At first, I was honestly expecting this game to be god-awful...
...but if those clips are anything to go by...
...well, I've definitely got my eye on it now.

Do "gore junkies" exist? I mean, seriously.

Also, this video totally did not sell me on the game. Looks like Darksiders with more numerous but less capable enemies. Mass combat was best done in recent memory in Batman: Arkham Asylum, and no God of War clone nor Dynasty Warriors-"inspired" game has anything nearly as sense-making and skill-centric.

Also, why did they talk about cover mechanics with healing? This is not a FPS. This is not a 3PS. Who takes cover in a beat-'em-up? And for that matter, why indicate positively that your game is wade-in-carelessly-and-maul-everyone? That sounds either completely easy or not sufficiently responsive to skillful manipulation to have much in the way of difficulty curves (For what it's worth, this concern has likely been taken care of in development, but the marketing-talk brings rise to the question nonetheless).

Bear in mind, also, that this is coming from someone who could be described charitably as "apathetic" about Warhammer 40k. Setting concept: "Hey guys, you remember when Christianity was awesome?"

So am I a bad person for not ever hearing about this game until the thread about the "journalist" that claimed this game ripped off Gears?

Game looks like it'll be fun. Gonna buy it for sure unless it ends up getting piss poor reviews.

Man do they really need everything to explode in giant clouds of red mist? I'm fine with blood coating the ground but when killing something blocks half the screen in a giant red blotch it really annoys me.

As much as I love Warhammer 40k, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this game will be painfully mediocre.

I swear you've said that once already.

OT: I like the look of this. Seems like you'll be a proper space marine, wading in and fucking shit up, not like the very much nerfed versions in tabletop which are only worth about 3 Orks at once rather than at least 20 (as it should be). Also, the Thunder Hammer looked badass.

My one problem was that the lascannon (yes, it was a lascannon thank you very much, I know one when I see one) didn't look powerful enough. It needs to be BLINDING RED LIGHT and go right through anything it touches!

I have. I wanted to reiterate the point to any who missed my original post.

I trust 'em. They have beards.
