The dislike bombing is real lol The main issue is that the current fanboys will not come back and say that they're sorry once they see that I'm right lol. You all just go watch your favorite paid shills, pay $100 for the game, and then complain that there are no good games getting released. I said that the game was not good, but not that bad either. But you perceive it as a negative review. You deserve IGN, and you deserve overpriced mediocre quality products. edit: after 10 days of being called a cuck, baldie, idiot, retard, fag and woke out of all things... For having an unbiased opinion that is unpopular, because I've played games for 30+ years and I've played games that are better than this one that got released 10+ years ago... I realized where this shit comes from, and now I know that the humanity is lost. You guys are completely lost, and you have to touch grass and stop slurping up what your influencers say, and maybe use your braincells for something else than being toxic on the internet. All I saw was an army of bots, and not free thinking people.
you had overblown expectations, and you were disappointed when you didn't get what you were expecting? news flash dude - that's only your problem. and you literally said that "it's not really a good game" right at the beginning. you can say whatever you want after, but no one is gonna care about it after hearing these words. dislike bombing is quite overstatement. you said something that people are disagreeing with - you get dislikes from these people. simply because the majority (127 likes and 133 dislikes at the moment) of people are having a different opinion than yours doesn't mean they are "dislike bombing" your video. ffs get real. this is not a game for you, simple as that. you shared your opinion on it, okay. refund it and move on. crying about "dislike bombing" is something that a little kid would do. disrespecting your audience is not cool. just sayin'
@@shadev574 did you not see half of the comments here? I'm disrespecting them? LOL. They're not my audience anyway. Wouldn't want to be affiliated with them ngl. You can't refund the game after 10 hours of gameplay. I didn't have overblown expectations, I wanted to play a good game. And it's not a good game. I'm obviously not the only one that said that. There are a bunch of small content creators saying the same thing. Yet the biggest ones are praising it. Why do you think that's happening?
Way to take criticism with stride dude... not. You opened with "this is going to be an unpopular opinion" then get booty tickled that, well, its an unpopular opinion? weird flex but okay.
Who tf expected this to be like Helldivers?? Man, you are clueless. If you actually saw any marketing material, gameplay, and other content creator playing the game before hand, you would have seen the type of game *everyone* expected to play. Shipped as advertised, and it's amazing. Nobody obligated or told you to buy the most expensive edition either.
Looks like he doesn't know anything about the Warhammer universe at all, ther are so many references and epic moments in this game! Looks like he pushed and finished the single player campaign fast and skip the cutscenes! He references overwatch as fun than this!!! You know his type now!
What you havent considered is that he is always right, and everyone else is always wrong. So if he wanted it to be like helldivers then it's wrong that it isn't. And everyone else is wrong for just wanting Space Marine 2. Instead of Helldivers 3. Which he thought this was, and thus is should have been.
He didn't bother to engage with the story and ignored the story because he "couldn't hear the dialogue" and he "doesn't f-ing care about the cutscenes" its downright ridiculous. There is no way to respond to someone who in bad faith chooses not to even entertain the idea of giving the game's story a chance. I wrote a lengthy post covering each of his points but he removed it. So the man is not only lying but can't handle criticism.
@@Verdiac97 Its bizzare to be honest, the fact that he mentions weapons and melee weapons but refused to show examples of why this is bad nor compares it with other games that offer something better. He just says it, dimisses it and moves on. This video just comes across as someone who paid 100 dollars and wished he paid less. All he had to do was buy the standard edition or if he has friends who bought the game, maybe ask to try it out via steam sharing. Very odd individual for sure.
@view9936 Yeah that's what I was thinking that he has extreme buyers remorse lol but I don't know what the man expected from a linear game. For being a linear game it nails just that, doesn't try be anything other than what it's really good at. He bought the game knowing this, then is acting like some wool as been pulled over his eyes before launch🤣 extremely petulant indeed.
Space Marine II is a big ol’ double cheeseburger. It’s not the fanciest thing on the menu, but it hits the spot when you’re starving. Not every game needs to be complicated, pretentious or overly artisitic or try to be revolutionary, sometimes straight forward story and solid gameplay is all that’s needed. This being a 40k game, they absolutely nailed the environments, characters and tone every step of the way. If you bought it early, *hoping* it would be solid, maybe that’s affected how you feel. Not saying that as a slam, just that expecting something of a game when you put more money into it can leave a bad taste. I didn’t pre-order for exactly this reason. I waited, I saw reviews that all generally lined up with what I was hoping for. I took the risk, had myself a big double cheeseburger of a game and am satisfied.
Im going to need you to point me to the solid gameplay part of Space Marine 2 because holding down Left click for 7 hours to kill "hordes" ( most of the time just waves of 10-20 enemies grouped together) is not even close to a solid gameplay. Not agreeing with the dude in the video, but the community loves to sell this game as an "old school shooter", but it has no characteristics of an old school game other than being linear. No variety or uniqueness to the weapons, no secret areas for a unique weapon or equipment, puzzles or unique maps, barely any variety in enemies, and bosses were pretty unremarkable as well.
@@nononame2033you sound pretty jaded to me or like you went into it determined to not like it. Or you might have had preconceptions about what you thought you’d find and those preconceptions weren’t met. I like this game specifically because of its simplicity (same reason I liked the first game). Too many games are trying to do too much and none of it particularly well. The story is straightforward and a good continuation of the first. The characters are exactly what I expect of Space Marines, Mechanicus and Guardsmen. The environments are the best interpretation of 40k I have ever seen and have a bunch of little snippets of daily life show a great attention to detail. The shooting mechanics are adequate. Weapon variety is somewhat lacking, but there are plenty of others to pick up along the way. The melee is adequate as well, if admittedly a bit awkward at first. If all you did was shoot the whole way through, then you ignored half the mechanics. It sounds to me like you played it on too low of a difficulty if you only ever had to rely on shooting. If you’re breezing through on the hardest difficulty (somehow without engaging in anything other than gunplay) and you say “the bosses are nothing special” then maybe you just spend too much time on video games (probably dark souls)? Then again, maybe this kind of game just isn’t your cup of tea? Don’t know. 2 million people within the first two weeks and solid scores from most sources says a lot of people don’t agree with your assessment. The way it seems to me, this game’s whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Individually, nothing it does is new or particularly refined, but how (and likely when) it combines them all clearly appeals to a lot of people.
It's just meh lad. No need to try and think of reasons he didn't like it or to try and make it out that it is actually good. The gameplay is boring, UnIntuitive, clunky muck. Melee based gears of war 2010 style game without the fun.
It's a %$#^ing trash heap... It certainly doesn't make you feel like a bad a$$ Space Marine... it's a rinse repeat, half the time broken, piece of sh&t. - Fan Bois - time for you to chime in. - Here's a box of tissue, you sugared up tw8ts.

So you’re wrong about a few things. You can change your class mid game, just pause the game and it says change class. Also you can cancel matchmaking and go to the armorer to adjust your classes. It literally says cancel matchmaking in the bottom right corner. Hopefully this’ll make your experience better
I disagree completely. The controls are tight, the representation of the 40k Universe is spot on, Multiplayer is a lot of fun. It is exactly in line with the previous game and what the players were looking for. 20 minutes of downtime per hour? You must be playing on a bad PC. Both PS5 and XBOX/X were tight. There are TONS of weapons to unlock. Maybe this game's just not for you.
As a sniper main in operations, I get 2 snipers, a DMR, and a SMG for a primary. 1 of the two snipers are absolutely useless. I get 1 secondary, and 1 melee. SOOOOOO many weapons, much wow.
I mean what were we expecting from a guy who posts 3 videos back to back with the same cringy clickbait title "I make players quit..." in the span of a month, just scrolling through I get the 2018 vibe with "I'm quitting Star Citizen" only to make content on it right after, if that's what this guy thinks is quality then it's really no surprise, hearing about repetitiveness when you take this into account is the cherry on top, if you want to farm content at least do it on games which actually get views when they're criticized, trash games like Star Wars Outlaws or Concord or whatever slop you see trending are excellent farms, the irony would be to hear "this is beneath him" when he's doing what those Fortnite kid CCs were doing in 2018/2019
I make content on games I actually want to play. If I wanted to farm views I would beat the shit out of dead horses like concord or outlaws. But I didn't want to play them because I knew what they were before they got released. This game I wanted to play. And it's mediocre at best. Deal with it, or go watch paid content creators that will shill the shit out of it and buy it for $100 and after 6 hours complain how there are no good games out there.
@@GrumpyEyeGaming "after 6 hours" meanwhile 30 hours in still having lots of fun and haven't tried the pvp yet, it has its flaws which are fixed rather easily but best 100$ I spent this year no doubt, I understand you hate it in fact it's mainly a game for 40K fans and people who will appreciate/be intrigued by the setting, at doing that it is amazing but you can have your opinion However if you make content on games you want to play then why do you say you are quitting SC in a video only to keep posting videos on it though ? Ah yes - clickbait, just like this entire video which accomplished nothing and judging by the steam charts it's pretty clear people are not leaving after 6 hours, you'll be surprised to hear lots of SC fans are also WH40K fans (only ones who can afford the minifigs and have the patience to paint them lol, in fact I do own a Polaris warbond which is why it's ironic to say that this is not your audience), I would say the only people who've agreed with you are people who really care about their money which is far from the definition of a typical SC player, those people won't stick around, you're expecting people to "come back and apologize" in your pinned comment, ridiculous, if you paid a game 60$ and play it for more than 60hours then that's 60$ very well spent especially nowadays, nobody will come back to apologize to you, you won't get views from this like you hoped since that's your main issue like you said, imo it will have the reverse effect
@@Stormyy6310 I spent $108 and I have buyers remorse 😂😂😂 I love Warhammer but the world looks like a ps3 game with updated graphics. You don't have to be a "fan" to play this game LIKE EVERY OTHER GAME EVER CREATED, Make a good game and you will gain fans. This game is very mediocre with the same "defend this area" and 0 over the top set pieces.
I love when a reviewer I guess just dont play the first game, buys a game without even small amount of researching, and then goes in with expectations no one but them put on the game. Why would you ever go in like it was helldivers with swords? It was never advertised as such. The first game was nothing like it. Then you shit on the game because, uh let me check, because you didnt get the oddly specific amalgamation of games you, I guess, enjoyed? L take my man a damn shame too.
My favorite is "But I bought it to make money on my youtube channel. Unlike all those sell out creepy wierdos who bought it to... Make money on their youtube channels! Which is lazy and wrong and bad and supporting bad games. Unlike me, who did the same thing, but it's ok... Because I have a youtube channel."
@@TheSMR1969 Actual critism is fine. Plenty of small and big things too criticize. Maybe talk about the amount of levels pve has? Perhaps the difficulty difference between the factions? Instead this guy makes up his own demons and play fights with them. While also imagining a game it was never advertised as and moans that he didn't do, not even a trailer watch. Before purchasing a game.
@@TheSMR1969 Let's look what he said. His key argument is that the game doesn't play like an amalgamation of Helldivers 2 and Destiny 2 pvp. While also just disliking the general premise of the game from the little time he put in. That isn't critism, brother. That's an ignorant buyer of a product. His complaints are all chalked up to his fault. Not the games design, maybe he dislikes this system, no. Its literally just ignorance rather then valid "Oh I don't like this."
My brother in the throne. Your not being bashed because your opinion is unpopular. Your arguments are just terrible to begin with... I give this Heratic an L
Coming from a guy who speaks like this? Clearly some delusion going on here. You paid an insane amount for the shortest amount of game I’ve seen in the last ten years lol.

