    Why is Space Marine dead?

    Alright, I haven't played it for several months, but now I log back in to smash some face and there's noone playing. In the entire world.

    It grew stagnant for a lot of us. Only having like 3 maps to play on was kinda dull. and now they have more maps out sure(haven't played em yet) but they have to compete with all the other awesome games that just came out. Skyrim, Starwars, etc. etc.

    yeah... haven't touched the game since skyrim came out. and then I got more games over Christmas that will get played once I finish out Skyrim...

    I know a guy that can fix it for $35. He fixed JWs in about 30 minutes while I waited.

    The game's not bad, but it lacks replay value. I had fun with it, but I was able to very quickly place it as one of those games I wish I had rented rather than buying.

    Agree with all above. Bf3 and mw3 have my attention now. SM got a little stale. But a great first try.

    Imagine that yet another GW game product that does not make it. LOL, as some one old enough to rember "Space Hulk" for the pc I find it funny as hell that GW often misses the mark when it comes to video games. Whats even more delicious and rich in irony is GW back in the day said they would never do a card game or a video game of there product, "you just cant have the same quality in a card as you can in a model". A paraphrase of there statement about why they would never make a card game. The lesson here is that GW should stop trying to make it big in other fields. Focus more on what they used to be awesome at, making a product that was superior to all the others.

    Well, I mean that's obvious. Take a look at the market today: name one video game title where orcs and humans (with various other supporting races on each side) are in a constant struggle only occasionally interrupted by a third party nemesis such as the undead or forces from outside the material plane. I mean, it'd be even more ludicrous to think someone would try to make that work with space marines fighting space bugs and space totallynotelves. You could try to come up with games that look just like that and totally aren't related in any way to the IP, but you'd have better luck trying to 'Craft a Blizzard from GW's IP.
