I have it but I only played a couple of hours, it was good but I’ve just become allergic to open world games. I find them a chore.
Yea, my big complaint is the open world games are really open world games and there is alot of extra shit.

Playing Space Marine 2, im not insulting or anything like that, buy why is Warhammer so big, especially over on your side of the pond?

40k is just really cool lore, it’s as simple as that. it’s decades of careful world building so there’s a lot to harvest from, as opposed to other pop culture stuff which is just razor thin source material endlessly remade.

It will be ruined one day by women and gays but it isn’t yet. There are female only factions and everybody thinks they are cool because they are organically written and nerds don’t actually hate women in their games, they just hate shit Mary sue women forced in.

There's another video by a pair of Japanese students who go through trailers and point out the hundreds of glaring inaccuracies in the translations and aesthetic nonsense as well as the graphics errors like swords not lining up with sheaths and AI copypasta structures that have stairs leading up to walls. It's super annoying because they're Japanese and sound like anime characters. This one is more about the Japanese govt clapdown on the game.

It depends what type of sci fi you like most,

There’s the on the ground normal soldier stuff, there’s a cool inquisition type thing, then there’s the big crazy stuff.

The central thing is the most interesting imo, the emperor of mankind. The lore is that he was born in ancient times, he’s an ordinary man but an extremely powerful physic who can see all futures and there’s only one where humanity survive and he’s obsessed with realising that path (it’s stolen from Dune) and he does everything to get there, it’s implied he was all these figures in human history like Alexander the Great, Da Vinci etc. sometimes he leads, sometimes he blends in anonymously, in ~30k warhammer he has to take the form of a giant golden emperor god to conquer the galaxy, though he despises it, and he’s betrayed by his son, crippled and placed on a golden throne which sustains him as a corpse god who is in constant unending agony for 10,000 years - the throne is essential for human survival and in warhammer, worshipping something gives it power, and he’s been worshipped by trillions of people and is now almost completely insane and powerful beyond all measure.

For the first time in 10k years in universe and decades in real life he communicated directly with someone recently, and it’s really cool.

Coldness. That was the defining sensation of his meeting with the Emperor. Infinite, terrible coldness.

He had approached the meeting with dread, fearing what he would find. Would his father be dead? Would he be insane? Would they even be able to talk? When he had been admitted to the throne room and approached the Golden Throne, he had done so as he had approached his foster father Konor's funeral, willing it all to be right, drowning in certain grief. Between the time of the Emperor's ascension to the throne and Guilliman's own death, the Emperor had spoken to no one. How could anything have persisted for ten thousand years, he had thought. There was the wizened corpse surrounded by banks of groaning machinery. His sword upon His knee. Sorrow suffused everything. The sacrifice required to keep the Emperor alive sickened the primarch. If He were alive. He appeared dead. Guilliman had expected nothing.

But He spoke.

With words of light and fire, the Emperor had conferred with His returned primarch, the last of his finest creations.

A creation. Not a son.

The living Emperor had been an artful being, as skilled at hiding His thoughts as He was at reading those of others. What remained of Him was powerful beyond comprehension, but it lacked the sublety he had had whilst He walked among men. Speaking with the Emperor had been like conversing with a star. The Emperor's words burned him.

What hurt most deeply was what went unsaid.

The Emperor greeted Guilliman not as a father receives a son, but as a craftsmen who rediscovers a favourite tool that he thought lost. He behaved like a prisoner locked in an iron cage who is passed a rasp.

Guilliman had no illusions. He was not the man who brought the rasp; he was the rasp.

While the Emperor had walked abroad, He had cloaked His manipulations in love. He had let His primarchs call Him father, He had let them call themselves His sons. He had rarely spoken those words Himself, Guilliman now realised, and when He had He had done so without sincerity. Buffeted by the full might of the Emperor's will unclothed in flesh, a cloak had been ripped from Guilliman's eyes.

The Emperor had allowed them to love Him, and to believe He loved them in return. he had not. His primarchs were weapons, that was all.

Though his power was immense, perhaps greater than it had been before He ascended, the Emperor's humanity was all but gone. He could no longer mask His thoughts with a human face. The Emperor's light was blinding, all encompassing, but finally - finally - Guilliman had seen it as a whole. The being he had thought of as a father could hide nothing from him.

The Emperor did not love His sons. They were things. Guilliman, all his brothers, were nothing but a means to an end.


I think it’s great, I really enjoy it. It’s just Dune but better.

Nobody would care if they presented it as faggy woke nigger love, but they want people to begin to associate niggers with Japanese history unironically.

I really liked it, appreciate the wind mechanic instead of an arrow telling you where to go. Wish it had a bit more stealth mechanics since that 's how I played the game.

I liked it but I’m just done with open world formulaic games, I just want lineal cool stories, some open world is okay but I basically think bioshock is still unbeatable to this day.

I also liked those OG open world games like morrowind where you had to invest yourself and literally read diaries and maps to figure out where to go, they made them user friendly with arrows pointing where to go and prompts for what to do and it took away the charm. I will get around to playing breath of the wild at some point on my switch because I’m told it’s more retro and like that, but I just can’t summon the will power to spend my free time gaming. I need long, long stretches before getting the desire back. I can’t understand people who live to game.

Did you play Sekiro at all?

That game kicked my ass, made it up to the last boss and quit.

I’m not a fan of those games, the last single player games I really enjoyed are those PlayStation ones, Heavy Rain, Two Souls, Detroit being human.

They move at a good pace, increasing game time by making you learn the perfect routine to beat a boss after 200 attempts is aids for me.

Bioshock is still my GOAT single player.
