    Never understood why anyone would want to watch these pre-release walkthrough videos. Sort of defeats the object of playing the game yourself.

    Press the start button already!

    Lef-ten-ent is how the British pronounce Lieutenant.

    Ok Tom, we get you really like Gears and you prefer it to this. Stop going on about it! ;)

    That aside I think it's a good accompaniment to the written review, it gives context to a lot of the points you made.

  • syra #5 9 months ago

    didn't you just TRASH this game. Don't add insult to injury!

    ps.. no variation? Didn't you hear, in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium THERE IS ONLY WAR!
    The game even reminds you at the start.

    Do like these video walkthroughs. Commentary always funny. +1

  • NunianVonFuch #7 9 months ago

    This really communicates the quality of the trimmings quite well. Looks like one for the post-xmas sales.

  • RoOhDaMite #8 9 months ago

    Yeah right! Talk yourself out of this being awesome!

    If the first 30min are any representative of what's to come I can easily see myself enjoying this game for 7 more hours.
    And he didn't even get to use the Jet-pack, which adds another layer to the combat.

    I like what I've seen here. There really is nothing fundamentally wrong with the combat. At least I couldn't spot any of said "broken gamemechanics" whatsoever.

    "Lef-tenant" Tom. You corrected it in the review, remember?

  • mukki #10 9 months ago

    amusing voice over!

    liked it more of the same please!

  • Amblin #11 9 months ago

    The health replenish issue is a pain in the ass.

    Even more annoying is that the key diff between marines and orks is orks zerg and marines think. i.e. taunt and use the enemies weakness against them.

    Relic goofed this one. will wait for sale.

  • syra #12 9 months ago

    Lolling @ everyone who thinks the lack of hp regen is hard.... L2FP

    Charging in and slaughtering and executing is glorious

  • andy10 #13 9 months ago

    Really enjoying these walkthroughs - very amusing. Any chance of doing one for Dead Island? Seems to be another game that some people are getting enjoyment out of, albeit with some strong caveats.

  • Grayvern #14 9 months ago

    As someone who has read some Imperial Armor 3 space marines cannot kill millions of orks in a single war they would however be deployed as disruption forces.

    Besides knowing that later on chaos forces show up if they are dispatched in any number over 10 it's not in fiction as Chaos space marines are more powerful than regular space marines.

    Finally as a guard commander I know that infiltrating space marines on an ork decimated forge world would need to exercise extreme caution as they would be facing countless looted Leman Russ each able to kill space marines with ease.

    @Grayvern : How is a standard Chaos marine more powerful than a space marine? The stats are the same last time I looked but normal marines have better rules about moral. That and he's a captain, so yes he is more than capable of taking out 10+ chaos marines. Maybe 5+ at a time with the right equipment.

    Thanks dragonlion, strangely I was getting negged for saying that lol

  • craziii #18 9 months ago

    this is a trash game. you do nothing but the health regen attack, you are forced to. if you don't, you will die horribly. when a gamer is force to do a move over and over again, the gameplay gets extremely monotonous, hence sleep inducing.

  • curryking3 #19 9 months ago

    Nice video, but I couldn't disagree more with the people speaking during the gameplay. The combination of having to shoot and the regenerating health system forcing you to play smart and aggressive at the same time is what I enjoyed about the demo so much and made me so interested in the game. Couldn't disagree more with the idea that 'deaths are the fault of the game, and not the player' here either. I think the argument in the review for the 5/10 score just flew over my head anyhow.

    I feel like the complaint I will have is that the gameplay will not change through the retail version. I would've wanted more enemies/bosses who demand different approaches to fighting as well as more environments in this game. Moving beyond the forge world into a few or several more environments would have been nice.

    These talkthroughs could turn out to be a good counterpoint to reviews that aren't necessarily interested in explaining exactly how a game works.

    Also, love what EG did for a closing title card.

    @craziii
    Crouching behind some cover every few seconds in order to regain health isn't repetitive then?

  • GuyNoir #22 9 months ago

    I love 40K, but this does seem to play like, (from watching the vid), Armed & Dangerous - but without a Land Shark gun. Shame :-(.

  • Laserbream #23 9 months ago

    Why were you using the health replenishing finisher even when your health was full up?
