The game was not that bad. I gave it a 7/10.
The main reason it felt clunky is because it is suposed to be and I do not want to hear anything about taking cover. You are a Space Marine. You are TANKY. I personally say it was rushed and felt pretty average but the combat was well made and the multiplayer was not even needed yet it is a great MP. I got it for the xbox but looked it up on steam and it turns out that many still play the heck out of it. But I digress, Its only really fun when you have friends with you.
The free DLC they gave this game was well worth the time and the servers are much better now. Exterminatus will truly test your skills as an Adeptus Astartes.
Now if only they could make an expansion to let us play through what happened in DoW2 and let us face some Eldar.
More and more I play the video games instead of the table-top games because the new figurines are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to expensive and lack previous quality, add the new codexs (especially Ultramarines which fucked up my army big time) and the gradually degrading standard of Lore written by Games Workshop and the fact that nothing seems to have changed in the Universe means I just might only keep playing the video games and go to way less expensive table-top games (like Warmachine or Hordes).
Though I do like the Universe, it is starting to wear because nothing has really happened in the last real decade or so
Hopefully Eliphas can SSSSSIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNDDDRRRRRRRRRRRII! Failaddon (13 crusades and he fails in all of them), and breath some fresh air into the universe or something.
And for god’s sake can someone lower the prices to the figurines? they are mind-boggling expensive nowadays
i agree completely.
oh and the end that you are put as a hretic that shit
i am fan of 40.000 but the that is shit it does not alowe you to be encharj your just a fucking soljer thats it wtf it shit
I’ll play anybody in Dawn of War Dark Crusade, I thought it was fun to play in general.
I’ll play anybody on Dawn of War Dark Crusade if they want because I thought it was fun in General
guys stop hating on those who think this game sucks. they give reasons and express they’re opinion like joe does.
Unless you are very faithful and love the table-top game, don’t buy this game. Lacking content and just boring.
JOE! I love your website man, but you gotta get a review of this up!!!
Does anyone know who sang that version of Ave Maria? I really like it XD
@ObiJonKenoobi
100% true
I got -11 miss-rat for simply saying what the most of the people think. this shows how retarder same fan boys are. I play 40k my self got 5k Marines and 3k Nids >> but the GAME IS LAME AND BORING.
The hole warhammer 40k atmosphere is brilliant but the game play not…
anyone who disagrees with you is retarded. That’s a great way to make people agree with you!
anyone else get the feeling this game was rushed as hell?
Amen my brother. This game is a solid piece of crap. Everything is a shade of shit, the bloodletters look great just because they are the only interesting thing to look at because they have vibrant colors in a dull, lifeless landscape. All the weapons blow but the melta is at least an interesting interpretation. The voice acting is AWFUL, only ‘left-tenant’ Mira is decent and the Orks are hideously bad. Titus sounds weaker than the Guardsmen in DoW.
The plot is almost as linear as the level design. The whole game is basically a wide corridor to the next objective, which just involves a fuse box 90% of the time (<3 Spoony). The combat was so bland and repetitive, I was just running past all the enemies just getting to the next point and it felt like an utter chore to have to kill all the enemies in the area. At least the game grants you the mercy to run past more than half the encounters. At one point you see some tanks and I was like, "Oh my God! Am I going to get to do something different?!" Lol, no.
The combat was so clunky and unintuitive, the only time I died was when I got stuck on a plank of wood and my guy glitched, falling over and over from the plank to the floor. Or when I'm trying to stun and Titus just stood there, scratching his balls. More than all that, those executions were just unamusing to watch but I felt like I needed to use the stuns just so my brain wouldn't shut down in boredom.
If I had to rate this game, it would be a 5/10 at best. However, they over-hyped the hell out of this and if you're going to do that and not deliver something worthy, then that needs to be taken into consideration. For that, this game is a 3/10 and deserves no higher. Thank you, Relic, for bringing back the mediocrity back into games that has not been seen since titles back in the day on the Playstation, where games were just pushed out with some nice covers just to get the impulse buyers.
well said man at least the people who are signed up on this website see this game for what it is, i totally agree with you about everything 100%. i left a few coments on youtube saying how bad this game is and all you get is warhammer fans argueing saying its an awesome game and then calling me a gears of war fanboy and its just like no im not this game is just shit multiplayer is ok but only because you can unlock new armour and shit other than that i regret buying this game it was just a huge let down
Joe, you need to tell us what the AngryJoe army colour scheme is! I will proudly wear the colors in MultiPlayer!!! <3
I second this
,,Hope is the first step to disappointment”
I have mixed feelings about the game, the game play gets tired real quick, it looks good,
but IT WAS SO AWESOME KICKING ASS AS A SPACE MARINE.
I played it all through and why are the most weapons useless.
My mistake was to hope too much
May the Inqusision and the immortal emperor have mercy on my soul.
I hate to tell you joe but this game doesn’t kick ass. THEY HAVE FUCKED IT UP its so boring to play
JEAH Wath ever the game sucks hard… 5/10 simple nothing special.
