Humble Bundle seems to be funneling money to the ACLU without users knowledge. So keep that in mind

Is this a spambot?

>>15638473

Seems like it could be

>>15638473

Never thought about that. But yes, I could be a spambot

so is that all you have to add to this thread?

What's in the fucking box

>>15638541

If you watched the whole webm you'd knew :^)

>>15638516

>40 minute movie containing actual information and audio throughout is 8 MB.

Size bloat is fucking cancer.

Pirated it soon after it came out. I played it all the way through and had fun. There isn't really much to discuss, the gameplay is what it is, if you think it gets the feel of being a space marine right then you enjoy the game.

What's your dream 40k game /v/? A high quality RPG could be interesting, but there's so many different roles that could be played it would have to be story based.

>Wargame 40k

>Lines of half a dozen basilisks firing in unison on heretic infantry

>Platoons of men being killed in seconds by a Knight's guns

>IG sending a dozen leman russes and a hundred men across an open field while 30 tau and 3 hammerheads try and play actual Wargame using gay shit like "cover"

>Skimmer rush with DEldar

>None of this will ever exist even though Eugen's parent company has made 40k games.

Raven Guard: Tactical Espionage 40k Action

>>15638668

My dream WH40k game? Hoo boy.

>like Battlefront 2 but in the WH40k universe

>can descend from space battles to ground wars without a loading screen

>servers support over 100 players each team

>huge battlefields

>everybody starts out as the grunts, the gretchin, the cultists, gaunts, etc - basic infantry

>accrue points and after each life you get the option of promotion

>can become warbosses, hive lords, chaos champions, necron lords, kazrkin, generals, librarians, etc

>never ending war for the most part until by some measure some slight advantage is gained and you win

>incase of a one sided battle, losing team will summon the strongest unit they have available

>could be a titan, a broodlord, a stompa, a baneblade, whatever

It has potential to be awesome but I know it’s too ambitious for modern devs, and it would never make it. I love to dream about it though.

This video but the game is a first person shooter and every one of those units is controlled by a player.

The sad thing is modern big budget developers would be too incompetent to make it.

>>15638700

Tbh I feel that to properly get 40k feel, probably should have a variety of AI controlled cannon-fodder units and give players more higher level classes, Ork Nobs, Marines, Tyranid Warriors etc while having them basically help push their sides forces forward onto objectives/caps. Throw in some heroic commander/super vehicle options as rewards for doing well.

>players duking it out as say, Black Templars vs World Eaters with hundreds of AI controlled guardsmen and blood pact troopers, various basic vehicles as well. Capping various objectives gives your team major benefits, summoning specialized reinforcements (cap an imperial temple as chaos, get some AI bloodletters, retake a communications post as Imperials, can call in valkyrie strikes etc), giving passive bonuses and so on. Enemy headquarters has bunch of entrenched defenses, and bring out the commander/his bodyguard when attacked.

>>15638826

That wouldn’t be a bad idea either, but I’d rather if those AI characters were dangerous as well. Players shouldn’t be afraid to die (unless there’s some mechanic that limits eldar/tau more than other armies)

>What's your dream 40k game /v/?

>Game about a brand new chapter (you make it in a creator before you begin the game)

>First task is to secure a home planet they are gifted

>Warp fuckery decimates the chapter while in transit

>Only a very small portion of one company arrives

>Planet is fucked

>Chaos cults rapidly growing in power

>Several colonies swear allegiance to Tau

>Eldar pirates and dark eldar raids while simultaneously wagging their dicks at each other

>Main character is acting chapter master as the highest in command

>Have to secure the planet and bring everything under control

>Must build a fortress monastery

>Cannot allow gifted home planet to be exterminated

>Planetary view where you can organize units, equipment, and structures, as well as choose when and where to deploy

>Have to recruit more marines using your limited gene seed reserves and assist the PDF to gain allies and advantages in combat

>Combat would be real time with pause where you deploy to a location and have to either complete an objective or clear the map of all enemies

>Midgame

>Inquisitor shows up

>Tells you that if you don't maintain good progress then the planet will be purged and the chapter disbanded

>More of your chapter arrives in a damaged ship

>They are the last scraps of your chapter

>Other space marine chapter shows up

>Sees state of planet

>Declares you renegades and focuses on attacking or sabotaging you

>Chaos cults progress

>Chaos marine and daemon appearances

>Crushing one cult too hard results in a power vacuum causing other cults to rapidly fill it out

>Craftworld Eldar incursions begin due to "mysterious reasons"

>In reality they're trying to locate and reclaim something either the pirates or the dark eldar have taken

>Recapturing settlements that are loyal to the Tau grants large resource bonuses to both the player and the PDF

>But every settlement slowly unleashes an Ork Waaagh that the Tau were containing

>At one point have a ceremony declaring you the official chapter master, once the last remnants of your chapter arrives and the fortress monastery is complete enough

>Win the game by defeating each faction in a final "boss encounter", with every other boss getting harder after each one being defeated

It has to be a custom chapter because you want to handle your doctrine your own way, have your own relations, and I'm also sick of all of these games adopting the same 3-6 original chapters and being forced to adhere to what that chapter would do.

>>15638668

Monkey Island, except it's Orky Island and you play as a young and aspiring Ork Mekboy who has to solve all sorts of riddle while more than often openly laughing into the face of physics.

>>15638925

>all that shit

I'd play the fuck out of that.

>>15638925

>he hasn't played Chapter Master

>>15638826

>a variety of AI controlled cannon-fodder units and give players more higher level classes, Ork Nobs, Marines, Tyranid Warriors etc while having them basically help push their sides forces forward onto objectives/caps.

Sounds like a W40K MOBA tbh.

>Chapter Master

Didn't that guy cuck out and not finish it?

>>15638668

>dream 40k game

Both FPS Either playing as Elysian Droptroopers doing radical shit, or a legitimate full scale planetary war where you play from the imperial guard getting overrun in 2 second, to the space marine doing hectic shit, to the imperial titan stomping on your own men while demolishing mountains.

Just got done playing space marines for an hour on Exterminatus multiplayer, first time online, was fun. Nice to "progress" and get stronger weapons, having an actual varied role that matters to the team. Or at least giving different play styles.

>>15640364

I have but he stopped at a point where the game is so incomplete that it's indistinguishable from all of the other 40k games coming out lately, nor is it really similar to what was posted. I am also surprised that, since he released the source for chapter master, that nobody else has taken it up.

>>15638961

>You play a Mekboy on a Freeboota, tasked with fucking everything

>You have to find THE THING, to use on THE THING, so you can progress to try more things on things

>but the trick is EVERYTHING IS THE THING

>tampon, red hering, Chekov's gun, no matter what you try, you'll be right!

>the real challenge is finding enough things to use on other things so that things actually work.

>>15638467

Pretty sure you can just play by it self, don't really need tips. Just aim and shoot.

>>15642752

I wouldn't go quite as far. Was thinking of something more in line of Sam & Max humor.

Like turning a goldfish bowl into a space helmet.

>What's your dream 40k game /v/?

Fucking give me Gorkamorka you fucking cunts. I'd also love what Eternal Crusade said it would have been, in that paid players would have been high level characters while all the Russians and Brazilians were the extremely low level IG/Ork characters.
