Space Hulk Has Emerged From Warp! (Is this gonna be another bug hunt, sir?)

[LongBlade]

I didn't realize how intense and deep DoW II is. I am in love.

Just completed two missions that were giving me trouble yesterday and the game leaves me more exhausted than any other.

I might actually put Space Hulk on the back burner just so I can complete DoW II before Rome 2 arrives :)

Wait until you play the Chaos Rising expansion. IMHO it's the best of the series.

Yeah I remember your review. So far, as far as detail, DoW II blows away the detail in Space Marine, which was my WH40K entry point.

All true - i have a Chaos Rising campaign on the go and its very addictive.

Dakka Dakka Dakka!

One of my favorite DoW II bits from the last few plays was figuring things out with the help of Bawb on Steam chat...lime how to pause the damned thing :)

lol - Gus, if you could have seen me frantically fumbling around the screen you would have laughed....and I found it by pure luck.........or at least, by process of elimination  ;)

^Shhh you're supposed to say how obvious and clearly marked it was etc etc...

I'm thinking of leaving my computer on all day attached to the internet, so it'll be ready when I come home.

...that couldn't possibly go wrong in any fashion, could it?

I often have to restart the Steam client before one of my pre-ordered games shows up for install.  Does that count?

Doesn't matter, I completely forgot to turn on my computer anyway. :(

FOUR HOURS TO GO! FOUR HOURS TO GO! (or thereabouts) THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THIS GAME WILL LIVE UP TO MY HYPE!!  ;D

I agree.  I have my doubts on this one...seems to have gone through development a bit too quickly. There is so much they can do with the lore of this universe and so many ways to make the game seriously immersive.  I'm afraid its going to be really just like playing a board game, except without all the great social interaction. 

Anyway, I'm doing the review for GH, so stay tuned...

Did you change your avatar just for that post?

PC Gamer mag had a pre-view that wasn't entirely complementary. It said the Space Marines move at the pace of continental drift and their guns jam constantly. Overall the pre-view was very positive however.

They are vetern space marines in Terminator armor walking down tight, confined, darkly lit corridors within one of the most hostile environments in the known galaxy.  Did the previewer expect them to move like ballerinas?

As far as gun jamming, perhaps it is an issue to take up with the serfs who were responsible for blessing the machine spirits...

Well, yes, that's the board game (and the previous computer game from back in the days of Doom).

That their guns jam so frequently makes no sense in the larger WH40K lore, but that's a major part of the boardgame design.
