She would understand completely being a true servant of the Emperor and all! If she objects however, well, maybe someone will have to put a word in to the local Inquisitor...
I can't help but grin every time I see anything for this game. I had a buddy, Angus was his nickname, who played Ultra Marines and I played Tyranids in 40k. Managing the local gaming store, I was able to squeeze a game in from time to time and he and I used to have epic showdowns after hours drawing grinning onlookers in the process. He used to groan as I placed my army which I used to fill the ranks with termagants, outnumbering his army by a sickening amount. It didn't matter of course as by the end of the game he was usually standing victorious with his dreadnaught and remaining terminators still standing. We used to talk about how horrific a planetary invasion would be, how epic the battle by the marines resisting, and he would always quote "Aliens" by saying, "It won't make any difference." Angus was sadly and tragically murdered by his roommate. I left the store not long after to work in a nearby city but his army still hung in a case on the wall when I did. I can't wait to maul some 'nids while yelling "Ultra!" in his memory. ☺️
When the ending is a heavy bolter shot straight to the feels..... _Brother Angus fought with the might of the Ultramarines, his loyalty never faltered. Through Guilliman’s wisdom, he found his purpose, and now, in the Emperor’s light, he rests._
I feel like I may need to clarify something for those who are unfamiliar. The Chaos Space marines in game - the Thousand Sons - explode into various colors because they are essentially a set of armor filled with psychic energy. If their armor is removed, they die. My cousin thought it was a form of censorship as they don't bleed; rest assured this game will have a lot of blood and violence, which in my opinion there can never be too much.
Yeah, these are warp entities. I did find it a bit odd considering the story line. The only real Chaos Marine was the main bad guy. The others are warp entities.
I've been waiting for wukong since the first trailer. I bought it but haven't played it yet since I'm trying to finish hollow knight first. But I'm so excited to try it out finally. I think I'll start it tomorrow. I'm so glad it's been received so well!
@@affe1314 ACG doez some good reviews. I miss his lengthy walkathons but I have been not following much for bit... but He has good detailed important detailed reviews not paid shill shit. Blackwoodz is good for it too.
Not a huge Ultramarine fan. But goddamn did that "For the glory of Ultramar!" send a shiver through me. Wish it would have been "We march for Macragge, we know no fear!" But I'll take it regardless. Fucking HYPED for this game.
At least in the first game the Ultramarines made a lot of sense to showcase Titus going beyond the Codex and being branded a threat. Would not make much sense with other chapters that are less rigid.
"On the lower end PC with a 3080" - It's about equivalent to a $500 RTX 4070. A 3080 is more than *twice* as powerful as the official RECOMMENDED system specs (RTX 2060). My guy, the min-specs of this game are a RX 580/GTX 1060 and you call a 3080 lower end? Yeah anything is weak compared to a 4090, but in terms of performance a 3080 is further from a 2060 than a 4090 is from a 3080. That's a pretty big blindspot for testing a game and could leave people that buy it based on your review and not have something 4-7x faster than min-spec stuck with a crap experience. Consider keeping something actually low end around to do a sniff test at least, since too many games do NOT perform adequately on their min and even recommended specs.
3080 is low end? Seriously....18 months ago, that was a $1500 video card. Meanwhile, the most common video card seen in Steam reports is a 1660 which only recently changed from a 1060.
The original has been in my Steam library unplayed for many years, so finally getting around to playing it. This really does look like a modern version of that game, which is impressive coming from a totally different studio. These graphics are amazing for someone who loves the WH40K world.

@@carbagehealth I liked that he brought up that a worse set up with a 3080 somewhat performed well too...

@@adrian1881mw3 Yea never was a bother for me (being aware it ain't that demanding) but if it's a recurring error might get it fix cus there's the credibility and integrity
While the performance on a 4090 won't be relevant for most people, it's a good way to see if any performance issues are due to poor optimization. Games like Escape from Tarkov still run like shit on high-end hardware.
7:41 i like how even the human npcs look more like a main character than the concord characters, lol. very excited for the game, it looks like it will be very fun in coop.
I have to say, if there is one thing that I absolutely despise, is not being able to control who is jumping into my game. I usually only play with friends and hate pugs. Pugs usually will run off doing their own thing and not staying on track with what our group is doing and communicating. I really hope this gets patched.