Angry joe you rock! but how did you get your marine in that situation in first place unless he was you commander(i mean hello big nasty trygon). sorry i’m rambling ,40k is great and size is you space marine army.
Dear Angry Joe,
We gladly accept your contribution of space marine biomass, they were quite tasty. We look forward to future contributions to our conquest/culinary efforts and hope to see you again soon.
Sincerely,
The Tyranid Hive Mind
In all seriousness though I wasn’t too impressed by the demo. The game feels bare bones so either there’s a lot of gameplay aspects that aren’t in the demo or the game is set up to be another GoW clone with only the WH 40K license to support it. I will give Relic props for making things fit with 40K universe with things like the weapon names though. I’ll wait and see if the game is worth itand if so it will be a nice complement to DoW II and the Tyranid and Ork armies I’m currently building.
I dont think you will give the game a good review if you review it Joe. I played the demo and it gets real repetitive, real fast. Once you learn how to do the special moves all your really doing is pressing Y then X over and over again. If you play the 360 at least.
Hello Angry Joe!!! S-KILL from GREECE! Love you man (no homo stuff)!
Great reviews always on point no bullshit full of humor.
On topic… Game Kick’s ass. Def Buy!!! “;)
Imperium Dogs taste fine, but you Chaos Scum taste better.
Come, The Dread Axe Thirsts
“…and he that went before now came last, and that which was white and black and all direction was thrown against itself. Grown mightily indignant at the words of the Gods, Malal did turn his heart against them and flee into the chambers of space . . . And no man looked to Malal then, save those that serve that which they hate, who smile upon their misfortune, and who bear no love save for the damned. At such times as a warrior’s heart turns to Malal, all Gods of Chaos grow fearful, and the laughter of the Outcast God fills the tomb of space . . .”
-The Great Book of Despair
We are the sons of malice, servants to Malal. Bringers of destruction, followers of anarchy. All who serve the Imperium are blind and all who follow chaos shall be devoured, for Chaos ever feeds upon itself.
I played the Space Marine demo….didn’t like it.
iron within, iron without!!!!
You should do a top 10 reasons why Gears of War 3 is going to kick ass. I really don’t know much about war hammer but it looks okay. Although Gears is way better.
I disagree entirely with your previous statement.
The heretic must be purged
THIS GAME SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKSSSSS It IS a GOW rip off, not in the style really, but the gameplay is identical, but 10x more annoying, you can’t pick up weapons, so you are limited to the occaisonal ammo boxes you pick up, your health regenerates at a crawl, so you will wind up standing in place for 5 minutes at a time, and since there is no cover mechanic, you are constantly retreating everytime enemies come after you. And seriously, running frog with bombs attached to them, TICKERS MUCH???
GoW rip off?? OK… someone doesn’t know their stuff. First off GoW was largely inspired from Warhammer 40k so obviously a WH40K game is going to have some similarities, but the gameplay is completely different GOW is a cover based game in space marine you cant even take cover, there is a reason for this if near impenetrable power armour cant stop it putting a bit of rumble in front of you isn’t going to help either this is why space marines don’t take cover. As for weapons why would you want to pick up enemy weapons? YOUR A FECKING SPECE MEHRINE! What self respecting space marine would ever swap his divine bolter granted to him by the emperor of mankind for some shitty ork-made piece of crap?
As for health regeneration use your regen kills, you know the horrible bloody gory kills THAT GIVE YOU HEALTH. Even on the hardest mode there is not much reason to retreat since its much easier to kill enemies in close combat most of the time and easier to do those regen kills. So why would you ever retreat? Clearly you deserve to be shot by a Commissar.
As for running frog with bombs attached to them… yeah thats what orks do attach bombs to their squigs, this came about in like the 80s so if it is anything like what GOW has I think you have to ask yourself what came first?
The sheer stupidity of this comment angered me – rant over.
Just 2 minor correction.
Space Marine wouldn’t pick up enemy weakpons, beacouse it would be nothing short of heresy.
And no Comissar would ever dare to think of shotting a space marine. The Inquisition and possibly Exchiselarchy tho would. On the topic of greatest human fighting force: it would be suferfangsmic it they added an option to play the entire campagin as Sisters of Battle in campagin instead of Space MArines, even it it was a DLC. (Space marines aren’t human anymore, they are Superhuman).
PS: Bomb Squigs are awesomness. And quite reliable at that. Whenever I take Tankbustas I take them Bomb Squigs.
its not a fucking gow rip off! i have played the demo, and its nothing like it. its kind of similar to gears of war, but not that like it, you get to switch between cool weapons, you get to hack your enemies to pieces with you chainsword, you can fly around with your jetpack. also, warhammer 40k has more history and depth than that piece of shit gow! it has inspired a lot of other game out there, and bastards like you should know their place when it comes to games, cause all people like you play is these shitty, pure adrenaline based combat platformers or what the hell you call games like god of war
Hey Joe, Do you think you could finally start doing movie reviews again? You dont have have to start yet, after all theres no good movies out now & Id rather you saved your money. But when Dark Knight Rising comes out could you PLEASE do a review for it cause it looks fucking amazing & I d hate for people to miss ut on a great movie.
