Because /v/ and Veeky Forums fucking suck, this thread is for the newest 40k vidya where you play as an Inquisitor, build a retinue join a cabal (guild), and purge the unclean.
The game kinda sucks since it's in early access but fuck it's 40k so I spent my shekels on it
>The game kinda sucks since it's in early access but fuck it's 40k so I spent my shekels on it You are a good goy like me. I have bought like every Warhammer game ever released (bar the extremely shitty mobile ones) hoping for something good and to show GW that people do care. I'm just a sucker for their lore. Once in a while we get a DoW or Total War and it's all worth it (except DoW3 fuck this game).
Christian Perry
>open world >sandbox That makes me sad.
Landon Clark
>but fuck it's 40k so I spent my shekels on it So what? Go back to /v/
Jaxon Brooks
Looks like a tablet game.
Grayson Ramirez
>have bought like every Warhammer game >show GW that people do care It shows them that quality doesn't matter as people will gladly eat shit. DoW was awesome though, but 2004 was 13 years ago.
Asher Lewis
you're both right, but fuck if I haven't been willing to suck dick for a ME style Inquisitor game.
Asher Rodriguez
THIS,THIS, THIS.
James Fisher
>only game I can play as chaos is Fire Warrior Why don't they make chaos themed games? It's always "FOR THE EMPRAH!".
Angel Carter
You can get Fire Warrior to work? I wanted to go back and wallow in the hideousness but it's too ancient for my PC to hack it.
Michael Morgan
I believe I had to dl some fix, but it works on win8.1. there are some places where you have to reduce the resolution to minimum, because otherwise it crashes, but apart from that I had no problem.
Daniel Jones
You can kind of do it in Eternal Crusade, but that game kinda sucks.
Julian Reyes
Last time I played the only real difference was the color of the armor. It has no depth, I couldn't even maul the Slannesh follower running towards me instead of the corpse worshipers. (I was running towards them). It's like Battlefield game with a wh40k reskin.
Christian Jones
plasma guns are gay in that game, they need to fix them.
Brody Gonzalez
too many words in the title >implying i wont suck the endless cock of GW and buy it anyway
Hunter Kelly
I can't tell if Eternal Crusade is a cheap cash grab or an attempt at salvaging a cheap cash grab
Austin Long
The latter.
Mason Phillips
Its more miserable than both of them.
Brody Torres
Well, it had potential, and started good, I would say if not for the publisher's greed, it could have been great game. That's not gonna happen though, most of the people already got fed up with it and left, it has no marketing, and nothing that would set it apart from similar but "good" games like BF.
Brayden James
>, I would say if not for the publisher's greed, Developers were incompetent hacks who only made mobile games, did anyone expected good videogame from them?
Liam Hernandez
>employ inexperienced people because they ask for less Though looking at the new battlefront, the industry itself might have died. I can't remember when was the last time I played a game that I enjoyed through.
Brody Ross
It started out as something interesting. Then the developers realized every neck with a semblance of fuzz on it was going to buy it. So then they just stopped giving a shit and put it out.
Anthony Davis
Fuck that game. So mad at myself for giving into the hype of my retarded friends and buying it at full price when it was in some stupid alpha version early access.
Ethan Bell
That - and other GW-licensed stinkers - are why I'm furiously throwing buckets of water over my hype for this game so I won't be burned again.
Don't get me wrong, I really, really want it to be good; I'd just be insane to expect it.
Parker Reed
I'm certain Commander Keen would approve of 40k games being discussed on Veeky Forums.
Jaxon Williams
Quints haven't lied to me yet.
Josiah Thompson
Holy crap, I didn't even realize.
Julian Harris
>buying early access
You guys realize that giving them money before they finish the game diminishes the incentive to actually finish the game, right?
you do realize that you're the problem, right?
Oliver Thomas
>community-driven
So its a shitty under supported MMO which will lose all investments in 12-18 months. Like Warhammer Online, except without a studio, an Actual studio behind it.
Single player yes, multiplayer go fuck yourself
Benjamin Kelly
god I miss Warhammer Online
Brody Flores
MMO would be fine if a studio had the balls to go the way of Ultima or Eve Online. No rules, all your gear and loot is transitory, etc. Those games are fun because each death has real weight to it--thus, every fight is more exciting.
But no, we'll just get WoW clones until the end of time.
John Baker

Ian Taylor
Diablo wasn't a tablet game. If anything, your comment just shows how far mobile gaming has gone
Noah Ortiz
If you can't get the PC version to run you can emulate (the even worse) ps2 version
Angel Gonzalez
They are really mis-using those terms.
