"Same as they are now?" Are you kidding? They don't even have voice chat in this future never mind video chat! I mean what kind of shit-hole future is this???
Aye, it's a shame most people only get to see the intro or the first few stages. A lot of the later stages have very interesting colors hues and the bad guy themselves are always colorful (orks are green to begin with) and you yourself are dressed in blue after all.Graham_LRR said:The game itself is actually quite refreshingly colourful.bor3ds0ul said:Everything was so.... brown. So brown and bland. And why are monitors so horrible in the future?
There's lots of brown, but plenty of actual colours too!
Actually, Orkz reproduce asexually, they're a fungus. At least, that was the story last I played 40k, not sure how it's changed in the last 10 years.Neuromaster said:LOL @ giant green truck nuts.
"My Other Car Has More Dakka"The Gentleman said:"The Orks: The truckers of the universe"
I need a bumper sticker of that.
To be honest, I'm glad they've moved on. Not that it could be helped, but even they had a rough time making those cut scenes tolerable.Warachia said:I was really hoping for other M part 3, oh well.
The AdMechs of the Imperium have something of a scam going on. They are constantly looking for design templates to build superpowerful weapons from the past. However, there are rumors that many of these design templates are actually brand new creations made by the AdMechs, which is heretical.Random berk said:Sort of. Until now I thought that the entire Imperium was only using ancient, gradually degrading tech from a long lost generation, and that when it failed they would all be screwed. It made me wonder why in that case we were supposed to be rooting for them and not the Tau, who seemed like a reasonably advanced and decent, non crazy fundamentalist crowd.bird of hermes said:They know how to build it and in some degree (if it's their job) how it works, but they believe in the machine spirit, meaning that they think each machine has a spirit they need to appease before using. Also, they're restricted to some standard or other (that's a part of the lore I'm not too familiar with) and anything that doesn't conform to that standard is heretical. Hope that kind of clears that up.Random berk said:A couple of things. First of all, if humanity no longer understands the technology it uses, then who is building those titan things? Secondly, I didn't think objects the weight and general shape of safes could fly, even if you attached rockets to them. Finally, I don't know who voiced those space marines, but they all make Marcus Fenix sound as if he was voiced by Sir Ian McKellen.
I could be wrong about some of the details, but I think the general gist of it is right.
That's the best they can manage. No, I'm serious. The tech heads in this universe have LITERALLY forgotten most of their own tech! As for why they don't improve, there are many reasons ranging from legitimate concerns to superstitious nonsense. An example for a legit concern would be the risk of Deamonic possession. Think that mod to your lasgun that makes it more accurate is awesome? Too bad it's circuitry forms a mark of Khorne and now you have a demonically possessed weapon that now has control over you!bor3ds0ul said:Everything was so.... brown. So brown and bland.

If you're talking from an in-game perspective, it's because there is a LOT of valuable tech on that planet the Imperium REALLY does not want to lose or risk damaging. Titan production facilities are no small matter here.The Random One said:This was a great episode of Nonskippabulus.
Why didn't anyone suggest nuking it from orbit? Using those exact words, I mean? There was a perfect opening, and it's the only way to be sure.
The Ultramarines have been known to throw it out every once in a while before. I think this is the third time in recorded history.Vesuvius Hetlan said:A few things.
1. 5-37 days. Holy shit. That's waaaay too fast. Are you sure that isn't the time it takes for the Munitorum to acknowledge the need to acknowledge the need to stamp the forms needed to requisition the forces needed to file the call for assistance?
2. Did anyone notice that when Helmetless Marine 1 landed on the Kroozer it started to crash? Looks like someone really let himself go...
3. An Ultramarine taking unauthorized actions. Bull. Shit. Roboute Guilliman wrote the Codex Astartes. The book that contains every single doctrine and tactic of the Ultramarines. Breaking those rules is akin to complete and utter heresy. In the end... these must be the poser marines!

Of course, nobody I know actually likes the Ultramarines.
