XBL? Pfft, Steam.

I'm going to admit this: I was wrong about Spacemarine. It's good.

Spoiler:

The feel of the Marine isn't quite right but this is a beta build (I hope) and the botlers don't feel satisfying enough either, feels like I'm firing a heavy MG while some one whacks a bucket with a hammer.

It's also tougher than I expected it to be. You can't just wade in to the Orks and expect to be left standing afterwards.

It does certainly deviate from the fluff, thats immediately apparent withint minutes of starting the game.

Also, the two buddies coming along for the ride could just as soon not be there.

The scale of the marines aren't 100%, but the guardsmen do certainly look like teenagers compared with the marines. I think the marines need to be atleast half a head taller.

A guy on another forum I go to has the same issue and I've had the issue a few times with games in the past.

People suggest a couple of things, restart Steam, restart your PC, etc.

I usually have to wait a few hours and in one case a few days before what ever the problem is goes away. Sorry to say dude.


I thought the big red gits were nobz? Not slugga boys?

In the demo, I thought the orks were as follows:

Bomb Squigs (You'll know one when it tries to eat your knee cap)
Gretchin (Tiny buggers)
Choppa boyz (Dudes with cleavers)
Shoota Boyz (Yellow dudes with bigger machine guns)
Nobz (Biggest ones with the red armour)

On the site though, it doesn't mention the choppa boyz and calls the nobz 'Slugga boyz'

I thought slugga boys were just normal boyz but with a slugga instead of a choppa. If the big, red armoured orks are slugga boys, how friggin huge will the nobz, warbosses and big mechs be respectively?

@CT Gamer: the stuff you've pointed out are simply because the primary development platform is the console market.

Had it been the PC, we'd have realistic wounds and multiple character models for the orkies.



I asked this a couple of posts ago and It seems no one read it:

What's with the naming on the ork types?
