40k reads like a superhero comic disguised as a military drama.

Most of the books and official animated media focus more on spectacle, exaggeration, humour, absurdity, and hype than on believability (not realism, believability and consistency) and immersion at the cost of tonal consistency and the depth of many of its characters. This series has many issues with scaling and tension when a new world/empire threat ending pops up each edition while the imperium is written to feel nearly always reactive and in a vegetative state. The imperium was never good, but never written to be so laughably incompetent that major galaxy ending crises could casually manifest without any pushback. Remember when the imperial guard was so strong it had to be nerfed in lore? Yeah I miss when the scaling of the series wasn’t 100% catered to the astartes and the times when the authors tried to write the guard and planetary defence forces as actually useful for protecting humanity…

It showed they were pivoting to stories that were more small-scale and character focused that didn't really advance the setting in any meaningful way. Not that theres anything wrong with those type of stories but I always found the perpetual storylines boring and kind of meaningless.

>>45224
Fuck you talking about, modern imperial guard is anything except Rambo. You know how bad they’ve been shafted in the recent books? Like at least for a time, the authors tried writing them and the planetary defence forces as actually competent and intimidating soldiers. The recent editions make it questionable why the imperium even has these guys active.

>>45225
Literally the opposite problem. Every fucking edition brings a new galaxy ending crises somehow worse than the last one where the power scaling gets even more nonsensical and absurd (apparently the emperor fought Horus through 13 dimensions or some shit in one of the newest books), entire systems are casually given Horus heresy level disaster situations for just because for narrative convenience (like how marvel seemingly has a new world ending threat every week just to find a lazy excuse to keep publishing avengers comics) at the complete cost of tonal consistency and believability in the 40k setting.

>>45227
Well if it makes you feel better it looks like they're getting ready to chuck the whole thing in the toilet and start over age of sigmar style

>>45228
Oh god this would be so funny.



 

I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

Rogue Trader is actually what got me back into it, always wanted to play it on tabletop in person but my group settled on the chaos one instead, and it kind sucked. I think Rogue Trader as a setting is perfect for exploring the 40K universe in an actual interesting way, and the Video Game adaptation has done it justice, even outside of 40K it's, imho, a very good RPG, something we rarely see anymore.

You would fit right in.

It's not. Have you read more than one line of the lore?

>>45328
The T'au empire have a strict hierarchy. The Auns run everything from the shadow, nobody know what they even want but we can see than anything that will give them more power is good for the greater good and anything that question their power is bad for the greater good.
Then come the fire, earth, air, and water castes and then come the subjects of the empire.
Humans have proven to be a bellicist race and the greater good require that they should be removed from existence once we are powerful enough. This is what you fight for.
And they don't even know about the demons.

Wouldn't it just be better to get it off steam since you'd have an easier time refunding it? I guess if it's being sold on their for a low enough discount it might not even matter.

ARMA Reforger, ACE Combat 7 and Bully

also got my brother Dagger Directive

Could they have just picked a theme and stuck with it? This feels like if you asked an AI to make a popular AAA video game concept with no further instructions.

Still a pretty good example of tacticool sci-fantasy with charcters specialized at specific tasks while aura farming–which is the essence of superhero stuff imo.
Reccomend it even though it's got pacing issues first few chapters.

Depends what planet they go to in a given episode, especially in the OG series.

It's still there though, but I get you mean how it's blended.

No gacha is good.

The only "fantasy" Star Trek entertained was the possible existence of psychic powers, which people thought was legitimate back when it was made.
>It's still there though, but I get you mean how it's blended.
People call Jedi "space wizards," but they're not casting fireball or whatever. The Force is basically magic, but it's a very subtle form of magic compared to how magic is portrayed in fantasy.

In Dune, the only thing that is potentially mystical is prescience, which Frank Herbert never really gives any kind of "scientific" explanation for. I would agree that the other powers are kind of fantastical, but Herbert at least tries to give them some kind of at least materialist explanation and tries to make it explicit that they're not magic.

Primitive Society Simulator is a historical society-building game that lets players guide a prehistoric tribe from a simple communal existence to a stratified civilization. It begins in an egalitarian “primitive communist” stage, where resources, labor, and tools are shared, and there is little distinction between individuals. As the tribe develops agriculture, metalworking, and trade, it begins to produce surpluses, allowing some members to specialize as craftsmen, warriors, or leaders.

This specialization gradually introduces inequality: leaders accumulate authority, private property appears, and social ranks emerge. The game models this shift through systems like organization hierarchies, diplomacy, and class-based housing. Over time, patriarchal families, inheritance, and noble titles develop, solidifying class divisions. In this way, Primitive Society Simulator portrays the long historical transformation from communal, cooperative tribes into societies defined by hierarchy, property, and power.

>>44984
None of these are matriarchal in a sense as an counterpart of patriarchy, merely societies where power is shared between men and women.

9 posts and 2 image replies omitted.

I don't even see how you could implement magic in a game that's more complex than what you get in something like D&D or just being superpowers with an occult theme. Real life magical/occult practices are usually subtle and free form in how they're supposed to work. It's something I only see working narratively.

>>45026
WRONG. No gameplay loop no matter how perfect is worth anything if the world you play in is boring as shit

yeah bro, my universe has tech, industrial stuff, and machines that normal people interact with daily
oh but engineering, yeah that’s some elite stuff that only a conveniently select few type of people know about

I like the idea of Sorceror Kings with magic copper swords running around the same setting as Fudds with great grandpa's colt model army that has homing bullets or some other blessing.

my bf wants to go back to make that game but we need funding and more people cus the project got too big

i made another worldbuilding thing like that but it was like a "planet of the apes" thing where different types of monkeys had different era periods of society but buffed like, chimps had a wild west civilization while gorillas lived like mongols with giant bows.

Literally everything is open world slop now. Even a series that named the genre where you explore intricate interconnected levels.

Original Metroid Prime was named for the final boss of the game, and the name stuck for all the 3D metroids.

>>45174
There is a lot of bandwagoning happening. It’s really not the that bad. Mckenzie is about as annoying as Otacon from MGS to me. The desert portion feels tacked on a bit because it’s basically used to collect gems for a later part of the game. That might be annoying for some players but I collected them while traveling to different locations so it wasn’t a big deal. I think people were expecting more modern elements like an actual open world rather than a hub, but I knew that was never going to happen while the game was being held back by the switch 1. If your expectations aren’t that high and you like metroid it’s a good time. People are complaining about the story but I would still rank it higher than Other M despite it being paper thin.

>>45256
expectations seem to have been a bit overflown, but also there seems to be a general sense of bitterness towards nintendo because the switch 2 is a bit expensive and they still don't have a definite "killer game" that justifies the entry price

>>45256
>>45260
Also scathing reviews of other Nintendo sequels (TotK) have been doing number recently so some people are probably trying to bottle that lightning.

I just started playing. I wish there was a mode where you can play as Albania, and you get support from China but you can't trade with the Soviets or NATO.
