Just come to the realisation that all the games I've done this series start with D. Luckily I can break this chain by "reviewing" Dunt: Showdown next.
My discord in case you're wondering where I hide myself until the next vid: / discord - Hry
I bought this game without any knowledge of Warhammer besides "loud screaming and louder, hilarious weaponry." It's now become a gateway into 40k for me and I really enjoy playing it with my friends.
Its been my gateway back into warhammer 40k :D A ton of fun for sure
Welcome to the fandom. There’s no escape for you now.
Your poor wallet.
I wish I had friends 😕
heck yeah
I've been a 40k nerd since 1993 and the one thing i got from darktide was the amazing thrill of finally firing a boltgun the way i imagined it. Feels so good to squeeze off a round at a heretic and see him pop! LOVE IT!!
It's so much better after using more humble weapons for a while. The contrast makes it so much better
@enovos3138 totally. I was the sniper type of class, forget the name, and spent all my time using lasguns before I was able to get a boltgun. Once I could I never looked back or at any other weapon. I feel like the holy bolter fits all occasions.
@@ciscornBIG I'm more of a plasma gun kind of guy myself, Especially after it's been buffed. From deleting specialists and turning bosses into soup, It really is the guardsman power Trip
@@enovos3138 I am guessing now is a bad time to mention I main Psyker just for the love of impersonating a Sith lord?
i couldnt put down the thunder hammer after using it, on zealot !! nothing more badass than smashing the heretics with the holy hammers
So much potential lost, Fatshark never learns from past mistakess.
I'm new to their games but seeing the reddit post from 5 years ago describing their development process is hilarious because it is EXACTLY how they have handled darktide :D
@@fripfrop_ I was in the same boat never having had contact with this studio before. I never will again, obviously, and am genuinely interested to see this example of non-Darwinian survival. However, we can hope that after the console port that they will finally start to work on the game... a year after launch. 😕
why should they learn people still buy their scams
The game is great, the problem is the 40K community is toxic; YES, there were issues, the game is far from perfect (like recanted promises). More importantly, the core gameplay, engine and mechanics are amazing.
@@jamesv.7041 Absolutely, but then again they do not add much content(I think one or two maps last time I played 2 months ago) and it becomes repetitive. I had max level after a week or some, and the difference in buffs and gear is not a great incentive.
Would recommend as a quality game, but it pales in comparison to Vermintide 2.
Great, satisfying, addictive core gameplay. Brilliantly immersive art and audio design. Industry-leading incompetence and hubris from their producers/management.
Their actual creatives who made the gameplay, the art and the audio hit it out of the park. But the great work of those creators is saddled and dragged down by the mobile-game mentality of producers who can't wrap their heads around the reality that mobile game bs drives PC/console gamers away. On top of the absolute incompetence of the producers in not building the necessary in-house systems to ensure game-breaking bugs and technical issues don't make it into the game (failed) and if they do are resolved rapidly and with urgency (failed).
The game is good. You will have fun. And you will likely end up where many of us did frustrated at the goodness and fun being eventually buried under boneheaded producer/management decisions and systemic incompetence to produce a functional game.
You hit it on the head ma dude, ogryn pals would be proud
first 20 hours you have fun, next 20 you are still enjoying the game and after that, you learn why the interest for darktide dropped to the floor after launch, and why vermintide 2 is still more popular than it.
100% true.
@thedefense381 right. but we all know darktide will, one day, probably, be absolutely amazing. whilst its a bit predatory and mismanaged to sh!t, it might at least be better to pick it up earlier in ita life before they (inevitably, lets be honest) start stacking on dlc, uping the price, or both
and if its anything like vermintime 1 and 2, it will eventual being great.
"Before the devs go on holiday" I hadn't realized they came back after their two month holiday at launch!
Darktide be one of those games that comes free with the OST.
Man darktide was the one game I actually had a wanting to put time into it’s a shame that the game launched buggy and idk if it got better because everyone kind of just stopped talking about it
4:17 *Confident Strike*
Just buy it. Worth every minute of pain just to purge...
Bought it about a week ago. Now into 30+ hours of gameplay. I agree i feel like its lacking something. I think storywise, it feels like its a prequel to something. It probably is because they say the game is a live service. But gameplay wise, i like it. Whats better than purging the heretics and the enemy of the Emperor?
Bugs are mostly gone but the true problem with the game is lack of content.
@@MB-rt9dq Not wrong. The story is probably the weakest part unfortunately. It's amazing how much art and detail goes into something and the story just kinda feels like a backseat. The true issue is that there isn't enough assassination/mission variety. having only two missions and both being the exact same boss is a huge fucking letdown.
Ahh dark tide, the game standing on the edge of greatness, yet being held back by some very fixable but time consuming problems.
I love Darktide and feel like I kind of got my money from but it holy hell did they drop the ball in every way outside of the feel of the combat and the tone/look of the world.
