First day was rough. 30 fps and drops to 20 or less on big arenas, pop up way to much and not even a quick camera movement slide. Everything else was fine.
Haven't played with the new patch.
im liking it alot (more than HROT) on the hardest difficulty.
though the game is sometimes easy-ish, the second lord of change fight is a good challenge, and the frogs are the hardest enemies for some reason.
Damn, that's a missed opportunity. Sound design and especially enemy sound design was a big part of Build shooters (Blood especially) and that feels like a glaring omission.
Enemies doing barely any sounds when attacking or moving is honestly a letdown in this game. Sure, you don't need that much spatial awareness because the game is somewhat challenging only on the Exterminatus difficulty, but it feels pretty cheap when enemies can easily creep up behind you and deal 100 damage with a single attack.
This game is amazing. Playing on Exterminatus and I think anything lower would be too easy.
Yeah, there are more interesting marine chapters but it's hardly a factor in the game.
idk why 40ktards ask these retarded questions. you KNOW why they keep choosing the smurfs. they are the flagship chapter for space marines and are standard enough for normies to get into. no 40k autist wants more ultramarine shit but its about marketing not autism and you retards should know this.
stop being disingenuous. its not the color its the culture of the chapter. Smurfs are pretty bland making it easy to introduce the setting to normies through them. Anything other than "standard space marine" chapter confuses and frightens the normie and GW doesn't want that because they want to actually sell products not cater to fan autism.
Nobody knows who the fuck Fists are except for lorefags, also their color scheme is clown central and will not be taken seriously by normalfags. Blood Ravens are forever DoW bound.

God I love the Blood Ravens, I wish they would reappear in more 40k games. They're unironically a fun chapter despite being hastily slapped together and I like how they made their weird lore actually fit into the chapter's aesthetic and the setting.
Hope they appear in SM2.

Dumb fuck, why make a boomer shooter and include none of the things indicative of the genre? This is just pixelshit, plays identical to any other indie FPS and gays are falling for it.
>It is
No, it's not. >You go from point A to point B
No you don't.
In most levels you go from A to B, find a key for C, go to C, find a key for D, loop back to B, head to D then to E etc, it's not linear gay. At least play a game before criticizing it and outing yourself as being completely full of shit.
Why is it still such a popular meme to make your UE4 game but pretend that it was made in the Doom engine with flat 2D sprites for all dynamic entity graphics, instead of actually doing just that in GZDoom?

Don't they basically manifest the Warp through their "miracles" due to that fervent faith? Kind of like how the Emperor isn't really a god but inches closer to godhood against his will because of the vast swathes of retards who treat him like a god and brainwash other, bigger numbers of retards into doing so too essentially turning him into a Warp God like how the Eldar accidentally created fucking Slanessh?

I think they're boring because they're overdone and have been demystified. They don't come across as hyper advanced post-human super soldiers with deeper senses of unearthly and ultimately terrifying traits any more, they come across as generic power armor heroes.
Remember in Dark Crusade when there was a genuine conflict between the Blood Ravens and the IG due to their orders coming from different higher up sources, both of which they still had to abide by? You don't get that any more. You get "And then Vandis Thundercock and the Ultramarines arrived to save the Guardsmen from [insert enemy faction here]".

It's a matter of fact that every time GW gives IP access to a game dev group, they always produce mediocre shit. Relic and THQ were outliers.
I still didn't buy it, my card expired and the bank didn't send me a new one so I'll have to go tomorrow morning, can't buy the fucking game
By the time I can buy it no one would want to discuss spess mareens, how long does it take to beat it on hardest difficulty
I like the game but it loves to give you ammo, I never even come close to running out because there's always 20x as many ammo pick ups as there are enemies. Pretty much every single room has at least 4-5 piles of every ammo type, plus enemies drop more, plus there's the secret ammo boxes that instantly refill every weapon, plus there's the ammo upgrades that give you an extra 100 free rounds for the bolter.
I don't understand why they give you so much more than you could ever actually use, at least on normal.
Any other recommendations for other boomer shooters if I've only ever played this, the original Doom 1&2, and Dark Forces? I prefer combat over esoteric keycard hunting like in some of the Doom and DF levels though.
if you want a challenge plutonia -> no rest for the living -> DOOM wads.
if you want something more reasonable, quake or DUSK are good.