So... you wanted Helldivers, got something different, new and fresh, and this is not innovative enough for you? The sniper class is useful for quickly eliminating the big leader creatures. If you kill those, the smaller bugs don't swarm you as much, leading to you not having to use melee so much, so it gets less repetitive. But I agree that a sniper without a good squad that complements him is harder to play. While I'm glad you're not including spoilers, what made you cringe about the story? I would be delighted if you could elaborate on what narrative elements you found lacking. Was it a narrative arc of the main character? Was it the side characters? I am glad you dared to post a negative review, as that takes balls to do. A proper highlight of the negative traits is a necessary thing in my opinion, but I find some of your opinions moot as they are highly subjective to you. You seem like a guy that enjoys a more open world, less narrative driven experience and that is completely fine, but if you are like that, and buy a story driven, classic level oriented game, don't be surprised you don't like it that much. Still, if your regular audience knows that you are a big time open world enjoyer, this is still a valid review from such a perspective. Thank you for the review, best of luck with future content.
From what I hear this is old school somewhat lol. And it's kinda just like the other Warhammer games lol . Squad up shoot hordes lol. But this one got pvp. He is wrong about the sniper tho. I use it for the big bois.

The fact that you compared this game to three live service games speaks volumes about you.

You expected Space Marine 2, a mainly linear PVE game to have "the same polish and fun as Destiny 2's PVP mode". Wth are you thinking they're literally nothing alike and Destiny 2 has over a decade of polishing their PVP..
As someone who was an avid Destiny 2 PvP player, that mode is far from polished. Took them months to fix out of map angles. The bag shooting tech, and the artifact mods breaking the mode for a season each season. I can’t remember a season where PvP didn’t feel chaotically not fun.

“I was expecting this to be helldivers with chainswords” “I was expecting the pvp to be as fun as destiny 2 pvp” (Also played assault, the worst class currently, and complained about the worst class being bad) You managed to compare the game to 2 other games that are nothing like it and handy capped yourself with one of the worst, but more importantly*, hardest classes in both pve and pvp And also helldivers 2 is a game where you are punished for playing any other way than what arrowhead deems to be the correct way to the point where its players are actively praying for the game’s downfall and destiny 2 is more referred to as a job more than a game, let alone a *fun* game
@@darkawakening01 all classes are great and you can dominate with assault in pvp with that sexy thunder hammer but it is true that it's harder to play assault than the other classes when you're just starting out, you're putting ourself at a disadvantage and if the only thing you care about is "muh uh return on investment I want to optimize everything" then yeah he messed up, but the entire review is messed up, how can you play a mainly story driven game with a very rich lore yet skip the cutscenes because you consider them boring like wtf is this TikTok kid attention span the cutscenes are some of the most refined ones they're basically a trailer or an animated series on their own
It's still a mediocre game that's overpriced. If it makes people who like the game feel better, it's not the only one. Heck, I miss Titanfall, but when it came out at the same time as COD, it was being overlooked and considered mediocre. Years later, a lot of people had a change of heart, saying it was great. But with Warhammer, the overall is a 7/10. It's not a bad game, but it's not great either. Gears had their prime moments until part 3, but it was absolutely disappointing afterward . I won't be surprise when the new Gears comes out that it will be mediocre. This is a prime example of what Warhammer and other games have become. Social media overhyping mediocre videogames for sales all bc of the name and taking advantage of the fanbase who supports them.
Have you played the 1st one? It's the same formula, turn off your brain and hack and slash waves of enemies. I'm a big fan of the first game, but 6:09 actually killed me inside. Also, seeing as you have a great track record of foreseeing the future for games, what's your take on Deadlock?
Space Marine 2 has good story, design, graphics, enemy design but bad gunplay, very little weapon customization, bad build crafting, and repetitive missions I would love to see the devs improve the gunplay especially
Two big let-downs for me were: 1. Orcs are way more fun to take out than these f*cking bugs 2. The first game gave you the ability to carry 4 weapons, so far I still only have 2 3 hours in. Its a decent game, but its surely overhyped.
Honestly I agree with this review. I'm not saying the game is bad. But as a guy who likes 40K games, after completing Space Marine 2, I immediately wished it had combat as refined as in Darktide. Darktide's combat is fluid and quick, full of a lot of flowing, dynamic choices as you switch from task to task fighting huge hordes. Space Marine 2's combats always felt clunky, slow, not well telegraphed, and unresponsive. But honestly, I could've forgiven all of that... ...IF they had let the player in Space Marine 2 participate in the huge combats. There's the world where the guard are fighting huge waves of tyranids on this bridge - I WANTED to fight on that arena so bad. Or the world where the guard base is getting swarmed with massive waves of 'nids - I wanted to fight THAT battle as well. Instead, you end up going as a small squad, fighting small squads. The ONLY time it felt kinda' interesting were the big waves that were kinda' like WWZ holdouts, but even those sucked. Basically, it was fun when you were fighting alongside the Astra Militarum, because then the combats were bigger, more crazy and you could gauge how well you did by how many guardsmen survived. The game always made me wish I was one of the guardsmen - involved in those huge warzones - rather than the slow, clunky superhuman in powerarmor who couldn't stop talking. The game shows off these great set-pieces... but then you never get to participate in them. It just made me wish that me, and 19 other players, could be the humans with lasguns, trying to hold off massive waves of enemies in crazy locations. Don't get me wrong - the game is a fine game. Space Marine 2 is fun. But, if you want a 40k game to dump dozens (hundreds) of hours into, play Darktide.
They didn't even manage to make your Characters look the same during gameplay and in cutscenes. One Moment I'm holding a melter while wearing a helmet, then the cutscene starts and i have just a bolter and am helmetless. The only good thing in the game so far - and the only reason to continue the campaign - are the fellow Guardsmen giving the nids hell while being just normal humans.
That's... not what he meant, I don't think. In general gameplay, the camera *is* very close to your character. If you're on console, it might be something you're not used to because you don't generally have the option to change that setting. On PC when you're used to it, it's very jarring. It's not quite accurate, but compare it to having to go back to 30fps games when you're used to 60.
@@willy5043 My guy... did you read my comment at all? "compare it to having to go back to 30fps games when you're used to 60" - < I'm talking about not being able to change FoV, when you're used to being able to. A decent comparison would be having to go back to 30fps when you're used to 60. It's jarring. Does that make more sense?
it's a simple game in a sea of games trying to be so complex that they lose the point entirely. It's not shoving any BS into the game that doesn't need to be there and focuses on just being a FUN game. I put 70 hours in real fast, haven't even beaten the story yet because I've been loving the co-op classes and free gear unlocks like OG halo. Yes you could argue there is little content but that's kind of the point, they reduced the scope so that they could polish it. It has some of the best linear level design I've seen with literally the best backdrops we've seen in a long while, it really makes you feel like you are in a warzone. It's a game that if you don't want to pay full price you can wait for a sale or buy from a third party like CD keys. It's fun solo and amazing with mates or more talkative/helpful players. I knew nothing about warhammer but I've binged hours of content to the point I know too much... too much... But that speaks volumes for how unique their world is with content spanning back to the 80's. It might not be EVERYONE's cup of tea but it's my game of the year for sure. Mediocre is going a bit far, we haven't had gameplay this badass and visceral in a long time. I still can't believe they put the time in for multiple executions for the same enemy type, don't see that shit in God of War anymore. GLORY TO THE IMPERIUM BROTHERS!
It doesn't seem like you took the time to explore the game's depth, for example there are quite powerful combos you can execute in melee but you only seemed to notice the two basic attacks.
Spent 90€ on the game to get to play the game early and i loved the game the first day like the first 2-3 Campaign missions, did couple of coop missionn, then it became fkn repetitive and boring..Its not innovative enough to be considered a "game of the year" it fkn lacks everything, it lacks more usefull weapons that feel also different, more different melee weapons, different enemy variants, less boring missions.. Every enemy i fight kinda feels the same, melee weapons only have different skins its only knife, sword and hammer, all the "different" bolt guns and pistol are basically the same dont feel any different from each other.. Its a pretty much mid game 6.5/10 from me.
OK so Grumpy was expecting the game to be something it never was and is disappointed. What a shock. This guy lives on complaining and negativity. If you want to play Helldivers, you know what you can do? Go !@#$ing play Helldivers!
It is almost like he is being a critic and reviewing products. Critics consume more than they create so get negative raps. Like a comedian or wit, they will piss off or upset some to appeal to others. I like hearing a genuine viewpoint. This positivity shit is pathetic. I do not want a rose colored lens placed on me because you cannot ignore it or move on. There are many negative reviews about the game. Do not get butthurt by them, as they are often a genuine response to flaws or issues in the game. That's how they get fixed is bringing them to public light.
@boulderingbadger6179 I generally agree with you but Grumpy has a brand and his review matches the brand. One of the first things he said was that he was going into the game expecting Helldivers and that's not what he got. The entire premise of the review and his attitude to the game is wrong, which invalidates the review, even if some of the things he says I can indeed agree with. I'm no fanboy and I'm not butthurt.
@@vincentsantucci2478 I just bought it on PS5 to see if I can enjoy it at all. I have not used my PS5 in 4 months. Only ever play BG3 on it. Had it since 2021. Hope its good. Will be my first WH game. Recommend any other games they have made?
Tbh my first warhammer game and I’m loving it! I’m not a big single player person but the campaign is so cinematic I can’t help but want to keep going. Looking forward to the endgame multiplayer and PvP
That's the worst cop out to defending a game by saying, "it's not made for you". A game is open for everyone to play, and to be enjoyed by anyone. Obviously, and maybe, the Warhammer fans are eating this up really well, and that's great, but you shouldn't dismiss others just because they found the game to be "okay", or "mid", or even "not so great"'; especially if they have valid reasoning behind why they feel that way, whether you agree with it or not. I for one definitely found the game to be a bit...lacking in some places. The campaign for a fun journey, and okay story, and amazing set pieces to trek through, but I also found the gameplay loop to be dull after the 4 hour mark. It felt extremely repetitive on how you went about missions, engagements, and transversal. As epic as many of the moments can be, I felt some older games did it better, for example like Halo 3; and maybe it's because those areas were a bit more wide spread, and you had more options to you, but I feel like the game just got a little bland in some areas. Don't take it as I'm bashing the game, it's good in it's own way, but it has some flaws as well; which is why I'm sure some reviews I've seen are saying the game is just mid to above average, as a game. Maybe it's an fantastic Warhammer 40k game, but as an individual gaming experience, overall for players who aren't big on the franchise; it's just okay. And nothing's wrong with that; and fans shouldn't take it like an personal attack on the 40k franchise as a whole.
It's a very repetitive game with hardly any customisation then swarmed by the same old enemies, level after same old level. No tanks or gunner missions. Quick run to the lift quick run to the spaceship 😂
Exactly. You played the first level, you’ve played the entire game. There is no variety of gameplay. Same as the first game, a mediocre shooter. Not bad, pretty good, but not a masterpiece by any means.
@@flouserschird It says alot about the state of gaming that gamers are praising this slop, mind numblingly repetitive missions with 0 variety whatsoever, the devs have no idea how to make a well paced interesting varied levels
Calling people bots because they disagree with your controversial opinion is an L take all on its own. Big fan of the SC content but that was not a good look.
"I hate cutscenes in my story driven game." Nobody whos played games for 30 years thinks this way, because cutscenes were always our reward for completing a section of the game. Its so burned into our brains that there have been studies which show that cutscenes trigger the same emotional response in players as winning contests/getting given prizes etc. What you are is a tourist, hoping to ride a contrarian opinion to hit that sweet algorithm juice. Instead you got your rectum shattered into a thousand pieces when people called you out for it. And just like the ever predictable tourist, your instinctual response with any kind of criticism you face for giving an opinion on something you know nothing about is to blame the people who know far more than you do about it. For a serious 40k fan, this is genuinely one of the best attempts at representing the universe we have seen.

