Thank God you had an explanation for that calth gaff. If it was a gaff. I raised my eyebrows at that and put it down as a mistake, but your explanation makes sense more so given how much he hates the traitors
I was confused there too. I’m not 100% on my primaris lore, but I thought maybe the marines they had frozen could have been taken from heresy areas? Tho pretty wild any children made it thru Calth lol
Right. All the grey shields are traceable to the heresy era, left in stasis for 1000s of years during their creation as primaris marines (much is explained in the Dark Imperium trilogy).
6:54:56 This is my favorite moment in the entire campaign. The Dreadnought gets so pissy that he cannot kill Magnus himself that he goes on a murder-hobo rampage before yeeting an entire statue to obliterate the helldrake. No-one is going to out flex this Brother. #BuiltDifferent.
I really like that the Dreadnought is possibly old enough that at some point, it might have been a possibility for him to have faced the Thousand Sons under the direct guidance of Magnus himself. It was cool to me that it's like waking grandpa up from a nap and even after hundreds or thousands of years, he's still holding that grudge and ready to start swinging against the enemies of Mankind.
5:32:00 there is a secret/Easter egg: if you hit 10+ objects while jump pack dive you'll get "my FACE is my shield" achievement. They developers know how to cook.
One of the most enjoyable play-throughs I have ever seen. Your joy and passion for this franchise is undeniable and it shows. Thank you for letting me experience the W40K universe through your eyes.
4:43:02 This is my favorite little moment in the game. That Guardsman. His last moment was seeing a trio of the Emperor’s own moving to avenge both him and his Unit. It exemplifies the wider story of Warhammer 40k. Fleeting hope and assured retribution against those who would snuff out life so callously. 10/10
I love how they had Titus change the course of the war by him sharing the experiences he learned from serving with the deathwatch (like when he pointed out where the hive tyrant was likely to be). It really gives credence to the necessity of the Deathwatch when the space Marines go back to their respective chapters after their watch has concluded. (If they live of course). 😊
Nothing beats watching a Space Marine 2 walkthrough by a genuine 40k fan, I swear watching your sincere reactions to how they brought the universe to the gaming screen was just as, if not more, fun to watch than the gameplay (which was spectacular!) Thank you for sharing your first-hand experience of this game with us!
06:30:05 If you hold back and let the Major speak, she says her commisar shot over a dozen men, then shot himself to be doubly sure. Some dark humour there
The bit in the last mission when you pick up the standard is very reminiscent of the old 40k artwork (like crimson fists) where all the marines are piled up in a circle surrounding the marine at the top. Absolutely bloody fantastic
The 40k immersion was off the charts, never has a game been able to immerse you in the Space Marine experience as well. The first game came close but Saber really knocked it out of the park.
The Last Stand of the Crimson Fists, yeah. Valrak shouted it pretty happily. Ive got the 2nd ed SM codex, and thats the cover art, with Pedro Kantor right there in the middle, Banner Raised.
Some of the Primaris are ten thousand years old because Cawl froze a lot of them throughout the ages while recruiting and experimenting for the Primaris, which is why Chairon can claim to have been at Calth during the Heresy.
@@JayPlusForerunner And interesting, considering these marines can claim to KNOW what was going on then vs the taught history edited by the inquisition...
i find it hilarious also, being an orks/iron warriors fan. Space marines are probably my least favorite race, and ultramarines one of my least favorite chapters, but good 40k is still good 40k and i want more.
I so hope if we get DLC operation missions that involves that tomb world. I’d imagine all the fighting above would have woken up some mechanical horrors on that planet.
I believe its been confirmed that they will add more missions and a new enemy faction. No mention of what faction, but I'm sure it'll be Necrons. Perhaps awakened after tall the shit that happened on the tomb world
Wondering if Chairon's weird berserker rage moment is linked to how Guilliman has been known to fall into blind rages, is it a possible gene-flaw of the Ultramarines? It ironically reminds me of when Guilliman went berserk at Calth after being flung out into space
You can play with subtitles speaker visibility and that shows ''Calgar: Rise, son of Guilliman'' so as much I would love to believe it is the emperor, it is not.
@@Nilsane Guess what mate…the patch notes from today state “fixed an unidentified voice at the end of the story that was assigned to the wrong character.” NOW WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COULD THAT POSSIBLY MEAN¿?¿?¿? BIIIIIIIIIIIG EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BAAABBBYYYYYYYYYY
It sucks they initially screwed that up, because that's such an awesome moment and you can clearly tell it's not meant to be Calgar if there is no subtitle there.
i wasn't expecting necron stuff/calgar/leonidas at all, so i'm glad that wasn't spoiled for me. Not even an ultramarine fan but i got goosebumps when calgar showed up.