as for the rest: >A.W.O.L. (build engine squad-based tactical shooter) >Chasm: The Rift (a bit slow), also Perilous Warp (a modern fan remake of Chasm the Rift) >Cultic >Dino Trauma (a bit more horrory than actiony) >Doom and Duke Nukem of course >Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon (questionable - 80s vaporwave artstyle but it's an ubisoft open world collectathon stealth/action hybrid) >Gunman Chronicles (good luck finding this gay) >Half-Life MMod (HL1 but with no hitscan and other improvements) >HROT >Incision (Early Access) >Ion Fury (Duke Nukem 3d but you play as a hot girl instead) >Outlaws + A Handful of Missions (Doom but made by Lucasarts in the Wild West) >Powerslave Exhumed >Prodeus >Project Warlock >Quake (there's also a total conversion mod called Slayer's Legacy that sort of remakes Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal on Quake Engine) >Quake 2 >SiN Gold >Serious Sam Classic 1st and 2nd Encounters >Shadow Warrior Classic Redux >Supplice (Early Access) >Turok >Wanted! (HL1 wild west mod) >Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun
Of all those, only AWOL, Cultic, Dino Trauma, HROT, Incision, Ion Fury, Prodeus, Project Warlock, Supplice, and Boltgun were made within the past 10 years,
level design and enemies are so boring
the shotgun feels shit, it seems powerful but the damage is garbage, every big enemy just feels like a sponge, it's just not fun gunplay and most of the enemies just look like fucking rabbits or something
glad i pirated it because it bored me after an hour
It's really good. Could have done with more boss variety and better feedback when you get hit.
Best boomer shooter released in the past couple of years easy.
wait im wrong, he is reviewing weird west
he held a poll asking weird west or bolt gun and for a while bolt gun was winning hard, but now it's weird west
so yeah disregard me
>24 hours later.... I am forgotten....
Finished it in one sitting, it was ok, pales in comparison to the better community content out there for doom/quake, it's more style than substance. Level design is mediocre, weapon balance is just fucking weird, enemy variety is red mist or bullet sponge, difficulty seems way too low even on the hardest difficulties, not a fan of the lock on chainsaw kills, optimization was a little spotty and art direction was a little inconsistent with some stuff being sprites that ought to have been geo and vice versa, lots of overly detailed stamps/splats slapped over really low texture walls as well which just looked shit.
Solid 6/10, didn't hate it, but can't see myself wanting to replay it.
Will anyone ever give the Bolter/Heavy Bolter some fucking oompf? It blows my mind how a gun that fires refrigerator sized shells is always given the most namby pamby sounds by a community that prides itself on extreme autism. EVERY fucking 40K game makes the god damn Bolter a pea shooter. It pisses me the fuck off how retards in the industry who generally do a good job of nailing the atmosphere and visuals of 40K simply can't get a fucking gun to sound right. The closest game to get it's feeling and sound correct was Darktide, and even that still sounded wimpy.
What? The bolter sounds good and feels good in Bolter, in Boltgun, in fact it's the only gun that really does and I swear to christ I used it for 90% of the game.
This is the only game I've seen that portrays a bolter as a gun that shoots micro-missiles that explode, it's just a regular gun in every other Warhammer game
ITT: Bitch bros who don't know about the Uriel Ventris books and Chaplain "Give that nid a blasted lid" Cassius.
That being said Boltgun is still a disappointment gameplay-wise. Nothing feels right for either a Space Marine game, a retro shooter, or both, and as stated by other anons, $20 for 3-5 hours is criminal.
>$20 for 3-5 hours is criminal