Basically, you choose a sector, system and planet to work in, accruing influence (rep?) on a track that offers rewards the higher you go.
Missions are procedural; investigations are missions where one leads into another, along with making decisions in a menu.
Actual levels are okay-ish sized arpg maps of various tilesets where you fight one of several enemy factions.
Henry Mitchell
I'm still figuring out the mission types. They really stress priority missions but Fate missions are what give big rewards?
Ryan Ramirez
I ain't got no clue, darlin. Still figuring that out too. There's fate and emperor's tarot? For big rewards I guess?
Christopher Garcia
We need a Veeky Forums Cabal. Ordo Malleus?
Henry Martin
Is (or rather, will there be) there an overarching storyline? I don't like just doing randomly generated crap forever.
Jose Kelly
There will be, they have a placeholder for future story missions in the UI. That's what fate missions are essentially from what I understand.
Priority missions are not quite story missions, but close. They boost your glory, but also let your RP your character by deciding how they handle investigations.
Luis Gomez
Dude Commander Keen would be great as a setting/vibe for a game. Only question now is, "Which system?"
Chase Miller
>See trailer.
>Was expecting it to be at least 50% of Helldivers.
>Beta footage out
>Nope, not even close, not even 10% of Helldivers.
If they let Arrowhead make a Warhammer/40k game it will be fucking awesome, these guys also love 40k.
Brody Kelly
>but fuck it's 40k so I spent my shekels on it Did you preorder DoW3 too?
Robert Perry
You can built a retinue?
Jayden King
>Why don't they make chaos themed games? Cash grabs or not these games rely on 40k popularity to make profits. Making Chaos themed game divides this popularity by three.
Luke Gomez
This game looked like garbage when it was first revealed and it still looks like garbage.
The art direction is great, sure, but they squander it. The animations are clunky and there's no weight to the attacks when they connect. Unless you are able to derive pleasure solely from big numbers popping up there's no satisfaction to actually playing the game.
Liam Edwards
To play devil's advocate, how much of that could be excused by it being in Alpha?
Sebastian Bell
None, games are released after a week in beta. Alpha means prerelease version now.
Aiden Campbell
In other words, you're saying it's pretty much done? Too late for any meaningful changes? It's all just rearranging the deckchairs at this point?
Carter White
Nothing at all. The game has been playable via paid access for months, and is now on Early Access. There have been no improvements to how the game feels in this time, and that is a crucial part of any Diablo-esq game. Especially one which is relatively high fidelity when it comes to the visuals.
They might make changes, but they've gone for so long without addressing this fundamental issue that I doubt they see it as a problem at all.
Christopher Young
Well that's a damn shame. Thanks, will avoid.
Ethan James
Not yet
Luis Howard
I bet more people hate loyalists than like them, just make game where you can pick your side, only being able to play LSM is probably a big turnoff for everyone else.
Hudson Foster
>I bet more people hate loyalists Seriously, dude?
Wyatt Barnes
Yes, I would put the Imperium at 40% with 25% being SM 10% being IG, certainly the LSMs are the most popular faction but no way it has more than half of the player base. Though neither you nor I have any statistics to back it up.
Juan Reed
>I bet more people hate loyalists than like them ADB, is that you?
Ayden Robinson
Loyalists are great. The only one who get hate are Ultramarines because of the wank
Bentley Taylor
Damn, that game was a blast, and even from top down the weight of every bullet shot was very much felt. Ty for reminding me of this little masterpiece.
Jaxon Moore
Ah, it's become a bait thread!
Jaxson Hall
Bait for the Bait God! (You)s for the (You) Throne!
Easton Smith
Well I agree and would also love a ME style Inquisitor game but let's consider what could happen >BioWare makes it >Every single waifu option is a sexy alium, probably intersex and polyamorous as well >You must learn over the game how the Imperium are EVIL RAYCISS and the Orks/Nids/Eldar/DEldar/Tau/Crons are actually such nice and good people >Shitty plot twists that are forgotten about >Day 1 DLC >Morality is now on a scale of be vs literally Hitler, in this game Puritans are all nothing but self righteous asshats and radicals are nice because they understand the aliums >Devs repeatedly post shit like FUCK WHITE PEOPLE on twitter and whilst the needlessly overrepresented sexy eldar remain white, all humans are now brown/black because diversity
I agree it would be great in theory with a good studio like Obsidian Arts
The artwork is more Space Marine than how I picture inquistors... Another example of Space Marine creep into all things GW...
