Poll: Space Marine, the game.

[ResonanceSD]

I just saw the 10% off thing and a free copy of Darksiders with the game on steam. I'm thinking of getting it, anyone else going to/totally pumped?

 

[Samwise137]

I'll wait and see. I'm not overly excited about it.

 

[ResonanceSD]

I've been a pretty big fan of what THQ did with Dawn of War. Right until I loaded Retribution up. Seriously, wth.

 

[Smooth Operator]

No doubt will buy it eventually, but I'm careful with this one because it's a new direction for the company and they may very well cock it up.

 

[ChupathingyX]

It has potential to be really fun...but I'm still cautious.

Dawn of War is great and I'm glad Relic are branching out a bit in gameplay, hopefully they'll learn from any mistakes in this game.

They listened to the fans, retribution was the result.
And moving from live to steam probably didn't help the transition.

I get 'An error was encountered while processing your request:

The game lost half my interest when I saw the title. "Space Marine". Wow. Clearly a game that's going places.

The game lost the rest of my interest when I saw a gameplay video.

So as it stands, I might consider pick it up when the price drops to ten dollars or so. Which I'm guessing won't take long.

WHAT? It comes with a Blood Ravens chapter pack... Why did you not mention this before?
NO MORE ULTRASMURFS? YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My cunning plan to leave it a surprise just came to fruition.


But seriously. The videos made the ULTRAMARINES look cool. That's essentially a miracle.

 

[Mynarc]

One of my main fears about the game was that the weapon may not have stuck to their warhammer roots and not been over the top enough but after watching the combat trailer my fears look to be unfounded and the game looks fun.

 

[Tyson765]

I do not believe in pre-order. It goes against my religion.
But I am so happy that its coming out on PC that I am defying my god just to get it.

Seriously, even if I had no burning interest in the game itself I would still buy it just so that THQ continues to support PC since it was originally not gonna come out on PC.

Yes I bought it today after reviewing the trailers.
After playing 40k models for about 6 years and playing the games since start of last year I've always gone "This would make a wicked first/third person shooter" and now my dream is a reality.

 

[Zac Smith]

I'm sure OnLive were doing the exact same deal, except with that you also get the onlive tv box thingy.

Still, I'll get it for Xbox

 

[Knusper]

I would rather it be in first person but it still looks pretty cool. I won't be preordering it though because I'm not really interested in Darksiders and 10% isn't that much. I'll wait for the reviews instead.

 

[Iwata]

I own every single 40K game ever made, so yes. Yes, I am buying it.

 

[Udyrfrykte]

Probably.

I'm disappointed that no game trying to follow the tabletop rules has been made though. Not all turn based, but rather squad based combat (I could live with worse graphics for full squads, not those meh squad sizes in DoW2) with the random dice throw chances from TT. No hp, only wounds!

I liked Dow1 more than Dow2 for the record. A whole lot more, but that's maybe because Windows Live fucked things up.