I doubt you remember me Karak but I used to comment on and watch all your videos when you had less than 15k subs (if I remember then number correctly lol), for some reason YT stopped recommending your videos and I kinda just forgot over time, never unsubbed btw as far as I know, well suddenly I am getting recommended your stuff again and I said "omg that guy was like the best reviewer ever and forgot all about him" lol, Im so happy to see the channel has grown and I will be here watching again, I remember when you used to the Caffeinated reviews!
I was going to get this on release, when I saw all the crap they want you to buy like early release and season pass I decided to just wait until it’s on sale at Christmas
The only "season pass" content is cosmetic stuff. You got it backwards, this is one of those rare games that will have all its single player story dlc and coop mission dlc completely free. You only need to spend more money if you want cosmetics
@@Hydroahonly cosmetic content is locked, nothing story related. All future story dlc both single player and coop will be available to everyone for no extra price. Do with that info as you will
“You’ve ain’t seen nothing yet ~ Bachman Turner overdrive is the song you’ve been looking for in this title. Open this while opening this video, believe me, it’s a game changer.
Maybe I missed it. But is the close combat good? Chunky? Quick timey? Saw alot of pauses and almost quick time style moments. Does that play into the combat/finishers? Is the combats the simply. Basic until heavy strike of space marine 1?
It's space marine 1 but upgraded. If you didn't like the first one you won't like this one. It's not clunky but you have to time your actions well. You can parry and dodge but it's not assassins creed easy, you have to be aware of enemies attacking at the same time or you'll die quickly. I'm loving the game but be aware of that
word from beta testers and the gaming community that this game was good but performance needed work........they werent lying this looks crazy!!!! I dont want to compare gears but this looks like gears on steroids like wow!
Takes a lot for me to use my PC for more than watching TH-cam and sports in discord these days, but this was one of the 3 times a year a game comes around that I get lost in. Put in 18 hours this weekend playing the same first 4 missions of PVE. 1080ti older i7, zero issues on medium settings in 1440p
I'm watching the review because I want to hear about the game, and ACGs reviews are top tier, but i was already sold on space marine 2 when it was announced. Cannot wait until I get to play it finally.
As much as I like Wukong I have to say playing SM2 has reminded me what fun video games are all about. I’m so sick of every game having a ridiculous difficulty. Sure there’s a sense of satisfaction when you beat it but the majority of the time I am not having fun, it feels more of a chore. I am really really enjoying this game.
My concern with this is the cost vs play time. It’s an expensive game and the campaign is apparently only 5h long. Will I really repeat those operations for 30, 40, 50h to get my money’s worth?
@@Rich-in6ds I’ve heard most people say the campaign is 10. Not sure who said 5 - and the coop is ment to be replayed over and over to unlock and level up classes.
@fattony75 6 linear missions with no procedural generation or variety from run to run. Can’t see myself playing each more than a handful of times. Maybe 10-15h of content in those operations if we’re being generous. It needed like 12 missions or some kind of randomisation to keep each one fresh if it wanted to achieve high levels or replayability.
They have not released the full game yet and plus all there new missions and game modes are all going to be free. Like that's a no brainer when most games charge alot of money for expansion packs. I'm a no life this. Plus there's modifiers and operations mode. He'll most games would charge you for all the new armour and skins and customisation they currently have
@@menaceiwill1 What do you mean not full game? Reviewers got full game. We and they know everything about this game already, except pvp, which is never good in these types of games considering the nature of them. ~10 campaign + 6 missions is not a lot. Its extremely small content for 60€. Vermintide 2 launched with 13 missions and customization options. Darktide with 9. Both at 40€ at launch. Now, both COMBINED can be gotten for 26€ with x5 the content. As for no brainer part, how do you know more content (missions for example) will be free? How often? You dont know. We dont know. So thinking 60€ is worth it, because "well, we MIGHT get more free missions in future" is stupid. If in 1 year its true and we have 10+ more FREE (again, NOT paid ones) misions, than sure, 60€ could be worth it, yet still just barely. Only at 40€ this could be a good deal.
Rofl, @menaceiwill1 must love early access games, except that this isn't EA nor is it live-service per say. For most gamers a 6 hour campaign and six operations isn't worth $60 bucks. The stuff in the roadmap should've been at release. It's wild that companies can hold back on content and get people like you so excited with "future content coming soon for FREE." This is going to be a banger in a year when it's on sale and they get release the actual full game.
i appreciate the keen observation w/ when it comes to warning us for bugs and how you fixed in certain segments/situations. just in case one of the viewers stumble to it and briefly knew how to redo or fix it.
