Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition

It is Space Marine, with somewhat better graphics and pretty much all the flaws of the original. Ultimately, it is great if you love and adore the game, genuinely. I personally always had a strange love-hate relationship with it. My controversial opinion is that, the last time I played the original, two years ago, felt definitively like it would be the last time I would play the game (I have played it about 7 times over the years since release and the first, was in fact, on release) and still enjoy it, and I was entirely right. Deep down, I hate how Space Marine plays. Its mind numbingly dull, its environmentally faithful to the setting but utterly boring, every mission feels like backtracking even when it isn't due to the complete lack of spirit and soul in the setting. Thematically it feels like Dawn of War 1's initial campaign, but with the drastically inferior Ultrasmurfs instead of Blood Ravens, but all on maps that are more or less the first two levels of Firewarrior. What the game does right is the writing and even then, the story takes about 5 hours to become passable and is only truly great and endearing in the final three or so. Even then, this time around, I found myself unable to justify playing it any longer on account that the game is utterly unfun to me, especially compared to how tremendously superior Space Marine 2 is. A lot of my problems with Space Marine comes down to the fact that it actually does have good characters, iconic ones even, especially with the set up and pay off they have in 2, but they are all held back by being Ultrasmurfs. In every way, this game continuing the tradition of 40k games being Blood Raven centric, would have drastically improved it. Ultimately, it is what it is, a byproduct of the beginning of the end of my favourite 40k era. Still, I have so many fond memories of the game. Nowadays we have Darktide, even Hired Gun, as well as the extremely cool Boltgun, etc, to put us into the universe of the 41st millennia. And with Space Marine 2 out and about and doing extremely well, it is really hard to pick this up for anything but nostalgia. But ultimately, nostalgia is the only thing that had me buy it *again* at full price. Is the game bad? Of course not. Is it good? For a 40k game, its an early masterpiece considering how cursed the franchise is with breaking out of the isometric perspective genres of games. But it is certainly, drastically, far more poor in every sense than most other iterations of the setting. The far more approachable and traditional, game format did introduce many to the 40k setting however and ensured that Relic heard our prayers for more games. So really, buying, supporting and playing this game did have tremendous benefit for the hobby and the IP all around. But I assure you, almost none of the people who became 40k fans because of this game are painting Ultrasmurfs right now. It is such a rich and decadent setting and truly, it being Ultrasmurfs and Orkz sells it so terribly bad. The game itself was dated in every regard when it came out and even remastered, it shows its age terribly. A game where rather than being a moving piece of battlefield cover, you still find yourself hiding behind waist high walls or just retreating like a ♥♥♥♥♥ from simple engagements. The game mechanics encourage you to fight the Orkz head on, but punish you severely for doing so. Forcing you to play the game in the worst way possible, like Gears of War but without an actual cover system. So yes, without the 40k setting, characters and sauce, this game would be completely irredeemable. So I must say, yes, it is a good 40k game but an extremely below average game overall. Can I recommend it to hardcore fans or newcomers? Not at all, this remaster is for those of us who played the original with friends for hours upon hours. For those who were so happy to finally get a more accessible game in the mainstream. But really, its a stale bread full of chemistry only us nostalgic fools can tolerate and even then, I could not bring myself to play it more than a handful of sessions. The cutscenes and final third of the plot is good, I highly recommend you simply watch them on youtube and hop straight into the immensely, vastly superior Space Marine 2. I insist on this fact actually, just play Space Marine 2. I actually greatly enjoyed Hired Gun in comparison to Space Marine, remaster or otherwise. I do really enjoy the protagonist and Leandros, however. Some of the Chaos designs are peak too. I think a lot of my disillusionment also comes from the fact that I absolutely, completely and utterly hate Orkz (love the memes tho) and even though my favourite character in this game IS an Ork, my life long loyalty to Craftworld Eldar has meant that I internalized a lot of xenophobia toward the Monkeigh and the Greenskins. 99% of my deaths were to Bomb Squigs, which just further concretes how much I hate Orkz and hearing "WAAAAGHHH" obnoxiously every few minutes made the first two thirds of the game nauseating to play. Space Marine, its a terrible game, but I loved it! Once, long ago. And it may now catch dust and cobwebs on my steam library now, but I will remember its glory and what it did for 40k. And now, we live in a world where we can reap the benefits of the seeds it sowed. Heretical or otherwise.

-Schlecht optimiert -Wenig Grafik Optionen -Schattenbugs eine Linie vor dem Charakter, irgendwas mit DirectX API, kein Plan, fixt euer Game! -Sound Delay Gespielt mit einer Radeon 7900xtx, konnte keinen Spaß haben obwohl ich wollte -Poorly optimized -Few graphics options -Shadow bugs—a line in front of the character; something to do with the DirectX API; no idea—fix your game! -Sound delay Played on a Radeon 7900XTX; couldn't enjoy it even though I wanted to

Feels like a lazy cash grab. Would have slayed if remastered using the Space Marine 2 engine with SM2 controls and mechanics, or even as a SM2 DLC. Remastered using the SM2 engine AND adding some enemies to the long empty bombed out corridors would have been chef's kiss. No tangible difference between this and the anniversary edition. If you don't have the anniversary edition, grab this on a Steam 75% off sale and enjoy a pleasant diversion for a few hours. Mechanics are different enough that you'll die trying to parry when the SM2 parry mechanic isn't present, so be ready for that.

Few things in life are as satisfying as swinging a chainsword into an Ork's face in the Emperor's name.

Je n'ai jamais vu une merde pareille, des problèmes pour reconnaitre un clavier ????? Apres des heures pour régler ce problème, un énorme décalage entre le son et l'image en vf. Si vous voulez faire ce jeu, prennez l'anniversary Edition.

Merk weinig verschil tussen deze en de anniversay editie. Terwijl deze constant frame drops heeft bij elke nieuwe gebied of moment in het spel wat enorm storend is. Speel niet deze editie maar de basis game, geen aanrader

Заскриптовано до идиотизма. Попытались скрестить шутер и слешер - получилась соевая биомасса в которую неудобно и неприятно играть.