Kayden Howard
Well, they do have power armor for Inquisitors, what bothers me although is that Inquisitors weren't supposed to be one man armies, their job is not to barge in and kill all heretics, but to find those heretics and stop corruption from spreading. The game should be more investigation focused with occasionally leading guardsmen/spacemarines to clear out a cult and burning heretics.
William White
Like Andromeda?
Jason Lewis
Yep, I agree with that as well. And again it just seems like they're taking the approach of "Lets put power armor and mass gun fire" Like you said, this game should in all honesty play more like a game of Eternal Darkness rather than all the generic Gears of War mass shooting games already out there.
Joseph Nguyen
But clever psychological horror is tricky to make and has less mass appeal, user, whereas normies will happily make you a fortune if you just have big, incoherent, stompy bastards blowing shit up. All it costs is your integrity.
Josiah Cruz
WoW clones sell. Your Darwinian pissing contests rarely do. And no, Eve Online and Ultima don't count. They were minor successes in a time where there were no good alternatives within the genre.
Dylan Lopez
'le sigh' when I realize this is a sad but correct statement.
Hunter Richardson
>All it costs is your integrity. price easily paid by franchise that never had any to begin with
John Davis
DoW3 was good.
Joseph Harris
>look around on their website >go back >get a bunch of code
I hope they have better people working on their games than their website.
Anthony Rodriguez
I don't think I've seen a 40k game do plasma guns right.
Hell, they look like pea shooters in Space Marine and the upcoming Eisenhorn game.
Oliver Russell
Upcoming? Don't tell me that stinker iOS game is getting a sequel!
Cooper Sanders
I really hope that'll end up being a feature, but I haven't seen anything on it. Retinues are a pretty major aspect of Inquisitors.
Also, it feels weird for Inquisitors to be storming these Chaos strongholds on their own.
Hunter Anderson
I'm not sure about that game, but this one appears to be some kind of third-person shooter RPG or something.
When are we getting a proper game set in comorrogh where you play as an Deldar Kab?
Ryan Taylor
That's the one I was talking about; It's been out for a whole year.
Jonathan Davis
>Longwinded /pol b8 >Forgets rule 0 in trying to HFY. Der Übermensch ARE HUMANS.
Might wanna lurk lore lad. That's some weak ass b8
Oliver James
Oh, okay. I saw a bunch of videos, and just assumed it was one of those games that's in development forever, because I didn't hear anything about a release.
Grayson Hughes
I'm not surprised, it was as well-recieved as it deserved. I.E., instant shovelware.
Tyler Reed
They're planning on it, but figuring out the so commands for it.
Ryder Parker
>all those skulls Why does the empire love skulls so much >inb4 le emperor's sacrifice
Elijah Russell
>Warhammer Online >so much potential >so much getting fucked by EA >so much having most of the dev team moved over to TOR

David Wood
Dow2 ones were not half bad.
Matthew Sullivan
Because why not use every resource available?
Xavier Adams
A human skill is the symbol for the purity of humanity. Skull not that shape? That's not human. Not human? Below human! Purge or exploit to your content.
Caleb Perez
it was my first mmo.
I found it strange later on playing other games, when people could move through my character model.
I was da biggest and da strongest black orc, til I took an mmo cancellation to the knee.
Liam Jenkins
>tfw you will never again block the keep gates with few good men and healers against the rushing tide of enemies who try to push past you.
Kayden Wood
Ahh now I see What about heretic skulls? Do they count? >empire is collecting so many skulls khorne is getting jelly
Jeremiah Cook
Wtf is empire you idiot, atleast say it properly.
James Jenkins
I'm digging my Inquisitor, and I like the fact you can keep your same 'power level' if you like your current gear.
Cooper Phillips
Empire of dudes
Henry Wilson
Something closer to X-Com might work I think
Connor Green
The Space Wolves and Deathwatch mobile games give a bit of that feel, but it isn't enough. It so isn't enough.
And they're both built heavily around that classic "grind for shit or spend $6000" model.
Ryder Rivera
Can you even call in exterminatus in this game?
Leo Wilson
>seeing HFY in a post making fun of Bioware >implying bioware in any way likes human beings
John Price
>imagining a huge overhaul mod to turn fallout 4 into a 40k game I'd pay for this
Leo Bailey
When is GW just gonna give the 40k Liscense to a good developer like Arkane ?
