What would you say would be the traits of a tabletop game intended

the original gears of war was mostly about sitting in cover forever taking pot shots and being bored. Eventually you tired of it and started exploiting the bad ai and hid around a corner with the chainsaw.

the new doom is about running around like 4 year old blasting apart everything in your way

they were very different

>>48720050
You mean overly macho guys with absurdly overdesigned weapons blowing apart enemies to messy chunks while trying to avoid a similar fate themselves?

Dark Heresy, easy.

Deathwatch. You can punch humans to death. I think you get an ability where you can double a stat once a day, and can punch to death a hive tyrant, but I'm not so sure.

Also, you fight lesser creatures as a swarm, so there's that 1 VS many thing.

You also get miniatures to use

Wouldn't Deathwatch fit be-
>>48720162
Oh, okay

>>48720050
What's God of War got to do with the three others?

>>48720162
You can also get so strong you can throw a terminator so far up into the air that the fall damage will kill him.

>>48720241
Wouldn't that have to be, like, high orbit?

>>48720178
I kinda lump them all under Dark Heresy mentally, Deathwatch was specifically what I meant.
Though I did play an Only War game that ended up feeling very Gears-ish.

>>48720260
Not in Deathwatch, where fall damage ignores armour.

>>48720260
Depends on who's writing, obviously.

>>48720290
Aren't they designed to be dropped from spaceships, though?

>>48720746
No

>>48720746
In drop pods. You're thinking SPARTAN-IIs.

>>48720746
no, they teleport from spaceships.

>>48720960
If you take that option

>>48720746
No, that's drop pods.
A marine with a jump pack can be dropped from a thunderhawk gunship, but that is a very different thing from a spaceship in 40k.

>>48720050
fast, shooty, brutal executions, lethal, cover is important (or speed)

>>48720182
Similar case of testosterone poisoning, similar fascination with ultra gory finishing moves.
