Aliens Fireteam Elite, made by the same developer I believe and is pretty much the same game just in a different universe is 4 chapters 3 missions each so 12 missions. Only pve multiplayer and I have 24 hours in so far and just recently beat the campaign. I barely just scratched the surface when it comes to completing everything and leveling up all my stuff. I imagine this is going to be very very similar and I love it

[@ashmac4732]

It’s not. Ridiculous asking price for such ‘foundational’ content as the reviewer himself says.. And yes, like the other 40ks, it’s an amazing, high quality experience.. for a couple of sessions, until you’ve played all the missions and know every twist and turn, every wave and encounter and what to expect.. and you just naturally drop off, craving variety elsewhere.

I really want this game to bring back the trend of GOOD single player games coming with a multi-player that they can do whatever they want with without being a 100% game as a service

[@thepaganpirate3528]

Hey, so huge 40K fan, I actually play the table top as the Black Templar. I use their rules rather and I made up my own lore for my army that I named “The Rising Sons” But to really get into it my go to start is if you like to read, read the Eisenhorne omnibus it’s the three stories combined. It’s more of a detective story since he’s an Inquisitor. But it gives you a great overview of the world. Space Marine stories are so much fun though, but to get into the world start with Eisenhorn that’s a great way to get what the world is like for Mankind, from there you can read some Guard novels, Rouge Trader stuff Sisters of Battle too! THEN get into the Space Marines. I’d also recommend reading some of the different chapters of marines so like Ultramarines, Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Black Templar, Imperial Fists. Each chapter has their own unique ways of fighting so that will also help out a lot in just seeing how expansive the world is. May even give you ideas on what you want your armor to look like in multiplayer 😊 If you’re still hooked then! Start reading the like 54 book series “The Horus Heresy” it’s basically like the prequel Star Wars of 40K it’s HOW everything became what it became. It’s when the Emperor was doing things more, when he was talking to his sons, making laws and such. But those tales take on more so the Space Marine being the main story characters. So to get an idea of the world better to start at the low level, work your way up to space marines then read the time of legend so to speak.

The Dawn of War series (the first one...) helped me out a lot, but left a lot of open questions. Honestly if you're curious, just get on the wiki pages. Just don't go down the rabbit holes...You'll get lost in the Eye of Terror! The lore is larger than the BattleTech universe (Mechwarrior).

Here's a REAL Before You Buy tip: UNLESS YOU ARE AN ALWAYS ONLINE MULTIPLAYER GAMER, this game is functionally useless to you after the 8 hour campaign is over. The meat and potatoes of this game is called Operations, which has a bunch of grinding and class unlocks, and it DOES NOT SAVE PROGRESS if offline. Even if you spend a week grinding and then you GO online, you will lose all of your progress. This game is a Rent at best, and it boggles my mind that everyone is dick riding it so hard.

You do seem a bit bitter to the game, however your opinion is condsidered, and appreciated from a fella who doesn't much play online

[@8bitrandomencounter]

My advice for getting into Warhammer is simple: get some miniatures you think are cool, look up some painting tutorials, and listen to an audiobook while you play. You can also get the Dawn of War games if you want a rundown of what the factions are about. Personally I think that the best factions to get into for painting are Chaos Space Marines and the various Xenos (Especially Tau)! There are some great sets to get started with like the combat patrols, and, if you decide to go with Chaos Space Marines, I suggest watching a bunch of lore videos about the various Chaos gods and the characters/units associated with them.

If you wanna try 40k there's a sort of mini game version of it called combat patrol.

Couldn't recommend it enough, it would defo be where i would point any potential new players to look at. Play on tabletop do some great gameplay videos of the combat patrol system on youtube as well if you want to see how it plays in action before you sink any cash into it!

How is that even remotely "predatory"? If you wanna pay a little extra you get a season pass and you get to play 4 days early. If you had already planned on getting the season pass then you're saving a few bucks on top. Nobody is forcing you to spend the extra money. This isn't new and it isn't "predatory". Grown adults can choose for themselves if they wanna buy the other editions. And it's $30 more for gold which has the early access, not $40. Again, that's the usual price for season passes.
