G’day guys, I review movies, shows and games with a sprinkle of salty criticism.
I may be a brainless lump floating aimlessly on the internet current but evidently that qualifies me to talk smack about anything I see. Stay in my sheltered harbor a while and listen, perhaps you too have some brainless wisdom to share. 🐙

Space Marine 2 - An unsalted Appreciation
Is Space Marine 2 any good?
No - it is exceptional. An elegant shooter for a more civilized age. Space Marine 2 feels like a throw back to a time where video games were designed for their target audience, rather than trying to appeal to a broad an undefinable generalist demographic.
So join me, a 40K rookie, as I take my first tentative steps into the Grim-Dark Universe.

Halo Reach - An unsalted Remembrance
Переглядів 5 тис.Місяць тому
Halo Reach released on 14 September 2010 - and to this day no sequel has come close to improving upon its Campaign, Multiplayer, Firefight, Forge or other extras. Why is Halo Reach so good? Why is Halo Reach in the Master Chief collection? There's a good answer for Bungie's prequel. So join me on a pleasant dive down to the depths of nostalgia as I un-cork an unsalted love letter to Halo Reach,...

How to lose your fans - Henry Cavill vs. Pablo Schreiber
Переглядів 9 тис.3 місяці тому
G'day - shock horror, I'm comparing two things I love: Halo and Henry Cavill (I make no apologies). Paramount's Halo series and Netflix's the Witcher both deviated from the source material, but one lead actor stood firm for the canon in spite of that. Let's compare Pablo Schreiber's Master Chief and Henry Cavill's Witcher to see how it is possible to play a lore faithful character, in a non-fai...

