Lieutenant Titus has been vindicated. While his cౠlosest allies suspected him of corruption and the Ultramarines Chapter Master, Marneus Calgar, had to come to his aid, Titus proved himself worthy of his titles and accolades in the end. He has resisted the call of Chaos and purged countless heretics on his route to salvation. But can you?
There's no functional difference to playing as a Chaos marine or their loyalist brethren in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's PvP multiplayer. If you're a loyalist, you get shiny,ꦬ squeaky clean armour. If you're a worshipper of Chaos, your armour is older, decaying, broken in places. It's a cool aesthetic and I ꦓunderstand those who turn to the dark side, but it's hardly roleplaying.
Chaos has always been criminally neglected by Saber Interactive. Relegated to antagonists in both g꧙ames, the forces of Chaos act as little more than cartoonishly evil villains hoping to destroy the galaxy by stealing Titus' MacGuffin and setting into motion an evil plan of intergalactic magnitude.
There's no nuance to th🦹e Chaos Space Marines in these games. They're just mindless hordes to be executed much in the same manner as the Tyranids before them. In fact, they're simpler to deal with than the Tyranids, aꦫs they're easier to isolate in one versus one situations without a horde of Gaunts surrounding you as you desperately try to parry. As well as messing up the difficulty curve, I can't help but think of them as a little one-dimensional.
This is why we should play as a Chaos Space Marine in Space Marine 3, if Saber ever chooses to make it. (At the moment it looks more likely that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:story DLC f🍬or Space Marine 2 is on the way.) The followers of Khorne, ♒Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh are more complex than you might think if you've only played these two video games.
I've got a few examples t☂o prove my point. Take Fabius Bile, for instance. His experiments are all kinds of messed up (although barely touch the scale of Dr💖ukhari shenanigans) and his pacts with the gods are borne out of a lust for knowledge rather than any true malevolence. He's a sociopath who doesn't care about the wellbeing of the rest of the galaxy, but does that make him wholly evil? Does it make him any worse than Belisarius Cawl, enigmatic leader of Space Marines 2's most interesting faction, the Adeptus Mechanicus? And, more importantly, does it make him an interesting character? The answer to the latter question is an emphatic ‘yes’.
Next on the list of interesting, complicated Chaos characters is none other than Magnus, Primarch of the Th💛ousand Sons. He only ever had the emperor's best interests at heart and was forced toward🔥s a path of so-called heresy. Despite the one-dimensional scarab marines you see in Space Marine 2, Magnus is a conflicted soul who Did. Nothing. Wrong.
Erebus is wholly evil and can get in the sea.
These 🔴are the stories I want to see in Space Marine 3. Not necessarily a tale of Primarchs or fan favourite characters, but of Chaos Space Marines conflicted by their worship, having an identity crisis in the face of the ruinous powers. It would be a big step up, but having light RPG mechanics meaning you can upgrade your skills in a path of each Chaos God would allow for more roleplaying and add a touch of mechanical interest in what is a fun, but admittedly pretty rote, game.
I want a character who chooses a boon of Khorne and then regrets it when he leads his closest friend int𒈔o a lethal battle while in an uncontrollable bloodlust. I want a disciple of Nurgle simultaneously thankful for his father's gifts and disgusted at the foul pustules growing on his body. I want to ascend to become a Daemon Prince. I want the capacity to be bad.
The Space Marines are too straight-laced, too boring, and that showed in reviews by non-Warhammer fans. We could bring them on board with a more interesting, more devious, more m💦alicious cast. And we could have the satisfaction of taking down Titus as an antagonistic boss.
Chaos Space Marines have been overlooked by Saber for too long. Just look at the customisation options for PvP in Space Marine 2. There are more Ultramarines successor Chapters than Chaos legions. Recolouring a Chaos Raptor (the Assault class) keeps the Night Lords iconography. I know the developers can only do so much, but they need to show the arch enemy some deference. It can sta🌠rt with better customisation in multiplayer in Space Marine 2, and it can crescendo into a hack 'n slash of their own. After all, who'♋s better at hacking and slashing than Khârn and co.?