I loved this game upon release playing about 200 hours but it's been difficult getting back into it with the convoluted crafting system and RNG mission select.. If I come back, it's because I want to see the new content
I still play DT a lot. I hope FS magically gets their shit together and gives the game the love it deserves.
Give 5-7 years.
That's what it took for VT2 apparently.
hopefully after FS is done dumping content into Vermintide 2 they'll pick up the pace on Darktide.
@@ashrimplecreature9210 they moved a majority of the team from verm to Darktide a year or two before it's released. Even with that, Vermintide 2 is still coming out with more content
As someone who purchased the game day 1, it wasn’t until now (almost a year later) that I can finally play the game without random crashes hurting my progression. I can say now that it is a good and fun game! Hopefully they make a comeback with a bigger future update and bring back players. The game is good but it released in a questionable state.
This is a generous review and I think kind of leaves out the most important part of that reddit post. These over promises aren't just a one off. This company actively lies to their player-base, under performs and then obfuscates around the simple solutions to those problems. Its not mismanagement, it borders on false advertising and a crime where I live. Had this company had to deal with even the smallest amount of accountability their might even be a law suit. First and last time I will ever buy their product.
I agree that is it blatant false advertising. I myself vehemently await future updates that will bring more life to the game and I can say I wasn't harsh enough. At the same time I don't like to get too negative about stuff since the video itself is mostly me trying to make dumb jokes about gameplay, I truly enjoy the game to this day and it is exhausting looking forward to each comm link only to be let down 99% of the time.
The worst part are the apologists who tell you to touch grass and wave off any demands for accountability for Fatshark releasing a clearly incomplete product by saying "Well, I'm having fun!" Fatshark needs to receive a PR lashing like Hello Games with No Man's Sky to ever change.
lol keeeeep cryyyyying, ive spent 30+hrs last 5-6 days on it with friends and its been absolute amazing, you guys really need to get your thumb out of your ass and stop whining, its definitely in a better state than it was at release and if they keep giving us content they will have players.
Yo ass probably just another one crying cause they getting their ass spanked at tier 3.
i never understood fatshark because that handled vermintide II greatly but sort of messed up with darktide just a few years later. just sort of confuses me how the situation changed so quick
@@sovietunion7643vermintide 2 was a mess on release, it only got good a while after launch. it looks to be (hopefully) headed in the same direction with darktide.
Absolute mad work on the editing and scripting, thanks for the video this was widely entertaining and hilarious !
Darktide 40Kpilled me so hard I've read like 10 of the books
read half of the gaunts ghost series cause of the game haha
Vermintide 2 and total war Fantasypilled me and i am grateful for it.
Great video with great editing love it! great job
The emperor is proud of this work 👍
a new sub for u lol
My introduction into 40k is hearing about it since I played dnd, know about it due to memes, see a video about Warhammer lore, watch it, then I was hooked
The only things that are truly flawless in DT are:
-Jesper Kyd's music (you simply can't *not* vibe to it)
-weapon sounds (from the lasguns' crackle to bolter *simply existing*)
Great funny vid! I had some friends ask me about what Darktide was awhile back & what the classesdo and what the gameplay is like. I told them that is basically L4D/B4B/any horde shooter. Then explained the classes as: Sharpshooter (your playing CoD, Battlefield, or any other FPS game), Psyker (Space Wizard), Zealot (Boss killer; use the Thunder Hammer or else), & Ogryn (Head empty only eat & purge the ppl the skull tells you too).
Next time I'll try not to scream my lungs out in battlebit remastered before voicing my script. Hope ya enjoyed 👍
Definitely enjoyed it.
Really solid video! keep it up!
Definitely earned a sub from me on this one. Editing is hilarious and accurate!
Its a pretty good day today, give it some more time and let em flesh it out with 2-3 more content packages and we will be good, its a fun game and the vibe with the music is just out of this world.
The recent wave of 40k games may have been a bit of a mixed bag, but the art design and the music especially have been incredible on all of them
legit watching rando mc randoson mag dump a beast of nurgle and actual having it be effective is the most lore breaking thing in this game and it never fails to make me chuckle
loved it, played it everyday for 2 months then stopped, havent touched it since
The way you edited this video was just hilarious. From the Shrek fighting off the nurgle worshipers to Boogie thrashing the Christmas decoration. Also a huge shame that the game is THIS buggy. The player models almost look like low resolution Gmod ragdolls. It just looks like something we'd expect from 2014
immacualte video hope this blows up :D
i think the fact that the launch was so barebones and yet I still played it so much is a testament to how fucking good the actual gameplay of darktide is. the gore, the weapon feedback, the ragdolls, the melee combat, the music, the voice acting, the enemy design, the map design; it's all incredible. I clocked 100 hours before they even added crafting; the gameplay is just that good.
Good video man
The hunter sound triggered my PTSD
the upcoming chnages are looking like a step in the right direction I hope they can keep improving and adding real content soon
Boltgun is my favorite 40k game out currently it did its job exactly how we wanted and how it was advertised
Does anyone know the song that starts around 3:30 please? Thank you.