Honestly, exterminatus would be fine if they just removed like half pickups from the ground. Encounter design is really solid by itself, but it just doesn't really matter, considering that every arena has two or three complete health and armor refills.
>Ganker and critics hate it
>normies love it
interesting
Has anyone dumped the soundtrack yet? I like some of the tunes.
The game is too easy and short
Play on hard or rather exterminatus
The hardest difficulty is still very easy. Im liking it though, but the amount of pickups in exterminatus should be halved
New Switch patch dropped.
How is the game on the switch?
First day was rough. 30 fps and drops to 20 or less on big arenas, pop up way to much and not even a quick camera movement slide. Everything else was fine.
Haven't played with the new patch.
>20 FPS
wow just like REAL boomer shooters! what an authentic gaming experience!
dunno what happened to you, been playing at my desired 144fps since it came out
afaik it has no gyro, so its automatically a shit port.
Good, I would've played it more last night but the bugs were annoying
im liking it alot (more than HROT) on the hardest difficulty.
though the game is sometimes easy-ish, the second lord of change fight is a good challenge, and the frogs are the hardest enemies for some reason.
dude i noticed this
the frogs are fucking assholes
they're not so bad once you're used to them, but god damn, they can fuck you up on exterminatus.
Do the enemies not have dialog/sounds, or is it just a 'my machine' issue?
Dialogue? Not really, no. Sounds? Enemy sounds? At most you get grunts and shit.
Damn, that's a missed opportunity. Sound design and especially enemy sound design was a big part of Build shooters (Blood especially) and that feels like a glaring omission.
Enemies doing barely any sounds when attacking or moving is honestly a letdown in this game. Sure, you don't need that much spatial awareness because the game is somewhat challenging only on the Exterminatus difficulty, but it feels pretty cheap when enemies can easily creep up behind you and deal 100 damage with a single attack.
The game is a little meh, but at the very least they nailed the look, sound and feel of the Boltgun.
I'm still enjoying it, will probably do another playthrough. My only gripe is that the levels are too linear and same-looking. Doom had more variety.
This game is amazing. Playing on Exterminatus and I think anything lower would be too easy.
Yeah, there are more interesting marine chapters but it's hardly a factor in the game.
>toilet seat smurfs AGAIN
Why can't we play a cool legion like Space Wolves or Iron Hands
idk why 40ktards ask these retarded questions. you KNOW why they keep choosing the smurfs. they are the flagship chapter for space marines and are standard enough for normies to get into. no 40k autist wants more ultramarine shit but its about marketing not autism and you retards should know this.
The greatest and perhaps most successful 40k vidya had some literally who chapter though
I just do not believe that a space marine being red is suddenly going to tank normie sales
stop being disingenuous. its not the color its the culture of the chapter. Smurfs are pretty bland making it easy to introduce the setting to normies through them. Anything other than "standard space marine" chapter confuses and frightens the normie and GW doesn't want that because they want to actually sell products not cater to fan autism.
So why not Fists then or Blood Ravens from DoW?
because Space Marine 2 is coming out and that features an Ultramarine too.
Nobody knows who the fuck Fists are except for lorefags, also their color scheme is clown central and will not be taken seriously by normalfags. Blood Ravens are forever DoW bound.

GZdoom cannot be legally put on a console, the GPLv3 has very particular stipulations against closed platforms, this is to prevent a company circumventing the GPL by making the device its made for locked down.
Yet, the Citadel isn't on console.
This seems like a game that should only be 5 dollars or at absolute most 10 dollars.

