Dude, this is the best Bulwark video I have seen. Wanted to try the class because their armor is the coolest. After seeing this video, I think their gameplay loop looks really fun!
This is very misleading. Every content creator is on about how "Oh you have contested health, you just need to do damage to get it back, like a Melta into a crowd for example…" Thing is that's the ONLY thing taht will ever get you health back and going point blank with a Sniper Las Fusil into a crowd. If you start swinging or shooting anything else in a crowd where you are getting hit to get HP back, you WILL die, because nothing else does enough damage. So take these guides with several grains of salt, if you go into higher difficulties and try to get contested health back from whatever is still hitting you, you will get hit for more HP.
It was so hard to find a guide that was actually helpful and enlightening.
Not just, “remember to smash crates and find the gene seed”
Good stuff here! Thank you!
I wish the red bars would go away so I could enjoy this game. It looks so amazing.
The tip about watching the top for updates its crucial. Against chaos its often the only warning you have a terminator is sprinting at you with a sword.
if gun strike provides i-frames, why do the tzaangors deal damage to you in melee at 7:44 during your gun strike?
Would love to try this game but I spent an hour crashing and loading to crash again, so I got my refund.
Thank you for helping me realise why I was struggling to understand what was going on with bulwark and perfect parry!! 👍
Love this game to death. However there definitely needs to be some balance changes to the enemies and weapons. I think the multimelta does not nearly enough damage, and the little enemies have too much health
Melts bomb is extremely good. I can’t tell you how many times I wiped 5+ elites plus ads with just one melts bomb on substantial threat
Once they fix the damn server issues
5:47 I would like to correct that gun strikes give i-frames. They in-fact, do not. You can even be cancelled out of gunstrikes by being hit with any sort of heavy blow. Executions, on the other hand, will not be interrupted by any normal attack that I know of. I have no tested, however, things like environmental hazards or attacks from operation bosses, like the dragon strafing flame breath for example.
The main problem is the dodge and parry indicator are not consistent. They need a timer indicator or something so you know when to hit the button. Or highlight the attacking arm or something so you know when to time the dodge/parry.
Main issue Iam having moving from difficulty 2 -> 3 is the insane amount of dmg enemies can take. Had the oppertunity to shot a warrior not fighting back, it took more than 48 bolt pistol headshots for it to die, they can also tank 7 melta shots and be just fine. Need to do 3s to get better gear but it is a real struggle when a single enemy can tank 1/4 of your total ammo reserve >.>
Minoris for Tzaangor? are you sure? Those guys can tank so much xddd
I started on Hard difficulty, that's usually the difficulty I start with on most games, expecting it to be a challenge but not too difficult…. Holy hell it took me forty minutes to make it through the goddamn tutorial mission when Titus was still in the Deathwatch. This game is veeery hard in my opinion. However, for the first time it genuinely feels like it's hard but skill and "pay attention" oriented.
I was never a fan of the souls games. Everyone told me to try because it was so satisfying to overcome a boss who kicked your ass for three days. That always looked like far too much frustration for me. This game, on the otherhand, really does get better the longer you play as you develop your skills and reflexes with the mechanics of the game. I'm still new, still learning, but each time I play I feel a little more skilled and learn to navigate the controls a little more efficiently. I really really like this game and the difficulty doesn't actually frustrate me, it's kind of oddly rewarding to get your ass kicked in Space Marine 2.
I'm honestly not even quite sure how to articulate it.
Rip 'n Tear
Rip 'n Tear!
Until it is done.
Emprah Protects.
Sparty has a potty mouth 😮
I wish the bulkward had a distinct parry & block button cause 99% of time I block when I want to parry and get gutted because of it
This game definitely has a bit of a challenging learning curve, i've played like 12 hours before i really started to feel like i was getting the hang of it, and I still mess up my parries lol, now I'm not getting melted so fast
Bit late to the party but how do you even perfect parry anyway, like when the indicator comes up at what point is the window to parry… got through the whole campaign and I don’t think I managed to do it once, makes fighting warriors a nightmare.
You can do running attack out of dodge.
thanks for the guide man! I've been struggling in melee, just treating it like a spam moment, didn't know about the recovering health thing from the white bar. I need to clam it down when it comes to melee…
Pretty much my only gripe with the game, is the cuts in the campaign mission
In SM1. You bassically walked across the entire map, each objective leading right to the next, with no bits of just cutting to you arriving somewhere else.
While SM2 has lots of bits where it just cuts ahead to you arriving somewhere
Its s minor thing, but mskes the campaign feel more disconnected
The delay between the game signalling enemy calling reinforcements is actually actionable, which is great
A space marine hack and slash game where a good strategy is to run away….my god i hate how everything has to be ultra hard its so goofy ffs i feel lile a gaurdsmen
I wish this game was more like Doom Eternal in the sense that it should tell you how the mechanics work directly. Some of the tutorials are vague or just don’t tell you very much. I didn’t even know you could life steal until a few missions into the campaign. I still don’t fully understand how it works.
Why you always sound like you're forcing a low voice
Anyone else having internet connection issues
Just a note, the reason it's called block is because you are doing exactly that… Blocking the attack, unlike with the others where you can parry the attacks. So it's named fine.
The difficulty spike in operations just isnt fun for me. The enemies do a ridiculous amount of damage. Almkst impossibke to deal with minor tier enemy swarms without taking health damage because of lack of I frames and armor being 1 hit gone from small enemies it just isnt fun playing average difficulty and above also the stun locking so u end up taking 2-3 hits cause u cant move is super annoying
Gun strikes do not grant iframes. You have to be careful when and where you use them or you'll lose the armor you gain or even more by being hit by peons smacking that ass during that pretty, slowed down cinematic shot.