As much hate as Leandros gets, he makes a damn fine Chaplain. Pious, commanding, intimidating, and suspicious to a fault. He was probably put there both as penance and because it's a perfect fit for him.
@@ShadowFri3nd They can, but the Chaplaincy has its own chain of command independent of the company's hierarchy. After Chaplain you have the Reclusiarch, who is responsible for overseeing chapter relics and training new Chaplains. Then there's the highest rank, the Master of Sanctity, who is responsible for assigning and transferring Chaplains between Companies.
Assigning Leandros to the chaplaincy was a masterful stroke of writing, and I will explain. By the end of Space Marine 1, it is clear that Leandros does NOT understand the Codex. It is not a set of unyielding rules, it is not the end-all, be-all of military doctrine. The Codex Astartes is a set of suggestions, written by the greatest tactician in imperial history as, I repeat, a set of suggestions. To be a chaplain, however, one must understand the rules. You can't tell your battle brothers that death is the reward while you're flaunting the rules yourself. You must BELIEVE that you embody the very tenets of the codex. You ARE the Codex and you ARE the scriptures. Leandros was assigned to be a chaplain because a) Calgar knew that Leandros snitched to the Inquisition instead of talking to a Chaplain and b) being on the receiving end of a crocius for a few decades will beat the respect of his elders into anyone. TL;DR: Marneus Calgar assigned Leandros to be a Chaplain because maybe then he'll understand what the Codex actually teaches.
@@xanmontes8715"Plans never survive contact with the enemy." - Helmuth Von Moltke I think the way the codex is meant to be interpreted also matches this.
Still can't believe this game exists, what an awesome campaign with PvE and even campaign coop, nowadays it's so rare, the passion Valrak has seeing 40k being represented this way is infectious and awesome to behold!
love calgar, a man so good at what he does that even his primarch robot girlyman politely and humbly asked permission to take control of the chapter from calgar
The attention to detail when it came to the Thousand Sons where they didn't shed a drop a blood, and sand poured out of their armors is what did it for me. Loved the campaign!
I really wish total biscuit live long enough to play this game I believe he was the one who introduced me to the Warhammer 4K universe when the first game came out I really didn’t got into it until like say maybe 2017, 2018 and started painting the miniatures in 2020 RIP man you are still missed
Thank you for turning the subtitles on! Because us, non-native english speakers, might miss something in the dialogue much easier than native speakers! But this game is AWESOME!!! You feel like being a Space Marine in a real war. Your not just the hero (while you still are) but an important cog in the war machine!! The world is alive around you and how beautiful the devs have make it!!
i dont know why I really didn't think about it before but Guilliman is trying to seal the eye of terror with the Necron Pylons and im guessing that those giant things are the pylons those "obelisks"
@@TheEclipse420 it's not that Leuze is heretic. He truly believed that his actions are good. Just chaos doing chaos thing and they told him that in order for it to work he need to turn mini obelisk upside down. And that single action turned pylons from Anti-warp weapons to warp amplifying machines.
The biggest missopportunities in my opinion this campaign were: 1. no vehicle section to break from the repetitive combat (even if its enjoyable) I was also pumped and sure we would drive or at least fire the minigun of that Repulsor while spearheading an assault (hope we see a spec ops operation like this later on) 2. no cameo from a different Chapter, ok I don't expect to see Blood Ravens again but considering that Avarax is full of Blood Angel temples we should at least meet with a few of them during our missions there. 3. no special operation showing the actions of Viridian and Talasa squad during the final mission but am almost sure this will be part of a future season. 4. also a small nit pick I have is that we went through all that Necron stuff but not a single Necron in sight, you can't possible convince me they are all done for. (that's actually what I hope the so called "new enemy" the roadmap mentioned is)
Technically we do see space marines from other chapters. In the Death Watch tutorial mission your squad mates are a Dark Angel, a Black Templar, a Space Wolf, and a Blood Angel. But I get what you mean.
1) while they may have been able to add some vehicles parts they would have been too short to matter. Space Marine are not really meant to be tank force they are heavy rapid Assualt infantry on the offensive mostly. Special ops of the Special ops. The Blood Angels and all their Successors are in Imperial Nilus on the other side of the rift. There is no way they can show up in this game outside of being Death Watch. 3. They need to save some easy stuff to add for DLC and extra missions. Likely to buy time for more content in development. 4. Not every Necron ruin has Necrons sleeping in them. So it is possible to find one's where you don't fight.
