    Dunno I hate space marine on principal...

    Seriously anything that heavy in bolter porn deserves to be put to the torch!

    Now if they had released a game like it for EACH faction I'd be a lot less peeved at them.

  2. There were supposed to be 2 more space marine games where Titus became a renegade marine and they got a bit darker and more brutal as it goes on

  3. Ghost Stories.
    An anime made to be a horror, but was totally crap.

    So when they came to dubbing it they told the English actors that they could say what they wanted as long as it fitted the lip-movements and generally followed the plot.

    As a result it produced a superior comedy.

    Nice highlight reel by the way!

    They should rename that show to "I can't believe it's not abridged"
    But no Eldar?
    GTFO.
    Isn't that nice? Something shitty paved the way for something beautiful.

    I really don't see this, you can't even take cover in Space Marine.
    Yes this game has the screams of dying Eldar, and that's a huge boon.
  6. I'm not saying SM was perfect gameplay wise but it looked better and played better for me.
  7. Looks about the same to me but with a lot less going on in a totally complete game, plus it still does the "host migration" thing a lot. It's also got imbalanced weapons that will never, ever be addressed.

    I hear a couple people say this, I just don't see it.
  8. *Shrug*
    I prefer how the game moves, feels and looks.
  9. Can't argue with feels and looks because that's subjective, but moves its straight up got less. Can't take cover, can't vault and the maps are way smaller and there aren't very many of them.

    I prefer the larger match sizes, the tactical options, the loadout system being more than straight weapons upgrades, more unit types, being able to kill xenos, and that they're still improving the content.

    The weapons in SM are perfectly balanced if you know how to counter them. EC's are not. Meltas are not all they're cracked up to be, and neither are ASM/Raptors.
    I'm sorry, what tactical options? There's nothing of the sort
    No, not all of the weapon upgrades in SM are straight upgrades, and you can do perfectly fine without them.
    The maps are far better designed rather than half of it consisting of certain classes playground/killing field with stupidly placed empty spaces, invisible walls and pits. Cover placement sucks too.
    The combat system is far far far better and more fluid.
    You can kill xenos in Exterminatus.
    You can fucking customise your dude with nothing more than perseverance, and work. No shekel grabbing there.
    Lack of cover increases the flow of the game rather than having supposedly fearless warriors hiding behind a box like pussies. It also keeps you on your toes for potential threats, therefore aiding the tactical skills of the player themselves.
    You can fucking mod the game.
    The plot isn't some massive impossible 4 way that somehow doesn't end with everyone getting nuked daily.
    The movement system is better, with no turning speed limits, a well designed system and being simple rather than rules within rules within rules. Also no sluggishness, leaving you open to death when you really shouldn't be.
    It's minimalist, rather than EC's clutter.

    Ad infinitum.
    EC is nothing more than extremely well polished shit.
