Why are you asking?

That's interesting.

I played the demo, but it didn't grab me.

I didn't look at the Orc models; I didn't have time. The game is good; the only problem is that sometimes it lacks a "Captain Obvious." Seriously, there are moments that aren't immediately clear (or maybe not at three in the morning, but still). Also, the uneven difficulty is annoying; sometimes you pass through everything quite easily, and then a horde appears, with several kamikaze units mixed in, and you have to reload five or six times. Personally, I don't like the third element – you have to find servo-skulls in various places, which reveal more of the plot, but I just don't like crawling around in all sorts of holes, and sometimes there's simply no time for it. For example, I even know where the first skull I missed was located, but I realized this after the chapter with it was over. I could have gone back, but it was somewhere high up, and I had to fly there with a jetpack, but after the chapter, they took it away from me. And there's no way to go back to a previous save – hello, checkpoint system and a single save from the days of Sega and Dendy, which is my fourth complaint. And the fifth complaint isn't about the game itself in its original form; Akella, as always, "tried" with the translation. Titus became Tit, and instead of Guilliman, they have Gulliman. The voices of the Space Marines are like those of a group of 20-year-old nerds; only the gray-haired sergeant is somewhat normal; it's better not to listen to the others. The Orcs were voiced by people from the linguistics department, apparently; they speak better than the Space Marines and the Guard. And in general, once again, the translators are not familiar with Warhammer itself, so there are translation errors up to...Tzeentch! Now, for the positives. First and foremost, the game is a slasher, and the combat is incredibly engaging. There are combos, finishing moves in the style of Warhammer, liters, hundreds of liters of tomato juice, and even a separate dismemberment model for each enemy (except for Gretchin; these little guys are torn apart immediately). Plus, there's the option to shoot if you want, and sometimes it's necessary (there are headshots, although it's incredibly awkward to do them without a sniper rifle), and a rage mode that activates when needed, not when the meter fills up, which is convenient. The Warhammer atmosphere is conveyed quite well; in my opinion, even better than in Dawn of War. The only complaint is that once again, those who follow the Codex Astartes the most are violating it. The Primarch of the Ultramarines, the creator of the Codex, wouldn't have the Ultramarines violate it, but no, we play as them again, and not as the Space Wolves, who don't care about the Codex. In Multiplayer, there's a lively and active combat scene; I haven't seen anything like it on my computer since Rune. Yes, you have to grind persistently (your account levels up, and weapons, etc., are unlocked), but it's worth it. The graphics are excellent, the original sound is excellent, and the game is well-optimized. I thought it would lag on the minimum settings, but it ran everything at the maximum, except for the shadows, but who needs them? Overall, my impressions are positive so far, and I don't regret buying it.

Titus became Tit.

That's how it should be; when translating to Russian, the "s" at the end of words either disappears or is replaced with "iy".

Death to the false emperor!

Good morning, Omega. Where have you been for the last six years, during which almost all games have switched to console-style gameplay?

Akella, as always, "tried" with the translation.

But he claimed to be an English elitist. He must have been lying. I can't imagine how you can play Warhammer with a Russian translation. Didn't he enjoy "can-killers," "GRAAAA," and "earth raiders" in his time?<

Even if it's Tithius, not Titus.

Good morning, Omega. Where have you been for the past six years, during which almost all games have switched to being console-focused?

In strategy games and RPGs, of course. I don't like action games, except for rare cases like UT or, for example, Space Marines.

But you claimed to be part of the English-speaking elite. You must have been lying. I can't imagine how anyone could play Warhammer with a Russian translation. Didn't you enjoy "can-killers," "GRAAA," and "earth raiders" back in the day?

Ordering a collector's edition from abroad would be expensive, and I don't have the money for that. Besides, it's a hassle, and I'm too lazy to deal with it. I wasn't lying; you're just taking things out of context again. We were talking about pirated copies, which, as you know, always come with English versions. And there are good Russian translations available, so there's no reason not to use them. In Warhammer, I enjoyed "Reclusiarch" the most, which is what the chaplain suddenly turned into in the hands of "Buka."

even if it were Titius, rather than Titus

TITUS. The main character's name is generally unfortunate, in any translation and even in the original.

there are good translations into Russian, and it would be a sin not to use them

I prefer to indulge.

even if it were Titius, and not Titus.

Should I remind you about Titus Livius?

Sorry, Titus still grates on me. Although maybe it’s a good thing, but still.

Yes, that's correct. And, in general, one of the professors from "Harry Potter" should actually be named Severus in a proper translation.

By the way, Titus Cassar appears in the books.

So? It just shows that they are bad translators, that’s all.

This shows that names don't always need to be translated. After all, everywhere we see John, and not Ivan. I don't understand why some names are translated, and others aren't. Therefore, even though I'm not a big fan of changes, not everything old is good.

I used to play Arcomage.

The King awakens while all the citizens of the kingdom are still asleep.

you are such a scoundrel.
