Support NeoGAF

[Fjordson]

I got it for the X360 and it runs&looks great. What a great job with the environments, tones and overall feel--barely touched the surface of the game so far. The MP customization alone is going to take a big chunk of my life, lol!

Tonight some SP and tomorrow str8 to MP so there are more friends online. The day is finally here.

Thank you Relic and THQ.

Ohhh man, I can't wait.

 

[Alex Connolly]

I believe Chaos shows it face.

*many screaming mutant faces.

 

[Tallshortman]

Is it confirmed to be Orks all the way? I was kinda hoping there would be other races as well.

Chaos Marines are definitely in the game although I haven't gotten that far yet.

 

[FieryBalrog]

Ah, cool.

 

[Booshka]

Interested to see MP impressions. I could use a new, good and unique MP shooter. Hopefully some of the networking growing pains are sorted out quickly. If they are severe enough they could really cripple the game's online community, the first few weeks are pivotal.

Those still waiting on the game to unlock can use the VPN trick if they wish to play it now.

Edit: I just bought a Space Marine key myself (thanks to noise36 for the heads up).

 

[derFeef]

Ok, bolt pistol and chainsword only, I can do this.

This game is goddamn amazing. Gears of War is a joke compared to this. Hats off to relic.

Why wait 30 hours when you could be playing it now?

It involves an element of risk, no ?

 

[JaseC]

Perhaps, but the accounts of those who used it to play DE:HR earlier than intended seem to have escaped the wrath of Newell and his knife collection.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I can see myself putting the MP next to TF2 and Dota 2 for the coming years. Yes indeed.

No issues here. Unlocked the game with VPN on, went offline-mode untill the game actually unlocked in my region. I'm using Steam in online-mode right now. No issues.

I will grit my teeth and hold out.

My mind is strong. My soul is secure.

Someone do me a grand, billowing favour and tweet Raph van Lierop, asking if the co-op can be solo-ed. I'll gift two (good) Steam games to someone who gets an answer.

 

[Dina]

Prepare for battle brothers.

I'll know little of factions, but The Black Librarians have the ballest (?) colourscheme of them all.

Black Templars.

They will fix it. Believe.

 

[Salsa]

They will fix it. Believe.

but im not talking about the matchmaking being bad, im talking about proper dedicated servers support

 

[Sinatar]

They will fix it. Believe.

They can do whatever they want to the matchmaking, it doesn't change the fact that the multiplayer is peer to peer instead of dedicated servers. The PC community will abandon this right quick.

 

[Dina]

Black Templars.

That's what I meant to say.

 

[Herla]

I guess we'll just have to keep the multiplayer scene alive...right?

...right?

 

[Glass Rebel]

I know, but is there really no chance that they put it in in a later patch?

Ordered a cdkey from cdkeyshere for £14.99. Quite a difference compared to the €49.99 Steam wants me to pay.

Come friday I shall kill, burn and purge the enemies of Man. For the Emperor!

Sterling. They do say "up to four players" - which suggests that one doesn't need a full team in order to start a game. Which would be a slightly silly impediment to place before a game that is already going to be pressed by competitive online MP alternatives.

I know, but is there really no chance that they put it in in a later patch?

They've been pretty damned emphatic that this set-up is how it is going to be. Of course, it wouldn't be a good look for them to come out pre-release saying "yeah, we're just going to give this a shot". But they seem set on this - probably THQ rather than Relic, that is.

you are really generous oO

 

[Salazar]

you are really generous oO

Or I have a perversely generous conception of what constitutes a "good Steam game".

Spoiler

I don't.

 

[DualShadow]

The demo froze everytime I tried to use my 360 controller, is this an issue with the full release?

I've had zero controller issues.

*sigh* Oh well. To Level 41 it is then.

 

[Hasemo]

Still waiting for my key, damn. Too bad it will be offline mode until thursday, but I'll have to cope with it.

 

[derFeef]

Melta Gun = :-o

 

[Narag]

Isn't it though? It saved my ass when I had to make breathing room and fast.

 

[Salazar]

Melta Gun = :-o

Elaborate. Evidently, it fucks orks up.

 

[Sinatar]

Elaborate. Evidently, it fucks orks up.

It's like a fiery plasma shotgun of death.

Man they gave me the Thunder Hammer and it was god damned amazing. Just absolutely wrecks shop, then they bloody take it away and not only do they take it away but they don't give you your power axe back, oh no, it's chainsword time again.

Bastiches.

 

[Kintaro]

Holy shit, this game is smooth as FUCK!

Awesome. I prefer the chainsword to the power axe - but then again, that was in the demo, and I expect the melee to be a little more demanding in the full game.

Is it the same giveth and taketh thing with the guns ? Seems like you should just upgrade to the beefier stuff - because who the hell prefers a bolter pistol to a melta ?

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

¨Multiplayer please be good. please be good. please be good.


Im so sick of tagged on multiplayer modes. I dont mind team deathmatch simple games. they just need to have good flow.

Lol?

Seriously... lol?

No they've left the guns be. The melta is great but it's very short range and has low ammo so you can't exactly rock it all the time. It also seems that each gun is assigned to a specific slot so you can't replace whatever gun slot with what you find, like the Melta has to go in slot 3 and replace the Stalker Bolter. The Lascannon also goes in slot 3 replacing either of those.

That being said, the Lascannon is by far the best gun I've found so far, it's incredibly powerful.

 

[NIN90]

MP is really fun.

 

[Q8D3vil]

Lol?

Seriously... lol?

i kinda agree with him sp wise.
gears shine in the mp though (gow 1 of course gow 2 is a pile of shit).

 

[Glass Rebel]

Reached Level 4 in MP and spent some time with the customizer. It's nice I guess but I prefer my Space Wolves pre-order skin. Playing with a controller on PC is not enjoyable at all in MP.

Now waiting for that Relic guy to answer about the co-op. Also, fuck Yoshinori Ono. I don't know why I followed him on twitter.