On the other hand if cutscenes persist even after story in end game. Then f that. Dunno. I love WH universe and lore but gameplay and camera work made me refund the game. Also no wide screen support.

@seregatanner373 i will keep an eye on the game for sure. Just right now it doesn't hit me the way i want. Managed to avoid cyberpunk 2077 spoilers for a year after launch while waiting for it to be sorted, can manage this one too. I hope it is gonna be expanded.
Hi there, I do agree that the game is not the best game ever but I genuinely perceived it as beyond average and even though I do agree with some of your points, some of them are unfair. First: weapons. You stated that sniper was pretty much unusable/useless because of the map size. Snipers are designed in a specific way in this game, they are not here for crowd control, they have so few munitions that you have to make them count, snipers are designed to treat elite targets such as Neurothrope, Ravener, Lictor, etc. and deal them great damage. Same goes for melee weapons, some are designed for crowd control such as the hammer and the chainsaw sword, knife is more designed for duels, light and heavy attacks must be use accordingly to the situation, doing an heavy attack at the wrong time will cost you, it's not as braindead as you make it and understanding what you can and can't do with each weapon is essential as you up the difficullty. Secondly, execution are not only here to gave some cool moves but are actually part of a greater design. As you up the difficullty you understand the importance of executing enemies at the right time and even preparing one or two to have some shield recharge when needed during a swarm for example, you have to make them count ; they also provide a break time during a complicated situation and let you analyze for you next move. Thirdly, cutscenes. They are not as present as you say, you choosed a specific case at the end of the game where they are seconds apart (in bad faith ?). They're OK during the game. Fourthly, operation mode. In this mode you are a side squad assisting Titus, the main character of the campaign mode, for his mission, that's why they look like campaign missions (for the better and the worse). That mode is built like every other squad vs swarm games, you do them to unlock better tier equipment to face greater difficulty and so on but to enjoy them you must understand combat mechanics/design to feel the joy of beating the difficulty by placing yourself better, analyzing the situation better, etc. (like every other horde game) ; dealing with greater difficulty makes the game more enjoyable (with a great squad). For the rest I pretty much agree, the game is overpriced, the content in operation mode light, FOV setting would have been appreciated and PVP is not the best (even so you can have some fun moments in it) ; for those who know the game World War Z, it's pretty close to it but with more depht imo (same studio afterall).
Not going to downvote or insult you, it’s your honest opinion. However, SM 2 is probably one of the most polished games I’ve played this year. I would also argue that it does what it sets out to do despite it not breaking any ground. I do agree the weapon variety could be stronger but I certainly wouldn’t call the game “mediocre”. It never ever claimed to be in the likeness of Helldivers 2, yet it gets bashed because it’s not that style of gameplay? It sounds like you just don’t like narrative driven campaigns.
Combat mechanics suck , the space marine feels light and not like a walking tank , ranged enemies hit you every time and ranged combat is garbage , PvP is literally worthless , lack of weapons and attacks feel not heavy. Games beautiful but man objectively speaking it’s not a great game in terms of actual gameplay . We’ve had masterpieces the last few years so we know what those look like .
How could the melee be improved? It's meant to be simple and there is no need for it to have tekken level combos. And I don't know what you expected with the different melee weapons either, you said that the only difference between the weapons was the speed of the attacks, but isn't that all melee weapons work in video games? You also said that the missions are just walking from cutscene to cutscene, but that is also how most story missions in games work, you can also skip all of them. I agree with the gun variety, almost all of the guns look and feel the same. Sorry for my english btw
But it's not simple and it robs the immersion. It's a dumb attack+counter game. It's lame. In the first game, you felt like an unstoppable killing machine. I HATE these kill cam scripted events, cut scenes, and combo+combo+combo your way to the next cut scene.
This guy says Destiny 2 pvp and Star Citizin are peak, and compared this game to Starfield. This is a simple, fun game that delivered what was advertised. You misunderstood what the game was, and wanted an overly complex system. You may think its mid, but thats what most would call your opinion on this game.
Your opinion makes me agree with you I guess. Not everyone should review game reviewers. Because reality will keep the system in balance. If he is not good, then he will not get subs or likes and he will get the hint. Its negative and non helpful comments like this that ruin the internet. Learn to write a comment. Your statement is below 5th grade level on Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level scale. So how about when you try to spread hate you actually do it more effectively?
Well, at the end of the day, a game reviewer is just one's opinion on the content of the game. It's not some written gospel that needs to be taken as objective fact.
Honest review but with a lack of knowledge, I think you should first learn about the game as well as the game's world and story, it will make the review more objective and accurate.
There's a justification people subconsciously do when they've hyped a game and then spent $100 on it, they need to create an illusion together that it's awesome. That way they don't have to admit they're out of touch with gaming choices. I knew far ahead that this game would be mid at best, I think for myself and I'm glad I didn't waste money getting caught up in hype.
Space Marine One made me feel like an angel of death, I was boots-on-the-ground from game start to finish, all the guns kick arse and I do mean all of them, hand weapons had weight to them and punished enemies hard, I could use a storm bolter as my main weapon in parts of the games, execution moves required some button bashing, and yet, just the right amount for in-game satisfaction; Titus was cocky af, brimming with confidence, massive swagger...but he's not a dick. Vet. Sgt. Sidonus and Titus have that time-served banter like good mates ; Orks or brutal and hammy at the same time, chaos were demonic, yet had sleazy bad-boy energy dripping with purple hues, Space Marine one was like "Days of our lives: repelling an Ork invasion"... Space Marine two on the other hand all the Guns are underpowered, hand weapons aside from the Chainsword aren't satisfying to use, Titus is treated like a piece of sh*t/possible traitor through most of the game which blatantly forced, Titus is a dour character, where's the anger from a wrongful decision made 200 years prior, some of the Primaris Marines in the game are... quite bitchy, with a lot side eye going on, the Tyranids are very detached enemy types, they're a dopamine hit that diminishes, they have zero depth, Dawn of War 2 handled the war against Chaos and the 'Nids to save a planet much better... I digress; I expected much more for what I paid, hell I paid 23.93 gbp for Path of Exile 2 in early access and I've not made it past the 2nd act [of six] due to watching several builds vids [on youtube] for my in game path Ascendency subclass, creating mains, alts, loot and material farming, boss grinding, loads of co-op games I've clocked in at 92 hours and I be well over 100 hours before 2024 ends, Space Marine 2 I got and was done after 31.6 hours for 54.99gbp... that is not good.
Thank you for this honest review. It hits my point of view pretty good. I already thought I am alone because everyone is hyping this mediocre (at best) game. I guess I am not the target audience any more.
It's a great looking game, I'm certain that if you love 40k it's right up your street but to be honest it's basically GoW lite, the combat is really samey and there just weren't enough memorable bosses, it could have done with stealing the GoW cover system to make it more interesting, basically felt like I was playing a beautiful cinematic, I love the volume of enemies just feel like they could have done better gameplay-wise with such a rich IP that's actually based on a game.
My problem is, I just finish Black Myth Wukong. Transition from Wukong to SM2... I just can't get into it. Wukong gameplay, combat and graphic is so good make SM2 feels so clunky and oudated. However, it is good that others can enjoy it.
"Who would play this when you can play Marvel or Overwatch?" Holy shit when i tell yall I genuinely had a deep belly laugh after that. Saber Interactive knew the fanbase it was making this game for and its clear as day it paid off. Us warhammer fans dont want or need the next greatest thing, we just want somethint solid. Thats why DoW is STILL to this day being played. This guy is literally the soyjack meme.
"The amount of loading screens and fades to black are worse that Starfield". I'm tuning out here. I tried to hear you out and let you get your opinion out there but already this is all in bad faith. Literally can't take you seriously when you say hyperbolic nonsense. You're entitled to your opinion but it's actually wrong. Cry me a River "oh I won't even make my money back on this video. I wasted $100." Smh. Idk if this video is a troll and I just tuned out before you said "gotcha" but if not, I plead with you. Don't try this whole "I'll get attention for disliking the popular thing" meta. You'll just get views from hate watchers. And it'll just further perpetuate the idea that you can actually be successful by hating on things people like. If you really don't like it, don't make a video about it. Just make videos on things you do like. You'll be much more successful that way. Literally every channel I'm subscribed too that focuses on positive content has continued growth. It's actually really cool to see. And I have watched negative channels like "What culture" and "Dreamcast guy" stagnate and lose viewers just because they only post negative content hating on things or complaining. Just some friendly advice.
Bro said "EA made the graphics, ubisoft made the gameplay"🤣🤣🤣🤣gtfo with your nonsense, what ea pr ubisoft games are you referring to? i was trying to find some positives in ypur opinions but that sentence just killed all your credibility
@@sterlingarcher265 Yes. Because that was the in thing when the first game was made. This game is sequel to the first game, made to be a sequel, made for fans of the first game. Period. It wasn't made for people expecting Helldivers and Metal Gear Solid to screw and make a baby .
Not a fanboy, this is my second Warhammer game I played after vermintide 2. Space marine 2 made me really nostalgic. It's a great game, the campaign could've been a little longer but everything else I think is perfect.
Really loved this review. It covered exactly what I need to know that other reviewers like to skirt around. Are there different weapons? do they feel different? Game play gets boring? how boring? why? What are the different levels like? Very detailed and I appreciate the honesty. 40K lore is pretty interesting but to be honest I'm pretty wary of the IP in gaming at this point.
40K has such cool lore, so it's sad to see it be cursed with so many boring games. Hopefully SM2 improves in the following months cause I still do enjoy it from time to time despite its many flaws.
Have you actually played doom3??? Like, doom3`s rooms are waaaay smaller than those of this game. I agree that weapons are lack of variety. It`s like SMG, Sniper rifle, Shotgun(melta), energy rifle and rifle type 1 type 2 type 3 type 4. But if you played CO-OP mode, I highly doubt that this variety does not make every class feel special. I wish more for this game, but eeeeeh... you are not lying but exaggerating things.
I agree. I’m baffled by all the hype for this game. I’m a big warhammer fan and also a gamer. I found this game boring and not once looked forward to putting it on
You are a bad gamer, just complaining!!! You say that you can't play as a Sniper effectively. Sniper is overpowered, you can activate camouflage every few seconds (depending on your perks) and can have infinite ammo, killing all elites while leaving minors to bots or other players.
I haven't played it, but the furious glazing of this game has made me hold off on buying it. Seems to be seriously lacking in content, and the PvP looks very boring. I think there's a great foundation here, but I am going to wait for some more content and updates. I am hearing many more dissenting opinions on it as time goes on and the initial hype wears off. Been burnt WAY too many times by these types of games.
Most of the complaints about the game are a mixture of too many expectations while also making mistakes in combat and complaining that the "game is bad". One example is people stating the game needs more variety of enemy types and weapons. The reality is the devs did not expect the game to do as well as it has. So though they had plans for new stuff that is still underway, they also now can add even more to the game. There is also the fact that everything they do has to go through GW who have a lot of stipulations on what can and cannot be added. Something as simple as adding another enemy faction requires GW approval which it has been made clear will not be easy to convince them unless there is massive support from fans to do it. That is just one example of how limited the devs were due to GW being protective of the franchise. Honestly, the only real complaint I have about the game right now is with matchmaking as it occasionally bugs out when connecting to other players and the matchmaking does not queue you up as the current class you are playing. These issues are not enough to stop me from enjoying the game and are relatively simple issues that can be fixed. I would easily give this game an 8/10 which could go even further if the devs continue to deliver on updates..
it just seems like another hack n slash with some “cool kill scenes” like idk man these games are all starting to blend together in a very mediocre way.
