So I played WARHAMMER 40K: SPACE MARINES 1 For The First Time...

[@statesminds]

It’s really a shame this game isnt backwards compatible on xbox or getting remastered before the sequel. I get has different publisher but wish they’d find a way especially since story is related

[@matthewbarrios1028]

The special edition is on steam.

[@micho_3715]

It got remastered for PC not too long ago. It runs buttery smooth on my base model surface pro 8 and it's by no means a gaming PC.

[@James-u1y]

Get a key for it, the publisher raised the price before 2 came out.

[@jeredphillips3424]

Runs amazingly on steam deck

[@Ty-er5ok]

you can still buy it on the PlayStation store on my old PS3. I just did and it plays fine. Didn't try it on my Xbox 360, but suspect the same.

[@DeepestDankest]

Religion is a HUGE part of 40k's universe. Common soldiers refer to space marines as demigods because space marines undertake a series of surgeries to receive new organs to elevate their physicality to be super soldiers. An extra heart, an organ to promote stronger bones, extra glands to promote muscle mass, enhanced healing, extra sets of lungs, etc. Then to top it off they receive something called a progenoid gland that carries the genes of their legion's Primarch, essentially genetically engineered clone sons of the primary god-like figure humanity in this setting worships. Space marines are like 3 pegs down from perceived "demigod-hood", so they are both physically and "spiritually" closer to demigods than normal human beings. Also, I'll always recommend Dawn of War to get into more warhammer games, especially for getting a taste of the other factions in the universe.

Better Help spotted

[@Anadarksoul1701]

as a hardcore warhammer fan, it is deeply interesting and fun listening you explain the plot to Space Marine Matty. Glad you are liking idea of the universe and hope you can explore it more on your own time.

[@josuecervantes1757]

Currently playing through this on my 360 for the first time before I get space marine 2. So far 10/10. Pure FUN. Absolutely action packed with a solid challenge.

[@MatthewBrannickWilliam]

Matty just refuses to call these games by their proper, singular title: "Space Marine". And I'm totally onboard with it

[@alexporto5669]

Lol, I hope Matty continues calling these Space Marines, it's pretty funny

[@CJP.-pq3kr]

Statements like this are so played out at this point. “Blah blah blah… and I’m here for it / all for it / onboard with it”. Robotic NPC dialogue.

[@MatthewBrannickWilliam]

@@CJP.-pq3kr was just trying not to be a dick about pointing out such an unimportant detail and have a little fun guy. Have a blessed day

[@bannankev]

I really want to see a part 3 🤣 the nerds just RAGING 🤣

[@micho_3715]

It's a meme ar this point to tick us off lol

[@andrewhewitt275]

I remember thinking this was a Gears of War knockoff when I first started it but by the end I loved it.

[@JustFeral]

The irony is that Warhammer 40k is one of Cliffy B's inspirations for making Gears of War.

[@almac5446]

I mean it is a knockoff of gears of war and God of war but with a space Marine

[@megacitymedia2047]

I'm so glad this game is finding a new audience and is getting the recognition it deserves after all this time. One of my favourite games ever.

[@TheMiddleMan890]

at this point i’m convinced matty lives in a parallel universe where this game is actually called Space Marines and not Space Marine

Dont take Better Help as a sponsor, they sell all your personal data online. Better help is a tech company, not a psychologist company.

[@James-u1y]

Everyone watch out, the publisher raised the price of the first game before 2 released, it was always under $20 previously now it’s full $60.

[@_Skankhunt42__]

i got it for free yesterday

[@James-u1y]

@@_Skankhunt42__ how? It’s been $60 for the past month and a half. PS+?

[@James-u1y]

@@Jamie-1428 oh, well that’s understandable, a publisher tripling the price of a very old game is always shitty to me, does Relic Entertainment even see that money these days?

[@James-u1y]

@GuILty718 I’m not talking about physical copies, thought that was fairly obvious considering physical media is less used these days.