ACG: "... The giant partypoopers known as..." Me: "The blueberries with stick up their ass aka the Ultramarines!" ACG: "... the Tyranids of Hivefleet Leviathans." Me: "Oh."
very good review idk if you took my advice on anunciation of words and ideas, and pacing your speech to footage being shown in the video(i could tell because of the cuts in audio and video which is ok). but right off the bat, i could tell this was a very good and tailored review and is one of the many reasons why I'm subscribed, cant wait to see more quality content like this.
Great vid. Looking forward to getting this one soon. What do you mean by "no ability to control mp joins"? So you can't go into pve or pvp with a private party of just your friends? Anyone can join your game?
Reviewers that claim to not be biased, but then brag about being invited to play early, and have interviews with devs and voice talent etc. are so insincere. That is why i LOVE this channel. Thank you
@@thehawk420 Bias based on preference that he did a good job at establishing early on. Everyone has preferences, not everyone has been schmoozed by devs, that's my main point.
@@markg4251he got schmoozed to just not as much he got an early copy like everyone else. Everyone else says it because otherwise people say their a shill so they acknowledge it rather then keep it hidden, I've seen plenty of reviewers get buttered up by dev teams and completely dumpster fire their games in the review.
@@buckheadblue4709 if you consider getting a review code as being schmoozed then idk if we will have enough common ground to argue on tbh. Can't trust any early review with that perspective. I do acknowledge some reviewers still dunk on a game made by devs that buttered them up, but they get to do that exactly ONCE per developer, if they are lucky
@markg4251 not really unless it's overwhelmingly harsh to the point that everyone else's reviews aren't as harsh then it doesn't really matter. Usually it's a separate team of people handling review codes that send the codes out to people who will help the games press, they aren't massive on reputation or previous history. Also the buttering up I said is the most that happens what you're on about is previews. They fly you out they pay for your hotel they let you interview devs and voice actors and let you play the game they don't do that for reviews, because people are busy and there will always be more people reviewing then who previewed the game.
Playing on the intended difficulty, I found myself having to constantly seek cover from the ranged tyrranids, because there is no reliable way to regain health during combat. That's exactly what a space marine should be doing, hiding behind a corner so he doesn't get hurt. Also, you get stunned over and over and over again, even the smallest little zerglings can stun you. Gimmie a break.
I had to adjust to this game just like I did with Doom and Bloodborne- Be as aggressive as possible. Just like Doom, you regain health and armor through your finishers/executions, and just like Bloodborne you have a small window to regain health lost from an attack. So being standoffish or playing defensively just gets you overwhelmed, lock stunned, and killed. Keep moving and attacking nonstop while looking around the screen waiting to see ranged or melee attacks coming in so you can dodge the range, keep attacking, and counter their melee, and then keep attacking. Take advantage of those stunned executions as soon as you can. Even if you don't get it in time for the damage return health, you will still get an armor bar back every single time. So hit those executions like your life depends on it (because it does), regain health and armor like a vampire, and keep doing that until you're just running around in puddles of blood. 🫡
Also, getting real comfortable with being low health or near death was an adjustment as well. In most games this is when we panic, retreat to safety, and heal up. But with Doom and Space Marine, this is when you frenzy and desperately seek an execution to keep you alive, and then another, and another; until you regain the upper hand or just make it out of the battle alive by the skin of your teeth. Which I feel is pretty befitting of both the Ultramarine and the Doom Guy from an immersion standpoint. A never retreat, fight to the death type of soldier where the defensive strategy is just more violence.
Don't get me wrong because I really do want this game to be good... but people say the first game is good too and that was so, so boring so imma take this with salt.
While playing this on PC, do folks mainly still use an XBOX controller over a mouse and keyboard? If using mouse and keyboard, is the remapping of keys forgiving?
Haven't heard this kind of genuine enthusiasm for a game in your voice in some time. That's the only endorsement I need - can't fucking wait to dive into this campaign. Thanks for another kick ass review, as always.
Does PC to PS5 crossplay for Coop actually work?? My brother & I already got burned with the false promise of PS5/PC crossplay on Helldivers 2, would hate to see that repeat again here.
@@vik8023 Agreed! I'm still running mine and it hasn't given me any issues yet. I was gonna upgrade when the 5080 dropped, but I may wait till the mid gen refresh or maybe even later just since the 3080 is still going so strong.

He just wants you to know it runs well on his computer. Who cares about the 90% rest of players that don't have a 4090.
