It's actually a god damn crime that Space Marine never got the trilogy that was planned for it.

If we are going to call every single corporate decision a crime, the only logical course of action would be to outlaw capitalism.

I think the big issue is a lot of people think of it as a third person shooter like GoW for some reason. If you approach it as a character action game it improves a bit, at least for me it did.

This was one game for me where Totalbiscuit's squeeing fanboyism in his review got me totally on board. It was probably the most true-to-material 40k video game I've ever played, even though I sunk many more hours into Dawn of War.

Incorrect. The best parts of the game are the ones with Mira in them.

My only real complaint about Space Marine is the complete lack of... well, Space Marines.

I mean I think I'm already half-way through the game and I've yet to see any other Space Marines except of course for Titus and Sidonus.

Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

Because if there's one thing the Imperium is known for, it's the absolutely unrestricted free trade of goods and services, utterly unhindered by the vast bureaucracy and rigid dogmas so common in the realm of Man.
