I've heard that GW has gotten greedier and greedier over the years, but how have they gone woke?

.... they literally just had a article they published lecturing about fascism and the imperium isn't too be held up as heroes. Don't wizards of the coat style purges of social media and events of wrong think and courting wanting women players. Actively gone away from grim dark.

I'm not going to do the foot work if you've been oblivious for half a decade. There's plenty of 40k type meme pages on Facebook that would be glad to bring you up to speed on their heresy.

Loved Space Marine, day 1 purchase for me if it gets decent reviews.

There's quite a bit of WH40k games out there ( Every Warhammer 40,000 game, ranked ) but I still feel like it's an under-represented IP in gaming. Would love a strong story/squad shooter in the same vein as Mass Effect. I have no strong opinions on era / protagonist other than it'd probably be a mistake to let you play as or have control over Astartes. For a story driven shooter / rpg The Astartes are best kept at arms length where they can maintain their larger-than-life personas without cracking them with detail or over-exposure.

Something like a Xenos agent like John Grammaticus ( John Grammaticus - Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum ) or commisar like Ciaphas Cain ( Ciaphas Cain - Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum ) would be great.


Anyway, hyped for Space Marine 2.

The ENTIRE fuckin' industry has gone "woke", dude. Like, where the fuck have you been since GamerGate?

The ENTIRE fuckin' industry realized there's a lot more money to be made in gaming if you broaden your appeal beyond autistic friendless weirdos who are into the rough equivalent of nazi brony porn.

The Imperium have never been the good guys, that's part of the appeal of the setting. The rest sounds pretty fucking gay though.

Yeah, I forgot what a poor state gaming was in prior to GamerGate. That's a 147 IQ hot take, good point.

Of course they are. At least when it comes to memes and cracking jokes about brother getting the heavy flamer when there's a tranbo about.

It triggered then when black templars crusade motiff started getting applied to leftist shit.

Granted like some fandom corruptions, it hasn't just been the company. Many of the groups on Facebook, publications, tourney organizers etc are predominantly european and embrace the faggot inclusiveness stuff while heartedly and beat or ran off the others to where they have reddit like control. The based type of groups occasionally get infiltrated and then facebook reported into the hurty thoughts jail.

Yeah that's how they did the mains in the Inquisitor ARPG. They knew they couldn't make you a Space Marine. I own it, haven't played it in a while as it was TERRIBLE in the beginning and meh when "improved". (In my opinion, of course, as my prior critique of the original Space Marine game has gotten some thumbs down).

Of course they are.
There were no good guys in the 40K universe until the Tau and the introduction of a 'good guy' race got so much pushback that they got dirtied up quite a bit in the ensuing years. There's nothing new about the Imperium essentially being Space Nazis regardless of whether or not some newly woke faggots are trying to soapbox about it.

You are being autistic and letting the joke a few have made go over your head. We all know this. We all know its space nazis with a side helping of the spanish inquisition. I explain this no one good concept to people by explaining how an entire planet of people can get the death star treatment if they think theres too much chaos taken root.

The trailer looks like it's done in the same vein as the Astartes YouTube series. I know there was a big hullabaloo with games workshop over it, but I wonder if they ended up conscripting the creator to help make content for future projects, including this one.

The animation just seems so damn similar, and even the sound effects too, but maybe it's just me.

Anyways it looks awesome.

the hormagaunts being scared until the warrior yelled at them was cute. I really don't like the flat face of the new primaris-era helmets though, Aquila/Errant armor is just so much more of an iconic look.

He is the light guiding us through the darkness.
He is the sword that purifies the unclean.
He is the one who gives us salvation.
And for those who prove themselves worthy he will send his angels.

THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!

Take my money~

Loved the first game, got a little repetitive mid to end game though. Almost feel like space marines are played out, but if story is good I am down for another run.

Well we've got a year to wait so this thread is now the 40k circlejerk thread

I wasn't a huge fan of the gameplay of Dawn of War 2, but goddamn the story and cutscenes were boner inducing sometimes:
