Space Hulk: Deathwing - Initial Beta Impressions... The Emperor Weeps This Day

1. I personally don't see much reason that, just because something is large and heavy, it can't have fine movement or mobility. Realistically, the world doesn't balance itself so everything has positive/negatives, that's just how things tend to fall into place. We have camera rigs for movie making that probably mass in the multiple hundreds of pounds and they are capable of extremely fine movement, not to mention nigh perfect stabilization.
   
   Of course, this is coming from someone who isn't even slightly well-versed in the WH40k universe but there's still not much reason to go so hard for lore realism that you ruin the gameplay.
2. The biggest thing all the naysayers are forgetting is the lore that is 40k. Armored Super Humans (Space Marines) that have a mass 2 1/2 times larger then a large human. The small fighting spaces are important because your fighting on a Cadian Battle Barge which is a standard size human imperial Army. The Devs are trying to stay true to the Lore. The inaccurate weapons and large cone of fire and the simplistic melee is correct due to the sheer size of the weaponry. For example, the power sword from the Librarian would weigh hundreds of pounds...from a long time 40k guy I would highly recommend this game, however I would take some time to understand the lore of 40k. The mutated neophytes and servitors with stubber pistols would definitely damage a terminator over time. I think the game play is great because the focus on the lore is mostly accurate. The game is not perfect and can be improved but the moment they try to appease the Call of Duty fan base I'm done with it. The game should make you feel cumbersome because you are a Space Marine in Terminator Armor. You are a damn walking tank. Also, for the Tyranid fans out there. Put the game on hardest difficulty and watch your squad get ripped to shreds...For the futuristic feel that people think is lacking... I say again learn the lore...40k is a weird mixture of high fantasy and far future...example Plasma Cannon standing next to your Assault Terminator with a Mace and Kite shield...if you want futuristic human warfare go play Call of Duty Infinite Warfare or Titan Fall 2...for me I cant wait to see what the full game has to offer. "Forward onto Glory for the God Emperor of Man Kind!"
3. as you said, having an SSD did make it load faster, but not by much and you were the host so I had to wait for you anyway, and if we did not change the difficulty setting the standard one is 3/4. When firing the assault cannon I had a bit of an fps drop, my computer was bought earlier this year so I do belive that was the game not my computer.
4. i knew this was shit when random dudes with rifles could take out a terminator armor.
5. i always have 0 expectations for these type of games, vermintide is a good example, beautiful graphics and atmosphere, impactful combat, and then the gameplay still ends up boring and repetitive, play through a very long level, get defeated in any way, 0% rewarded, 100% wasted time, try it again, won, go through the rng reward system, get a sword and shield for your efforts.... rinse and repeat through very long levels, restart the level every time the host leaves the match or through defeat and lose all progress, always the characters, win more swords and shields, maybe a hammer and a flintlock pistol with extremely limited ammo...
6. I am Deathwing, The Destroyer, the end of all things. Inevitable, indomitable I am the Cataclysm!
   Your tenacity is admirable but pointless, you ride into the jaws of the Apocalypse.
7. Your a terminator, your literally a walking tank, not a ballerina :/
   I enjoy the clunky
8. Got the beta and wasn't even able to play it cause of the Long loading times and very poor Optimisation, so I can feel you there Pawnce but I'm willing to give the game another try when it releases.
9. 2 Pawnce better than 1
10. from an rp point of view, this game is awesome. i saw some other guys doing a gameplay video and they were shouting commands, calling each other "brother" and yelling "for the emperor", it was very entertaining.
11. Really love the art and they finally got the voices down. Man this game needs some tuning. I've been playing through it solo with the medic. It got pretty intense and I'm not so sure I like the level up feature, because it's near impossible to go to your inventory and get back without being swarmed because of the loadtimes. Really hoping they fix it because visually, it's perfect.
12. is this f2p?
13. FIRST!!!