I agree, for me game is disappointment. Campaign is 10-12h according to devs, I completed in about 8h, I rushed a bit. Campaign is good part of the game, but it is 1/5 of what it should be for $60+. I was hoping so much for multiplayer, but in PVP melee is death sentence, everyone is so slow that if you are caught away from cover, you are dead. in PVE everything is slow, you are either running or you are swarmed. All this on 6 maps, where some can take over 1h to complete. If we dont count for WH fans, this game will drop like a rock in 2 weeks, no matter what devs promise
So the game is best for people with friends do you think? I’m debating on getting the game but I don’t have anyone to play with and I’m unsure if it’s great to play on my own?
the camera being too close is a common unpopular problem for me. common for multiple AAA game like ghost of tsushima but seem to be unpopular among players. So, glad you mention it
I agree, the game is a boring pile - short campaign - boring, repetitive linear missions with 0 variety in setpieces, combat encounters, puzzles - 0 secrets - repeated boss fights - final boss is not really a boss
I fully agree with the 7 hour campaign being mediocre in length. Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade had better PVP and it was free to play. Arguably was even more fun, it died in 2021 but some people are still hosting servers if you want to play for free and not spend $60 same stuff if you wanna do PVP. Paying $60-$100 for a 7 hour campaign is a scam. Paying that much just for 1-2 good cutscenes at most with the rest being half ass MMO grade cutscenes and the "LORE" is absurd. You could easily watch 7 hours of animated Warhammer 40k series and lore on youtube and get more knowledge and enjoyment than playing this half effort recycled game. On top of that when it comes to a lot of armor, it looks like it was textured to be in World of Warcraft. The game feels like it was made in 2018 but just added more blur and ambient occlusion and a bunch of flying creatures swarming in the air. This game should have been $40 at most with no $100 preorder version. This game is more of a money grab than Star Citizen itself.
It's like Hogwarts Legacy. People are so desperate for a good franchise game that they'll praise anything average. Gears of War showed how it's done. This game has no right to be as bad as it is, and no one will be talking about it anymore in a couple of weeks.
This is not even jn the same league as Hogwarts Legacy. The gameplay is PERFECT representation of a Space Marine. The story is a complete Masterpiece that does not hold your hands and walk you through your little feelings and expect you to use your noggin to understand the deeper themes and ideas being shown.
I wouldn’t say the game is mediocre. I’d say it’s above mediocre but obviously not a masterpiece. Coop is fun, but they need to give xp for actually killing enemies and not just for completing it. They also need more missions. Campaign was amazing, and I really enjoyed it. Hope they have a DLC coming out soon for it, but it’s not really necessary if they don’t either. PvP is where the mediocre really kicks in and why the game is still not a masterpiece. Need to implement an actual parrying system or a blocking system for certain classes against melee (just like in coop). Some classes are really OP and there’s not much you can do against them unless if your clueless team finally notices and decides to help you. Need more pvp game modes and more importantly, a better rewards system for pvp. It’s insane how boring the pvp is when you don’t get anything for your hard work. The only thing you get out of pvp as a newer player is cosmetics and weapons. I played a lot of coop before pvp so I unlocked all the cosmetics for my classes, and now only get weapons for them in pvp every 6-7 games (sometimes more depending on wins/loses). Wish they had ability perks like in coop or weapon skill points to tune them up to your liking. Edit: they also need to add more content for the heretics side. I hate playing on that side due to the fact it’s so bland and there’s nothing for them unlike the space marines.
Idk why people are saying this is an L take. This is one of my most anticipated games of all times. Ive enjoyed it....but theres many issues: 1a. The melee combat is clunky (or maybe poorly explained?). For a hack and slash...why is there no block? Theres only a parry system which you get HEAVILY punished for if you mess up on pretty much any difficulty, which is problematic because youre constantly swarmed but also.... 1b. You'll be engaged in melee but being shot with pinpoint accuracy from ranged Tyranids (which can shoot through other tyranids) and do massive damage 2. The god damn loading screens (mainly because of the unnecessary hub which was absent from the first game). Im playing on PS5 and the downtime is crazy. Especially if theres disconnects. 3. On PS5 you can only use the painfully slow cursor in menus 4. The game is very grindy for operations mode. If you want to even attempt higher difficulties to have more fun, youre hard pressed doing so underpowered 5. The balancing of classes is off in operations. Particularly the assault class. Some classes are just handicapped without their ability, and cant do much against ranged threats like neurothropes and zoanthropes. 6. I know horde mode is coming, but very surprising this wasnt in at launch 7. PvP is mid...idk how you could say otherwise. Emphasis on mid....not bad....too many peope interpret "mid" as "bad". I like the game, solid 7/10, and I would recommend. But im not delusional. I think this game is trying to be Darktide with no block, medicae stations, or sufficient ways to heal. Oh and additionally: The plot is the EXACT SAME as the 1st game. Literally the exact same. Its so similar that even Titus is trying to prevent the exact same thing from happening again (and it still does lool).
Also love it how bro didn't realize if you pause the game you see in big ass font CHANGE CLASS and i can clearly see he never played the first game haha bro this game is 10/10 why cause i rather play a game where i can go in balls deep and scream "FOR THE EMPEROR!!!" and win and lose still have a good time why cause the emperor protects may this slop of a video never reach the forces of chaos it will get to powerful and turn into brain rot
Also last thing this game will be played for years Cause look at the first game which you never played clearly and know they have thousands of players on daily replaying the campaign and using mods to play as whatever chapter they wanted to play You call this game Claustrophobic- "in a right English accent" but your ego is showing when you say "I have been right about all these bad games and I know this game is bad" Like bro we all knew those games you listed were a 50/50 but some of them are making a comeback This game is about to get the dark angels update which I know you don't know what that is but hey it's not like you need to be a super genius to understand what a fun game is now a days Star wars citizen sure seems like a keeper
@@vrviking8930 maybe this dude dosent like such games. because I love survival simulation and park building games but I also like boss rushes and combat games despite having a taste in games that a minority loves which is park builders
Been playing for a week. Had fun, still having fun, will probably continue to have fun. If they make SM3 in a year or two with this basic formula but better in every way I'll be satisfied. The campaign is something you play for that cinematic experience. Yes, there's a lot of cutscene segments but I never felt like it was too much. Only thing that bothers me with cinematics is that I think they should auto skip in operations when every player has seen them at least three times. Leave an option to disable auto skip in the options for those that want to see them every time, but auto skip should be enabled by default after viewing the same cutscene the first 3 times imo. I don't know what you mean about the audio, you didn't exactly elaborate on that. I didn't notice any issues but I'm not really an audiophile. Voice acting unintelligible...? Come on now. But, I can see what you mean about the character voices sounding similar, at least. You mentioned graphics, but you didn't call out the optimization? Story of SM2 and Helldivers 2 is cringe, apparently? I dunno what you were expecting or what you mean by that. Helldivers is over the top on purpose, while this game is basically power fantasy ultramax edition. You're probably right about the PVP not being able to keep this game alive on its own for an extended period of time. The hype will die down eventually, but I think most people will remember this one as one of the good ones. I fully agree Helldivers banning countries was a terrible move, and Sony (not the devs as you claim) deserves all the criticism for that. Arrowhead's made some questionable decisions since Helldivers 2's launch, but that was out of their control. Worth noting that a few individuals on the dev team seemed to support Sony's decision at the start, though. The removal of the PSN account requirement was nothing more than the wool being pulled over the community's eyes, as those countries remain banned to this day. That's certainly a bigger bad guy move than having to make some burner account. Massive L on Sony. I tried googling "Saber Interactive Firing" and "Saber Interactive Controversy" but all I could find was the studio splitting from Embracer Group, a singular writer being fired, and some statement from the CEO about imposing morals in video games. Embracer Group seems to be laying off a whole lot of folks but Saber separated from them. Maybe I'm wrong, I just skimmed google for a few minutes. I left a dislike not because I disagree with you, but because the bit at the end was unnecessary. This coming from someone that shared your views from day 1 on each of those listed titles.
Hey man, I don’t understand why people are slamming you, I think you are 100% right, to a T. I’m not even finished the campaign mode and I’m considering stopping playing the game. I’m not comparing it to Helldivers 2 (there is no comparison, HD2 is so much better that it’s in a different category), but it LITERALLY made me go back to playing HD2 last night instead of playing this brand new game. I think fanboys love the concept and are loyal to the concept, and not grading this game on its own merits. If it didn’t have the allure of WAR HAMMER, people would not be defending it. Also, the graphics of the big scenes are good, yeah, but the graphics of the characters, even in the cut scenes, are average. The main characters face looks Exactly Like the graphics from Gears of War from 10 years ago. They concentrated WAY too much on the glory of scale to create HORDES that they didn’t focus on the fighting for any unique touch points throughout. If I could get my money back I would. Super disappointing game.
Brothers don't react. This *Heratic* is an obvious troll. May the emperor be with you. AND AS FOR YOU! (Points at heratic) You sound like a tourist anyway, so it's no big deal. Is ok little Heratic we forgive you 🙏
I agree. It’s a lame, claustrophobic, repetitive, clunky mess of boring, unbalanced and predictable hype. There’s no co-op matchmaking for the campaign, yet there’s matching making for the other game modes. Why? The PoV is horrid and unadjustable. The dodge/parry mechanics are mindless. Why have giant, random visual cues to parry some attacks when nearly all attacks can be parried? Dumb. They should toss that and just keep the visual cues for unblockable attacks. Whatever… I’ll begrudgingly finish the game just so I can 100% confirm my extremely valid opinion that Space Marine 2 is a brainless, boring sleepfest.
This guy is a clown cries the game is boring wanted hell divers instead says there’s to many cut scenes magin giving exposition idk mybe I just became a warhammer fan boy over the past week but I would recommend this game easy 8/10
I know this game has some updates planned, but I don't think it's aiming to be a live service in the way something like Destiny 2 is. Either way, I'm loving it myself. I just want to bust Xenos heads together, and I find the combat satisfying in a way that Helldivers isn't. I just wish the A.I. teammates weren't fucking useless.
The AI teammates useless ? They are everything but useless, in fact they are pretty OP, they'll take little to no damage in every combat situation, stick close to you and take down hordes rather easily all this with no supply consumption meaning you have everything for yourself, they also revive you very quickly, the only problems come with mini bosses and bosses, while they can be very good against a Lictor (invisible guys) and the burying guys by taking agro they don't do anything against the flying head duos which are a real pain
@@Stormyy6310 Yeah, they're fine against the smaller enemies but like you said, they're no good when it comes to bosses (God help you if you're playing a Bulwark and Zoanthropes show up) or dealing with objectives, which I imagine will become more and more of an issue as you move up in difficulty. Also, the enemies tend to ignore your A.I. teammates, so all those elites/bosses will be gangbanging you while your team watches on.
Says ur locked in super small maps but shows a gigantic staircase 5:35 In the first game they were smaller and the combat was even more simplified but the game was still hella fun, I really don't get what's wrong with the combat much better than 70% of games. Mybe not Dmc or Bayonetta level but it's still a great hack and slash shooter.
The dislike bombing is real lol
The main issue is that the current fanboys will not come back and say that they're sorry once they see that I'm right lol.
You all just go watch your favorite paid shills, pay $100 for the game, and then complain that there are no good games getting released.
I said that the game was not good, but not that bad either. But you perceive it as a negative review.
You deserve IGN, and you deserve overpriced mediocre quality products.
edit: after 10 days of being called a cuck, baldie, idiot, retard, fag and woke out of all things... For having an unbiased opinion that is unpopular, because I've played games for 30+ years and I've played games that are better than this one that got released 10+ years ago... I realized where this shit comes from, and now I know that the humanity is lost. You guys are completely lost, and you have to touch grass and stop slurping up what your influencers say, and maybe use your braincells for something else than being toxic on the internet. All I saw was an army of bots, and not free thinking people.

