Space Marine

HNNNNNNNNGH I want to play WH40K Space Marine, but I don't get paid until the end of the week. ;_;

Anyone played it, or the demo? Thoughts?

I want it. ;____;

I've played the demo and I got to preview the multiplayer. I see a lot of comparisons to Gears of War but those comparisons are stupid and ugly and their mothers don't love them. Space Marine has jetpacks, no cover, has its melee as something you use against some semi-respectable numbers, lets you heal yourself by performing finishers on enemies, has more colorful visuals, etc.

Multiplayer breaks things up into three classes, which you'll have to forgive me for forgetting the names of. One has the jump pack and is melee focused with a light ranged weapon. Another is balanced between melee and ranged, and yet another is totally ranged focused. As you play you unlock different weapons and perks and stuff. It's fun. The multiplayer mode types are generic as hell, but the multiplayer itself feels unique enough that it doesn't matter.

I really can't wait to get a copy.

Still waiting for that Imperial Guard game.

Yeah played the demo, can't wait to play it. Assault marines I can forsee as being quite overpowered in multiplayer though, you get so much speed and mobility that you're probably gona be slamming into other classes before they know what's happening.

i got the feeling that if i played the demo 5 times, it'd be the same as the full game. still might rent it

I just don't know if I'll be able to get my EMPRAH on proper without some Chaos heretics to purge.

You can purge Chaos heretics in the multiplayer!

I misread this game as Space Submarine.

I'm disappointed now.

How would that be functionally different than a normal space ship?

Also, I've decided to pick this up after class. Might have to wait to buy groceries this week. :I

I'm going to assume that typo is because of auto-correct on a cell phone. It had me going for a loop there, though.

ANYWAY, the major difference between a space ship and a space submarine would probably be that there's no marine to go sub on in space. :P (as in, no water to go under. Not... what I just thought of.)

YEAH.
