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

I have it, but I'm at work until at least 2000 EST.

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.

That's poor form. Previews aren't supposed to discuss negatives because the code is still being worked on - sometimes to fix stuff like that.

Hey they said not me. Anyway waiting to hear informed opinion here. I remember Skyrim didn't get great previews either and that was certainly wrong.

Depending on what they meant by moving at a glacial pace, that isn't actually something to be fixed in code, that's part of the game rules. The jamming definitely is. But maybe they meant the guns jam more often than what ought to be the average. In the old semi-FPS version, jamming could be reduced significantly by picking shots carefully (if repeatedly) through mouse clicking like a semi-automatic weapon, since jamming seems to be a factor of how long the bolter has been continuously shooting. So I feel like my impression of jamming rates might be significantly lower than what the tabletop rules expected.

This game is so completely unplayable due to all the bugs.
I can't manage to complete a single game without it getting stuck somewhere along due to a gamestopping bug.
:-\

You're playing right now??

I "played" some minutes ago.
It's out already in case you didn't know.

I also saw another Groghead playing it.

Gusington · August 15, 2013, 01:34:22 PM

I preordered it. So what's bugged?

bob48 · August 15, 2013, 01:48:52 PM

Got it (thanks to an old wargames buddy - much to my delight, I just went onto steam and found it as a gift!).

Installed it and just completed the first mission with no problems.

I'll do some more and report back :-)

Gusington · August 15, 2013, 01:55:15 PM

Is it fun?

JasonPratt · August 15, 2013, 02:05:52 PM

So, it's gonna be another bug hunt, sir?

;)

Gusington · August 15, 2013, 02:17:01 PM

I hope so! With a dearth of WH40K movies, I have my Alien blue rays ready to go.

Seems OK so far, although I'm having a bit of a problem with move/turn commands, but I think the problem is with me and not the game. It is very like the board game - and the missions (so far) are very familiar.

No manifestations of any bugs up to now (other than the 'stealers, that is). I like what little I've seen of it.