and you literally said that "it's not really a good game" right at the beginning. you can say whatever you want after, but no one is gonna care about it after hearing these words.
dislike bombing is quite overstatement. you said something that people are disagreeing with - you get dislikes from these people. simply because the majority (127 likes and 133 dislikes at the moment) of people are having a different opinion than yours doesn't mean they are "dislike bombing" your video.

Shipped as advertised, and it's amazing. Nobody obligated or told you to buy the most expensive edition either.

@@Verdiac97 Its bizzare to be honest, the fact that he mentions weapons and melee weapons but refused to show examples of why this is bad nor compares it with other games that offer something better.

All he had to do was buy the standard edition or if he has friends who bought the game, maybe ask to try it out via steam sharing.
Very odd individual for sure.

Space Marine II is a big ol’ double cheeseburger. It’s not the fanciest thing on the menu, but it hits the spot when you’re starving. Not every game needs to be complicated, pretentious or overly artisitic or try to be revolutionary, sometimes straight forward story and solid gameplay is all that’s needed. This being a 40k game, they absolutely nailed the environments, characters and tone every step of the way.
If you bought it early, *hoping* it would be solid, maybe that’s affected how you feel. Not saying that as a slam, just that expecting something of a game when you put more money into it can leave a bad taste. I didn’t pre-order for exactly this reason. I waited, I saw reviews that all generally lined up with what I was hoping for. I took the risk, had myself a big double cheeseburger of a game and am satisfied.
Im going to need you to point me to the solid gameplay part of Space Marine 2 because holding down Left click for 7 hours to kill "hordes" ( most of the time just waves of 10-20 enemies grouped together) is not even close to a solid gameplay. Not agreeing with the dude in the video, but the community loves to sell this game as an "old school shooter", but it has no characteristics of an old school game other than being linear. No variety or uniqueness to the weapons, no secret areas for a unique weapon or equipment, puzzles or unique maps, barely any variety in enemies, and bosses were pretty unremarkable as well.
@SamuraiDeek You clearly haven't played it if you fan say that's the gameplay.
@@nononame2033you sound pretty jaded to me or like you went into it determined to not like it. Or you might have had preconceptions about what you thought you’d find and those preconceptions weren’t met. I like this game specifically because of its simplicity (same reason I liked the first game). Too many games are trying to do too much and none of it particularly well.
The story is straightforward and a good continuation of the first. The characters are exactly what I expect of Space Marines, Mechanicus and Guardsmen. The environments are the best interpretation of 40k I have ever seen and have a bunch of little snippets of daily life show a great attention to detail. The shooting mechanics are adequate. Weapon variety is somewhat lacking, but there are plenty of others to pick up along the way. The melee is adequate as well, if admittedly a bit awkward at first. If all you did was shoot the whole way through, then you ignored half the mechanics. It sounds to me like you played it on too low of a difficulty if you only ever had to rely on shooting. If you’re breezing through on the hardest difficulty (somehow without engaging in anything other than gunplay) and you say “the bosses are nothing special” then maybe you just spend too much time on video games (probably dark souls)?
Then again, maybe this kind of game just isn’t your cup of tea? Don’t know. 2 million people within the first two weeks and solid scores from most sources says a lot of people don’t agree with your assessment. The way it seems to me, this game’s whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Individually, nothing it does is new or particularly refined, but how (and likely when) it combines them all clearly appeals to a lot of people.
So it's a good game simply because it's a set in the 40K universe, despite the game itself being medicore at best?
It's just meh lad. No need to try and think of reasons he didn't like it or to try and make it out that it is actually good. The gameplay is boring, UnIntuitive, clunky muck. Melee based gears of war 2010 style game without the fun.

Damn dude, could you please show us some more mediocre games. I need them in my life.
I disagree completely. The controls are tight, the representation of the 40k Universe is spot on, Multiplayer is a lot of fun. It is exactly in line with the previous game and what the players were looking for. 20 minutes of downtime per hour? You must be playing on a bad PC. Both PS5 and XBOX/X were tight. There are TONS of weapons to unlock. Maybe this game's just not for you.
3 secondary weapons and 4 melee are TONS lol get out of here
So what? I don’t agree either with all that gibberish you wrote
Hahahah bad PC! 7950x and a water cooled 4090. Yeah that's terrible. Worst pc build ever.
As a sniper main in operations, I get 2 snipers, a DMR, and a SMG for a primary. 1 of the two snipers are absolutely useless. I get 1 secondary, and 1 melee. SOOOOOO many weapons, much wow.
Controls are tight? put the crack pipe down
I mean what were we expecting from a guy who posts 3 videos back to back with the same cringy clickbait title "I make players quit..." in the span of a month, just scrolling through I get the 2018 vibe with "I'm quitting Star Citizen" only to make content on it right after, if that's what this guy thinks is quality then it's really no surprise, hearing about repetitiveness when you take this into account is the cherry on top, if you want to farm content at least do it on games which actually get views when they're criticized, trash games like Star Wars Outlaws or Concord or whatever slop you see trending are excellent farms, the irony would be to hear "this is beneath him" when he's doing what those Fortnite kid CCs were doing in 2018/2019
I make content on games I actually want to play. If I wanted to farm views I would beat the shit out of dead horses like concord or outlaws. But I didn't want to play them because I knew what they were before they got released. This game I wanted to play. And it's mediocre at best. Deal with it, or go watch paid content creators that will shill the shit out of it and buy it for $100 and after 6 hours complain how there are no good games out there.
@@GrumpyEyeGaming "after 6 hours" meanwhile 30 hours in still having lots of fun and haven't tried the pvp yet, it has its flaws which are fixed rather easily but best 100$ I spent this year no doubt, I understand you hate it in fact it's mainly a game for 40K fans and people who will appreciate/be intrigued by the setting, at doing that it is amazing but you can have your opinion
However if you make content on games you want to play then why do you say you are quitting SC in a video only to keep posting videos on it though ? Ah yes - clickbait, just like this entire video which accomplished nothing and judging by the steam charts it's pretty clear people are not leaving after 6 hours, you'll be surprised to hear lots of SC fans are also WH40K fans (only ones who can afford the minifigs and have the patience to paint them lol, in fact I do own a Polaris warbond which is why it's ironic to say that this is not your audience), I would say the only people who've agreed with you are people who really care about their money which is far from the definition of a typical SC player, those people won't stick around, you're expecting people to "come back and apologize" in your pinned comment, ridiculous, if you paid a game 60$ and play it for more than 60hours then that's 60$ very well spent especially nowadays, nobody will come back to apologize to you, you won't get views from this like you hoped since that's your main issue like you said, imo it will have the reverse effect

So... you wanted Helldivers, got something different, new and fresh, and this is not innovative enough for you?
The sniper class is useful for quickly eliminating the big leader creatures. If you kill those, the smaller bugs don't swarm you as much, leading to you not having to use melee so much, so it gets less repetitive. But I agree that a sniper without a good squad that complements him is harder to play.
While I'm glad you're not including spoilers, what made you cringe about the story? I would be delighted if you could elaborate on what narrative elements you found lacking. Was it a narrative arc of the main character? Was it the side characters?
I am glad you dared to post a negative review, as that takes balls to do. A proper highlight of the negative traits is a necessary thing in my opinion, but I find some of your opinions moot as they are highly subjective to you. You seem like a guy that enjoys a more open world, less narrative driven experience and that is completely fine, but if you are like that, and buy a story driven, classic level oriented game, don't be surprised you don't like it that much. Still, if your regular audience knows that you are a big time open world enjoyer, this is still a valid review from such a perspective.

