And?
How can you frick up something you've already made at least twice?
first time?
VT 1 and 2 had one thing dark tide doesn’t - progression.
Even if 1 had RNG gear, once you had it, that was it, you could switch between any class with impugnity.
Even if it took longer to level up in 2 than it did in 1, you could still pick a new weapon and roll with it at any time
The hamster wheel in Dt just takes the piss. To get something decent you have to either;
1) wait for the shop to give you an item you want, hope it’s got good stats, then upgrade it and hope you continue to get good stats. You can only do this once every hour, and 9/10 you’ll find jack shit that’s worth it
2) hope the mission reward gives you something good (it won’t)
3) go on the mission hamster wheel (which, given the mission selector, isn’t even a guarantee) to afford a weapon that refreshes every day, which again probably won’t even be good
Now sure, you can just do malice, which can be done with a broken chair leg and harsh language, or take a gamble you won’t get kicked from heresy or above, but who the frick wants to do that?
It's Fartshart, you literally described their MO
I ate frozen pizza 3 days in a row and on the 3rd day I've burned it because I played DRG and forgot about it
your subconsious let you burn it, because your mind is smarter than you and didn't want to keep eating that trash
They fricked up the other 2 times
We fricking warned you, Fatshart is horribly incompetent. By the time they go back to actually developing and half-assing fixes their main focus will be selling DLC and monetizing.
Fatshark has been scamming for over ten years now.
Stop underestimating how stupid developers can be. I work in webdev and this is a problem I am literally dealing with at work, right now

And now Darktide
They make promises they can't keep, abandon the game to make a console port, throw out fixes and then abandon it.
Too bad they stumbled upon the most vengeful fanbase around.
Relic almost went bankrupt after dow3 and now they are stuck forever developing shovelware and CoH3 after losing the 40k license
40k fans don't really care for vidya games, only care for playing with their dolls. GW should learn it

GW are exceedingly good at milking us, they have no learning to do.

The devs deserve a lashing and being chained to a chair until the game is actually playable without crashing.
The game literally becomes more unstable every patch.
Works on my machine, maybe get a better computer
What kind of super computer do you have that automatically fixes spaghetti code?
*shrugs* Only crashes I've been getting since the patch has been when i close the game
Good for you.
The last patch killed my audio drivers.
The higher ups that decided to release the game in it's current state are the ones that need to be put Infront of a firing squad. The devs themselves are victims too
At this point my headcannon is they convinced the higher ups that delaying the game was fine because they could release in time for the Christmas season. When the game still wasn't ready they were forced to release anyway.

is 100% correct. Devs obtain massive financial security in return for promises. If they dont want to make promises on release, then dont use investors. They didnt have to accept tencent's buyout

Reality, the first thing that got patched on release was the fricking cash shop. Not the fricking toughness bug but the fricking cash shop.
Cool and high quality post reflecting the real situation game is in
Corporate cucks, probably bots
There is no rebuttal for this because it is completely 100% true, down to dialogue and all.
>always submit bug report when I crash
>submit report at release about it crashing in cash shop
>immediately hotfixed within 24hr, an impossibly complex feat for Fatshark
Wholly accurate
Game also still runs much worse than Beta, they tanked the shit out of the performance and stability ironically by adding the fricking crash logger on release
>REMEMBER THE 75 GORILLION
or DON'T REMEMBER TIENANMEN SQUARE
remember that the CCP owns the entertainment industry.

>frick up
>go on a 3 month vacation and refuse to fix the mistake(s)
LMAO classic Fatshark. When WoM dropped for Vermintide 2, they released to the public the shitty beta instead of the final product and then went on vacation. It took them months to realize they were playing on a different build than the players and they couldnt understand why the players reported so many bugs they tought they had already fixed.
I feel like not enough people have read this post and realized how incompetent fatsharks management is. Read this anons post.
Oh my frick that is so embarrassing, how are these guys still in business?
Because they are also just talented enough to make some really satisfying core gameplay.
This. I enjoyed Vermintide 2, but they fricked up massively. I wasn't going to buy this Darktide until they released a stable, flawless version that felt finished and fleshed out.
Honestly, if you purchased Darktide as a veteran of V2, you have no right to complain and deserve to have been jipped.
I actually enjoyed Vermintide 2 on release. It was a buggy mess, but I liked the campaign, the different weapons and the crafting. Also, it ran smooth on my pc. Of course I expected Darktide to be messy on release, but it came worse in all aspects and incomplete too.
VT2 was messing and really frustrating at times but I still remember it mostly with fond feelings.
The lows were low but the highs were high.
DT has many lows and very few highs even after release.
It helps that in VT2, you could use almost whatever weapon you felt like (since the 1h axe and both 2h sword variants were shit on legend) and craft it easily, so even with one levelled character, you could have plenty of play variety.
There’s also the fact that VT2 was a hell of a lot more forgiving at launch, given the lack of ranged attackers outside specials, meaning that clan asstabber could be countered by being paranoid with blocking, and a ninja patrol, while difficult, could be handled.
To contrast, even a few ranged units popping in can yank your stamina and some health and there’s jack shit you can do about it, and a reaper/gunner teleporting behind you at a bad time means you’re probably fricked.
Exactly, Brapshark is beyond moronic with their balance.
