Love this game. Well deserved
 
This is a good game and I like it but I wish publishers would just stop with the "player" count bullshit. Only sales matter. Veilguard and Shadows touted "player" numbers and they did so because they were complete and utter failures sales-wise.
 
Games like this should remind us that the industry is fine. Which isn't to say that every studio is going to be fine.

I think one major problem right now is how many startups there are. Everyone and their mother decide they could leave big companies and start their own company and make their own games.

I bet less than 10% of these studios are successful on their first game. The industry is spread too thin for this. Even teams with veteran leadership have issues because they don't have the money to hire sufficient enough people at a talent level sufficient enough to produce games.

Even remastering or remaking a game is difficult.
 
I will never understand this argument

Every game is repetitive

Cod?u repeat shoot people.
Fifa?u repeat play and score goal.
Tlou?u repeat stealth and shoot things.

🤷🏻‍♂️

You don't understand it because you don't want to understand it.

Gears 2 for example, it's a very similar game to this one, but it has a lot of variety of situations and the pacing is great, you are doing pretty much the same things throughout the campaign but its done in a way that you dont feel the repetition

This game on the other hand follows the same stupid structure constantly, there is barely any variety and it doesn't surprise you because after an hour playing, you already know what is coming next. It's predictable

I say this as a guy who bought the game at launch and played the campaign. I think it's an average game at best

Gears franchise is ten times better than this
 
Well deserved and really glad to see a AAA 40K game become big and budget wise it was on the lower side compared to most AAA and still did better as well as better received that a lot of them.

The best game of 2024.

Can't wait to see what they got cooked up for Part 3 with the Necrons and hopefully Slannesh daemons or go full green with Nurgle and Necrons.
 
That's ridiculously good considering how shallow and barebones the campaign was.

Edit: nvm its the "players" bullshit metric nobody asked for. They need to gtfo with this.

Got to agree with this one. Playing it fully co-op with my mates made it better

If it was just the single player campaign alone then I'd probably agree more with Gonzito Gonzito . Of course, being a Warhammer 40k table top nerd makes me incredibly biased as well. But playing coop with sons was another level for me. Most fun I've had in multiplayer in while.

Co-op by default makes anything better honestly. Glad you and the sons had fun mate