While the performance on a 4090 won't be relevant for most people, it's a good way to see if any performance issues are due to poor optimization. Games like Escape from Tarkov still run like shit on high-end hardware.
7:41 i like how even the human npcs look more like a main character than the concord characters, lol.
very excited for the game, it looks like it will be very fun in coop.
Can’t wait to check this one out. My body is hardened…for war.
I have to say, if there is one thing that I absolutely despise, is not being able to control who is jumping into my game. I usually only play with friends and hate pugs. Pugs usually will run off doing their own thing and not staying on track with what our group is doing and communicating. I really hope this gets patched.
If it’s a random that throws they should be banned for heresy .
At least from their roadmap that feature is coming in September still. Odd that it's missing, but better than nothing.
That's such a basic feature that should've been included from the get go.
@@mightymochi6320 Agreed, not sure why or how they thought it was a good idea to drop unknows in your game. that is what Matchmaking is for.

I doubt you remember me Karak but I used to comment on and watch all your videos when you had less than 15k subs (if I remember then number correctly lol), for some reason YT stopped recommending your videos and I kinda just forgot over time, never unsubbed btw as far as I know, well suddenly I am getting recommended your stuff again and I said "omg that guy was like the best reviewer ever and forgot all about him" lol, Im so happy to see the channel has grown and I will be here watching again, I remember when you used to the Caffeinated reviews!
I was going to get this on release, when I saw all the crap they want you to buy like early release and season pass I decided to just wait until it’s on sale at Christmas
@@Hydroah if the main campaign is good i don't really care to be honest. I know i'll get my moneys worth.
New missions will be free, only thing locked behind a paywall are cosmetics
The only "season pass" content is cosmetic stuff. You got it backwards, this is one of those rare games that will have all its single player story dlc and coop mission dlc completely free. You only need to spend more money if you want cosmetics
@@Hydroahonly cosmetic content is locked, nothing story related. All future story dlc both single player and coop will be available to everyone for no extra price. Do with that info as you will
My man is back, with another no BS review. Thank you for this awesomeness .

It’s so nice that this isnt another Soulslike. We need more games like this.
I'm so fed up with soulslikes
What GOOD soulslikes even are there besides Lies of P?
@@tomkeewukong?
@@d23 There is a lot of debate about whether it fits the definition, but even if it does there are very few good soulslikes.
Maybe I missed it. But is the close combat good? Chunky? Quick timey?
Saw alot of pauses and almost quick time style moments.
Does that play into the combat/finishers?
Is the combats the simply. Basic until heavy strike of space marine 1?
It's space marine 1 but upgraded. If you didn't like the first one you won't like this one. It's not clunky but you have to time your actions well. You can parry and dodge but it's not assassins creed easy, you have to be aware of enemies attacking at the same time or you'll die quickly. I'm loving the game but be aware of that
@jesse76th96 great! Is the combo the same xy, xxy, xxxy, type system?
Basic attack string ending with a heavy/special.
Or can you mix combos?
word from beta testers and the gaming community that this game was good but performance needed work........they werent lying this looks crazy!!!! I dont want to compare gears but this looks like gears on steroids like wow!
Gears 5 still looks insane I can only imagine what it’s gonna look like on pc
The gameplay looks kinda cool but even then this type of game will get boring pretty quick.
Thank you for your hard work ACG, your reviews are always the best 🙌🏼
Takes a lot for me to use my PC for more than watching TH-cam and sports in discord these days, but this was one of the 3 times a year a game comes around that I get lost in. Put in 18 hours this weekend playing the same first 4 missions of PVE. 1080ti older i7, zero issues on medium settings in 1440p
I'm watching the review because I want to hear about the game, and ACGs reviews are top tier, but i was already sold on space marine 2 when it was announced. Cannot wait until I get to play it finally.
As much as I like Wukong I have to say playing SM2 has reminded me what fun video games are all about. I’m so sick of every game having a ridiculous difficulty. Sure there’s a sense of satisfaction when you beat it but the majority of the time I am not having fun, it feels more of a chore. I am really really enjoying this game.
Yeah...this game is basically classic Gears. Just a dude bro game. None of this for modern audience nonsense....and I love it.
Looks like a great game even coming from someone who knows nothing of the series. Thanks for your time, ACG!
My concern with this is the cost vs play time. It’s an expensive game and the campaign is apparently only 5h long. Will I really repeat those operations for 30, 40, 50h to get my money’s worth?