They think equal amount of ranged fodder with melee fodder is a good spawnrate.
Absolute fricknuggets
No way someone van be this moronic.
It wasn't even the first time. Hero Power was broken on launch and they didn't know because they were testing on a different build than was released. Afterward they repeatedly reintroduced old bugs because apparently they don't know what revision control is.
this shit is exactly why europe is irrelevant and gets bossed around by the US
>bossed around
But you're not bossing them around
You bought their game, they laughed at you for mutilating your wiener & then they ran

How did they drop the ball so hard?
They know that gamers will forgive them as long as they fix it sometime later. Gamers are the most sheeple consoomers to ever walk this Earth.
>they immediately went on vacation after shipping a broken game again
fool me once, shame on you
Why didn't these morons just delay the game?
Amerisharts love to pre-order
b-but they might have to work during the holidays!!!1111
abloobloobloo these poor poor devs
might actually be forced to release a nondefective product
why would you delay a cash shop vehicle when warhammer mongs will buy and defend the brand to their dying breath
I turned down the worker threads to 4 and haven't crashed since.
apparently they delayed the game once already, I assume some dumb ass markers or something forced it for Christmas.
christmas season is best for sales
how can they complain about "crunch" if they don't have to rush to meet a deadline they set?
GW mandate. The new Imperial Guard box came out a short while have Darktide did, and of course every class in Darktide specifically has an IG model. As usual GW only views videocgames as a way to advertize the tabletop game.
>As usual GW only views videogames as a way to advertise the tabletop game.
Just wait until you see what they have in store for SM2 tbh. Enjoy paying top dollar for each chapter skin in the multiplayer mode. Darktide was just a testbed the real israeliteing is going to happen when the Space Marines are front and centre.
It's real fricking funny you mention SM2 due to the fact that thebrumored 10th Edition starter sets will be Blood Angels (Space Marines) against Nids, and look what's conveniently present in SM2.
>inb4 the Necrons show up to conicide with the release of Pariah Nexus
All according to keikaku...
Space Marine 2 seemed like a single player game that releases and ends. Does it have coop or online features?
The first game had a (fun) online mode so I'd be surprised if they didn't bring it back for the sequel
PvP and a coop horde mod for the first game. If Nids are involved I can see the later being expanded further upon with a more indepth class system. Think Darktide but 3rd person with bugstomping as the Emperor's Chosen rather than some frickin rejects.
Their testbed went breasts-up.
Don't think they can count this monetization scheme a success.
Devs shouldn't be allowed to release games that they KNOW are buggy during the fourth quarter of a year. They always take their gayass vacations for the holidays and let the game fester all the while.
>vacation
this HAS to be a rib at this point right? they're just seeing what they can get away with?
I’m a huge union guy and always advocate for workers rights,wages, time
Off, ect… except for tech workers. If you work in tech whether it is making stupid amount of money in software or developing video games of a laughable wage I feel like you are sub human and deserve to be treated worse than you already are.
Also work from home homosexuals will be replaced by pajeets in Pakistan by 2026
what about IT
Especially IT
This is both developed and published by Fatshark, so I'm willing to bet that this is at least equally about executives and suits just not giving a frick about consumers as it is devs themselves being incompetent and lazy.
>work from home homosexuals will be replaced by pajeets in Pakistan by 2026
There are some jobs you literally cannot trust to pajeets. Simply because pajeets are moronic and some standards are too high.
I work in compliance, in a sector that is very closely monitored by the government, any issues that occur or malpractice gets us hit by huge fines. You simply cannot trust these sorts of tasks to pajeets.
In general, most companies that neccesitate having IT or a call centre are moving back away from pajeets/abroad work because while its cheaper, the work they provide is absolutely horrendous and has unironically caused some companies to fail because issues a competent IT team in the area can fix become issues that lose entire weeks of work.
40k fellas how you holding up
Still missing a red charm with 20% extra crit damage on skaven to be able to 1 shot stormvermin on legend with the flintlocks....
Pretty good, I do wonder what the end point of all this complaining is. People are calling the game unfinished with one bit of craft left. I'm wondering what they think that will change.
>one bit of craft left
Special mission rotation?
All the weapons that are still missing?
The story?
End game???
Weapon upgrading is endgame. Functionally, It was in vt1 anyway.
Other then occasional story drops I don't see what we're missing other then whatever the frick flash missions are supposed to be.
Did they promise more missions or something?
>Did they promise more missions or something?
Its difficult here. Because they technically delivered on their promise of 14 missions. But the issue is that theres 4/5 maps and combined with the way mission select works, you can genuinely have game sessions where you have to play the same map over and over (with slight changes in the route you take like some roads being blocked or going backwards)
Outside of the stuff I mentioned previously. The game would feel a lot better if the weapons were a bit more balanced, and you could choose their perks/blessings so you could change it up a bit on damnation, and there were more maps and you could select which ones to do properly instead of the fricking stupid map screen.
Modifiers could also be much better implemented, and its hilarious they are so broken that we are stuck with dogs for weeks and weeks when its by far the worst modifier.
