Nonek Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Got nothing against Bioware, but they really can't do grimdark. But W40K isn't necessarily about grimdark. Sorry didn't see this response old boy. I would agree with the article on everything but the seperation of those three forms, for instance in a good game of Dark Heresy or Rogue Trader one can find all three flavours stirred into the mix. The Imperial Guard for instance has a good level of humour and the total war themes, while the Adeptus Astartes mix bombastic total war and utter grimdark into their appearances, and even when ravaging planets and commiting atrocities there is still a certain humour to the Ork Waaagh. I would also argue that even though the 40k universe can intersperse its grimdark themes and totalitarianism with humour, it's not the Bioware form of humour, or not to my mind anyway. A very good analytical article however. Edit: The Emperors Children illustration seems a little weak for the chosen sons of Slaanesh, I always pictured them as far more deviant and disturbing than that. More like Kroenen from Hellboy perhaps, with various appendage mutations for the violating of brothers and enemies. Edited May 21, 2013 by Nonek Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

Keyrock Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Bioware making a Warhammer 40K game would be like Liberace having to record a Black Sabbath album. I'm strangely interested in hearing that...

Nonek Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Dear Lord, i'm somewhat glad Ian Curtis's not around to see that abomination. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkZz_Jqqu9E Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

aluminiumtrioxid Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) They are a big studio, they have many voices. I'm cautiously optimistic. (Not to mention that if they do make a W40K RPG, it will probably be about Space Marines, and therefore have little significance to me. I'd love to see a Dark Heresy-based game in the style of CoC: Dark Corners of the Earth, though.)

Nonek Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Perhaps they do possess more facets than we've seen so far, but i'm rather pessimistic because they've so far shown only one form of humour, the squeeing and snarky (whatever that means) approach, which passes for wit in their games. They also seem to have an extremely limited grasp of tactical and strategic issues, which would seem to be of paramount importance to the Astartes, especially considering the Emperors bendiction upon their founding. Thus we're left with the grimdark aspect, which they've proven time and again they cannot do. It seems like i'm harshly criticising the company, but i'm just very doubtful as to the viability of Bioware being a good aesthetic match for 40k. They are at their strongest when pioneering senseless feelgood fluff, such as their Citadel dlc for ME3, where Shepard has a party and socialises while Earth is harvested and indoctrinated. There's nothing wrong with Biowares games, they're good brainless fun, and thus a little divorced from the magnificently moody melange of the fourty first millenia.

Monte Carlo Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 ^ My friend Nonek is generous in his assessment of Bio's capabilities. Suffice it to say, Bio makes Buffy / Joss Wheedon-esque excretia for the emo / obsessive end of the gaming spectrum. There is a healthy market for this type of thing and good luck to them, in any case they will be tied in a burlap bag weighed down with bricks and tossed into the river by EA soon.

babaganoosh13 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I think the reason why Ian Curtis killed himself, was that he was letting his mind wander while he was at work, and he just pictured the god awful covers of his songs that were going to come out. John Tesh actually did a better job than The Cardigans on Sabbath. Of course, he had the Zappa boys with him. No Cardigans, I will not say that I love you. Not after that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSLmuemE2OE You see, ever since the whole Doritos Locos Tacos thing, Taco Bell thinks they can do whatever they want.
