I've been a huge 40k fan for a long, long time; I've read all of the Black Library Horus Heresy series novels released so far, not to mention dozens of other Abnett and Thorpe (a master of prose) works, I played Dawn of War almost religiously as a kid but I can't go back to it because I now recognize that those all important proportions are just off. I first noticed it when Space Marine came out on console, playing as a literal fucking Ultramarine was a dream come true but something felt off that I couldn't quite place. It was only when I started hanging out on r/warhammer40k that I realized what it was. Now I've never played the miniatures game but apparently in 40k there are different scales, and Space Marines were scaled wrong, they needed something called 'realscale'. Primaris provided, and when Space Marine 2 comes out they'll finally have the correcct proportions. I genuinely don't understand how anyone could have a problem with that.
Because the lore sucked ass and was a lazy excuse to remake the space marine range and trademark it. Literally no one wouldve had a problem with them making truescale versions of existing units hence why the base primaris intercessor kit is liked as you can mostly kitbash it to remove all the shit new aesthetic parts of it. The rest of the primaris range however is mostly full of terrible tacticool models that shit on the previous aesthetic that people liked for space marines. The lore as mentioned before is fuckign terrible as is such a blatant corporate excuse for the product its unreal.
The bottomline is is was an excuse to get marine players to buy their army AGAIN to keep making GW profit, except GW didnt do what they did with chaos as just make updated sculpts as they had some retarded idea to try and hype it up etc.
When I was a child I dreamt of being an Ultramarine, I would literally cry myself to sleep at night wishing I could live in the world of warhammer as one of Guilliman's own. Now that I'm an adult and have transitioned, not only do I find that the 'community' does not accept women like me as space marines, but they won't even accept those that have transitioned into primaris.
nah. the setting will sell it but for every mediocre one there is a total hit. spacehulk deathwing was total shit. what the fuck were they thinking, a horror game with space marines? horror games only work when the controls are shit so they made the controls shit
You're a retard. Steam reviews fucking DEMOLISHED Darktide
darktide had a rough launch. where it is now is about where it should have been at launch, the devs have been repairing content instead of developing new content.
I clicked like 3 videos from gays >I could play this for 8 hours
Oh wow I should try it....
Turns out the guy was 2 minutes into the fucking game and he's a lying sack of shit. There's no way the guy even finished it. >check their steam >doesn't have the achievements past the 1st boss
yep
I pirated it its pretty fun. played the first 2 or 3 levels then stopped to cook dinner and didn't get back to it
normal difficulty is way too easy i recommend 2nd from hardest
Cringe and serious fucking question here: how are fucking Metacritic threads still not ridiculed on sight in 2023?
Even if its not userscore, which is literally a meme, the main "critics" score is also useless because it features like random reviews from IGN Uganda and random french publications you never heard of.
Neither are part of the first world, and neither should matter.
>Of course those movie game enthusiasts wouldn't rate it higher that 7/10
Cuphead isnt movie game yet got good score (88%)
https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/cuphead
I remember Jeff saying that, by the end, giant bomb did only give review scores to feed them into metacritic. Their only way to stay relevant. That was a couple of years ago, but I doubt that has changed or is any different for 99% of the smaller gaming outlets.
If you were expecting it to get an 8/9 9/10 from professional critics then i don't know what you were thinking. Ion Fury got a 79 on metacritic and it's generally associated to be the best retro revival shooter today. The only people who are going to pull high scores for FPS games are ID Software.
>middling professional reception >overwhelming positive on steam
It's probably good. I don't expect critics to like any of these games. Dusk was the one exception of where an indie FPS got an 88 on metacritic and i have no idea why that is. I thought Ion Fury was better than that game.
Journos have to at least play enough to formulate an opinion or fake having done so.
A lot of those positive reviews have like 1 hour or less, same with the negative. Steam reviews are just people going with the flow mostly
No retroshooter ever really makes a 10/10. If you were expecting it to go above that just because the Warhammer name was attached, you had the wrong expectations. Clearly it's more budget oriented simply by the presentation alone.
>It's the truth. Nintendo pretty much made all other games irrelevant
Why are nintendo fanboys so painful that they have to bring up a game that has nothing to do with this genre or anyone who would be interested in it? fuck off you spergs.
Theres some retard going around spamming about trannies in literally every warhammer thread because one of the writers for SM2 is a chud
It's a mental illness, but what can you expect from terminally online shitposters
>It's always the mega mecha smurfs, the green morons or chud tier Chaos faction
Why do these cocksuckers keep doing this? Why even HAVE the other factions if you're never even going to use them?
>Middle of the road is often just as bad
Fuck that, no it isn't. With different genres that is true, with FPS games like this middle of the road can still mean quite entertaining and genuinely worth playing.
Worse still- if you follow the rabbit hole and look at his other reviews on the actual site it's full of such flagrant gayry he deserves a fucking sequined crown to be the Queen of gays.
He's reviewed 15 or so games and the reviews are ALL full of "Progressive" passive aggressive bullshit.
Can't we just purge all these RetardEra cunts from our hobby for fuck's sake?
>purge and main
Dumb ass journalist doesn't even know his 40K factions
In this game you play Space Marines who like to PURGE and CRUSADE
It's the chaos dudes that like to go KILL MAIM BURN
why are you posting review scores
it's like interviewing retarded children
get that shit out of here
boltgun is niche and from what I've seen appeals to its core audience, sweaty 30-year olds that like to think about the inquisition, and orks.
games review journalist is mentally about 8 years old and thinks about onions lattes
I think bordering on a 8. 80 would reflect the quality of this game better. 7 or 73 on metacritic seems too low to me personally. It's well polished for what it is. Unless they didn't like the story? idk
Deserved even lower for putting the term "boomer shooter" in the description.
Its a genre description that everyone knows instantly what its about.
You better get used to it,
But then again, Ganker is still crying over "immersive sims" as well.