Outside of that, enemy spawning is broken, will appear on top of you, and some areas cause infinite looping for 4 elites spawning, trapping you in the area, and then because you couldnt move on, they spawn again and come again. Enemies make no sense difficulty wise. The most difficult enemy in the game by far is a dozen autorifle weilding scrubs more than 10 metres away, as they run away and refuse to melee.
Don't forget optimization
>People are calling the game unfinished with one bit of craft left
Thats you falling for Fatshark changing the goalposts until "its just crafting lol". We are still missing proper weapon customisation (which is likely never coming), classes having actual skill trees that arent near meaningless or obvious (or broken in the case of zealot lmao). Subclasses in general are just straight up missing.
Youre correct that a single patch cant possibly fix everything that is clearly missing from the game though.
>Subclasses in general are just straight up missing.
I won't think you're not getting subclasses this time around, they're going to release premium classes from the get go like in vt2
I got a good 100 hours out of it. Its a real shame because the core gameplay and feel is actually really good (I was not expecting gunplay to be as good as it is, especially from a franchise where ranged weapons took a huge backseat to melee in VT). But its clear a ton of stuff is 10 steps back from Vermintide 2 and seemingly for no reason.
The game is pretty, and has a solid core, but there is nothing else there. Its like a building made of paper on a foundation of concrete. It doesnt make any sense.
Couple that with updates being so slow, and core mechanics still not being implemented and its just dissapointing. Havent opened the game in over a week now. Ideally in a couple of years there will be enough maps and new skills on characters to have a better gameplay loop. But right now if you "play for the gameplay" within a single 3 hour play session you'll have played the same map 10 times
They're on vacation already? lmao what a bunch of gays. Same MO with every single fricking game they release.
Vacations is an important part of Swedish culture
Please understand... it almost snowed in the norther part of sweden yesterday
Think of the migrants...
>T. Shitskin who would shit and piss himself if it snowed as much as it does in sweden
It doesn't snow that much in Sweden nowadays
t. Swede
frick you stockholmite talkin shite. that's what you get for living in stockholm. kys.
Swedes can frick off, Toronto gets like twice the snowfall and has colder winters
vacations have nothing to do with snow though
heja sverige!
What other industry can constanly release broken products without consequences?
Literaly none. Movie and Music industries -the two closets that can be compared- release shitty products, but fully finished. Any other sector would have to do callbacks, returns and refunds instantly to avoid getting sued to oblivion.
Imagine if people got together to sue video game companies every time some shit like this happened.
>Imagine if people got together to sue video game companies every time some shit like this happened.
You would see the local company defence forces working overtime if that were to happen tbh. Disrespecting multi-million dollar companies is not the true Gamer way.
People have and they always get roundly mocked and then fail. The industry is too new and the modern Era too israelite
Sorry bud, you can't sue unless you have incurred a loss.
Releasing a shitty broken game does not generate a loss at a consumer level
You are entitled to a refund however
>Imagine if people got together to sue video game companies every time some shit like this happened.
Would never work. These companies specifically know what they can legally release and what they could potentially he called on. Every major comoany has a legal team that would literally jump at the chance to shut down a lawsuit by technicality or simply stating that people got what they paid for.
Military industry
Yeah but the bribe gets bigger every time.
>the M16 was so shit when it was first issued in Vietnam that GIs actually preferred the BAR
true
>42% review score and dropping fast
haven't played Darktide, but I did enjoy some Vermintide
what is the issue with this game?
Combat and visuals are great, but everything else is pure aids. Gear acquisition is barely possible with you relying on online casino type of shop and "crafting". Completely forget about certain weapons and traits, as they can literally never show up for you. I've occasionally looked and can find certain weapons for three+ weeks now. Buy this game only heavily discounted, and prepare to be disappointend.
>can find certain weapons for three+
A typo, I meant I can't find weapons with at least one trait I want to pick up from the shop.
Game is honestly pretty good, just needs more time in the oven. Luckily its kinda cheap for a game, the core gameplay is great, the aesthetics are godlike.
>Luckily its kinda cheap for a game
>devs ask more than AAA games ask here
sad
>closing in on neg review score
"Mixed" on its own is terrible optics for outsiders browsing the store. And their old player base is familiar with their BS and went back to VT2.
They're left with 40k diehards willing to play shit video games, which isn't insignificant but they're about to get pulled by that Rogue Trader RPG with Eldar waifus. Unless their first patch is a major overhaul player retention will be sub 5k in no time.
my game crashed too much and it makes me not even want to play
Ryzen cpu?
yep. think it was my amd gpu though. i have since switched it out but i dont even feel like testing the game.
the copying store chick raped ross
Why are you guys such low IQ morons? Why do you keep buying this crap, seriously? Fatshark has ALWAYS, I repeat ALWAYS done this same thing. Jesus Christ man I don't even feel bad for you at this point
reminder that Catfish is some soup kitchen girl Brapwhale recruited from their discord and ostensibly on-boarded as an official employee of the company.
its over
It's going to flatline
hurts to see
it took six months after launch for Vt2 to reach a permanent decline. two months for darktide is a record. all the devs deserve a gold medal.