[@James-u1y]

@GuILty718 All good, I’ve just never heard of any publisher changing the price of physical copies of super old games retroactively. We see it occasionally digitally though when they think it’s beneficial monetarily. Glad you were able to get it closer to its original price though.

[@jasonprendergast7493]

Got it on. GOG for £8 on sale (still £40 on Steam). Got it as I LOVED Space Marine 2. On 4K with reshade mods etc this game looks pretty decent too. Been really enjoyable thus far.

[@rump438]

Matty, I can sense you beginning your descent into the 40k fandom If you do audio books, please start with the Horus Heresy. They're incredible.

[@matthewbarrios1028]

I loved this game back in the day. Back in like 2012 Gamestop was selling XB 360s for like 50 bucks. I got a slim model and bought 5 or 6 cheap games. I got this game COMPLETE for $6 in good condition. XB 360 titles have skyrocketed physically lately. I am so happy i picked up a ton of 360 games when I did. I also have the Steam Edition and it is actually better than the 360 version. But im never getting rid of my physical copy. It also lives digitally on my modded XB 360.

[@DoubleTGameHustle]

Never played this one back in the day, may have to pick it up! Big gears fan

[@NinjakX]

Loved every minute of that first game

[@EEgggii]

You should really play the Metro trilogy!

[@Frank-x1g]

I have played 2033. Liked it. Is 2 good?

[@EEgggii]

@@Frank-x1g yeah, imo even better. Exodus is also a really good Game, but doesnt Play in the Metro that much

[@FasterthanLight11]

yeah so, Titus's story is basically put on pause. What happens between games is he is put in stasis and interogated occasionally. The inquisitor who took him turns out to be a heretic. So he is released but he cant return to the Ultramarines cause he is considered warp touched. So he joins the Deathwatch, who guard specifically against Xenos, and he chose to "wear the black" as in he doesnt wear his chapter colors while serving. He serves there for 200 years until the Primaris Founding, gets the upgrade and is tenatively allowed back after the Ultramarines found out he was still alive. Then Space Marine 2 opens to him, demoted but back with the Ultramarines 200 years later. The Boltgun game takes place right after Space Marine 1 and you as another Ultramarine, recover a shard of the power stone that the bad guy in that game used to open a portal to the Warp for some purpose.

[@calelsun]

I saw the title after seeing his other video and immediately knew I'd see a comment up top about the Marine(s) outrage lmao and then I'm sure they'll be even more outraged that he got the title wrong AND put artwork up of him in their armor on the thumbnail.

[@ConspiracyOpossum]

I really liked the last boss fight fighting as falling from a space elevator was awesome

[@gothichellokitty]

awesome thumbnails!!

[@ChrisBrown-zn1my]

This game is like gears of war on the next level

[@Elayzee]

Looks like somebody has finally been bitten by the Warhammer 40k bug! Welcome! There's no shortage of material to explore!

[@alan71102]

Matty let's fight on this, the game need a remastered.

[@carlosmeza2294]

I bought on GOG recently and it has major audio stutter. I'm bummed. Might have to get a 360 just to play this. Unfortunately not backwards compatible.

[@FlynnTaggartGuy]

It doesn’t have any audio issues on steam, from the 3 playthroughs I have done.

[@joshsmith6995]

I think I had an xbox magazine from gamestop that came with a demo disc of this game, I played it a few times and never understood what was going on.

[@Lycan3303]

Runs great on Steam Deck OLED

[@wellyboot]

Pretty sure Gears of War was Microsoft basically refusing to pay for a Games Workshop license. The series takes heavy influence from 40K.

[@Foxtrop13]

isnt.. gears of war inspired by warhammer??

[@thejeremymotley]

he was talking about the gameplay, Gears of War was 2006 Space Marine was 2011

Am i the only person who realizes that the second game that just released is literally just the transformers cybertron games except it isn’t actually with the transformer characters? - Everything in the game is literally identical to the transformer games, the combat, the character walking, the guns are literally the exact same and the designs, as well as the shooting