As someone who was an avid Destiny 2 PvP player, that mode is far from polished. Took them months to fix out of map angles. The bag shooting tech, and the artifact mods breaking the mode for a season each season. I can’t remember a season where PvP didn’t feel chaotically not fun.

And also helldivers 2 is a game where you are punished for playing any other way than what arrowhead deems to be the correct way to the point where its players are actively praying for the game’s downfall and destiny 2 is more referred to as a job more than a game, let alone a *fun* game

It's still a mediocre game that's overpriced. If it makes people who like the game feel better, it's not the only one. Heck, I miss Titanfall, but when it came out at the same time as COD, it was being overlooked and considered mediocre. Years later, a lot of people had a change of heart, saying it was great. But with Warhammer, the overall is a 7/10. It's not a bad game, but it's not great either. Gears had their prime moments until part 3, but it was absolutely disappointing afterward . I won't be surprise when the new Gears comes out that it will be mediocre. This is a prime example of what Warhammer and other games have become. Social media overhyping mediocre videogames for sales all bc of the name and taking advantage of the fanbase who supports them.
Have you played the 1st one? It's the same formula, turn off your brain and hack and slash waves of enemies. I'm a big fan of the first game, but 6:09 actually killed me inside. Also, seeing as you have a great track record of foreseeing the future for games, what's your take on Deadlock?
Space Marine 2 has good story, design, graphics, enemy design but bad gunplay, very little weapon customization, bad build crafting, and repetitive missions I would love to see the devs improve the gunplay especially
Two big let-downs for me were:
1. Orcs are way more fun to take out than these f*cking bugs
2. The first game gave you the ability to carry 4 weapons, so far I still only have 2 3 hours in.
Its a decent game, but its surely overhyped.
You can carry 3 plus a heavy weapon, making it 4. Two ranged weapons, one melee and one heavy.
@@bahamut256 its not the same. in the original you had 4 weapons, 1 melee AND you could pick up stuff if I remember correctly

@@Yetis-o3zMore like your reply
Honestly I agree with this review. I'm not saying the game is bad. But as a guy who likes 40K games, after completing Space Marine 2, I immediately wished it had combat as refined as in Darktide. Darktide's combat is fluid and quick, full of a lot of flowing, dynamic choices as you switch from task to task fighting huge hordes. Space Marine 2's combats always felt clunky, slow, not well telegraphed, and unresponsive. But honestly, I could've forgiven all of that...
...IF they had let the player in Space Marine 2 participate in the huge combats. There's the world where the guard are fighting huge waves of tyranids on this bridge - I WANTED to fight on that arena so bad. Or the world where the guard base is getting swarmed with massive waves of 'nids - I wanted to fight THAT battle as well. Instead, you end up going as a small squad, fighting small squads. The ONLY time it felt kinda' interesting were the big waves that were kinda' like WWZ holdouts, but even those sucked. Basically, it was fun when you were fighting alongside the Astra Militarum, because then the combats were bigger, more crazy and you could gauge how well you did by how many guardsmen survived.
The game always made me wish I was one of the guardsmen - involved in those huge warzones - rather than the slow, clunky superhuman in powerarmor who couldn't stop talking. The game shows off these great set-pieces... but then you never get to participate in them. It just made me wish that me, and 19 other players, could be the humans with lasguns, trying to hold off massive waves of enemies in crazy locations.
Don't get me wrong - the game is a fine game. Space Marine 2 is fun. But, if you want a 40k game to dump dozens (hundreds) of hours into, play Darktide.
They didn't even manage to make your Characters look the same during gameplay and in cutscenes. One Moment I'm holding a melter while wearing a helmet, then the cutscene starts and i have just a bolter and am helmetless.
The only good thing in the game so far - and the only reason to continue the campaign - are the fellow Guardsmen giving the nids hell while being just normal humans.
10:20 bro are you blind the fov zoom in only when you are aiming. Why shoot at something when it’s next to you
That's... not what he meant, I don't think. In general gameplay, the camera *is* very close to your character. If you're on console, it might be something you're not used to because you don't generally have the option to change that setting. On PC when you're used to it, it's very jarring.

Does that make more sense?
it's a simple game in a sea of games trying to be so complex that they lose the point entirely. It's not shoving any BS into the game that doesn't need to be there and focuses on just being a FUN game. I put 70 hours in real fast, haven't even beaten the story yet because I've been loving the co-op classes and free gear unlocks like OG halo. Yes you could argue there is little content but that's kind of the point, they reduced the scope so that they could polish it. It has some of the best linear level design I've seen with literally the best backdrops we've seen in a long while, it really makes you feel like you are in a warzone. It's a game that if you don't want to pay full price you can wait for a sale or buy from a third party like CD keys. It's fun solo and amazing with mates or more talkative/helpful players. I knew nothing about warhammer but I've binged hours of content to the point I know too much... too much... But that speaks volumes for how unique their world is with content spanning back to the 80's. It might not be EVERYONE's cup of tea but it's my game of the year for sure. Mediocre is going a bit far, we haven't had gameplay this badass and visceral in a long time. I still can't believe they put the time in for multiple executions for the same enemy type, don't see that shit in God of War anymore. GLORY TO THE IMPERIUM BROTHERS!
Dude is getting crushed by dislikes, but he's right
This guy is trying to give ign and pc gamer a run for their money on this take
It doesn't seem like you took the time to explore the game's depth, for example there are quite powerful combos you can execute in melee but you only seemed to notice the two basic attacks.
Spent 90€ on the game to get to play the game early and i loved the game the first day like the first 2-3 Campaign missions, did couple of coop missionn, then it became fkn repetitive and boring..Its not innovative enough to be considered a "game of the year" it fkn lacks everything, it lacks more usefull weapons that feel also different, more different melee weapons, different enemy variants, less boring missions.. Every enemy i fight kinda feels the same, melee weapons only have different skins its only knife, sword and hammer, all the "different" bolt guns and pistol are basically the same dont feel any different from each other.. Its a pretty much mid game 6.5/10 from me.
OK so Grumpy was expecting the game to be something it never was and is disappointed. What a shock. This guy lives on complaining and negativity. If you want to play Helldivers, you know what you can do? Go !@#$ing play Helldivers!

@@ciiu you have heresy detected within that statement.
That's the worst cop out to defending a game by saying, "it's not made for you". A game is open for everyone to play, and to be enjoyed by anyone. Obviously, and maybe, the Warhammer fans are eating this up really well, and that's great, but you shouldn't dismiss others just because they found the game to be "okay", or "mid", or even "not so great"'; especially if they have valid reasoning behind why they feel that way, whether you agree with it or not.
I for one definitely found the game to be a bit...lacking in some places. The campaign for a fun journey, and okay story, and amazing set pieces to trek through, but I also found the gameplay loop to be dull after the 4 hour mark. It felt extremely repetitive on how you went about missions, engagements, and transversal. As epic as many of the moments can be, I felt some older games did it better, for example like Halo 3; and maybe it's because those areas were a bit more wide spread, and you had more options to you, but I feel like the game just got a little bland in some areas.
Don't take it as I'm bashing the game, it's good in it's own way, but it has some flaws as well; which is why I'm sure some reviews I've seen are saying the game is just mid to above average, as a game. Maybe it's an fantastic Warhammer 40k game, but as an individual gaming experience, overall for players who aren't big on the franchise; it's just okay. And nothing's wrong with that; and fans shouldn't take it like an personal attack on the 40k franchise as a whole.
It's a very repetitive game with hardly any customisation then swarmed by the same old enemies, level after same old level. No tanks or gunner missions. Quick run to the lift quick run to the spaceship 😂
Exactly. You played the first level, you’ve played the entire game. There is no variety of gameplay. Same as the first game, a mediocre shooter. Not bad, pretty good, but not a masterpiece by any means.
@@flouserschird It says alot about the state of gaming that gamers are praising this slop, mind numblingly repetitive missions with 0 variety whatsoever, the devs have no idea how to make a well paced interesting varied levels

Played about half way thru,the controls are clunky and the melee attacks are slow,the graphics are nice though.
"I hate cutscenes in my story driven game."
Nobody whos played games for 30 years thinks this way, because cutscenes were always our reward for completing a section of the game.
Its so burned into our brains that there have been studies which show that cutscenes trigger the same emotional response in players as winning contests/getting given prizes etc.
What you are is a tourist, hoping to ride a contrarian opinion to hit that sweet algorithm juice. Instead you got your rectum shattered into a thousand pieces when people called you out for it.
And just like the ever predictable tourist, your instinctual response with any kind of criticism you face for giving an opinion on something you know nothing about is to blame the people who know far more than you do about it.