It's over
>there are more people playing Cyberpunk 2077 right now
>a single player game that is 3 years old
>all these morons in the steam forum saying "don't worry guys it's just a beta" 7 days before release
You can't convince me that these beings are from my same species
>what are shills
Why do you think they stopped posting a week before? Fatfish only paid them up to that point the rest of the work was handed over to the grifters on Youtube filling the algorithm up with Sharttide garbage.
the two weeks of "early access" for pre-ordering was a red flag so fricking big you could see it from the ISS. they already delayed Darktide once and it's been in dev for 2 years minimum, that I know of. the launch of the game was a blatant con job, full stop. it's unreal to give away so much "early access", which they used to buy free positive reviews and make a ton of money really fast before fricking off. they've perfected the pump and dump scheme and were given all the opportunities to maximize on it (the 40k license, for instance).
Imagine how people would feel about these games if they didn't have Warhammer.
All the more reason why they settled on it. Between the lack of decent vidya and the hordes of paypiggies Warhammer is the perfect franchise to cash in on. Imagine if it was a game dedicated to the Space Marines and not some glorified convicts they would've made a killing with the formula.
not surprising. I didn't even buy the game despite really liking VT2 because I saw the writing on the wall
holy frick
>More people playing VT2
It's ogre
They gave it away for free the week before darktide got released
Proves it still has more staying power than Droptide
And? It never beat darktide numbers until recently.
When is the zero point? Three months from now? Four?
>pre-order
>play the bet>open game on launch day
>see a fricking LOGIN QUE to even get in
>refund with 0.3 hours playtime
it may be stupid that THAT is what made me refund, bit perhaps I knew it was just another symptom of fatshart's moronation.
When they did a free period on xbox or whatever for VT1, they did absolutely nothing for their authentication servers and the flood of new users took it down for a fricking day. No one, PC or console, could play while they sorted higher server capacity. High order moronation.
When they had the first beta for Darktide they asked players to not stream or record the gameplay yet made no countermeasures to prevent it
>people actually bought another fartshart game after ratclick 2
You get what you derserve.
literally all they had to do was asset flip VT2 and people would've been happy, instead they served up this abortion
Oh man this is satisfying
I called this shit flavour of the month like 4 or 5 weeks ago and a bunch of you mongs howled me down
You'll forget in a week and move on to shiny new thing I'm sure
The problem is that people don't want it to be flavour of the month. I think the core gameplay is fricking great but there's a serious lack of content and communication from the devs
Swedes are all morons. Scammer cucks like the Chinknese.
people who buy fatshart games deserve be anal raped in public in sweden migrant infested city by a space marine.
what fricking idiot gave this globalist shit ass company there money.
you deserve you head crushed by a space marine

HEY GUYS WE WORKED REAL HARD TO FINISH IT IN TIME FOR RELEASE
>But you didn't fi-
VACATIONS!
CA is just fricking like this.
Devs are just worthless.
Actually, what is with recent AA+ Warhammer game studios dropping even the pretense of not being greedy and lazy sleaze bags?
CA had a guaranteed hit with TWH3 and they ditched any extra factions for 2 FRICKING YEARS
They probably grew fat and lazy with success.
On the topic of CA, well for one they are dirty disgusting bongs and for another SEGA took most of them to work on HYENAS
Can't believe that shit cost almost $1B.
Apparently the 1B is not just for Hyenas but also a few other games.
SEGA calls it SUPERGAME were several titles are connected by various means.
Including NFT's
Paychads will be eating good whenever Sega drops these absolute delights.
I wish I knew how to short SEGA and the companies under them.
>Actually, what is with recent AA+ Warhammer game studios
CA is an indie studio? I don't think so
They certainly deliver the quality of one
CA got fricked by Sega. 3 was always going to be a bug filled mess, but if it wasn’t for Hyenas siphoning off all the developers, it would have been fixed a hell of a lot sooner, and it certainly would have had more content added to it.
God I can’t wait for that moronic game to bomb; who the FRICK thought stealing funko pops in space was a good idea?
This, plus their moronic dev team structure. Tww2 on release was competent but nothing special, mostly elevated by qol improvements from tww1 which was a fricking travesty on launch and never got much post Launch support.
It's pretty clear from the tutorial campaign they had much more in depth stuff originally planned but either bit off more than they could chew or had the rug pulled from them, probably both.
>blaming SEGA
When Relic fricked up with DoW3, they just were contracted with Microsoft and recovered most of quality control with AoE4.
CA fricking up was a standard once lackluster DLCs for 3 Kingdoms started to roll out.
Like I said, CA fricking the launch up is nothing new, but not fixing it when the vastly more competent B team gets on the case is.
Given Sega is clearly putting all hands on deck for Hyenas, it’s not hard to connect the dots
>muh optimization
Potato rig user cope
The reason player count is dropping is because it doesn’t take that long to get 4 chars to 30
Complete moron take.
>5 minutes between missions and lobby no matter your specs because people are loaded in packs so you have to wait until the last potato monkey load the lobby
I'm really glad I didn't buy it
I played the open Beta and it ran like shit on my computer.
They do this shit every time and drop the ball consistently, i'm guessing you guys weren't around for the shitshow that was vermintide 2 release.
Why the frick do companies and devs have Discord accounts and groups where they talk to people who are there to pre-order or play the alpha or whatever the frick?
Seems so counterintuitive since you just know the place will be filled with morons wanting privileges to mod or whatever and you'll likely tend to "forget" to do your work cause you're more preoccupied with shitposting in the Discord group instead or just constantly checking it for whatever reason.
