/v/ - Video Games

I haven't played it but everything I've heard from my buddies (who are all slavering, army-painting 40k fanboys) is that it's way too streamlined to be considered a Diablo clone (no inventory tetris, no picking up gear mid-mission, etc) and too complex to just be a mindless action game. They could be wrong but it lines up with the other (((reviews))) I've read/seen

>>15132636

Oh, forgot to mention there are just three classes. The typical fighter, mage, and thief with Crusader, Psyker and Assassin, if you're a fan of Dakka, go Crusader and get lots of bolters.

>>15132577

It's fine, much better than the older 40k shovelware. You'll get a few hours out of it at least.

>>15132636

That image is great, imagine if the planet exploded and hail made of guardsmen started raining all across the galaxy

>>15146953

I think the planet would just collapse under its own weight. That many bodies would definitely create a formidable gravitational force, enough to make a planet made of flesh, and flesh isn't rock. It would probably be pretty gruesome all around.

>>15149366

>I think the planet would just collapse under its own weight.

Not if there's still a commissar.

>>15149646

I like where this is going

>>15149804

Beastmen perhaps, the emperor only likes catgirls.

>>15149804

>third pic

so where is the 40k dating simulator?

>>15132577

it's ok. Get it on sale if you can.

I like the variety between ranged and melee, but the ranged feels like they wanted to go for a traditional tabletop esque fare what with cover, but realized it wouldnt work when it was done. but shoved it in anyway

What do you think about Commorraghan Sims?

>>15149946

Oh, neat.

Is the always online shit over yet?

>>15132577

Requires always online, korean tier grinding, repetitive missions and enemies, no endgame, and has bugs and balance issues that you would find in early beta. Multiplayer is currently unplayable due to the bugs and lag, and to top off this shit sunday the population has tanked in the one month its been out of early access.

I've been following this shit show for a while, hoping it would improve, it hasn't. It might be worth getting in a few years but at the current rate I'm betting the devs will abandon it before then.

>Gorkamorka kart

>Not having Gorkamorka be the GTA/Saints Row style Warboss simulator

>Not project Terra racing

Also, A proper WH40k racer needs to have the Space Marines front and center (if only because of GW branding bullshit), but this time have the White Scars be the poster chapter. Who better to sell a racer than the legion descended from the literal primarch of going fast?

>>15149836

This stuff is solid gold bait

It should not have been an inwuositor game but instead a team based action rpg with defined roles to play, or a squad based rpg. Instead we got a game where inquisitors are one man armies and it's pretty stupid.

>always online

Does it have microtransactions?

>>15151029

Why the fuck are GW so willing to whore out their IPs to this shit?

>>15132577

>So how is this shit?

Boring and super-repetitive. Asides from the good graphic design it's one of the most boring twinstick-shooters I've ever played. And the class-build elements are shit because they hardly change anything.

>>15172189

From what I heard GW always were the biggest whores´ sons on the planet.

Maybe they all got Jew mums?

>>15178341

Actually, GW were sitting on the IP for the longest time, refusing to hand it out to video game companies for fear of vidya harming figurine sales. For example, Starcraft was meant to be in WH40k universe, but GW then pulled out.

Then, however, in 2014, something changed and GW started whoring the IP out to pretty much anyone who asked, which is why there's so many shitty WH40k games lately.

>>15151420

I still stand by that it should almost be Lego racer esque with customizable karts, extra factions (SoB, Squats, Diggaz) and all sorts of ridiculous power ups and usable weapons (part of the fun of customizing your kart), let the white scars be the Chapter poster boys but it should be an Ork game.

Actually what have been some good Warhammer games recently? We had Space Hulk, but it seems for all the IP whoring, we only end up with a lot of half asked top down games

>>15178566

>Warcraft was meant to be Warhammer, X-com was meant to be a Deathwatch game

Good fucking riddance both of them are unique original titles instead.

>>15178566

>making a tabletop wargame into a party game and trying to sell "kid safe" warhammer

If youre talking about AoS, they fixed that.

GW changed CEOs wich brought this weird period of them fucking shit up too quickly, now they are more balanced and bringing up things like necromunda, the squats and sisters of battle.

>>15178432

>>15178566

That was very interesting and depressing.

Especially after my old goto SciFi was Star Whored and Tranny Trecked to hell&back.

I guess the books W40k is worth to dive into?

>>15178774

Hay anon, dont compare.

GW is retarded and loves money, but not pozzed, specially not after the shitstorm their 40k for kids things caused.

>>15178757

>GW changed CEOs wich brought this weird period of them fucking shit up too quickly, now they are more balanced and bringing up things like necromunda, the squats and sisters of battle.Bitch please they even took back the license from FFG for the RPGs which was the last part of warhammer that didn't suck balls.

Everyone I know just stop paying GW for anything.

Want to play WHF? Buy Wrath of Kings figs.

Liked Mordheim? Play Malifaux.

Want to play 40k? Buy Infinity/battletech figs.

