I've done some multiplayer now, and it's been disappointing. Not so much a gameplay issue (even if there are weapons and perks that are ****ing irritating), but the fact that it's so unfinished. They released it with a mere four multiplayer maps and two modes. Not good enough, but I suppose they had...

Too peculiar...

I don't know whether to laugh or be scarred forever.

Why not both?

Damn. Does that mean we can't hunt them down and beat them to death any more? With crocodiles? Who shoot flaming bees out of their mouths?

So's the FiF...

I don't.

Also reminded me why it's always a bad idea to scroll down to the Comments section...:O

Should work now. It's a Good Samaritan story from Utah, about a young man who got trapped under a burning car after hitting it with his motorcycle, and his subsequent rescue by bystanders.

Kathleen dressed as a pig, saying "I can't get it up any more." That is a thing that now exists on video. Yep, we now live in a world where Alex has not only appeared topless on video, wearing a clown wig and having two vuvuzelas attached to his nipples, but also where Kathleen has made a...

Dang, this thread has GROWN!

Same here. When he started with "Dear Sir", I thought we were going to go into a Monty Python'esque letter of complaint.

The good thing about Space Marine is that you don't actually have to put down your sword. Ranged and melee combat are so seamlessly integrated, it's amazing that nobody's thought about doing it this way before. And Geoff? Once you get a jump pack, don't feel shy about ground-pounding into explosive ...

As for the people who claim that this "rips off" Gears of War, they can look at the healing mechanic in either game, and try to decide which one is cooler...

Squigs! I hate squigs! Especially when they're mixed in with a mini-boss type orc! Haven't tried the multiplayer yet though. Squigs are HILARIOUS! Nothing but teeth and bomb belt... :lol: Very satisfying to have three of them running at you at once, putting a bolt through one, and then having the o...

The finale was not very good, and the series as a whole was very, very wobbly. Not as good as the first three series.

I feel the same. Not one solitary "DIE, HUMIE!"

And thus, the SP campaign of Space Marine comes to an end. The final boss fight was a series of QTE's. Such a disappointment.

Overall, a good (if short) experience. Satisfyingly visceral, but that last boss fight? I suspect Yahtzee might have a thing or two to say about that.

I haven't tried multi yet, for two reasons. Firstly, I make a point of always finishing the SP campaign before diving into MP, and secondly I want to play with two friends from my CoDBlOps days, who don't have Space Marine yet. The game continues to be gorgeously gory, but don't go into it expecting...

Okay, I know that those of us who like 40K are considered nerds almost on par with Star Wars fanbois, but I don't really care. I just got my mitts on Space Marine and to misquote an old song, "Why must I be a 40K nerd in love?" This game is so violent, it's psychotic. I've played 75 minute...

I seem to recall that they devoted an entire show to it, several years ago.

Unfortunately, UbiSoft are just living down to their reputation. Them and Paradox are incredibly horrible to their customers.
