No buy: I want be tyranid, tau or necron killing space marines

[DarkGlam]

This game is no fun, feels uninspired, and there are a lot of games like this. We want to play as villains of humanity, be a tyranid, a tau or a necron killing space marines and other imperials.

I'm pretty sure this is bait but in case it isn't, you are actually playing the villain in the lore since space marines fight for an oppressive and downright cruel and rotting imperium. Second, a game centered around Nids, or Necrons would be very tough to make interesting since the basic troops are essentially mindless and all of Tyranid units are a hivemind. You could at best make a strategy game or a L4D type of side mode but a main game focused on these factions in the FPS genre is unlikely if not impossible. As for Tau or any other faction that could work in the FPS genre, no one would care enough. The sad reality is that all other factions outside of the Imperium are unfitting for any kind of big game due to GamesWorkshop being almost completely focused on Space Marines and the Imperium.

would not be that hard to launch a game like aliens vs predator within warhammer 40k, it does have both single player and multiplayer

And you are? Why do we need to be informed of this?

[Shield]

if you want to play tyranids vs necrons play the tabletop im not sure why you saw "space marine 2" and got uppity it didnt let you play as the zerg or space mummies

Dawn of War is still available for purchase.

[Soji]

yea because if there's something that's inspired its playing AS the bad guys

[Princess Luna]

Seems you misread the game description. It says "Embody the superhuman skill and brutality of a Space Marine."

Every faction in 40k are villains. 40k is basically a reverse Star Trek where every species eventually decided they kinda hate each other or wanna enslave the other species

Ever heard of the Tau?
The writters had to retcon and add some "♥♥♥♥♥♥ up stuff" to them because it was just too obvious they were the only actual good guys in the universe, and even after that they are objectivelly the only good ones in the entire setting.

You mean the faction that is literally enslaved via pheromones by the Eternals? And that was part of their lore since inception.

Battlesector is a thing; you can look up Warhammer 40k Fire Warrior as well since it is an FPS in perspective of a Tau; tho the game is from the Xbox 360 era so finding a copy can be tough. And Warhammer 40k Enternal Crusade exist; tho good luck on managing to get the server going.

That's the fun part of 40k. Everyone is the villain.

The Tau were a bit too noble bright for the setting when they were first introduced, and they were introduced because 40k got its first bout of popularity in the late 90s and GW along with 40ks og creator Rick Priestley still were not sure just how dark they wanted 40k to be.

This was always gonna happen to them as the grim dark stuff is what has sold the most

I agree w/ the OP, but that is why I bought this game. At this point they only want to produce games that they already know will be profitable. The more money WH games are raking in the more games they will try to produce and hopefully we will get some in the future where we don't have to serve the corpse emperor.

No, that wasn't, and they are not "enslaved with pheromones" lol. Tell me you don't read about the Tau without telling.