Agree with pretty much everything except having a vehicle section. Vehicle sections are generally extremely lazy and just an interactive cut-scene on rails. It doesn't really add anything that a cutscene wouldn't.
Lost my friend in a college who is a massive gamer last sunday. A moment of silence for our brothers and sisters who has fallen before this day. FOR THE EMPEROR!!!
Obviously the Ultramarines are the star of the show here, but I also love the compliment this game pays to the Cadians. Obviously they're "just" guardsmen, but the developers did a whole lot to show just how hardcore they are without it being corny or unrealistic for the setting. Also, maybe the best finale of a Warhammer game EVER.
What an absolutely stunning game, such a breath of fresh air. Speaking of breath, I love the imperial guardsmen bellowing out orders . Especially just after the APC goes through the door “ hold formation !!! “ so good
I found your channel @Chapter Master Valrak in 2011 with the original Space Marine Game. I have been a loyal follower and son of the emperor since. You have stoked my fervor for the 40k, from a single game to multiple books. I have been playing SM2 since release, but have only now gotten a chance to watch your playthrough. Thank you for sharing your passion and joy for this game. I'm glad we got here and that we are fultilling so many of our dreams from back when I first joined your followers. Great job brother! Keep doing you. See you on the anvil of war. Thank you
Yesss, been watching so many playthroughs and finally found a playthrough from a true 40k nerd. As a fairly new 40k fan it's so fun seeing long-term fans being able to see their favorite franchises truly brought to life in modern media.
I hope there will be campaign expansions/DLC. That's what the ending seems to set up. And I don't even mind if it's paid expansions. Because I don't think I'll be able to wait another 13 years for a sequel.
Just finished it a few minutes ago, so happy with how this turned out, the devs did an amazing job. Looking forward to see what the future holds in terms of sequels.
I just can't help but smile the whole time as I see true fan of W40K play this. You made me excited by just watching you. Thank you for sharing the joy!
god bless you man. I really wanted to see someone who plays the game and knows the backstory of each scene. And also thanks alot for turning on the subtitles.
I just finished watching the whole video. although I don't know anything about Warhammer but you really grasped my attention with your enthusiasm and explanation. I'm going now to read more about this wonderful universe and it's all thanks to you my friend. hopefully it will the start for something beautiful.
Watching someone like Valrak, who is so excited and knowledgeable about 40k play this just hits different. It was so fun seeing his reaction to the settings, the vehicles, the Tyranids and of course the characters. This was well worth the 7.5 hours.
I just finished this video so let me say that it has been a pleasure to watch a fan of 40K experience the game and appreciate all the details and work that was put into it. The Emperor protects, brother.
Anybody remembers the story where Uriel Ventris meets Guilliman in the Dark Imperium Novel and Guilliman basicly tells Uriel that rules are there to be broken. I would really like that unspecified Mission Titus is going on at the end to contain a similar meeting with Guilliman. And the cherry on the cake would be if leandros was force to attend the meeting aswell and being told by Guilliman that nobody need a rule loving Son like him.
I love the meltagun in this game. It has such perfect crowd control. It's just run in first and shoot right into the masses, your helpers can take care of the leftovers that managed to survive the onslaught. Saved my behind several times and a good solution to many of my in game problems
it's kind of hard to deliver exposition in the middle of an action set piece don't you think? You have to stop shooting so you can know what your shooting at.
Never did i believe that we would actually get a sequel to one of the greatest Warhammer 40K games. Now after seeing the reveal trailer a couple of years ago and finally playing myself and watching Valrak play the story through, makes me happy and excited for the future of this hobby. Even if my wallet and bank account suffer miserably it will all be in the name of the Emperor.
I really love that this game even tho the story is simple, it's badass as hell. Reminding us that game is supposed to be fun and they nail it, thx you saber and thx you for this video Valrak. The emperor protects
Give it some thought Valrak, If the Grey Knights did not think what was going on here was worth their attention. Imagine how bad planets have to be to actually require their attention.
I just love how we as a community have been so engrossed in the lore that we say the same lines as the characters in universe when we play games like these.

Just finished it a few minutes ago, so happy with how this turned out, the devs did an amazing job. Looking forward to see what the future holds in terms of sequels.
I just can't help but smile the whole time as I see true fan of W40K play this. You made me excited by just watching you. Thank you for sharing the joy!
really loved the series mate, your enthusiasm made it so fun
god bless you man. I really wanted to see someone who plays the game and knows the backstory of each scene.