>turn customers into fanatics
>and employees into ambassadors
And the lucky few who have gargled on their nuts long enough will get a gold star and a hammer to dish out punishment on their behalf. (all for free of course because the privilege of being able to get the chance to talk to the devs themselves is payment enough)
You answered your own question. By doing this they get jannies for absolutely free. They're going to suck their wiener whenever they like it or not because it's a prerequisite to maintain their little position of power. The same happens in reddit
Corporations have successfully weaponized discord mods
>you now remember that the last SR game thanked their discord and reddit jannies in the end credits
Made even more apparent by the fact that the later were put into their positions leading up to the release to help control the narrative. Anytime you hear these places getting put on lockdown its because the company is instructing them to quell dissent. Any places that calls itself a community is merely another finger on the hand that is the company's marketing department. Ganker isn't immune to this shit either but its nowhere near as blatant about it as some sites are.

I dont get it, there must be missing context.

I guess they're mad cause she horny posting and reverting to her natural state of e-thot after her stint as a "developer" on gow2 turned out to be bogus?
It's like if you held up a lady, due to your diseased mind, as a pioneer of glass ceiling breaking girl bossing game dev success and then 6months later she's posting sexy cosplay of herself to only fans. They got caught backing a lie and cognitive dissonance is kicking in
Pure speculation though that assumes there IS a some point and it's not just a stupid phone poster trolling or posting the wrong image.*

When the frick did Buckley start making semi-funny comics
Broke clock, twice a day. I think he's had 1 or 2 other good ones. Keeping in mind he's been making these for like 20 years now
i'm still in awe of this fricking comic getting made.
buckley hasn't done a single memorable thing since 'loss'. it's notable when you are so lame that the lamest working guy on the internet throws a punch.
fatshark and darktide are so fricking lame that buckley was able to be funny again in his decades of being turbo lame.
Man, didn't even notice the Fatshark logo at first
To make it easier to swap with the six gorillion other devs pulling this shit
>fricking up so badly that Buckley can somehow summon the power to make a concise joke
Jesus Christ
OH SHIT
OH FRICK
BUCKLY MADE A JOKE
THE END TIMES!
It's pretty momentous, shame no one but autists on a Korean yodeling forum will notice but it's actually a good jab. Fricking Tim "Lost" Buckley hits you with a sharp and concise and fair jab. That's like losing to glass jaw Joe in punch out. That's like being a reporter and being unable to make the cup head tutorial jump. You have truly hit the bottom of "fricking goofed".
It sailed past peoples notice but they outright admitted a lot of shit got rehashed at the last fricking minute right before launch. If I had to guess, customizations and monetization all underwent huge changes in the last 6-9 months of development and it ate all the time that would've gone into polish. At the very least they admitted they gutted the entire crafting system which is why we didn't even have the anemic options we do now on release.
I got my ogryn to 30 and sunk ~60 hrs into the game. As far as I'm concerned I'm done with it, it's over, I haven't loaded it since last year. Without new content there's no point. I had my money's worth and I refuse to drop duckets on the skins despite being sorely tempted due to how awful the default ogryn cloths and unlocks are.
This is all well and good for me because I got my money worth but I can't imagine it's what fatsharks intended business model was with the $40 launch or the cash shop
They aimed at Warframe/destiny with a Warhammer coat. An MMO that feeds the whales new skins every couple of days, but how it turned out, the game is a total failure of colossal magnitude. It's a live service game without the service. There is probably no other way around it, and they won't get back the masses, let alone the warhammer whales. Who ever is gone from the game now won't come back later. They shafted the entire player base with how the game works, and even after the masses left, they won't be able to hold the die-hard fans of the tide combat. All goodwill is burned. Check back for the next wave of outrage when they ask money for their new class in a month or two. If they even release anything prior to the console release, which will also bomb.
I'd even go so far to say that owning MTX in this game is a mark of shame.
Nah, you'll get steam reviews that are going to say "It's good now!. It's always been the case.
>I'd even go so far to say that owning MTX in this game is a mark of shame.
You haven't heard the stories of whales getting chased out of lobbies because of the skins they bought? Its like Fallout 76 all over again where they gave you the equivalent of a israelitestar for being a good little boy in paying the subscription fee. I'm more surprised that Brapshark hasn't started permabanning anyone caught harassing their good little piggies because the last thing you want is the freeloaders hurting the bottom line.
also MTX from my experience is the mark of a shit player. Its like they've accepted they'll never get good and unlock the skill based cosmetics so they paid up instead. The kind of morons that have no concept of team play and can't even see a tagged medkit right in front of them.
Same thing happened to Halo Infinite. The greedy suits implemented the most predatory skin purchase practices before they had a working game people would actually want to farm skins for.
>I refuse to drop duckets on the skins despite being sorely tempted due to how awful the default ogryn cloths and unlocks are.
Goood point. Im gonna add this too:
Vermintide 2 priced Cosmetics are
>A bunch of helmets-only for each class that are between 2-4 bucks
>Cosmetic sets for a class (Both helmet and cloth) tare at lowest 5$ and at highest around 7-8$
Meanwhile at Darktide
>Cosmetic sets for any class are TWELVE (12) bucks
Fricking disgusting.