My reaction to Mario Party 1 & 2 Coming to Switch
I liked mandon and grogu or andor or bad batch
Because it sucks. That's why.
Chicks
Lame
Geigh
Because they put a chick in it and made it gay and lame.
Hey are you going to cover the lord of the rings anime?
My unskippable ad for this was for Amazon Prime Video
The salty, salty irony.
I never liked Palpatine returning in the EU, but it was also relatively easy to ignore. I also didn't like the Yuzhan Vong - not because NJO was poor quality, it varied, but was overall pretty competent. The problem was it didn't fit with the story and universe of Star Wars. That said, the EU in general felt far truer to the Original Trilogy. From Timothy Zahn to Kevin J Anderson to Michael A Stackpole, the authors felt like fans.
Ehhh the Carano conspiracy seems like a sttttrrrrrrretch. Regardless of your opinion on her tweets they were controversial. Disney and 9/10 corporations want to distance themselves from any controversy as possible. That seems like more of a reason for her being canned, not some weird internal unsubstantiated backbiting
Disney now refeclets the a moral future we live in here villans see cekebrated and heroes are condemned . It a disgusting.
which book should i read first?
Following many recommendations, I started with Horrus Rising.
I am really glad how they added humor back into start wars, never laughed so hard during "the power or many!" scene, so dog shit its funny!
holy hell leslye is so transparently thirsty for amandla it's a little uncomfortable to watch
this is so on point. "dr evil meme villain" is the perfect description of ahsoka's thrawn. filoni's on that jj abrams career track where each project is somehow worse than the last, so safe to say I'm not hype for whatever they let him crayon next
91 trillion? On a single planet? Demetrius is the tomb world yeah? So that must almost all be shipped in from battlefields over the millennia
There have been a few bangers from Disney Star Wars. Rogue one and the andor companion piece is some of the best Star Wars I’ve ever seen. But they fucked up the skywalker saga so much that it seems unforgivable. Mando 1 was amazing too but they even fucked up that series by the end of season 3
I-in the biningging, yeah
Depending on if ALL named character models are eligible for Deathwatch, I'd put "Thief of Secrets" on Adrax Agatone. Bringing him up to something that can feasibly 1v1 a Knight in melee and win? Yes please! Goes from 5 attacks with 2+, ST 10, AP2, Damage 3 to a disgusting 5 attacks at 2+, ST12, AP4, Damage 5.
Corruption inbound
Not only is it a reference to Tzeentch, but also likely a reference to Portal 2, in which the robot announcer states “you have been in suspension for nine…nine..nine… nine…nine…nine…”
Its being updated all the time btw...
Damnit Tzeentch
STOP FUCKING WOTH THE RADIO
This entire genre is extremely overrated.. I love deep lore. So I just assumed Warhammer would draw me into the world but honestly i find it extremely derivative and generic. I know mosts' knee jerk reaction is to get defensive but look inward and tell me this actually a good story and not just a bunch of cool artwork smashed together with story as an afterthought. Its all rule of cool all the way. Theres 0 thoughtfulness. Its like nerdyness without structure. Idk how to describe it. Its just not that cool or well thought out of a universe. I love all the top downs but the shooter games suck..(and usually I dont even like most other top down games) when they have to rely on in world narratives instead of straight up all out war it immediately starts to loose me. Space Marine 2 is deff a gamepass game especially with that combat. Im sorry tried it. Combat feels amazing for about an hour and then after that its a goddamn chore of press the same combination of buttons over and over till you want to puke. Cool visuals and sound design, yet its another game that intentionally slows your character to make up for subpar performance. The story is forgettable like basically all Warhammer lore.. And the characters feel like generic video game allies and fight like them too.. these big badass Space Marines get chewed up constantly and for some reason your one dude is worth like 10,000 of these other with all the same gear. They make every other space marine look like a bitch. Ehh it just feels like some chubby socially retarded neckbearded guy's version of manliness. I like that it pushes back against panty waisted creeps who think mindless pandering will help them loose their virginities but thats just not enough for me by itself and it shouldn't be for other imo.
Its saying "nine" because 9 is the sacred number of Tzeentch.
Even better, it is a multilayered joke.
Figured it was the integer limit. Like a 4 digit counter hitting 9999 and can't go higher. So it's glitching cause people keep dying too fast to keep up
@@theeyeofmango the first number was 91 trillion.. maybe there was some shitstorm with a giga nuke that at that moment killed over 9 trillion people and thus broke the counter by overcoming its 99 trillion limit mark?
I hated what he did with Maul without Georges input....Ahsoka would get creamed by Maul. Not to mention his death in rebels sucks, people defend it and go into 'its the move he killed qui gon with' and 'its samurai' but it just sucks. Filoni doing that took away the chance for Kenobi to actually be good!
hello brother and be welcome. we fight!
to be fair to other reviewers (through gritted teeth and a hard grip on my boltgun) they dont have time to go away and study lore, hence why they didnt get it, not being the target audience.
Welcome to Warhammer Neophyte. Your start to becomming a Angel of Death has begun. As a chapter we shall show you no mercy, for the weak have no place amongst our ranks. You will only be given what you have earned and we deem you worthy off. You will have nothing but your duty to The Emperor, Primarch and Chapter. Your trials will be harrowing, We will flay your spirit with pain to discover if you are tainted. You will be opened body and soul to our searches and to embrace the Primarchs gifts. After that. More pain, more trials, more study. Failure will not be tolerated, and rewarded with more pain, lessons and corrections. If you survive all these trails, you will be allowed the honour of combat, to match zeal and wrath with the enemies of the Imperium.if you did not heed our lessons, you will die. And we will not mourn you. You will die unforgotten. Pass the test of battle, and you will earn our respect with decades of service and the scars on your body. And only after those decades of death and war will your tests be over and shall we call you brother. And then your trials will truly begin. Ave Imperator. May he and the Primarch watch over you favourably, Neophyte.
It always makes me smile whenever a newcomer to the hobby becomes enthralled with it after being recommended by a friend! Welcome to Warhammer 40k brother! 🎉
I totally agree that the gameplay is at it's core simple, but simple and bad are not the same thing. Like a perfect cup of coffee in the morning this game is exactly what I was hoping for. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope we get more games that are fun and just make people happy. This feels like a game that was made by people who still love making games. (Edit) Man your insights into game design philosophy are great.
You have it backwards. Doom took the glorykills from space marine 1. Go play it.
40K lore has changed over time so I wouldn’t really say it’s Sacrosanct.
*Shoves daemonculaba lore in a level 5 vault* Nothing to see here newbies, move along move along
I have to say this is one of my absolute favorites of yours. As a huge 40k nerd, you taking the time to go into the lore so you can see why we appreciate it so much was awesome. Also speaking of the throw backs, my friends and I saw the Guardsmen as Halo Marines and tried to keep as many alive at all times as we could. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is 40k!
I’ve been in the 40K hobby for over 25 years and as an American, it’s been rough with how few people knew of 40K in the early days. What space marine 2 has done for introducing the wider audiences to the 40K universe; is something I’ve desperately wanted since I was ten years old. You’re second analysis and the other UA-camrs who have covered it, prove that the game did exactly what it set out to do; bring more people into the 40K setting. Enjoy the grimdark friend!
15:05 I was indeed, crying.
Winning.
I regret to inform you that GW is on the same corporate slop train as Star Wars, Halo, etc… they are simply a bit further back from the cliff.
The Emperor's protection extends to all jellyfish
6:14 lol :):)
I played Space Marine 2 with a friend in coop. My own impression was the campaign was nice, but it really clicked for me in the operations game mode (maybe because im not a good FPS player ) . In the campaign , the weapons kept changing, you were being forced into a gamestyle, you had forced weapons in boss fights everything seemed a bit random and haphazard, I didnt really feel the combat and how my skill affected it. Ofc the campaing had the additional benefit of great lore and storyline. The gameplay for me clicked when we started doing operations, and i could focus on one game style, that i liked, and see myself improving, and also progress perk wise. I can honestly say now, the camp[aing was fun, but i have more fun in operations mode, and its what elevated Space Marine 2 for me from good to very good.
I see you got started on book one of the HH….out of almost 100. Good luck
I’ve been digging this game hard despite not having any context to the WarHammer world. I just love a good power fantasy. I personally don’t care for deep dramatic stories in games (I got movies for that) and I also don’t care for the Souls-like genre that’s taken off either, seems like they’re meant to treat players like a nobody in the world (I’m a nobody IRL already lol). I would never take those away from people of course, just not my taste and doesn’t mean others can’t. All the being said, I grew up playing Streets of Rage, Mario, Halo etc. I like being the big cheese that walks into a room, f’ks sh’t up and struts on the way out. Space Marine 2 fulfills my wants very nicely and coop’s been super fun with my bros.
50:00 Small thing, the Bad Batch only reused the scraped animation of the Boba Fett vs Cad Bane fight to save money but the stories were completely different
excellent video
You are too kind.
8:49 “should you choose” sounded like a transformer
Warhammer 40,000 is based in some leftist ideology back in the 80s but has evolved over time become more centric. So it’s shocking that Space Marine, with some of the most worrying writers, it’s amazing that it didn’t devolve into what most modern games have in the writing department. And yes. The game doesn’t do anything new, it is as if someone opened a time capsule. But that’s something we need. We need games to remember they’re not soap boxes. Games that remember you need to be fun. You need to have a solid core.
You are right. Most don’t know what it was previously. I enjoy seeing newer fans taking 40k seriously instead of seeing it as an evolution of a deep satire from back in the day.