@@Rich-in6ds I’ve heard most people say the campaign is 10. Not sure who said 5 - and the coop is ment to be replayed over and over to unlock and level up classes.
@fattony75 6 linear missions with no procedural generation or variety from run to run. Can’t see myself playing each more than a handful of times. Maybe 10-15h of content in those operations if we’re being generous. It needed like 12 missions or some kind of randomisation to keep each one fresh if it wanted to achieve high levels or replayability.
@@Rich-in6dsThe original game was about that long so I don’t know what you expect.
But 6 coop missions and a 6 hour campaign? Sounds like a "get on sales" game for me.
They have not released the full game yet and plus all there new missions and game modes are all going to be free. Like that's a no brainer when most games charge alot of money for expansion packs. I'm a no life this.
Plus there's modifiers and operations mode.
He'll most games would charge you for all the new armour and skins and customisation they currently have
@@menaceiwill1 What do you mean not full game? Reviewers got full game. We and they know everything about this game already, except pvp, which is never good in these types of games considering the nature of them. ~10 campaign + 6 missions is not a lot. Its extremely small content for 60€. Vermintide 2 launched with 13 missions and customization options. Darktide with 9. Both at 40€ at launch. Now, both COMBINED can be gotten for 26€ with x5 the content.
As for no brainer part, how do you know more content (missions for example) will be free? How often? You dont know. We dont know. So thinking 60€ is worth it, because "well, we MIGHT get more free missions in future" is stupid. If in 1 year its true and we have 10+ more FREE (again, NOT paid ones) misions, than sure, 60€ could be worth it, yet still just barely. Only at 40€ this could be a good deal.
Hell would froze before i pay 60 for a 6 hours game mate
@@menaceiwill1 Yeah, they haven't released the full game yet. Exactly why I'm not going to buy this on day-1.
Rofl, @menaceiwill1 must love early access games, except that this isn't EA nor is it live-service per say. For most gamers a 6 hour campaign and six operations isn't worth $60 bucks. The stuff in the roadmap should've been at release. It's wild that companies can hold back on content and get people like you so excited with "future content coming soon for FREE." This is going to be a banger in a year when it's on sale and they get release the actual full game.
Great honest review!! I really want this but 93.99 plus tax (CAD) is a bit steep for a base game might have to wait for a sale
"on a lower end pc with a 3080" oh boy, definitions of a low-end pc have been updated

@@boomcrutchbaileyMost commonly used card until about 12 months ago when it was overtaken by a 1660.
i think you have to look at the sentence a little more literally, he's calling the PC lower and WITH a 3080. The 3080 isn't the low, its the CPU.
@@CarnerioTostado He said "on THE lower end PC with a 3080", presumably meaning he has multiple rigs for testing and that is his weaker one.

Me: "Oh."
Found the heretic!
that was my thought. the tyranids bring the party. also, you are all food
very good review idk if you took my advice on anunciation of words and ideas, and pacing your speech to footage being shown in the video(i could tell because of the cuts in audio and video which is ok). but right off the bat, i could tell this was a very good and tailored review and is one of the many reasons why I'm subscribed, cant wait to see more quality content like this.
Yes cant wait to play
i think i Will enjoy the hell out of this game for the rest of the year!
Great vid. Looking forward to getting this one soon. What do you mean by "no ability to control mp joins"? So you can't go into pve or pvp with a private party of just your friends? Anyone can join your game?
Reviewers that claim to not be biased, but then brag about being invited to play early, and have interviews with devs and voice talent etc. are so insincere. That is why i LOVE this channel. Thank you
@@thehawk420 Bias based on preference that he did a good job at establishing early on. Everyone has preferences, not everyone has been schmoozed by devs, that's my main point.
@@markg4251he got schmoozed to just not as much he got an early copy like everyone else. Everyone else says it because otherwise people say their a shill so they acknowledge it rather then keep it hidden, I've seen plenty of reviewers get buttered up by dev teams and completely dumpster fire their games in the review.
@@buckheadblue4709 if you consider getting a review code as being schmoozed then idk if we will have enough common ground to argue on tbh. Can't trust any early review with that perspective. I do acknowledge some reviewers still dunk on a game made by devs that buttered them up, but they get to do that exactly ONCE per developer, if they are lucky
@markg4251 not really unless it's overwhelmingly harsh to the point that everyone else's reviews aren't as harsh then it doesn't really matter. Usually it's a separate team of people handling review codes that send the codes out to people who will help the games press, they aren't massive on reputation or previous history. Also the buttering up I said is the most that happens what you're on about is previews. They fly you out they pay for your hotel they let you interview devs and voice actors and let you play the game they don't do that for reviews, because people are busy and there will always be more people reviewing then who previewed the game.
