that SC2 does, I'd have preordered collector's in a heartbeat.

Does downloading it from a torrent site count as "getting"?

If so, yes. Yes I am.

Aerethan wrote:Does downloading it from a torrent site count as "getting"?

No, but it counts as probably something you shouldn't be saying publicly.

Let them come after me for their $60. I'm about $3600 in debt which is all in collections, I own a beat up 98 VW and that's it. I have nothing to lose. And no one goes to prison for IP infringement.

Considering how many people torrent stuff and don't get caught it'd probably not happen, but I just thought I'd point out that they won't come after you for $60. They'll come after you for $100,000 and they will take everything you own to get it. And if what you own isn't enough, they'll take a portion of whatever money you make until it is. I mean, does anyone remember when those college kids got busted for music piracy? The were charged a fine of 100 grand per song. Of course, the cases were settled for significantly less than that, but don't think it's just 60 bucks they'll come at you for.


Theoretically, there is criminal copyright infringement which is a $200,000 fine and up to five years in prison but I don't really know what you'd have to do to get that. I assume you'd have to not just torrent something, but sell copies of it.