Never read the book you're mentioning so I couldn't really speak one way or the other but I do know at the very least that there's a reason they keep feeding psyker children to the Emperor and it's not for holy reasons. The Inquisition better pray Big E never wakes up because I don't see a single scenario where he doesn't immediately fucking glass them.
The Emperor is basically a God in the Warp already
He manifested in Nurgle's garden and burned a big chunk of it down and Nurgle didn't do shit to stop him
The only thing preventing him from pulling a Slaanesh on humanity is the Throne
Most trannies paint Marines, actually.
Most people in general paint marines, anon. So yes, technically more trannies paint marines but that's like saying most trannies know about Mario more than they would know about Jak and Daxter or something.
sororitas is the autism faction not the chud faction
if you got a nun player in the tourney theres a 100% chance he the most spergy fuck in the room by a long shot
Autism and trannies go hand on hand. I mean what straight man plays women?
nah its that too autistic to be a chud sort of sperg
>militarum
stopped reading there, anyone who uses GW's nu40k copyright-friendly names is a secondary and/or a newfag
I sometimes use Aeldari and Drukhari just to piss off eldarfags
It's been called Militarum for nearly 10 years
10 years later and it still sounds gay as fuck
I'll stop calling it that then
Was gonna post that thx anon
I think they're boring because they're overdone and have been demystified. They don't come across as hyper advanced post-human super soldiers with deeper senses of unearthly and ultimately terrifying traits any more, they come across as generic power armor heroes.
Remember in Dark Crusade when there was a genuine conflict between the Blood Ravens and the IG due to their orders coming from different higher up sources, both of which they still had to abide by? You don't get that any more. You get "And then Vandis Thundercock and the Ultramarines arrived to save the Guardsmen from [insert enemy faction here]".
Boring shit is popular so why wouldn't they?
>uh, sir, this hamburger I ordered has buns, could you be more cliche?
GW didn't make the game.
my face is my shield
>Why is this franchise so popualar with chuds and SJWs anyway?
imagine being to kill everyone who disagrees with you on an unimaginable cosmic scale
It's a good doom wad, what else is to discuss?
> I mean it's hyper masculine, big fuck
that's a prime target for them then since they are subversive retards.
that's specially ridiculous to me since i was never into 40k. i am only interested in this game because it is FPS.
I want to kill filthy xenos scum, is this the game?
those are filthy daeman scum
Xenos = anything non human.
Fucking heretics man.
Traitor legions are still human sort of
No just Chaos. If you want to kill Xenos play Space Marine, Dawn of War or Mechanicus
i forgot orks count as xenos
the graphics look like they're from 1999, why does it look so bad?
Noooo shut up it's supposed to look bad you fucking zoomer
>doom modders made this for free years ago
>you could pick multiple chapters
>weapon choice changed slightly for each
>actual voiceclips for the character
>soundfiles taken from the best 40k game, Space Marine
It's a matter of fact that every time GW gives IP access to a game dev group, they always produce mediocre shit. Relic and THQ were outliers.
I still didn't buy it, my card expired and the bank didn't send me a new one so I'll have to go tomorrow morning, can't buy the fucking game
By the time I can buy it no one would want to discuss spess mareens, how long does it take to beat it on hardest difficulty
I like the game but it loves to give you ammo, I never even come close to running out because there's always 20x as many ammo pick ups as there are enemies. Pretty much every single room has at least 4-5 piles of every ammo type, plus enemies drop more, plus there's the secret ammo boxes that instantly refill every weapon, plus there's the ammo upgrades that give you an extra 100 free rounds for the bolter.
I don't understand why they give you so much more than you could ever actually use, at least on normal.
im on the hardest difficulty and its the same.
if you want a challenge plutonia -> no rest for the living -> DOOM wads.
if you want something more reasonable, quake or DUSK are good.
reminder that Magnus did literally everything wrong
Any other recommendations for other boomer shooters if I've only ever played this, the original Doom 1&2, and Dark Forces? I prefer combat over esoteric keycard hunting like in some of the Doom and DF levels though.
Quake, and Blood. Have fun.
Amid Evil and Dusk are newer ones with fun gameplay and great atmosphere.
Do you mean actual old shooters or modern shooters in the retro style of gameplay and graphics?
I don't mind either way, I just like the fast paced movement and combat plus the retro art style.
>fast-paced shooters with retro art style
ok I'll tell you every game in my steam library that matches this description and also one that isn't in my steam library because it's inaccessible unless you already have the CDs - Aliens Versus Predator 2 from 2001
as for the rest:
>A.W.O.L. (build engine squad-based tactical shooter)
>Chasm: The Rift (a bit slow), also Perilous Warp (a modern fan remake of Chasm the Rift)
>Cultic
>Dino Trauma (a bit more horrory than actiony)
>Doom and Duke Nukem of course
>Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon (questionable - 80s vaporwave artstyle but it's an ubisoft open world collectathon stealth/action hybrid)
>Gunman Chronicles (good luck finding this gay)
>Half-Life MMod (HL1 but with no hitscan and other improvements)
>HROT
>Incision (Early Access)
>Ion Fury (Duke Nukem 3d but you play as a hot girl instead)
>Outlaws + A Handful of Missions (Doom but made by Lucasarts in the Wild West)
>Powerslave Exhumed
>Prodeus
>Project Warlock
>Quake (there's also a total conversion mod called Slayer's Legacy that sort of remakes Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal on Quake Engine)
>Quake 2
>SiN Gold
>Serious Sam Classic 1st and 2nd Encounters
>Shadow Warrior Classic Redux
>Supplice (Early Access)
>Turok
>Wanted! (HL1 wild west mod)
>Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun
Of all those, only AWOL, Cultic, Dino Trauma, HROT, Incision, Ion Fury, Prodeus, Project Warlock, Supplice, and Boltgun were made within the past 10 years,