2:34 this is basically just the xcom loading screen lol love it
Yesssssssss!
Wife, fetch me my ceramite armor!
🤔
And tell my wife, it was your idea...
Playing on the intended difficulty, I found myself having to constantly seek cover from the ranged tyrranids, because there is no reliable way to regain health during combat. That's exactly what a space marine should be doing, hiding behind a corner so he doesn't get hurt. Also, you get stunned over and over and over again, even the smallest little zerglings can stun you. Gimmie a break.
I had to adjust to this game just like I did with Doom and Bloodborne- Be as aggressive as possible. Just like Doom, you regain health and armor through your finishers/executions, and just like Bloodborne you have a small window to regain health lost from an attack. So being standoffish or playing defensively just gets you overwhelmed, lock stunned, and killed.
Keep moving and attacking nonstop while looking around the screen waiting to see ranged or melee attacks coming in so you can dodge the range, keep attacking, and counter their melee, and then keep attacking. Take advantage of those stunned executions as soon as you can. Even if you don't get it in time for the damage return health, you will still get an armor bar back every single time. So hit those executions like your life depends on it (because it does), regain health and armor like a vampire, and keep doing that until you're just running around in puddles of blood.
🫡
Also, getting real comfortable with being low health or near death was an adjustment as well. In most games this is when we panic, retreat to safety, and heal up. But with Doom and Space Marine, this is when you frenzy and desperately seek an execution to keep you alive, and then another, and another; until you regain the upper hand or just make it out of the battle alive by the skin of your teeth.
Which I feel is pretty befitting of both the Ultramarine and the Doom Guy from an immersion standpoint. A never retreat, fight to the death type of soldier where the defensive strategy is just more violence.
3080 is low end now? I am still rocking a 1660 super
He said lowER... As in compared to the other PC he described performance on, which had a 4090
Thanks for the in-depth review! I am curious about the performance for a 3080 at 4K though, using DLSS, would you say it runs well?
This is it!!! Get ready!
This looks sick, I can't wait to play this game.
Don't get me wrong because I really do want this game to be good... but people say the first game is good too and that was so, so boring so imma take this with salt.
Kinda but I think people say the first game is good out of nostalgia rather then anything else.
yeah first game is overrated
If you didn't like the first game, there's probably no point going for this - It's more of the same but bigger.
@@tenthirtyseven-v1 not for you then
I enjoy your direct no bs style of review. I appreciate the non watered down perspective.
This game is a welcome refreshment in a salty sea of mediocrity.
any word on the party size for pvp?
You are out of touch calling a 3080 low end lol
While playing this on PC, do folks mainly still use an XBOX controller over a mouse and keyboard? If using mouse and keyboard, is the remapping of keys forgiving?
You are the best ACG!!! The best reviewer
Haven't heard this kind of genuine enthusiasm for a game in your voice in some time. That's the only endorsement I need - can't fucking wait to dive into this campaign. Thanks for another kick ass review, as always.

Can you put your helmet on or does it force me to play without it? Kinda sucks for the whole fantasy of it if you can't.
Seems like there will be lack of content after 2 days of playing 10 hrs story mode and only3 online modes : /
I wouldnt worry about that since these guys are always very generous with their post launch contents and support. Just look at World War Z.
Now all I really need is a Sisters of Battle expansion.
So stoked.
We need a Battlefield game with Warhammer 40k. They have everything we need, ships, tanks, weapons!! Can you imagine? Oh man I would love that!
hearing ''lower end PC'' and ''3080'' in the same sentence feels very odd and wrong
lol right? A couple years ago, that card was literally being scalped for $1400. While it's no longer top tier sure, it is farrr from low end
@@CargoShorts7 it's still expensive, and still very much an amazing card imo, still runs everything at 1440p maxed graphics usually 80~ fps
@@vik8023 Agreed! I'm still running mine and it hasn't given me any issues yet. I was gonna upgrade when the 5080 dropped, but I may wait till the mid gen refresh or maybe even later just since the 3080 is still going so strong.
because it is wrong. its upper middle at worst
He wasn't calling it low end, he was describing it in relative terms compared to the 4090 rig
