Title: An Apology to "Sanctus Reach". More or Less.
Post by: Cyrano on February 24, 2018, 07:17:31 PM
Since I made so much about it here before and shortly after launch, I felt honor demanded I post this here:

Je ne regrette rien!!

I was a beta tester for the game.  Myself and several other testers begged them not to release it when they did due to so many problems.  IMHO the maps were too small and it never had an epic feel that you should get from any WH40K game.  I did not buy it even though I had a discount coupon for being a tester, that's how disappointed I was with it.  If it has improved greatly since launch then good for them.

I don't want what I say to come off as insincere, but, to be clear, I'm not nuts about it.  It's imperfect.  Frankly, I don't think making the maps any bigger would have worked given that the biggest maps get a bit wonky even on my relatively high-spec machine.  But, for the price I paid, I feel I got my money's worth.

And I will note in passing that most 40k feels like you're fighting in a phone booth given the scale of the models and the weapon ranges.

One of the few games I've enjoyed recently. I'd be scared to see how many hours I've played.