Pretty good for a 20 bucks game
good enough for me
also devs are based for having using d-rok
>for having using
they play a d-rok song in the game? lmao about to go listen to noise marines
Their mistake for not naming it Zelda or Mario. Would have gotten at least 8/10 by default.
Obsessed
Proof me wrong, toddlers.

He's right though.

The ate primaris. So that's your answer.

that's a solid score for a 40k game
It's a good average game. A 7/10 game for 20 bucks? That's good. It's a success. Perfect AA title.
I pirated it its pretty fun. played the first 2 or 3 levels then stopped to cook dinner and didn't get back to it

Of course those movie game enthusiasts wouldn't rate it higher that 7/10.

Cuphead isnt movie game yet got good score (88%)
https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/cuphead
Yeah but platformers always excite soi journos. They're never really fond of any of the games in this specific genre.
Doom eternal is 88% (pc) and 87% (ps4)
Between streaming, youtube and user-reviews what exactly are gaming journalists even needed for anymore?
putting scores on aggregate sites
at best the appearance of professionalism and money backing them allows for interviews and insider information
I remember Jeff saying that, by the end, giant bomb did only give review scores to feed them into metacritic. Their only way to stay relevant. That was a couple of years ago, but I doubt that has changed or is any different for 99% of the smaller gaming outlets.
I need someone to clean my toilet
>Critics only criticize when it's not a "darling" of the industry
They should at least be consistent if they're going to be like this.
If you were expecting it to get an 8/9 9/10 from professional critics then i don't know what you were thinking. Ion Fury got a 79 on metacritic and it's generally associated to be the best retro revival shooter today. The only people who are going to pull high scores for FPS games are ID Software.
>A Doom clone where you do nothing but shooting galleries with 16 bit graphics
>*spyfaces*
Boomer shooters are the cringiest fucking shit
>middling professional reception
>overwhelming positive on steam
It's probably good. I don't expect critics to like any of these games. Dusk was the one exception of where an indie FPS got an 88 on metacritic and i have no idea why that is. I thought Ion Fury was better than that game.
Why is it always like this?
Journos have to at least play enough to formulate an opinion or fake having done so.
A lot of those positive reviews have like 1 hour or less, same with the negative. Steam reviews are just people going with the flow mostly
NOOOOO YOU CANT JUST RATE MY RETROOMER SHOOTER LOWER THAN 10/10
ITS PIXELATED, AND HAS SHOTGUNS AND ROCKETS AND DEMONS
ITS JUST LIKE PLAYING DOOM WHEN IT WAS NEW
>HAS SHOTGUNS AND ROCKETS AND DEMONS
>ITS JUST LIKE PLAYING DOOM WHEN IT WAS NEW
sounds like a 10/10 to me
No retroshooter ever really makes a 10/10. If you were expecting it to go above that just because the Warhammer name was attached, you had the wrong expectations. Clearly it's more budget oriented simply by the presentation alone.
Is it unreasonable to expect that the game would be rated within the boundaries of it's genre? Just like any other game pretty much.
it's problematic
the fact that you don't see so speaks volumes
It had the misfortune to come out in a post-TotK world. This will be the score of every game coming out during the next several years
retard
It's the truth. Nintendo pretty much made all other games irrelevant by showing just how big the gap between them and everyone else is
>It's the truth. Nintendo pretty much made all other games irrelevant

Well, it's a Warhammer 40k game.
Not the same studio though.
What does that even mean
Theres some retard going around spamming about trannies in literally every warhammer thread because one of the writers for SM2 is a chud
It's a mental illness, but what can you expect from terminally online shitposters
I've been an absolute whore for "boomer shooters" for years now and even I was bored and tired of this thing fifteen minutes in.
Where do I start with boomer shooters?
With original Doom.
look for games that are heckin pixelated and have ~synthwave~ soundtracks
I forgot that fun was reddit.
>It's always the mega mecha smurfs, the green morons or chud tier Chaos faction
Why do these cocksuckers keep doing this? Why even HAVE the other factions if you're never even going to use them?
they basically don't have other factions because they aren't nearly as popular as the flagships
>73/100 is LE BAD
fuck modern critics
Middle of the road is often just as bad if not worse than something that's actually shitty.
>Middle of the road is often just as bad
Fuck that, no it isn't. With different genres that is true, with FPS games like this middle of the road can still mean quite entertaining and genuinely worth playing.
I'm going to pick it up now and give my impressions later.
Gman said it's good. But Ganker says he's a shill.
We wait and see what Mack has to say.
Anyone who dares liking a game that Ganker does not like for retarded reasons, is a shill anon.
