Oh, sweet Emperor, here we go again! Warhammer 40K: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition dropped this week, and the only thing “master crafted” about it is the level of disappointment it’s serving. Fans are dragging this title through the warp and back, calling it a ‘cash grab.’ Well, duh! 🙄 Did you really expect anything else? It’s like they saw Space Marine 2 hype and thought, “Let’s slap a new coat of paint on the old rust bucket and call it a day!” Genius! 🤣
The Warhammer 40K universe has been so generous lately, blessing us with free updates for Darktide and the promise of Space Marine 2. But then, like a rogue psyker, BAM!💥 We get the Master Crafted Edition, a supposed remaster of Captain Titus’s original adventure. And by “remastered,” I guess they meant “slightly tweaked and overpriced.” The internet is now ablaze with the righteous fury of a thousand bolters, and honestly, it’s hilarious. 😂
Over on Reddit, those brave keyboard warriors have assembled a thread titled “Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Master Crafted Edition is a mess.” Mess? That’s an understatement! It’s more like a bio-titan took a dump on my expectations. One fan, bless their soul, called it a “shameless, blatant cash grab.” No subtlety there! Others are complaining about game-breaking bugs. I mean, come on, bugs? In a Warhammer 40K game? That’s just thematic! 🪰 Some are even saying the Anniversary Edition from 2021 is better. The Anniversary Edition! That’s like saying your grandma’s cooking is better than a Michelin star chef. Oh wait, it probably is! 👵
And let’s not forget Steam, where the Master Crafted Edition is sitting pretty with a “mostly negative” reception. It’s like watching a guardsman try to fight a greater daemon – utterly futile. People are practically begging others to buy the Anniversary Edition instead, especially since it was briefly cheaper. But now the price climbed back up? What a twist! It’s like the Emperor himself is trolling us. 🔱
But wait, there’s a twist! Over on Xbox, some folks are actually enjoying the game. What gives? 🤔 Turns out, Xbox Game Pass users get the Master Crafted Edition as part of their subscription. Ah, so they’re playing it for “free.” That explains the lack of pitchforks. If you’re not paying extra, you’re less likely to complain, right? It’s the age-old wisdom of “free” stuff being good enough.
SEGA and Relic Entertainment have yet to respond to the raging inferno of discontent. Probably too busy counting their money. 💰 Or maybe they’re just hoping we’ll all forget about it when Space Marine 2 finally drops. Good luck with that! This is the internet, after all. We never forget! 😈
So, to sum it up, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition is a hot mess. A glorious, hilarious, predictable hot mess. If you’re looking for a good laugh at the expense of a soulless corporation, then by all means, buy it. Otherwise, stick with the Anniversary Edition, or better yet, just wait for Space Marine 2. Your sanity (and your wallet) will thank you. 🙏