When someone says star citizen is a good game, a refutation might be telling them that a company that asks players to pay $25,000 dollars for a space ship that doesn't exist inside a game which also doesn't exist is widely accepted as a sign of a bad videogame design.
@@bahamut256 and all 3 things you said were a lie.
1. I know what it means
2. Star Citizen is a shit game. A shit tech demo at best.
3. They're not selling a ship ror $25k
Again. Please just stop.
My man you cannot take criticism, can you?
One of the cheapest games ive ever played imo. Ive never seen so much artificial difficulty and rubber banding ever. The game is either made incompetently or made artificially difficult to sell microtransactions. I DO NOT WANT QTE EVER. Bash me all you want I wont respond.
14:57 What you refuse to understand is this game wasn’t made to compete with other online games ,it’s just a fun game u can always go back to. U just buy the game have fun and that’s all
Man, you have no idea how much of a shrugface you cause by saying "cutscenes" are too much. For true Warhammer fan it is lore and it is one of the best part of story the game. On the other hand if cutscenes persist even after story in end game. Then f that. Dunno. I love WH universe and lore but gameplay and camera work made me refund the game. Also no wide screen support. This is not 1999 anymore.
07:00 made me sad. Even Lost Ark had nice massive battle gameplay in story. It should be made glorious in game also...
Wide screen support is coming in the next season
@seregatanner373 i will keep an eye on the game for sure. Just right now it doesn't hit me the way i want. Managed to avoid cyberpunk 2077 spoilers for a year after launch while waiting for it to be sorted, can manage this one too. I hope it is gonna be expanded.
Hi there,
I do agree that the game is not the best game ever but I genuinely perceived it as beyond average and even though I do agree with some of your points, some of them are unfair.
First: weapons. You stated that sniper was pretty much unusable/useless because of the map size. Snipers are designed in a specific way in this game, they are not here for crowd control, they have so few munitions that you have to make them count, snipers are designed to treat elite targets such as Neurothrope, Ravener, Lictor, etc. and deal them great damage. Same goes for melee weapons, some are designed for crowd control such as the hammer and the chainsaw sword, knife is more designed for duels, light and heavy attacks must be use accordingly to the situation, doing an heavy attack at the wrong time will cost you, it's not as braindead as you make it and understanding what you can and can't do with each weapon is essential as you up the difficullty.
Secondly, execution are not only here to gave some cool moves but are actually part of a greater design. As you up the difficullty you understand the importance of executing enemies at the right time and even preparing one or two to have some shield recharge when needed during a swarm for example, you have to make them count ; they also provide a break time during a complicated situation and let you analyze for you next move.
Thirdly, cutscenes. They are not as present as you say, you choosed a specific case at the end of the game where they are seconds apart (in bad faith ?). They're OK during the game.
Fourthly, operation mode. In this mode you are a side squad assisting Titus, the main character of the campaign mode, for his mission, that's why they look like campaign missions (for the better and the worse). That mode is built like every other squad vs swarm games, you do them to unlock better tier equipment to face greater difficulty and so on but to enjoy them you must understand combat mechanics/design to feel the joy of beating the difficulty by placing yourself better, analyzing the situation better, etc. (like every other horde game) ; dealing with greater difficulty makes the game more enjoyable (with a great squad).
For the rest I pretty much agree, the game is overpriced, the content in operation mode light, FOV setting would have been appreciated and PVP is not the best (even so you can have some fun moments in it) ; for those who know the game World War Z, it's pretty close to it but with more depht imo (same studio afterall).
Not going to downvote or insult you, it’s your honest opinion. However, SM 2 is probably one of the most polished games I’ve played this year. I would also argue that it does what it sets out to do despite it not breaking any ground. I do agree the weapon variety could be stronger but I certainly wouldn’t call the game “mediocre”. It never ever claimed to be in the likeness of Helldivers 2, yet it gets bashed because it’s not that style of gameplay? It sounds like you just don’t like narrative driven campaigns.
Calling it "narrative driven" is a bit of a stretch.
I do. That's why Im replaying rdr2 right now.
Combat mechanics suck , the space marine feels light and not like a walking tank , ranged enemies hit you every time and ranged combat is garbage , PvP is literally worthless , lack of weapons and attacks feel not heavy. Games beautiful but man objectively speaking it’s not a great game in terms of actual gameplay . We’ve had masterpieces the last few years so we know what those look like .
@@GrumpyEyeGaming Are you also upset RDR2 isn't helldivers 2?
The presentation is awe inspiring, but the gameplay is definitely mid.
How could the melee be improved? It's meant to be simple and there is no need for it to have tekken level combos. And I don't know what you expected with the different melee weapons either, you said that the only difference between the weapons was the speed of the attacks, but isn't that all melee weapons work in video games? You also said that the missions are just walking from cutscene to cutscene, but that is also how most story missions in games work, you can also skip all of them. I agree with the gun variety, almost all of the guns look and feel the same.
Sorry for my english btw
But it's not simple and it robs the immersion. It's a dumb attack+counter game. It's lame. In the first game, you felt like an unstoppable killing machine. I HATE these kill cam scripted events, cut scenes, and combo+combo+combo your way to the next cut scene.
This guy says Destiny 2 pvp and Star Citizin are peak, and compared this game to Starfield.
This is a simple, fun game that delivered what was advertised. You misunderstood what the game was, and wanted an overly complex system. You may think its mid, but thats what most would call your opinion on this game.
This is why not everyone should be a game reviewer.
@@jordanevans9526 hell even most game reviewers shouldn’t be game reviewers
The game is mid. Don't be a snowflake
No. It's an upgrade to the first Space Marine. @@louisvf
Your opinion makes me agree with you I guess. Not everyone should review game reviewers. Because reality will keep the system in balance. If he is not good, then he will not get subs or likes and he will get the hint. Its negative and non helpful comments like this that ruin the internet. Learn to write a comment. Your statement is below 5th grade level on Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level scale. So how about when you try to spread hate you actually do it more effectively?
Well, at the end of the day, a game reviewer is just one's opinion on the content of the game. It's not some written gospel that needs to be taken as objective fact.
Honest review but with a lack of knowledge, I think you should first learn about the game as well as the game's world and story, it will make the review more objective and accurate.
There's a justification people subconsciously do when they've hyped a game and then spent $100 on it, they need to create an illusion together that it's awesome. That way they don't have to admit they're out of touch with gaming choices.
I knew far ahead that this game would be mid at best, I think for myself and I'm glad I didn't waste money getting caught up in hype.

@@s.muller8688 who said I like it
Space Marine One made me feel like an angel of death, I was boots-on-the-ground from game start to finish, all the guns kick arse and I do mean all of them, hand weapons had weight to them and punished enemies hard, I could use a storm bolter as my main weapon in parts of the games, execution moves required some button bashing, and yet, just the right amount for in-game satisfaction; Titus was cocky af, brimming with confidence, massive swagger...but he's not a dick. Vet. Sgt. Sidonus and Titus have that time-served banter like good mates ; Orks or brutal and hammy at the same time, chaos were demonic, yet had sleazy bad-boy energy dripping with purple hues, Space Marine one was like "Days of our lives: repelling an Ork invasion"...
Space Marine two on the other hand all the Guns are underpowered, hand weapons aside from the Chainsword aren't satisfying to use, Titus is treated like a piece of sh*t/possible traitor through most of the game which blatantly forced, Titus is a dour character, where's the anger from a wrongful decision made 200 years prior, some of the Primaris Marines in the game are... quite bitchy, with a lot side eye going on, the Tyranids are very detached enemy types, they're a dopamine hit that diminishes, they have zero depth, Dawn of War 2 handled the war against Chaos and the 'Nids to save a planet much better... I digress; I expected much more for what I paid, hell I paid 23.93 gbp for Path of Exile 2 in early access and I've not made it past the 2nd act [of six] due to watching several builds vids [on youtube] for my in game path Ascendency subclass, creating mains, alts, loot and material farming, boss grinding, loads of co-op games I've clocked in at 92 hours and I be well over 100 hours before 2024 ends, Space Marine 2 I got and was done after 31.6 hours for 54.99gbp... that is not good.
Thank you for this honest review. It hits my point of view pretty good. I already thought I am alone because everyone is hyping this mediocre (at best) game. I guess I am not the target audience any more.
It's a great looking game, I'm certain that if you love 40k it's right up your street but to be honest it's basically GoW lite, the combat is really samey and there just weren't enough memorable bosses, it could have done with stealing the GoW cover system to make it more interesting, basically felt like I was playing a beautiful cinematic, I love the volume of enemies just feel like they could have done better gameplay-wise with such a rich IP that's actually based on a game.
My problem is, I just finish Black Myth Wukong. Transition from Wukong to SM2... I just can't get into it. Wukong gameplay, combat and graphic is so good make SM2 feels so clunky and oudated. However, it is good that others can enjoy it.
Graphics are smallest problem of SM2. They are ok, nothing to complain about
"Who would play this when you can play Marvel or Overwatch?"
Holy shit when i tell yall I genuinely had a deep belly laugh after that. Saber Interactive knew the fanbase it was making this game for and its clear as day it paid off. Us warhammer fans dont want or need the next greatest thing, we just want somethint solid. Thats why DoW is STILL to this day being played. This guy is literally the soyjack meme.
My biggest gripe is the keyboard/mouse controls. It was obviously designed for a controller.
change them...
"The amount of loading screens and fades to black are worse that Starfield". I'm tuning out here. I tried to hear you out and let you get your opinion out there but already this is all in bad faith. Literally can't take you seriously when you say hyperbolic nonsense. You're entitled to your opinion but it's actually wrong. Cry me a River "oh I won't even make my money back on this video. I wasted $100." Smh.
Idk if this video is a troll and I just tuned out before you said "gotcha" but if not, I plead with you. Don't try this whole "I'll get attention for disliking the popular thing" meta. You'll just get views from hate watchers. And it'll just further perpetuate the idea that you can actually be successful by hating on things people like. If you really don't like it, don't make a video about it. Just make videos on things you do like. You'll be much more successful that way. Literally every channel I'm subscribed too that focuses on positive content has continued growth. It's actually really cool to see. And I have watched negative channels like "What culture" and "Dreamcast guy" stagnate and lose viewers just because they only post negative content hating on things or complaining. Just some friendly advice.
Bro said "EA made the graphics, ubisoft made the gameplay"🤣🤣🤣🤣gtfo with your nonsense, what ea pr ubisoft games are you referring to? i was trying to find some positives in ypur opinions but that sentence just killed all your credibility

@@sterlingarcher265 Yes. Because that was the in thing when the first game was made. This game is sequel to the first game, made to be a sequel, made for fans of the first game. Period. It wasn't made for people expecting Helldivers and Metal Gear Solid to screw and make a baby .

Not a fanboy, this is my second Warhammer game I played after vermintide 2. Space marine 2 made me really nostalgic. It's a great game, the campaign could've been a little longer but everything else I think is perfect.
Really loved this review. It covered exactly what I need to know that other reviewers like to skirt around. Are there different weapons? do they feel different? Game play gets boring? how boring? why? What are the different levels like? Very detailed and I appreciate the honesty.
40K lore is pretty interesting but to be honest I'm pretty wary of the IP in gaming at this point.
40K has such cool lore, so it's sad to see it be cursed with so many boring games. Hopefully SM2 improves in the following months cause I still do enjoy it from time to time despite its many flaws.
Have you actually played doom3??? Like, doom3`s rooms are waaaay smaller than those of this game. I agree that weapons are lack of variety. It`s like SMG, Sniper rifle, Shotgun(melta), energy rifle and rifle type 1 type 2 type 3 type 4. But if you played CO-OP mode, I highly doubt that this variety does not make every class feel special. I wish more for this game, but eeeeeh... you are not lying but exaggerating things.
Im enjoying it.
But it is a one trick pony game
Mediocre is the best word to describe it. An okay 6 or 7 out of 10 game with some cool 40k and astartes moments.
None of these people would be defending this game if it wasn't 40k. The game is the worst unreleased game of 2009
I agree. I’m baffled by all the hype for this game. I’m a big warhammer fan and also a gamer. I found this game boring and not once looked forward to putting it on
As a follow up to Space Marine 1, I think it’s great.
As a replacement for Helldivers 2, not so much. I never expected it to be like Helldivers.
Well you are correct, it was never supposed to replace helldivers 2. And my condolences for having to deal with arrowhead
You are a bad gamer, just complaining!!! You say that you can't play as a Sniper effectively. Sniper is overpowered, you can activate camouflage every few seconds (depending on your perks) and can have infinite ammo, killing all elites while leaving minors to bots or other players.
I haven't played it, but the furious glazing of this game has made me hold off on buying it. Seems to be seriously lacking in content, and the PvP looks very boring. I think there's a great foundation here, but I am going to wait for some more content and updates. I am hearing many more dissenting opinions on it as time goes on and the initial hype wears off. Been burnt WAY too many times by these types of games.
Agree.
Most of the complaints about the game are a mixture of too many expectations while also making mistakes in combat and complaining that the "game is bad". One example is people stating the game needs more variety of enemy types and weapons. The reality is the devs did not expect the game to do as well as it has. So though they had plans for new stuff that is still underway, they also now can add even more to the game. There is also the fact that everything they do has to go through GW who have a lot of stipulations on what can and cannot be added. Something as simple as adding another enemy faction requires GW approval which it has been made clear will not be easy to convince them unless there is massive support from fans to do it. That is just one example of how limited the devs were due to GW being protective of the franchise.
Honestly, the only real complaint I have about the game right now is with matchmaking as it occasionally bugs out when connecting to other players and the matchmaking does not queue you up as the current class you are playing. These issues are not enough to stop me from enjoying the game and are relatively simple issues that can be fixed. I would easily give this game an 8/10 which could go even further if the devs continue to deliver on updates..
it just seems like another hack n slash with some “cool kill scenes” like idk man these games are all starting to blend together in a very mediocre way.
I agree, for me game is disappointment. Campaign is 10-12h according to devs, I completed in about 8h, I rushed a bit. Campaign is good part of the game, but it is 1/5 of what it should be for $60+.
I was hoping so much for multiplayer, but in PVP melee is death sentence, everyone is so slow that if you are caught away from cover, you are dead. in PVE everything is slow, you are either running or you are swarmed. All this on 6 maps, where some can take over 1h to complete.
If we dont count for WH fans, this game will drop like a rock in 2 weeks, no matter what devs promise
let's meet here again in 2 weeks lol! curious to hear what you have to say then
So the game is best for people with friends do you think? I’m debating on getting the game but I don’t have anyone to play with and I’m unsure if it’s great to play on my own?