Don’t forget that VT2 cosmetics are a direct charge, while DT uses in game currency to both obfuscate the price and con people into buying more, since the price will inevitably end up being juuuuust too high/low
Late-cycle Vermintide 1 was the best. I want to go back, back to before all the bloat.
same
>vermintide 2 - 6917
>darktide - 5417
impressive fartshart impressive
Anyone else feel like the ogryn is underpowered? Like he's not unusable, I can consistently beat damnation with him. However, you spend so long just juggling enemies left and right with your melee before they die. Using anything but the cleaver? PoxBlack folk take like 3 smacks each to kill. And if you're losing the cleaver all the armored elites take forever to kill. And his poor accuracy is just so fricking annoying when it comes to using the ripper/stubber. Meanwhile if I'm playing my vet I can kill two mutants with a single mag of my lazgun before they can close the gap while my Ogryn needs to land every single shot of his ripper gun to kill one at close range, and the slow fire rate means the mutant gets to juggle someone at least once.
>you're losing the cleaver
Lol, I meant using*
The shotgun being an inconsistent burst fire to mag size makes me want to kill myself, it should just be a semi auto with the brace doing a different function per color: green full but steady auto, red slow but double barreled shots, blue rapid full auto
Did they ever even fix the slot system? Originally the whole reason wall scooting worked was that rats tried to fit into one of several slots encircling the player while the rest wait their turn or try to get you with a running stab. Right away in VT2 I remember a jsat stream demonstrating that slots were fricked and mobs would just default to hyperstacking 20 deep in your face all swinging so you get blasted blocking a constant stream of incoming hits. It was fricking silly. And my recollection was that the meta kept in the direction of just constant knockdown to keep the horde from even swinging at you.
>advertise that you got Dan Abnett to write
>make a Diversity Squad as the faces of the game
>look like absolute shit compared to the Ubersreik Five
>there’s not even five of them, so anyone saddled with the last spot is shit out of luck
>only after the trailer do they realise this is an issue
>big daddy Fink pulls out of entertainment, so the diversity squad isn’t even getting the BRbucks
>have to scramble to make a character creator, and they’re all barebones as a result
>almost all the material Abnett wrote gets thrown out the window
Christ they’re fricking idiots.
I have to assume this is the case, because otherwise they hired on a writer to do absolutely frick all except give a backstory a chimp could have come up with.
all the material Abnett wrote gets thrown out the window
Can you tell me more about that?
Like I said I’m just guessing, but having established characters is the only reason to hire on someone like Abnett, since the character creation voices all have very bland conversations and backstories and the main backdrop is so generic that both could easily have been done in house then checked by GW.
It only makes sense to have a writer on board if they’ve got something for them to write, and the excepts they wrote for each character class sound to me like an artefact of pre made characters.
Now granted it could be that they also had/still have some sort of structured main campaign planned, but that just raises further questions.
I bet the part we get to see in game was just the introductory chapter to a big RPG style plot.
Every proper Dark Heresy campaign needs a reason the characters become Inquisitorial agents.
It even has all the plot points that could have been awesome if fleshed out, making the player second guess himself when he's forced to do fricked up and straight up heretical shit for a senior acolyte or something.
Then that execution scene would actually feel meaningful in some way, maybe even have a negative outcome if you didn't cover your ass.
The "story" as it is now ends with your character receiving an inquisitorial rosette, which would make him a pretty big shot all things considered. So I'm sure there's supposed to (or was supposed to) be something planned for a continuation.
I certainly have hopes for a very specific scenario but it'll most likely never ever happen.
>So I'm sure there's supposed to (or was supposed to) be something planned for a continuation.
They are clearly planning on releasing more story stuff as time goes on, just look at the games twitter where they hint at upcoming stuff
Of course, but what we've seen so far just hints at new levels and a new enemy faction.
We have no clue where the story will go concerning the characters.
For all we know they just scrapped it all and decided to keep it at a status quo to keep us playing the same levels forever.
Darktide has about as much story as VN's have gameplay.
That's my same take, they realized they fricked up when people reacted to the horrible chink priest
I didn't mind chink priest but I do get the feeling char custom was added later in dev yeah. Supposedly there was a plan to like have a developing story and shit but I think that's out the window. If you listen to some voice lines there's hints of stuff but I doubt we'll ever get it.
’s not even five of them, so anyone saddled with the last spot is shit out of luck
You mean like in VT, since you can't frickin play 5 player
In VT there’s always a spare character for people to cycle out of if they want to, and an extra choice if there’s one character you particularly don’t like
Based moron that gets emotionally invested in things he knows nothing about
>body type
>devs openly admitting they uglified women on purpose in the game
These two things alone were more than enough to understand that they are impotent pozzed cuckolds who are unable to produce a good game.
>devs openly admitting they uglified women on purpose in the game
sauce? this kinda sucks my gf wants to play as a pretty character but it's impossible
They did the same thing Killing Floor 2 devs did.
The irony that the men will always be roided out muscle machines. Nothing wrong with that either it’s just frick the image you’re setting up for boys but girls need a hug room.
The rare liberal christgay. Don't have kids anons it fricks your brain
i tried it on gamepass. it runs like shit. like what even is this launcher?
has nothing to do with the launcher, the game simply runs like shit
>he bought a FatShark game
you're gonna keep falling for it, aren't you?
