Warhammer 40,000: SPACE MARINE 2 by Saber Interactive - Titus takes on the Tyranids

I'm trying to make sense of the setup. He's playing on PC, but his rig is pointed inwards into the room. The swivel on the standard suggests you can turn the screen to the other side, which is unusual but not impossible. The room itself has what looks like a single bed in the middle of the room, which has a strange arrangement of pillows on it as well as what might be an animal in a strange position. Behind it is what I think is a smaller couch, which is a lot more narrow than the bed in front of it. You can see something poking out over the white pillows, which suggests that the nightstand is a lot wider than it looks. To the left there's also a couch hidden in the corner of the room, and to the right of the bed there's something on the floor as well. The book on the desk is the second in the Forge World Horus Heresy books, which details the Drop Site Massacre. This is an event that neither the Ultramarines nor the Thousand Sons were present during.

It just all feels so... off.

Basically looks like a live-service game.

The Free updates are basically missing content from the base game.

"Early Access" without outright calling it such.

Nigga has french pigdog lol

My pad is better.

My pad is better.

Nigga we seen your pad. Only reason it isn't given an F by the Health department is because it's a health hazard to get near it.

Imagine hearing a ruckus in your living room, and when you go to check it out you see Henry Cavill at your gaming rig. He jumps when he sees he's been spotted and scurries out of the window on all fours, fleeing into the night.

 

[Fargus]

Nah, it's his dog chilling on the bed

Whether or not he actually played this game or asked one of his house slaves to score in it is a mystery

 

[randir14]

Whether or not he actually played this game or asked one of his house slaves to score in it is a mystery

Why would he lie about playing it? He's mentioned being a PC gamer and even made a video where he built his own PC.

If Henry enjoys it for real good for him. For me its kinda hard to picture him wasting time on vidya and it looks more like he is baiting nerds and normie gamers to be more relatable (lol). Don't care that much either way. I like the guy.

Photo weirdness by order of increasing priority:

1. Setup looks funky and not something somebody with uberwealth would have as their main rig.

2. Same applies to the room. It looks like an air bnb. Which might explain some of this.

3. There's not a literal harem of the world's sexiest women in the room.

If I had Henry Cavil money, not to mention his looks, I would have mega STDs. If he even spends 1 hr a week gaming, he's a true gamer.

'cause I wouldn't, fr fr. For modern gaming? lol

Dude was a fatass nerd, guess some things he can't let go.

I dunno, people have hobbies. It's why Vin Diesel started a gaming company that as far as I know, went nowhere and imploded, and Curt Schilling bankrupted himself and a local government trying to make a WoW competitor.

The difference between us and them is that if they go down the rabbit hole far enough, it gets WAY more expensive.

 

[blessed king of longing]

stand back, the latest plasma pwnage just dropped

 

[Caim]

If you can trick shot people with plasma guns, can you also use them to rocket/plasma jump?

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

Is the pvp pretty dope in this? I considered renewing my ps+ membership for it. I'm not interested in bro-op, only pvp.

This game had some cringe shit in it, but it’s fine for the most part. In the xbox 360 era, this would be your typical shitty cinematic action game that everyone would roll their eyes over. Unfortunately, this is actually above average now.

In typical corpo fashion, they made each main character a different colour, except they are all, in truth, white guys. Why bother making a black and an Asian dude when they’re completely indistinguishable in every way except their faces from a white? It’s fake diversity which is even more loathsome than the regular kind. I want my black guy to be jive talking and I want my Asian guy to be dropping some ancient wisdom with the classic accent. The game has a general problem where the voices do not match the characters at all. I found it very jarring. Then there’s the woman commander lady that looks like an old Russian granny took hgh and got beat with an ugly stick. Sigh.

There is no grit to the characters at all and there is a general plastic, cartoonish feel to the graphics which I find displeasing. Especially the faces. Actually, reminds me of the warhammer toys that you glue together and paint but just because it’s based on toys doesn’t mean everyone in the video game has to look like toys. The main villain is strikingly goofy looking and impossible to take seriously. Later in the game, we enter the realm of purple and cyan particle effects. Typical of modern games, the too colourful, too bright, overdone magical spell graphics combined with overly smooth textures make the game have a childish atmosphere that I hate with all my heart. Especially the fucking PURPLE. I have had enough purple in video games now to last 100 lifetimes. I wish I could jab something into my eyes that would remove my ability to perceive purple.

I don’t pretend to understand what was going on in the story. The meatheads say a bunch of soldier brotherhood stuff and go around blowing up aliens. I wonder what these guys are even fighting for, haven’t seen a single nice place to live where you could go settle down and raise your family. Just let the insects have this shitty galaxy imo. Anyways, the bros have a little conflict sometimes but come together in the end to take down the retarded looking villain and learn a valuable lesson about being a good bro. Then the game invites you to go do all these online modes! Wow, exactly like the xbox 360 days, a 6 hour campaign with tacked on multiplayer to extend the playtime! No thank you.

Other than that, the game is ok except the loading times are egregious. Reminds me of playing Rune: Viking Warlord on ps2

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

They are fighting for the emperor you tard. This game is about letting your balls hang down while you kill shit. Splattering brains and balls slappin thighs. It's even more manly than og Gears.

 

[jaekl]

stop making it sound gay plz i dont want to be associated with a gay product

Wait until he learns that Astartes have no balls.

The faces are actually a running joke in Warhammer 40k, because they are modelled after white faces, and that is why the Salamanders are described as being black-skinned due to a peculiarity of the Primarch and an adaptation to their home planet, but not black as in race. The woman commander looked to me like a middle-aged street-shitter. It's a shame we didn't get a good looking one like in the first game.

Captain Acheran's face is modelled after the Captain in Phobos Armour miniature (look it up), and I'm pretty sure there are more. The colorful aspect is there because it's a realistic take on what the tabletop game looks like. Also, if you go outside you'll notice that the world is full of colour. Nobody wants to play some desaturated colour shit that looks like you left it in the tailpipe of a running truck and then you shoved it up the ass and shat it out, or like a chain-smoker's apartment. The brown and grey palette from 20 years ago was there to conceal technical shortcomings of graphics (mostly consoles') hardware, or because some Steven Spielberg cargo cultism. The purple and cyan chaos shit is lore accurate, I don't get WTF are you complaining about. It looks like you were expecting Gears of War or another generic brown game, but that's not what this is.

I don’t pretend to understand what was going on in the story. The meatheads say a bunch of soldier brotherhood stuff and go around blowing up aliens. I wonder what these guys are even fighting for, haven’t seen a single nice place to live where you could go settle down and raise your family. Just let the insects have this shitty galaxy imo.

Man, it's Warhammer 40k, not some gay shit. The Space Marines are essentially superhuman warrior monks, they aren't going to raise a family. The aliens are out there to eat you and the whole planet, you aren't going to give them an inch. The people who raise families live huddled together in megastructures and eat recycled dead people for lunch. It's like playing a LotR game and not understanding why they don't give the shitty ring to the gentlemen in black and go back home and raise a family. Purge and cleanse, motherfucker.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

So chaos marines are basically the far left of the Warhammer 40k universe. They're the dick smoking mentally ill hippy bastards who whine on twitter and retardera, etc. Do I have that right?