I fully agree with the 7 hour campaign being mediocre in length. Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade had better PVP and it was free to play. Arguably was even more fun, it died in 2021 but some people are still hosting servers if you want to play for free and not spend $60 same stuff if you wanna do PVP. Paying $60-$100 for a 7 hour campaign is a scam. Paying that much just for 1-2 good cutscenes at most with the rest being half ass MMO grade cutscenes and the "LORE" is absurd. You could easily watch 7 hours of animated Warhammer 40k series and lore on youtube and get more knowledge and enjoyment than playing this half effort recycled game. On top of that when it comes to a lot of armor, it looks like it was textured to be in World of Warcraft. The game feels like it was made in 2018 but just added more blur and ambient occlusion and a bunch of flying creatures swarming in the air. This game should have been $40 at most with no $100 preorder version. This game is more of a money grab than Star Citizen itself.
Preach!
Idk about the comparison though.. at least there is a game here.. Star Citizen is just a cash grab, without the game

I wouldn’t say the game is mediocre. I’d say it’s above mediocre but obviously not a masterpiece.
Coop is fun, but they need to give xp for actually killing enemies and not just for completing it. They also need more missions.
Campaign was amazing, and I really enjoyed it. Hope they have a DLC coming out soon for it, but it’s not really necessary if they don’t either.
PvP is where the mediocre really kicks in and why the game is still not a masterpiece. Need to implement an actual parrying system or a blocking system for certain classes against melee (just like in coop). Some classes are really OP and there’s not much you can do against them unless if your clueless team finally notices and decides to help you. Need more pvp game modes and more importantly, a better rewards system for pvp. It’s insane how boring the pvp is when you don’t get anything for your hard work. The only thing you get out of pvp as a newer player is cosmetics and weapons. I played a lot of coop before pvp so I unlocked all the cosmetics for my classes, and now only get weapons for them in pvp every 6-7 games (sometimes more depending on wins/loses). Wish they had ability perks like in coop or weapon skill points to tune them up to your liking.
Edit: they also need to add more content for the heretics side. I hate playing on that side due to the fact it’s so bland and there’s nothing for them unlike the space marines.
Idk why people are saying this is an L take. This is one of my most anticipated games of all times. Ive enjoyed it....but theres many issues:
1a. The melee combat is clunky (or maybe poorly explained?). For a hack and slash...why is there no block? Theres only a parry system which you get HEAVILY punished for if you mess up on pretty much any difficulty, which is problematic because youre constantly swarmed but also....
1b. You'll be engaged in melee but being shot with pinpoint accuracy from ranged Tyranids (which can shoot through other tyranids) and do massive damage
2. The god damn loading screens (mainly because of the unnecessary hub which was absent from the first game). Im playing on PS5 and the downtime is crazy. Especially if theres disconnects.
3. On PS5 you can only use the painfully slow cursor in menus
4. The game is very grindy for operations mode. If you want to even attempt higher difficulties to have more fun, youre hard pressed doing so underpowered
5. The balancing of classes is off in operations. Particularly the assault class. Some classes are just handicapped without their ability, and cant do much against ranged threats like neurothropes and zoanthropes.
6. I know horde mode is coming, but very surprising this wasnt in at launch
7. PvP is mid...idk how you could say otherwise. Emphasis on mid....not bad....too many peope interpret "mid" as "bad".
I like the game, solid 7/10, and I would recommend. But im not delusional. I think this game is trying to be Darktide with no block, medicae stations, or sufficient ways to heal.
Oh and additionally: The plot is the EXACT SAME as the 1st game. Literally the exact same. Its so similar that even Titus is trying to prevent the exact same thing from happening again (and it still does lool).
Honestly dark tide was no beuno to me
This game was 9/10 to me and I may never play Helldivers 2 again
Thank you for this, these are my exact thoughts
Bad ragebait. 0/10

Had fun, still having fun, will probably continue to have fun. If they make SM3 in a year or two with this basic formula but better in every way I'll be satisfied.
The campaign is something you play for that cinematic experience. Yes, there's a lot of cutscene segments but I never felt like it was too much. Only thing that bothers me with cinematics is that I think they should auto skip in operations when every player has seen them at least three times. Leave an option to disable auto skip in the options for those that want to see them every time, but auto skip should be enabled by default after viewing the same cutscene the first 3 times imo.
I don't know what you mean about the audio, you didn't exactly elaborate on that. I didn't notice any issues but I'm not really an audiophile.
Voice acting unintelligible...? Come on now. But, I can see what you mean about the character voices sounding similar, at least.
You mentioned graphics, but you didn't call out the optimization?
Story of SM2 and Helldivers 2 is cringe, apparently? I dunno what you were expecting or what you mean by that. Helldivers is over the top on purpose, while this game is basically power fantasy ultramax edition.
You're probably right about the PVP not being able to keep this game alive on its own for an extended period of time. The hype will die down eventually, but I think most people will remember this one as one of the good ones.
I fully agree Helldivers banning countries was a terrible move, and Sony (not the devs as you claim) deserves all the criticism for that. Arrowhead's made some questionable decisions since Helldivers 2's launch, but that was out of their control. Worth noting that a few individuals on the dev team seemed to support Sony's decision at the start, though. The removal of the PSN account requirement was nothing more than the wool being pulled over the community's eyes, as those countries remain banned to this day. That's certainly a bigger bad guy move than having to make some burner account. Massive L on Sony.
I tried googling "Saber Interactive Firing" and "Saber Interactive Controversy" but all I could find was the studio splitting from Embracer Group, a singular writer being fired, and some statement from the CEO about imposing morals in video games.

Hey man, I don’t understand why people are slamming you, I think you are 100% right, to a T. I’m not even finished the campaign mode and I’m considering stopping playing the game. I’m not comparing it to Helldivers 2 (there is no comparison, HD2 is so much better that it’s in a different category), but it LITERALLY made me go back to playing HD2 last night instead of playing this brand new game.
I think fanboys love the concept and are loyal to the concept, and not grading this game on its own merits. If it didn’t have the allure of WAR HAMMER, people would not be defending it.
Also, the graphics of the big scenes are good, yeah, but the graphics of the characters, even in the cut scenes, are average. The main characters face looks Exactly Like the graphics from Gears of War from 10 years ago. They concentrated WAY too much on the glory of scale to create HORDES that they didn’t focus on the fighting for any unique touch points throughout.
If I could get my money back I would.
Super disappointing game.
It’s because warhammer fanboys are the worst people and don’t want people dissing their only love

You sound like a tourist anyway, so it's no big deal. Is ok little Heratic we forgive you 🙏
100% accurate.
I agree. It’s a lame, claustrophobic, repetitive, clunky mess of boring, unbalanced and predictable hype. There’s no co-op matchmaking for the campaign, yet there’s matching making for the other game modes. Why? The PoV is horrid and unadjustable. The dodge/parry mechanics are mindless. Why have giant, random visual cues to parry some attacks when nearly all attacks can be parried? Dumb. They should toss that and just keep the visual cues for unblockable attacks. Whatever…
I’ll begrudgingly finish the game just so I can 100% confirm my extremely valid opinion that Space Marine 2 is a brainless, boring sleepfest.
This guy is a clown cries the game is boring wanted hell divers instead says there’s to many cut scenes magin giving exposition idk mybe I just became a warhammer fan boy over the past week but I would recommend this game easy 8/10
Sounds like Warhammer is not your kind of thing. It's ok just don't touch it.
I know this game has some updates planned, but I don't think it's aiming to be a live service in the way something like Destiny 2 is.
Either way, I'm loving it myself. I just want to bust Xenos heads together, and I find the combat satisfying in a way that Helldivers isn't. I just wish the A.I. teammates weren't fucking useless.
It was never advertised as live service game either.
The AI teammates useless ? They are everything but useless, in fact they are pretty OP, they'll take little to no damage in every combat situation, stick close to you and take down hordes rather easily all this with no supply consumption meaning you have everything for yourself, they also revive you very quickly, the only problems come with mini bosses and bosses, while they can be very good against a Lictor (invisible guys) and the burying guys by taking agro they don't do anything against the flying head duos which are a real pain
@@Stormyy6310 Yeah, they're fine against the smaller enemies but like you said, they're no good when it comes to bosses (God help you if you're playing a Bulwark and Zoanthropes show up) or dealing with objectives, which I imagine will become more and more of an issue as you move up in difficulty. Also, the enemies tend to ignore your A.I. teammates, so all those elites/bosses will be gangbanging you while your team watches on.
Well then, looks like a 30$ game at best !
@@Zeegoku1007 Do what works for you.
Says ur locked in super small maps but shows a gigantic staircase 5:35 In the first game they were smaller and the combat was even more simplified but the game was still hella fun, I really don't get what's wrong with the combat much better than 70% of games. Mybe not Dmc or Bayonetta level but it's still a great hack and slash shooter.
Sorry you lost your “right” streak, nobody is perfect though it’s alright
@@cow5183 have I though? The game lost more than 50% of it's playerbase in a month. Wukong has more players than sm2
4 million space Marines! Yeah!
Also 50% when helldivers lost 90% yet there game was fun. So stats aren't everything mate