I had no idea you could create your own chapter. This…
IS AWESOME BEYOND WORDS.
glory for the imperium sir
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!
yeah space marine
Already pre-ordered it, steam 99 dollar deal for all the DOW’s and DLC, plus Space Marine? Sold.
Can’t wait for my chapter to rip into the Fallen Angry Legion, with much love from my bolter >=)
Man i’m playing the demo a lot of times and its awesome….it have problems ?….Hell yeah!! 1: no control over the other characters it’s a tactical problem you can’t send them to attack or nothing for that matter and 2: the sprint it’s…..well it’s…… well you can run just a little faster 3: you can’t switch between melee weapons only through a weapon pod is very restricted 4 final :no cover mechanic ….but beyond that the game looks and play awesome great graphics and great art style…..it’s Warhammer 40K it’s just awesome
U could always make an online chapter/clan with Angry Joe fans in it. I personally would love to try playing with u Joe xD
I second that.
Wherever ya head, Joe, I’m gonna be close and support you with my Jump Pack and jump down at any enemy we face and support ya ’til the end!
…And even after the end I’ll probably respawn and repeat it again!
What? No love or mention of the PC version and its demo? The game looks fantastic on the PC, far better than on the 360 and also supports the 360 pad so if your PC is up to spec (for comparison spec I’m using a HD5770 and a Phenom2 x4 CPU with 4GB RAM and can enable all ultra settings) you should really make the PC your first choice.
And for those that haven’t played the demo the jump pack is something special, I’ll be going assault marine for multiplayer.
Also regarding the free DLC, in fairness not a single penny of a second hand sale goes to THQ or Relic, buying the game 2nd hand so the free DLC is for people who support Relic and give them money to continue making games. Game developers and publishers are seeing the 2nd Hand market as worse than piracy for one simple reason, a 2nd hand sale is a guaranteed lost sale. When somebody pirates the game there is no guarantee that they would’ve paid for it even if it was only a fiver, a 2nd hand purchaser on the other hand has paid for the game but have paid nothing to the people responsible for creating the game.
Quite simply the 2nd hand market as it stands, especially the abuse of it by the likes of GAME and GameStop, does not benefit us gamers. Yes we can get games initially cheaper (shop aorund though and you can find 1st hand games cheaper) but if no money goes back to the ppublisher then you’ll either see less money invested in the sequel, the sequel be canned or the developer closed. Its in our best interest to make sure that developers who create our games that we enjoy are well supported by us fans. If we don’t and are happy to see devs and publishers screwed over for the sake of a few dollars/pounds then we’ve only got ourselves to blame when they fight back and push project $10.
I think Relic is becoming the new Westwood in that they’re branching out to new genres of games. Remember, Westwood not only pioneered the RTS genre, they also made great RPG games like Eye of the Behold and the Lands of Lore series. They made point and click adventure like Legend of Kyrandia and Blade Runner. Heck, they even made the Lion King. They were masters of multiple genres of games.
Relic is on a similar path. They’ve made great RTS games that advanced the genre with Homeworld, Dawn of War, and Company of Heroes. They made Dawn of War more of a real time tactical RPG. Now they’re making a third person action RPG with Space Marine.
cooool !
This game was a must-buy the instant I even heard of it. And looking at it now; DEFINETILY MUST-BUY!!
Looks like Joe needs to ask the Reliquarium for some good old-fashioned artificer armour. That way you’ll at least save on 2s
One more thing; INTO THE FIRES OF BATTLE, ONTO THE ANVIL OF WAR!! FOR VULKAN AND THE EMPEROR!
Joe, out off all the pre order bonuses there are i was wondering what you are going to get? i think the gold bolter but im not sure, Just wondering what you will go for?
cheers
I’ve played the demo, if the full game is like that the game will 100% Kick Ass. I do think that the Team Kill game was an early build of this game.
Even if it wasn’t an early build ’cause if u’ve played it (Kill Team) then u’ll get a special Power Sword in the game which I think is pretty sweet.
Did you know that Joe is actually one of the lost Primarchs???????
If he was then clearly he played a role in the Horus Heresy. He’s about as loyal to the Emperor as I sound Scottish… I’m from California. XD
FUCK YEAH!!! I’ve been looking forward to this game for a long time. I dealt with mediocre games like Firewarrior, Chaos Gate, and the god awful Space Hulk:VotBA but this game, this game is just, it’s going to kick so much ass! BTW Joe, you think your luck is bad on tabletop? Try rolling against Tau Pathfinders with terminators with Lysander, lose 3 terminators and 1 wound on Lysander then fail your Stubborn moral check, then to top it off the pathfinders outflanked very close to my table edge so guess who ran off the table?
I never thought Fire Warrior was mediocre, I love it, the athmosphere is fantastic and playing as a Tau is great, it’s a great Warhammer 40k-game (expect the fact that ONE Fire Warrior massacres Space Marines ..) but it’s still great. If you see it as a shooter then it’s mediocre yes, extremly linear and repetetive, but I still love it for what it is.
Wow…in the end a space marine kick joe ass O_o