And also thanks alot for turning on the subtitles.
I just finished watching the whole video. although I don't know anything about Warhammer but you really grasped my attention with your enthusiasm and explanation. I'm going now to read more about this wonderful universe and it's all thanks to you my friend. hopefully it will the start for something beautiful.
"It's not fair!"
Valrak of the Iron Warriors 2024
Watching someone like Valrak, who is so excited and knowledgeable about 40k play this just hits different. It was so fun seeing his reaction to the settings, the vehicles, the Tyranids and of course the characters. This was well worth the 7.5 hours.
I just finished this video so let me say that it has been a pleasure to watch a fan of 40K experience the game and appreciate all the details and work that was put into it. The Emperor protects, brother.
This is the type of gameplay i want to see, Valrak being a total nerd over everything in this game. I love it!
I took a shot everytime Valrak said 'Emperor' and I'm now in the Immaterium. Help me Brothers 😭
Have you seen my sword anywhere? I cannot find it!
The joy in your face when playing this game is the same as me
Im convinced the voice Titus heard when he was knocked out wasn't Calgar.
Anybody remembers the story where Uriel Ventris meets Guilliman in the Dark Imperium Novel and Guilliman basicly tells Uriel that rules are there to be broken. I would really like that unspecified Mission Titus is going on at the end to contain a similar meeting with Guilliman. And the cherry on the cake would be if leandros was force to attend the meeting aswell and being told by Guilliman that nobody need a rule loving Son like him.
Your excitment is so genuine!
I love the meltagun in this game. It has such perfect crowd control. It's just run in first and shoot right into the masses, your helpers can take care of the leftovers that managed to survive the onslaught. Saved my behind several times and a good solution to many of my in game problems
Seeing a franchise vet's reaction to that Chaplain reveal. It makes being a part of community fun.
I'm glad you uploaded the whole campaign in one video with timestamps✊
Every scene with Calgar was epic and had me so excited
A full hour of this is pushing rocks and riding elevators 🤣
Is rather break rocks and ride elevators than sit at loading screens. It's a cool trade off
it's kind of hard to deliver exposition in the middle of an action set piece don't you think?
You have to stop shooting so you can know what your shooting at.
This has got to be one of the best sequels of all time. Praise the Emperor!
The finale hit me right to the core of the earth! And Leandros! So epic game!
For the emperor
Its wholesome to see someone have so much passion for something!
I smelled Leandros as soon as he appeared. The malice the Chaplain had was always so personal. It was clear after awhile.
Never did i believe that we would actually get a sequel to one of the greatest Warhammer 40K games. Now after seeing the reveal trailer a couple of years ago and finally playing myself and watching Valrak play the story through, makes me happy and excited for the future of this hobby. Even if my wallet and bank account suffer miserably it will all be in the name of the Emperor.
Bloody excellent, great playthrough by the throne, passion is through the roof 🔥
Just played and finished this game. Made me get back into warhammer. We need more games like this.
Holy Emperor !!a full playthrough!! Thank you Brother 🙏🗿
glad to see your gameplay brother! Its been a long time coming
I really love that this game even tho the story is simple, it's badass as hell. Reminding us that game is supposed to be fun and they nail it, thx you saber and thx you for this video Valrak. The emperor protects
Is it me or does a Scottish VA make everything he says so epic/inspiring?
Nice to see Aatrox finding a hobby more suited to his linguistic nature.
He became a bookworm.
Give it some thought Valrak, If the Grey Knights did not think what was going on here was worth their attention. Imagine how bad planets have to be to actually require their attention.
I just love how we as a community have been so engrossed in the lore that we say the same lines as the characters in universe when we play games like these.
The last mission of this game was worth the entire purchase price alone. It’s every 40k fans dream
Can't wait to see that final mission in that Secret Level show from Amazon!
They knew what they were doing!
Praise the Emperor!!
massive W with the subs there
you should make a vid walking through the battlebarge and explaining the various sights within it.
2:15:51
Cleanest catch of a nid I've ever seen! Praise the Imperial Fist
6:39:05 the amount of energy gained watching this part 🔥🔥🔥🔥
6:54:22 I am confused; the dreadnought's name is "Valius", but the Tactical class's name is also Valius. What could this mean??
Comment for the algorithm, I mean for the emperor. Great play through, from reveal to the release awesome journey.
I feel Calgar has to know about Leandros (there for he probably does not really care for him as well)
