No, and I doubt he's managed to do enough to warrant it. He's seen moderate success in the space he's in, he's just kind of an asshole. The summary I posted is from over the course of the past 3 years or so and even most of that is... ok color blind idiot youtube person picked a stupid color for a spray primer... ok? Dude ran out of his wife and kids... that happens all the time.

The thing that gets me the most about him is that he's so fucking smarmy. Mister Nice Guy. He does that thing where he sets himself up as this wholesome, respectable voice of authority in the scene, but the vibes are completely off. Cloyingly pretending-to-be-your-friend, when really I think it's quite obvious he just uses people and only really values them as long as he can use them to make himself look good.

I don't think he deserves a thread, but I do love heaping scorn on him in this one, because he really is an absolute fucking charm vacuum. Warhammer's biggest wanker.
 
Nothing short of a total remake is going to fix SM2's dogshit campaign. Tried playing it for the first time co-op last night and it was genuinely the worst experience I've had gaming in years. Unironically would've had more fun playing Dustborn or Concord.

What difficulty are you playing on? I found the actual story to be pretty bog standard, but hey it's about ultra smurfs it's to be expected. I actually found the campaign to be super fun on normal, not overly difficult and with some dumb fun setpieces. I couldn't help but smile throughout the whole final mission leading up to the warp segment. It really reminded me of old 2010's era CoD campaigns.

Git Gud.

Wtf did they do to warcom? Changed it for the sake of changing it and adding unnecessary design elements? Why does every article need a menu so you can copy a link which you can just do from the URL bar, or a "Read Now" button? Just click the damned post?
 
Well, the Tithes are about as bad as you guys said that it was. But it's still hilarious watching an butch femstodes yell at an random SM captain. Other than that, the series is 1 for 3 in terms of actual quality

I always found these kinds of answers to never be the correct way to respond to someone who thought a game was bad. Gamers alwasy seem to be quite good at identifying that there is a problem but never actually diagnosing the cause of said problem.

Spilled Spaghett may have just been expecting a different kind of game, or they were playing on a difficulty that they could not handle. Anything could be the cause of their displeasure but I doubt it's just cause they are bad at the game.

Obviously this discounts them being a troll but, c'est la vie.

AI was incredibly passive, from what I've seen. But you'll get used to it.


But playing with an team shouldn't be an impossible feat if everyone knows what they're doing

What else can you really say when they dont actually bring up anything about the game they had a problem with, and make insanely hyperbolic statements like comparing it to Dustborn and Concord?

Except they didn't identify the problem, let alone diagnose it.

So the solution should be to turn the difficulty down, or get better at the game if you don't want to play on a lower difficulty, if it really was an issue with how hard the game is. Same as if a game is too easy, if you can increase the difficulty then do so.

And yet here we are, with absolutely no input other than "dogshit campaign" and "worst experience I've had gaming in years" and "wouldn't had more fun playing Dustborn or Concord". Ironically, that last bit could be useful, if Dustborn or Concord were even in the same genre because at that point it might be possible for someone to identify differences since the player themselves couldn't be bothered to point out the actual issues they had with it. Instead, because they bring up Dustborn and Concord it's a safe bet that...

And that's why they get the sort of response they do.

It's not as if I can't articulate thoughts or I'm unwilling to have something resembling discourse on the topic. I'm doing that with your post. But when you break down what Spilled Spaghetti posted, or even attempt to infer what they might have meant, it isn't possible to understand what the hell they were talking about.

I'll even give another example. Just on the previous page, people were complaining about 10th edition 40k. I don't have a problem with 10th edition, and have actually gotten more games in over the past year than I have in ages, and I think it's more balanced with far less reliance on a bunch of gentleman's agreements in an attempt to fix rules/datasheets/interactions that never got touched for years at a time. But if I assume those people had played previous editions, I understand the differences between 10th and say... 5th maybe or hell even 8th, that those differences might be what those players found to be more enjoyable even if I had problems with other aspects of the game. I can't do that with the crap that Spilled Spaghetti posted, especially since the comparison was fucking Dustborn and Concord rather than something relevant like the first Space Marine from 2011. Hell, without Dustborn and Concord specified, it wouldn't have been an unreasonable guess that maybe they preferred the first game.

this nigga is a game journo that couldnt even beat the intro carnifex to get to the scripted death scene.
 
So I got a fun little hypothetical. If the emperor or whoever declared eldar to be abhumans instead of xenos. Do you think the general population would give a dam or know any better? I mean the major military branches would throw a bitch fit but they are as rare to people as space Marines practically.

How far do you think this could go? The eldar would never go for it in large numbers but lets say its possible and we finally get half eldar space Marines in the 43k lol.

First edition 40k lmao. The general population of the Imperium doesn't even know what an Eldar even is I'd wager

Half eldar space marines were previously a thing in rogue trader, and retconned out. The emperor isn't in a position to declare anything and even if he somehow did, it would take hundreds or possibly thousands of years for it to get through the bureaucracy. Additionally, most normal imperium citizens have no idea what an eldar even is, let alone that they exist, even most guardsmen haven't seen one and only would have read about them from their primer or some other similar source.

But to "finally" get half eldar space marines? You're a few decades late.

Also, most of the eldar themselves are xenophobic as well to the point of the idea being a joke, nevermind that it isn't even certain if their or a human's biology in the current lore would even allow it.
 
I never get people who go by the book there's a reason I don't like playing at tournaments I wanna play with my toy soldiers and the way I see fit and I'm not gonna let some major corporation dictate how I do it.
And that's fair that you want to play the way you want to play.

But the reason a lot of people like to go "by the book" is pretty simple, even outside of tournaments. If I go to the local shop and find someone for a pickup game, and we establish that we're playing 10th with the current updates, then we both know what we're playing and there's no need to explain anything or end up in an argument. If my opponent states they want to play "their way" with all sorts of custom this and that, rules from random editions, etc. I don't want to sit for an hour before the game discussing the rules like we're doing contract negotiations to make sure we're both on the same page and actually playing the same game. It's a similar reason why I hate D&D 5e and the "well just house rule it" to cover for the lack of rules and explanations within the books, every DM is going to have a different set of house rules and I don't want to bother with the possibility of mixing up 10 variations of something just because WotC couldn't be bothered to explain how item buying/selling/crafting/whatever works.
 
I really hope for more meme build videos, hopefully the excellent reception gives more missions and enemy types.
Pretty sure that's basically it, outside of the Reivers fucking people up with the grappling attack or spamming Iron Halos.

But this game could have dived into the rest of the Primaris lineup or tasked us with killing an fucking Pyrovore. As it is, it's just the bare bones with some Lictors thrown in
 
I'm happy for SM2 being so well recieved (the company standard scene was absolute kino) but with the popularity spike I'm seeing a lot of retarded takes and people arguing to soften the setting to match their Disney Soy Wars tastes. Normies stay out reeeee

Also the discourse around "no good guys in 40k" thing has kicked up again, which I always found bizarre. Only the Imperium is working towards a future where humans exist, so in my books they're the (relative) good guys despite all the genocide, slavery, etc.

Fuck elves and space smurfs, team mankind all the way