Europeans cannot make video games lmao.
Nobody can make videogames
hopefully it continues to go down and the whales slowly stop throwing money at le skins, maybe then they'll be inclined to improve
It didn't stop then, why would it stop now?
Whales usually need someone to lord over. If they're alone, nobody can see their cosmetics.
>reverse search the image in case the Fathsark logo was shooped in

SOMEONE GET Ganker ON THE LINE, SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT.
Got VT2 when it was free, played it about 40 hours. Got my money's worth.
Never liked Reddithammer, never will. Hope we can go back to the old days of it being confined to /tg/ (the containment board made for it). It was the MLP of its time.
Tbqh /tg/ would prefer if it was banished from there as well.
/tg/ has been asking for a Warhammer board since forever.
Which game is this even?
There are hundreds 40K games uot there.
First WH40K FPS as far as I'm aware. It's a fun game, it's just that the company promised more content than there actually was.
Tau Fire warrior, but people get assmad at that game because it has a Fire warrior killing a Lord of Change and chaosgays getting upset that they're not untouchable.
other than that though, the game is pretty meh.
Necromunda Hired Gun is another FPS made by the E.Y.E devs. Its gun selection is alright they let you use stuff like a heavy bolter, a rare graviton gun and a revolver rifle.
Darktide.
ass
>bitches about Fatshark not learning ANYTHING from previous two tide games
>buys Darktide at launch
I suspect that anons here didn't really know who FatShark was until this game.
Yet somehow every other post talks about vt2? I suspect not. It's much more likely anons are simply moronic.
No, I knew exactly what I was getting into buying a fatshart game at launch. Don't make excuses.
Doesn't matter. The game will get a 2nd breathe of life once the console kiddies get darktide.
I suspect this is why they aren't too worried and taking like 50 vacations.
They'll shit out a 1.0 console release that's better than what pc has but never update it again due to 0 market response
Source- their last 2 games where the exact same thing happened
Dark tide sucks dick. Wish i refunded it
No other industry, especially actually important ones to human health and life, get to have vacations after "omg worked so hard for two months guys" like video game developers. Been hearing this shit for 20 years now. It is of the utmost patheticness. They universally act like they do the most important job on the entire planet and anything their little hearts desire, they are owed after sharting out some stupid broken ass video game
>promise subclasses every 3 months
>its almost the end of 2nd month
>game is not even in full release
lol, lmao even
I got a brand new PC so performance isn't an issue for me. I do feel like I got the setting I wanted and enjoyed my climb to level 30. The weaponplay is fun and everything feels right. But I do think we needed more at launch since I saw things from beta that I couldn't wait to try that aren't in the game like the darkness modifier that make torches really important on your gun.
I'll probably try leveling another character to 10 atleast before putting it down but there isn't much insentive to grind if the good cosmetics are cash shop and I got a good legendary gun and sword combo and have no insentive to get the worse guns of same quality
>both vt2 and dt have as many players as drg
>big loved franchise that's been going on for years with idiots buying stupid overpriced figures no problem
>vs
>some small indie game that has dwarves
just shows how incompetent ftashark are
Every time a co-op game shits the bed, DRG gets more players.
They’re like an angel of death that feeds on the failures of others
Makes sense, they seem to be the only devs who not only know what they are doing but they actually care about player feedback.
Wouldn't be hard for such people to look at the co-op failures around them and learn from it all.
Made me laugh on just how true this is. When I refunded darktide I went back to drg. Shows that passion really does pay.
Which frustrates me since there are still hints of actual passion in DT.
It is simply drowned out by all the other israelitery
Way I see it is fat shark has the idea but has no conviction to follow it through. They’re inept because they are so lazy like all Swede companies and shut out the bare minimum to be called a product. If they showed they were diligently trying to fix the game I wouldn’t have refunded but I know fatshark is all to willing to thumb their ass for months while a game dies because in their eyes they’ve earned it
I wonder how long until their new chink bosses decide that laziness cannot be tolerated and puts fire under their moronic swedish asses.
They will have earned that as well.
Reminder they walked that little frick up back after Arch formerly Arch Warhammer made an email campaing and the feedback crashed their server twice.
Warhammer gays deserve to get scammed
kek, all these chuds angry because swedes can take their >=6 weeks vacations freely while burgers has to beg for 3
>fight about nationality instead of how the consumer is getting fricked over!
>replying to shitty bait
Then don't consume, it is that easy
Why don't they take a big vacation break before the game release?
Because they are fixing bugs to very last day
yeah but if they just delay the release by 3 weeks they can come back completely refreshed and ready for hotfixes after release
Release day is often already public and they cant just postpone it. They estimate it will be ready by that date with some buffer on top but that is not the case here
Also it is possible they don't know how severe bugs are. Blizzard had some interesting statistic: Just after two minutes after release, HS gets played by players more than they test it internally
And generally companies wants to rush things for days like Christmas or end of quarters etc.
its 2023, if the specs of the game aren't so that you could max the graphics out with tech from 10 years ago then you are asking for your PC to get bricked in some way by the dogshit code these affirmative action programmers make.
Always 1+ year before buying ANY game.
