Yea, I want him to try and derp roll out of the way of a heavy bolter dev.

To be fair, I have found that alot of my Gears of War skills are transfering into this game (Namely rolling and Meltagunning around corners).

Also, I was able to move up on a player, as a Tactical Marine while he was a Devastator, simply by strafing left and right while moving forward.

YMMV.

I still crushed you with my Devastator Marine. And my Tac Marine. And my Assault Marine.

I just crushed you.

"Hey Slarg, lets play a game you've never played before one on one, to get you used to the controls!"

"Yeah Chowder, that's a good idea, thanks."

*Chowder rolls up with his Level 19 Perked, Pimped characters against someone who just got the game and had only a lowly bolter*

Hey! I was level 16!

And I was level 1. And you took advantage of me.

You monster.

90 percent of rape victims know their rapist.

Beat campaign on Hard. Easy, but challenging enough in some sections to actually be enjoyable once I figured out how to beat a fight.

MP is fun as hell and I will continue to play it. So many strategies!

9/10

Would have been cooler with more content, that's it.

Haha, zombie games.

Back to multiplayer in a bit.

The zombies just want some love... and brains.

There's a genre with such a deficit of titles to choose from.

I plan on getting dead island tomorrow. I already got me some sphess mareeeen im on part 5/5 the game glitched on me and wouldnt let me go further :( I was sad

Space Marine...tried the demo...meh, I'll pass.

Seriously, if you haven't played MP and unlocked ALL of what it has to offer, you can't say the game wasn't worth it, or that it needs more content. You haven't even done everything there is to do.

To be fair, your post saying his post didn't add anything wasn't really adding anything either, just restating stuff that doesn't exactly need to be restated.

And before we start a line of "This doesn't add anything....", I acknowledge that my post isn't adding anything either.

From reading this thread I get the impression that it's another game that has a lousy singleplayer and it's only value is by adding other players to the mix in multiplayer.

Does the game have a better (more competitive, balanced, or participants) multiplayer experience than other FPS-like games? Basically, is there any reason to prefer Space Marine over (for example) Halo?

The game has an excellent single player. It just feels like it was a bit too short in areas where you used non-standard fighting methods.

When I saw the first previews of Dead Rising I let out a big yawn. And seeing what a shitstorm the launch was, I'm pretty happy I stayed away from it.

It is different than halo, since it has classes and several different weapons than massive DMR usage, its nice to be able to use a different gun

I still love Halo, but I like 40k more, and I think the multiplayer is pretty excellent, hit level 25 last night.

Indeed, aside from the rate of fire of the lascannon, for the most part the game is fairly balanced.

I love the tactical with stalker bolter, regular bolter with kraken rounds, and frag grenades; for my tactical loadout.

For assault I'm using true grit, death from above, chainsword/powersword and frag grenades, with the aformentioned bolter instead of bolt pistol.

Dev its all plasma all the way

I love the weapon variety, considering 85% of my kills in Reach are with the DMR.

The complaint of "too short" seems all too common. I'm not interested in spending $50-60 for 8-10 hours of singleplayer action.

daedalus-templarius wrote:It is different than halo, since it has classes and several different weapons than massive DMR usage, its nice to be able to use a different gun

Maybe Halo was a bad example. Other online games have different classes and weapon loadout possibilities, so the question is: would you pick Space Marine over one of these other games for multiplayer action?

I'm getting the impression that the answer to this question is "no."

Actually thats what Demo's are for, to see if you like a game before putting serious money on it. If you love the single player game, thats cool for you, but you don't need to get defensive because others here think its poor.



On a side note, I still think Multiplayer will make this game worth shelling out for, however, I am now getting this for Christmas, so to allow other DLC content to arrive, and hopefully have more options, or knowledge that more maps, modes etc are hopefully incoming.

Uh, what games?

And personally, yes, I would pick Space Marine over "those" games; because I really think the multiplayer is excellent.

Just as a fair warning, based on similar trends from other games (named War for Cybertron) the community may be dead by then and you might not have many people to play with. I could be wrong idk. Just think its worth mentioning.

Yeah, I'm watching the popularity as well, if in two months everyone is saying, yeah, this is done now and jumping ship, I may still skip it.

However I suspect a hardcore of 40K fans will keep it alive.

Of course it may prove insanely popular and still going strong, it all depends on what chunk the popular shooters take out of it as they are released over the coming months.

It wasn't an insult, but saying it is a sub-par button bash on any reasonable difficulty is being disingenuous. If you button bash, you will die.

As I said to you in the other thread, I played through on the "hardest" difficulty and had no trouble at all more or less just mashing the attack buttons. I don't really feel like engaging you any further - your position and views on the game are more than clear and apparently you are not willing to consider that other people don't see things as you do.
