[QUOTE=Trainbike;38335605]Space Marine alone is way more grimdark than GW themselves have been lately :v:[/QUOTE]

Space Marine wasn't grimdark? It was darker than the blackest night compared to the shit GW has been putting out lately. I mean, have you seen the Heldrake? It looks like something from fucking Power Rangers or whatever.
I hope they're bought by someone who'll decide to do something with the Homeworld franchise that THQ currently sits on.
buying stock in them this month, even if they dropped i supported a company that has nothing but good companies within.
And yet people complain about their dlcs when they obviously need the money, but no people would rather give it to ea and Activision

Not really the point
[QUOTE=Raidyr;38336067]It was their most pre-ordered game.[/QUOTE]
Post release, nnnot so much...
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;38332374]No fucking shit darksiders 2 had disappointing sales, the game was barely even marketed.

THQ sucks at marketing.[/QUOTE]
they cant be doing that bad, i knew about the new metro
i didn't know halo 4 existed until today
I'm hoping they can release CoH2 before they go bust, THQ was always one of my favorites for games.
I don't het this. THQ released a lot of games that did really well, and we're quite well received; Saints Row series, WH40k games and related DLC and I think they also released the first Metro?
Where did all that money go? Too much overhead? Hookers and blow? Bonfire night?

Funding development for too many games at the same time and expecting releases to sell enough to keep the development for all the other titles running.
I don't think the main problem is that they don't have enough money, but that they have just enough money and if the releases keep failing to hit the esitmations they won't have money to fund the making of games they really want to make.

Looks AMAZING, weather effects look like a decent feature aswell
Guys what if EA buys out THQ?
oh god i don't think i could handle that.
I hope the new Saints Row is unaffected
Awww, I loved Metro

uDraw. They blew too much cash on uDraw and shitty kids games.

This fucking thing
Disney buys THQ.
At this time i´ll never see a Homeworld 3 game.
Is just a real shame.
Hopefully they can turn it around. I want more games from Relic.
Valve buys THQ, All future DLC is free, All games have SDKs.

I want to belive.

Valve should become it's own nation. It shall become a sanctuary for all disillusioned game companies, where they would not be used as pawns for major shit corporations, and where they would always have a place, be it on the game market or in society in general[url=http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Outer_Heaven].[/url]
[b]Edit[/b]: No one got the MGS reference? For shame, Facepunch.
New Saints Row with destructible environments and Johnny Gat plz.
This is a damn shame, their lastest major release Darksiders 2 is a great game. Unfortunately they did not sell that well due to some marketing. I liked Darksiders 1 & 2.
I kind of agree about how THQ kinda sucks with advertising. The TV commercial for Saints Row: The Third made it seem like some bizarre dress up game. I know how you look IS a thing, but it was practically the only thing the commercial highlighted.
As long as they get through to finishing Metro Last Light, I'm fine.

They probably will be fine too, once they release it.
[QUOTE=dgg;38383219]Weak.
I [B]LOVE[/B] Darksider 1 & 2.[/QUOTE]
I like backtracking during games, except for Dark Souls because I am a DS fanboy.