>after hard work for months, devs take vacation to spend christmas holidays with their family>
>AAAAH YOU CAN'T DO THAT WORK ON THE GAME IT'S CRASHING *whips lash sound* WORK ON THE GAME ALREADY YOU FRICKING SLAVES *whips lash sound*
Sure they repeated the mistakes of VT2 and they probably made a bunch of mistakes out of moronation but can't people take their christmas holidays? Jesus.
Then don't release it when it's not ready and can't be supported.
Is the holiday release meme even still a thing?
Even if people don't give games as these as gifts anynore, I guess the free time many people have is enough reason to buy new games. Or by them as presents for themselves.
It's crazy how the last really good 40k game came out 18 years ago.
dawn of war ?
yea
Let me tell you what happened
>sweden so already lazy
>sweden so it is impossible to get fired unless you commit a crime at work. so most people do minimum work, if any
>china-flu so people wfh. lazy people do even less work now. others follow
>it is a gaming company so that is like being double swede
t. a swede gaym dev (that works in a different company)
Harsh working conditions you read about game dev don't apply to Sweden. People give no frick. There will be no overtime. If it is agreed that people will take vacation on day X, you won't be able to take it back
This
People are quick to blame management, but honestly? A moronic management can be carried by a competent crew
Swedish labour law is so rigid you cant fire people, which means employees can do whatever they want all year long.
Truth is, fatshark hired the bottom of the barrel back then, and now they cant fire them, there is not a single competent dev in there otherwise errors such as
>surge staff fx
>outlines
Being patched in and out in back to back patched would not have happened
american here please believe me when I say as annoying as this is, you would not be better off getting rectal reaved by corporate ass drillers. There's a middle ground to be found
I agree, I wouldn't want to work in the horror stories I heard in US gaming companies. But there is a middle ground, I had coworkers that almost literally did 0 work. The best company can do is cutting their bonuses to minimum and moving them to other teams if people complains. A bad employee is forever a pain both for company and his peers
>had coworkers that almost literally did 0 work. The best company can do is cutting their bonuses to minimum and moving them to other teams if people complains.
That sounds like communist East Germany, I'm not kidding.
except E. Germ. and the soviet bloc had secret polizi tht would just merk you if necessary
I know this is gonna sound like full commie glowup pinko whackadoojob, but I feel like a base level of UBI would help resolve a lot of this. Worker protection laws exist because people need to work to live. if people DON'T need to work to live, the NEED for those laws is greatly reduced. Relax the laws while preventing people from being completely fricked for corporate greeds sake
The capitalist virgin fears the double swede.
Fatshark has been on this situtation so many times that I'm 99% sure they will come back and start doing shit and game will be ok in 6 months. Personally waiting for the 2 year anniversary of this game, playing fatshark shit before that is for new people who don't know better.
Anyway, swedes have scandinavian work culture, they expect to be treated like humans. If you tell them that they have to stay for overtime they will laugh at your face.
The game isn't that bad right now. I can't for the life of me figure out how some players just fricking one shot everything with a lazgun though.
warhammer gays got fricked over
you love to see it kek
>Launch a buggy broken game
>Release a patch
>Game is still buggy and broken
>Go on 4 week vacation
I'm laughing and even I bought the game.
>tfw refunded
Good on you guy. I played with friends, family and gf so there was never a refund chance with me. Been almost a month since I put the game down, won't touch it again until summer. We'll see what becomes of it then.
>I will pick up the game on the time whole Sweden goes to vacation, thay will get them to work!
I sense there is a looming threat over your plan.
even the subreddit is turning sour on fartyfins. pretty great how that outlet is already at its breaking point.
>tfw I've never touched anything Warhammer before, don't know lore or anything, all I know is that there's some cool ass but expensive figurines and there's ugly rats.
>_Boyfriend, who is a big Warhammer fan, says he'd like to play.

>Cash shop indeed fricking sucks though.
That's all that I really need, lads.
it is fun, that’s why people are so vehement over it. they want to play it without the constant crashes and shit optimisation.
also post breasts.
I was warning people after the shitfest that was vermintide 2.
I only paid $15 for it and I STILL felt ripped off. Frick fatshark.
but vermin2de is good now
It's also free
Did they get rid of the item bloat shitfest and tons of pointless grinding?
the grind isn’t even that bad
okay subhuman
enjoy ban
you won't be missed
didn’t hedgey get fired? or was he just replaced as cm?
>How small your life must be for others to live in your head rent free
>picrel, it's Hedge
this is how you know a developer has hit rock bottom and is clawing against the ground to go even deeper: community managers privately insulting customers. genuinely feel bad for anyone who has given money to these people.
Grim.
It has been almost a month since the last patch
more like dead service game amirite
How many times will y'all fall for this "live service" scam?
beta game plays great minus some disconnects it gets fix game plays great again.
Launch happens shit hits the wall disconnects happen again for a short while basically whole teams get disconnect reconnect have to wait for everyone to get back some get redisconnected sitting at end of level waiting for everyone finally people give up and leave one person down.
dark maps are fun but falls under no one wanting to play them cause they don't bring a flashlight attached.
demonhost would be fun if pugs were not completely moronic
some of the class weapons straight up suck and personally want more selection of weapons.
i went from playing it every day to not even looking at it for almost a month now