Sure you can't use it in """"official games"""" but so fucking what?

The figs are a million time better (lot of them are cheaper too), you don't feed the beast and unlike vidya you can still use old codices to play forever.

GW made it's bed they can go lie in it.

>>15149930

40k Wargame

>>15179066

Bullshit, if you want to play 40k you dont play infinity beceuse thats a skirmish game.

The 40k equivalent to infinity would be necromunda or the upcoming killteam.

>>15149930

Terra Defense Force.

>>15178566

GW dodged a dumpster fire with Blizzard though.

Warhammer is gonna be ruin forever if he has gone Warcraft direction.

>>15178756

Uniquely shit. Blizzard has been pozzing shit since as far back as Starcraft ("remember, kids, rednecks are evil!") and only got more leftist as time went on (most of Warcraft 3 is about muh poor opressed orcs and evil racist humans, with orcs being an incredibly blatant parallel for niggers in the USA).

>>15183176

The actual Warhammer Fantasy games turn out to be breddy fine (Shadow of the Horned Rat, Dark Omen are fucking awesome, and Total Warhammer is good, even if the devs are a bit pozzed).

>>15183176

while blizzard has indeed been pozzing things for awhile now, have you even actually played the first starcraft?

the terran protagonist, jim raynor, is himself a redneck. he's the good-guy of the humans, while the nonredneck humans (the UAE) are seen as evil assholes butting in where they shouldn't.

additionally, the only nigger in the entire game, samir duran, is revealed to be a backstabbing double-agent working for the xel'naga.

so i don't really see how you consider starcraft1/broodwar pozzed.

>>15183205

I would agree with you if they don't make the other terran organization also evil, especially Arcturus Mensk.

>so i don't really see how you consider starcraft1/broodwar pozzed.

Well, Kerrigan is literally pozzed by the Zerg and she becomes the victor out of Brood War and all the heroic characters (Duke, Fenix) got stupidly killed by her.

>>15183215

well for mengsk, remember that when he first turned evil, the UAE hadn't even been introduced yet. the only humanity that the player knew at that point were the humans of the dominion, and thus, there's nothing pozzed about making some of them evil, since it creates conflict for the game inwhich the good humans (also rednecks) are able to prove themselves.

and with kerrigan, yeah she got ZERGED.com, and i guess this falls into personal taste, but i thought the fact that some of the heroic characters died in battle against the enemy was noble. it would of been lame if the enemies had all been stormtroopers who lacked the ability to kill off any of the chars on the protag's side unless they were already destined to die anyway a-la obiwan.

the fact that kerrigan's swarm was victorious militarily isn't really an issue of pozz either, since it's still obvious that she's evil and must be stopped, and the good guys are still working to stop her. being victorious militarily while being an evil bitch doesn't make a game pozz'd unless the narrative showcases her to be in the moral right aswell, which starcraft clearly didn't.

>>15183237

But the Confederacy was the redneck.

It's some weird ass tripe where Arcturus Mensk rebelled against a corrupt regime, then turns into a corrupt regime (Communist commentary?), then another Terran organization comes from Earth, and they are also evil, turning Raynor and his ragtag group to be the only truly good guys (never mind the lawful neutral people in the Confederacy like Nova who later rebelled anyway)…

And Fenix and Duke got backstabbed by Kerrigan, it was a stupid death. And I would agree with the other point if the 2nd game doesn't redeem Kerrigan and turn her into some kind of goddess and white washing her crimes.

>>15183254

fuck the second game. that shit had none of the original developers or writers, aside from metzen, and that's not enough to make it canon in my eyes. broodwar was the last starcraft game.

regarding their deaths, fenix died in battle against the zerg, and duke, well yeah he got screwed. but again, it adds depth to the narrative to have some deaths be teh result of treachery rather than in battle.

and the confederacy and all of its' inhabitants were rednecks. the government was shown as evil, but the inhabitants were shown as good. when the entire human population (until the point where the UAE are introduced) are rednecks, then some of them being good and some being evil is natural, and clearly isn't based on their redneckness.

especially considering that the citydwellers like mengsk ended up being the traitors, and the redneck of the rednecks, jim raynor, who was sheriff of some backwater deepwoods-style area became the hero.

>>15183283

sage for stupidity, but replace UAE with UED. no idea what the fuck i was even thinking with that acronym.

>>15183283

Again, Fenix got offed by Zerg, got DRAGOON'ed, then he got offed by Kerrigan by treachery.

It was a bullshit death.

>>15183310

it makes sense within the context of the story that someone as evil as kerrigan had become would use treachery to achieve her goal. and since she's indeed powerful, it makes sense that some of that treachery would've resulted in casualties.

either way, bullshit or not, it still doesn't make the game pozz'd.

>>15183320

The Space Marine game was quite decent.

Awesome intro tho.

>>15183331

When I said "good" I also talked about lore and the plot component.

>>15183349

if you've played the arpg van helsing games and liked those, then you'll probably like this since it's the same dev team.
