Honestly, not sure yet. I've got a stack of games waiting to be played (including the apparentyl awesome Arkham Asylum)

Truth is, I just don't play pooter games that much. Far more likely to be found assembling my latest purchase whilst watching a film!

No, dude.

I was asking what GOTY meant.

**Necros**

I preordered it a few months back. Gamestop had a display for it right when you came in, and the kid behind the counter had no idea what I was talking about.. took him like 5 minutes to dig through his system and find it under warhammer after I had to suggest he try that.

If they have a collector edition laying around when I'm there I might grab that instead.. but not gonna go out of my way to find one.

You haven't played Arkham Asylum yet?!

Play that first. It's an amazing game.

**Grot 6**

Arkham City, Dead Island and BF3 need my attention more then this one does.

The Space Marine game was meh. I liked the Ultramarines movie better then I did playing this one.

If they could have just kept that sort of momentum going, made three more movies for the price of this game, it might have been worth it.

I got it. It was just too perfect not to quote the way I did.

Cheers!

**FearPeteySodes**

Not to derail but mark my words, Dead Island is going to flop.

**juraigamer**

I find it ironic when people say they aren't going to get the game because it's repetitive. We roll dice and move models all the time, all the same ways. We play games were we use the same skills over and over again. We also play all these clone shooters these days.

At least Space Marine doesn't have chest high walls and regenerating health.

**Avatar 720**

No, because I can't be arsed.

**wizardofgore**

I am looking forward to playing it. I enjoyed the demo. The guns seemed a little weak. I would rather a 2 gun system.

I will get it when it is at a reasonable price.

So you, as someone who hasn't played either game told your friend who has that his opinion is wrong? Is this a new trend or something? People used to actually play games before commenting on them.

**Chosen Praetorian**

A game based around a hobby i spend a ton of time on with amazing graphics and gore, I cant wait. It makes me sad to see so many people complaining, but as long as Ive been on here it seems like id be accustom to it.

You're going to be so disappointed the first time you take damage in the game.

**Fafnir**

Preordered on Steam.

Great fun, absolutely love it. It's certainly nowhere near Game of the Year material (that will be Dark Souls), but it's damn good fun.

**Schmapdi**

I played the demo and it was ok - but not that great. The combat is extremely simple and designed to look flashy over having and real control.

I'd call it strictly a weekend rental.

**Iur_tae_mont**

I will.

Looks fun, multiplayer looks somewhat solid.

It doesn't have regenerating health. At all. I've played the demo, and the only times you gain health are by finishing off enemies or going into fury mode. You have an armor like shield around you that regenerates outside of getting hit. 3+ armor save.

It's the Halo regenerating health system. Immediate health regenerates (shield) with a pool of health that, when reaching zero, kills you. No matter how they try to justify it or word it to make it not sound like regenerating health, it's one of the regenerating health systems that's floating around.

Not that I'm saying its bad, but saying it's not a regenerating health system is wrong.

3,600 in the hole isn't much. I have medical bills and I don't even want to go over that crap. Collections calling every day. It's pretty cute how hard they try. Anyways yeah, Torrent if all else fails.

In all fairness, Space Marines actually do regenerate all but the most grievous of wounds rather quickly, so a regenerating health system makes sense.

Nah, he's right.

I played Gears of War once for about 5 minutes back in 2006, and I was unable to figure out the controls. Even that was better than Space Marine.

Not that quickly. And they don't really regenerate damage like you're saying. If they did they wouldn't need bionics.

I much prefer Space Marine to GoW 1.

Fixed for accuracy. Halo had health packs and regenerating shields. Many games beforehand had regenerating shields as well.

**sourclams**

I found myself doing the following when playing the demo:

giggling
laughing madly
screaming 'HURR'

I intend to play Space Marine with much glee.

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.

You just saved me from typing a wholle lot of stuff.

Basicly I agree with everything you said, I think I'll give it a pass.
