Space Marine is only fun when you are basically just murdering weak ass mooks left and right. It gets really unfun when the game throws a bunch of CSMs at you (it's 40K, it's not exactly a spoiler) or you end up fighting dumb turrets in hallways with no way to execute.

Shadow Blade Reload- Mother of Gawd where has this been all my life. I am having the time of my life. Such a breath of fresh air compared to some of this weeks titles I have had to play through.

Basically a Revenge of Shinobi style platformer with some serious elegance when it comes to level design and gameplay elements.

Speaking about Space Marine. Its funny as a did I wanted a Space Marine game and a Dragonlance game. I got both. But just don't love Space Marine much at all. Its so odd as it seems perfectly fine.

Loving it so far. They nailed satisfying gun and swordplay. Nailed it so darn good.
Definitely having more fun with it than Shadow Warrior for now.

First Binary Domain, now Space Marine. You are on fire lately with playing awesome games and posting amazing .gifs.

Test your chances!

And you are doing the Emperor's work.

I'm just going to go to you when I need game recommendations, probably going to download this tomorrow.

I'm not too fond of Warhammer's settings. Too gruesome and dreadful for me. :/
But it looks awesome.

The Swiss clap after landing, the Swiss clap after landing!

I've never clapped, I've taken the airplane maybe 20 times in my life and never witnessed anybody clapping. It must have been a lone clapper and then, you know, social pressure did the rest!

Even if we did clap... are we worse than those fools that clap at the end of a movie?

EDIT: we do have a boatload of speed cameras. It's just unbelievable. I used to live near a town that had THREE. Also, using tools such as gps alerts to know where they are located is illegal (police officers are allowed to inspect your gps to see whether you have suspicious "points of interest".
But this isn't the only weird thing about us...

Use depressurizer to manage your categories. There is no problem using it, if it concerns you

Yes and yes lol.
 
I've flown over a hundred times throughout the US and a bit in Europe when I used to live in England and I've never heard anyone clap. It's just a weird meme.

I have no idea about the lore and what Warhammer is all about.

Warhammer lore is epic, it's insanely rich, very well written, creative, dark and disturbing. Each faction has its own codex detailing it's lore, history, and rules.

There will never be a video game that depicts the Warhammer universe as it's written, unless it's some sort of a survival horror that's banned in most countries.
 
Doesn't Call of Cthulhu have a scene where a little girl(5/6) gets graphically mauled to death by a creature? And Killer 7 had all sorts of disturbing scenarios that they got away with without issues. Video games can get away with a lot, unless the Warhammer universe is Naked Lunch levels of sexual depravity.

That did happen in CoC though right? It's been so long since I've played it that maybe it's not as graphic as I remember it being.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

Oh yeah, I remember that. I want to say they didn't show it happening, but they showed the fairly gory aftermath. At first I thought you were talking about the scene early on in Prey where a little kid gets impaled.

Warhammer does have a god of depraved tentacle sex, but they've never really...Fleshed that out in the games. Slaanesh, I think.


So, I've been playing Burstfire. It's pretty neat! It's a little crashy, and I don't care for the match making being so slow--I want a rematch button--but it's pretty fun. Lots of opportunities to get behind people and ruin their day with a shotgun. And tons of places to do wall breaches. Everyone loves wall breaches!

I just noticed that Valve employee game counts go up now. That must have changed back when sub 61 went from "Steam Master" to a Valve publisher sub.



Yeah, I'm just making the point that registry snooping sites did exist at the time*, albeit very much under the radar, and that's how they got their info.

* I was supposed to say "since at least early 2012" as Archive.org's crawler can be a bit slow at picking up new sites -- e.g. after a bit of Googling, I found a mention of CDR DB dated October 2011 whereas Archive.org didn't begin archiving the site for another ~four months.

I remember they were using a terminal or something of that kind.
 
Seems interesting dlc but it cost a lot more than the base game :/
I believe the version they're selling on Playism is standalone and doesn't require the base game. So maybe they'll just bundle the game + DLC and sell it for 6.99 and sell the DLC separately for 2.99. Pure guessing though.

Mine is pretty and pink

There's still codes.

If the store page is accurate, it looks like Mad Max's release date has been pushed forward slightly. Hopefully that means WB is confident the port isn't a complete trainwreck this time.