Blood
if you want modern
Amid evil
Quake Arcane Dimensions
Quake 2 mission packs, Jedi Knight, Unreal Gold, Heretic.
depends of which poison you are looking for
Old Ultramarines from pre 4th ed were based.
level design and enemies are so boring
the shotgun feels shit, it seems powerful but the damage is garbage, every big enemy just feels like a sponge, it's just not fun gunplay and most of the enemies just look like fucking rabbits or something
glad i pirated it because it bored me after an hour
>shotguns termies and marines
>ignores str stat mechanic entirely
>Wtf bros why isn't this shotgun one shotting everything
okay but the shotgun is also shit at clearing rooms of toughness 3 mooks so its still shit
>can't use screams/taunts while firing
Why can't they make anything right?
I want a 40k shooter where you need to purge a Genestealer Cult and it culminates into a full Tyranid invasion
I'm hoping this is what Space Marine 2 is about
post some screenshots or some webms
At least it's more popular than Diablo IV
It's really good. Could have done with more boss variety and better feedback when you get hit.
Best boomer shooter released in the past couple of years easy.
its a shitty nu doom clone
hate the stupid red effect during the "you must kill everything in the room to proceed" moments
You need to get to the "gotten" part first to be able to apply for the "for"
this game is getting a mandaloregaming review soon so it will get even more normie hype
Does he ever review shooters?
wait im wrong, he is reviewing weird west
he held a poll asking weird west or bolt gun and for a while bolt gun was winning hard, but now it's weird west
so yeah disregard me
WHY DOES THE BRASS EJECT TOWARDS THE SHOOTER? ARE ALL THE GUNS MADE FOR LEFT HANDED SUBHUMANS?
How long it is?
Is it moddable?
I cant see shit in a long distances, cum painted climbable, excessive amounts of slow downs that ruin the pacing of the game.
Enough to make me uninstall it because i didnt buy it lol
>24 hours later.... I am forgotten....
Finished it in one sitting, it was ok, pales in comparison to the better community content out there for doom/quake, it's more style than substance. Level design is mediocre, weapon balance is just fucking weird, enemy variety is red mist or bullet sponge, difficulty seems way too low even on the hardest difficulties, not a fan of the lock on chainsaw kills, optimization was a little spotty and art direction was a little inconsistent with some stuff being sprites that ought to have been geo and vice versa, lots of overly detailed stamps/splats slapped over really low texture walls as well which just looked shit.
Solid 6/10, didn't hate it, but can't see myself wanting to replay it.
One thing I noticed that was kinda cute was how each weapon had a Strength value and each enemy had a Toughness value like the tabletop.
The game actually managed to bore me. It doesn't even compare to "similar" choices.
Will anyone ever give the Bolter/Heavy Bolter some fucking oompf? It blows my mind how a gun that fires refrigerator sized shells is always given the most namby pamby sounds by a community that prides itself on extreme autism. EVERY fucking 40K game makes the god damn Bolter a pea shooter. It pisses me the fuck off how retards in the industry who generally do a good job of nailing the atmosphere and visuals of 40K simply can't get a fucking gun to sound right. The closest game to get it's feeling and sound correct was Darktide, and even that still sounded wimpy.
I think the Bolter in Boltgun sounds quite nice, actually.
What? The bolter sounds good and feels good in Bolter, in Boltgun, in fact it's the only gun that really does and I swear to christ I used it for 90% of the game.
thats my plan
bolter all the way through
This is the only game I've seen that portrays a bolter as a gun that shoots micro-missiles that explode, it's just a regular gun in every other Warhammer game
this is the worst thing ive ever seen in a game
my fucking eyes
i turned all those "retro" options off, bloom sucks
I'm kinda impressed cause hurting your eyes is lore accurate here
its really good, i love the pick ups in this game, i really want to collect them like crystals in spyro
ITT: Bitch bros who don't know about the Uriel Ventris books and Chaplain "Give that nid a blasted lid" Cassius.
That being said Boltgun is still a disappointment gameplay-wise. Nothing feels right for either a Space Marine game, a retro shooter, or both, and as stated by other anons, $20 for 3-5 hours is criminal.
I wish someone that autistic enough to reverse engineer fire warrior and fix the game
And Final Liberation and Chaos Gate
>$20 for 3-5 hours is criminal
the game is 8 hours long bro
meanwhile I can 100% Blood Fresh Supply in 4 hours and that game is possibly the most fellated boomem-shootem on Gankereddit
>3-5 hours
dude i spent like 10 hours to complete this game
>things i like so far
thudding sounds on movement
7 foot hench bloke in solid metal plates of course he'll make thud noises when he moves
>boltgun
it pulverised the xenos
>lore
kill a pink, splits into 2 blues
>things i dont like
im a 7 foot metal tank with a miniture rocket launcher. the traitorous scum are standing around going >hurrrrrr and noticing me wiping them out
what would have been better is more alertness and enemies on levels above start shooting at you in response
i spent a while just walking around looking in corners because i knew unless i attack the idiots they dont do jack
>not liking consulting the Codex Astartes as an idle animation
But why?
good point well made
COURAGE AND HONOUR!
Honestly, exterminatus would be fine if they just removed like half pickups from the ground. Encounter design is really solid by itself, but it just doesn't really matter, considering that every arena has two or three complete health and armor refills.
There will never be another good 40k game after DoW

Only played an hour, but I wish this game had good level design with interesting enemy encounters instead of using arenas as a clutch.
I'm hearing they put D-Rok in the game. Is this true?
Turn This Ship Around is the menu theme. Don't know if there's more.
is the game 3 chapters long?
lesser plague toads are cute
😀
wait wait
°D
>omg why does a space marine sequel have Smurfs in it?!!!
THERES NO FUCKING MUSIC IN THIS GAME? I KEEP HEARING THE SAME TUNE OVER AND OVER AND IM STARTING CHAPTER 2
