We just have to pray that it doens't go like everything else 40k related lately and it's actually good. The trailer seems good but it lacks some weight in my opinion compared to how the first game was presented. Although, it's interesting how Titus had a inquisitorial roseta now, so he didn't just proved Leandros wrong but he got the inquisition seal of approval. Also, the red helmet marine at his side in the trailer, since red helmets are a sign of repreention on the ultrasmurfs it made think it could be Leandros. As i said, i hope it's good and there's potential for it but God how the opposite is also true.

It shows his respect for the role of the IG. They are territory occupiers and line holders. They aren't expected to conquer, or go on massive offensives, but to fortify and buy as much time as their lives and materials can give until reinforcements arrive. The fact that they withstood such a huge ork incursion, held the factory and did their duty impressed the captain, and he gives respect where respect is due.

This was actually my introduction to 40k, and it did do a reasonable job making me want to find out more about the universe. And now that I've developed a love for the adeptus mechanicus, I have to wonder: Where were THEY during the events of this game? Graian warriors are, according to the adeptus mechanicus codex, absurdly tenacious and refuse to give ground, so why aren't there hordes of skitarii infantry, sicarians (which are really, really good at turning orks into mulch) and even tech-priests on the front lines backing up the guardsmen with their big scary guns?

2:00 If I had a nickle every time Mandalore compared something in the 40k universe to Rhode Island, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a whole lot but it's weird that it happened twice

I always saw Space Marine as a good game, but also a prototype for a really great game. The core gameplay and combat feel is very good, with fluid switching from ranged to melee and nice jetpack bits. Now if the sequel had more a more engaging story and more interesting characters, as well as additional enemy variety (we got lots of factions to brutalize), it could be quite amazing.

[@smiley280]

And lo and behold, in space marine 2 there is a part where you fight Tyranids in a jungle setting! Emperor be praised!

It’s a very ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ experience for people who’ve never been involved in 40K. A friend of mine played this having somehow never been around Games Workshop and thought “looks like they didn’t have time to finish the story and lore.” But he had a good time.

[@thomasrevill7723]

This game, along with Assault On Black Reach for the tabletop, introduced me properly to 40k, and in all honesty I think the lack of exposition or a dive into the lore made the game more fun, it felt like everything was new and exciting and seeing a space marine plough into a horde of orks without a big preamble as to WHY he's doing it made it all the more awesome (it also may be why I'm still an unapologetic Space Marines fanboy to this day). The limited number of factions present also helped streamline the story and makes it all the more impactful when you realise this epic, world ending conflict you're fighting in is just one tiny episode in a galaxy full of war, and makes the lore that is present more digestible (also on the subject of Chaos you really don't need to know the exact intricacies of their backstory to figure out "evil space magic"). Needless to say, I agree 100% that the scale of this game is incredible and is probably still one of my favourite things about the batshit insanity of the 40k universe.

Assault on Blackreach was such a great box set. Another kid bought the same box at my local GW and I traded my orks for his Space Marines!
