Finishing off the game revealed a finale that's worthy of the game and surprisingly the franchise as well. At least in my view but maybe I've been corrupted by Chaos in speaking such heresy.
I've said the games version of 40k is a watered down version, but it is worth it.
Reading up some more on the game and it's characters the wiki entery for Titus had a good line; "The Space Marine video game takes place in a parallel Warhammer 40,000 universe where the Ultramarines 2nd Company is commanded by Captain Titus rather than Cato Sicarius." And as we all know both time travel and parallel universes can change cannon etc.... etc... (Insert verbose 40k heretical screams here).
The final fight was better than a straight forward weapon slugfest, but was itself a bit too long. At least it felt that way. Thankfully I cut most of it out for the Youtube upload. There's only so many times you can punch a chaos lord in the face and be entertained.... Left click(punch) x6, space(dodge), Left click x5, space, Left click x4, space.... But it was worth it in the end.
The second game would have been interesting if a bit more divergent from the universe it's based on.
There is also a good reddit post about the games ending and the main character. Discussions like it are one of the reasons I really like 40k and in a way it's no wonder I'm 'so' into the the likes of the clans in Battletech.
