You guys ruined the power fantasy

[Moonpaw]

in SM1 you were a mean killing machine that could bash skullz in all day. In this youre paper marines that get staggered, the melee combat feels crappy and the combat isnt fun

[Captain_Kaiju]

then just play on easy like you clearly did in the first game and quit crying that you have skill issues.

To be fair, Tyranids are a bit more dangerous than Orks.

block, parry, dodge. Not the games fault your chapter has weak geneseed

They actually have a point though your armor is paper thin even the most basic things instant tear off your armor making the whole armor concept in the game a joke and your guns are pea shooters past normal difficulty to being almost useless to anything that is not a normal mob.

Not really X3 it's yes and no to that but yeah they are zerg so even attack with even more units but both spacial in melee attacks

True, you far from as powerful as in Space Marine 1 also this game feels a bit closer to Gears of War because it's more team based now and I want to be killing machine wtihout teammates when comes to Space Marine, even Boltgun does that right

[Traitor]

Agree with OP. Game play is boring AF in Multiplayer past easy difficulty.

I actually just played it again prior to this game's release, and while it's true there are times where you want to take cover, there were phases during most encounters where, once you take out the ranged guys, it became all close quarters. Basically everything in this game has a ranged component, so it doesn't work nearly as well as in SM1.

SM2= Primaris though....

the problem with team based games is your allies will 75% of the time be worse than bots and the bots in this game are scripted worse than 2002 GTA Vice City. Its really bad.
Being continuously staggered is also a problem. As 'Bulwark' (sword brethren... sabre obv arent real warhammer fans) ill get through 80% of putting down my flag animation just to be staggered out of it. You can be infinitely chain staggered to death in difficulty II and above. Its truly intolerable.

At least have combat adhere to the codex Astartes. I don't understand the incredible amount of focus on Melee.

think ill pass. My friends dont like the game already and refunded it, and i dont much like it either. SM1 was more fun. The combat was simpler, easier, sure, but funner

[TheLordlierEel]

Unfortunate really. I love the combat as it encourages aggressiveness to keep your shields and hp up. I also enjoy the "qte" and parrying gimmick because the game rewards you well for timing them right (cough bulwark cough).
