Battlefleet Gothic

I am incorrect. On the store page for base game, they do not list it as being in my library like the space Marine dlc. However on the Tau dlc page it says it is in my library. Yay!

[Tpek]

You can open your Steam client and check the "page" for that game at your games library.
It will list all the DLCs you have.

[Gusington]

That's what I thought.

Base game is half price and both DLC's are 15% off now.  I skimmed this thread and it looks like most of you liked the game.  Looks like it has had good support since launch.  It's tempting me...

I was playing it a fair bit back in July/August. I honestly had a lot of fun - matches are very bite-sized, they rarely take longer than 10 mins or so.

Looks gorgeous as well on high settings. I guess my one gripe is that I'd want to experience something on a larger scale, which can be possible but you have to 'earn' the right first be levelling up an Admiral to the higher point-tiers.

Orks are a joke though. Hate fighting those guys.

[Geezer]

Thanks.  Pretty sure I'll get the base game and try it out.  If it looks like fun for me then I'll get the DLC's before they go off sale.

If you have to choose, the Tau seem to be more of a departure in terms of tactics etc... than Space Marines. SM seem a lot like AM to me, with slightly different tactics focus.

I love the game in principle, and still play it, but there's something that never quite clicked with me and it's probably the critical difference between SP and MP, viz.: game speed.  In SP, you can dramatically slow things down to keep up with the different ships, their abilities, as well as the crew.  In so doing, this game really does start to feel like Age of Sail ships and tactics in space.  Which is awesome.  MP, though, you can't slow matters down that way and everything, for me, falls far more into a clickmush.   Were it not for the deluge of other games (AND the Steam sale) I'd probably go back and have another go, but, right now, it's not a regular for me.

What he said. This is another of those "I want to love it, but getting familiar enough with it to love it will take more time than I can give it." Like pretty much all of the other WH40K MP games, this is what I call a "college kid game." If you're a college kid and can spend hours and hours playing, you'll get good enough that MP is fun. Otherwise, you're just going to get killed BY the college kids!


Now, get off my lawn.

[Geezer]

I'm retired and can spend hours and hours playing.  But I'm also too old and slow to bother with MP.  :)

[Nefaro]

I've been wanting to get this.  But, being an RTS, it may be a bit twitchier than something I'd play often.

Will get it eventually.  Keep telling myself that I'll get caught up on my Games-To-Play list and get around to these others, but we know that won't happen.

[JasonPratt]

I have to say, there are enough things going on even in slo-mo that I've always felt like I couldn't keep up with it. And I just completed a campaign in an RTS that has no pausability or slow-down at all, with a moderate amount of micro (i.e. BFME2:RotWK).

[Geezer]

I guess the Emperor will be branding me a heretic soon.  Tried three times to win the turn 3 escort mission and I'm not even coming close.  Watched videos of people making it look easy.  Then I come up against 5 or 6 Ork ships and get crushed even on the slow motion setting.  Guess I'll play skirmishes until I figure this out.  Good fun though, or at least as much fun as you can have getting stomped by Greenskins.  :)

[Cyrano]

OK...officially peeved.

Why did the iPad get the B:G game I wanted?