"Im so sorry, you're a Warhammer fan." *looks at army shelf* *cries in life savings*
This game is like a World Eaterd blood murder high. Feels euphoric and liberating whike you play the missions, but everything in between just drags on and sucks and is just awful. 8/10, please wait a year before playing, unless you are already addicted to little plastic men.
I was also wondering where the Warp/Hell Darktide disappeared to. There was a ton of hype even from the point the first trailer dropped, then it culminated during the time of its release and since maybe the second week after I heard only incredibly rarely about the game, and mostly in a negative tone. Sometimes I honestly wonder if I only imagined the game existing as even here on spam-everything-at-everyone CZcams I never get videos about it recommended and they get mostly only very low views (sub-10k for a game crazily hyped up like this one is nothing).
Awesome video for a great but flawed game. Hope Fatshark continue to support it and build upon the excellent gameplay.
Does this mean we can expect to see Gabe performing the Darktide soundtrack? :D
Bought it and glad I did. Yeah it was buggy at launch and still has some issues but its my go to game for chilling. I even bought their premium drip, I can say they are listening but…they are definitely taking their sweet time adding actual content. Last one was two maps and no story.
can't wait for darktide 2
To give big fish some credit, they did say they're halting progress on the classes for bringing it up to standards, most likely continuing after crossplay comes out
I've quit the game entirely after 300 hours. No point in playing when there's no mission select, weapon crafting is complete RNG, and there's no new classes coming. Not to mention they keep nerfing strong weapons instead of buffing weak weapons.
No high shock is really getting to me these days - I really am gunning for a carpal tunnel injury
"after 300 hours"
and fatshark got exactly what they wanted. see you at the next launch!
@@joseffranz3872 Well I didn't spend any money aside from the initial purchase price. They can take their stupid "engagement mechanics" and stuff 'em.
I got what I felt was my money's worth from the purchase price and dipped. The sad part is, I would have been willing to pay for some cosmetics if Fatshark wasn't so hellbent on screwing over the community.
Wrongly convicted?
*Stares at Heresy
Brother. Get the Flamer. The Heavy, Flamer.
We need a large map TABS-like battlefield game, that can also turn into a FPS, with a mainly offline mode with coop kinda like borderlands
game not finished because we needed the reaver titan in the background
As a VT1 & 2 player, I’ll give the advice to help sooth your soul. The game will be good…in like 3 years.
Just in time for next tide game to drop. So you will completely overlook good old game and buy into new hype :D
I preordered this for the Xbox way back when. They returned some of my money, said sorry and I haven’t heard a thing since.
As a veteran sharpshooter, I have learned to no longer fear the rage, because the Agripiina is very good at mowing down anything that has the audacity to exist around you. Bonuses against maniacs and flak armor are disgusting.
I recently got back into the game after like a 5 month absence. Finally reached level 30 on all characters today and now I think I'll main either the ogryn or zealot. I just want more classes, more variety in levels, voices and weapons now. It's gotten a tad stale. Especially when the other 2 veterans you're playing with have the exact same loadout and voices
I wonder what would happen if you implanted the Emporers Geneseed into an Ogryn!
What the music called at 5:24
This video is amazing and hilarious. Im late to the party, but this game is good fun. I hope they keep working on it.
Samw here bro!
What's the outro song? I really like it.,
Deltarune - green room (unreleased ost)
@@fripfrop_ Thank you! Great vid too :)
8:12 was way too real man, LMAO
Thank the emperor this was in my recommended by the algorithm. But really, I love Darktide. Yes, there are glaring problems like some glitches and being at the mercy of RNGesus for gear and missions, but I still love it. The gameplay's fun, the in-game community is largely nice compared to most places (the discord is a dumpster fire) so I've been really enjoying myself. Still waiting patiently for new content and fixes, but it seems like they're very slowly hammering them out.
😂😂😂😂
5 minutes in, two words caught my attention suddenly, as I'm lazily watching yt, half falling asleep... ranged.. penetration.. and I lolled, wide awake
looks like I need to start putting more ranged penetration in my videos
"darktide is the kind of game to boot you from the match and show you something like "to question is to doubt" "
funniest shit ive ever fucking heard, well done mate
The entire game could be fixed in a single patch.
1. Remove the padlock in the crafting system, just get rid of it. If you have the materials you should be able to pick both perks and blessings which is what the originally intended.
2. Fully open up the same crafting system, some perks/blessings still haven't dropped for players who have played since launch. Again, players have the materials, let them use them.
3. Add in the weapon attachments shown pre-release and let players use the weapons to unlock them, for example "Get 500 kills with the Bolter to unlock a scope", "1000 for a +5 Magazine", they even had different rounds for certain weapons, some weapons like the Melta still haven't been added.
Actually communicate with the player base and explai9n why things haven't arrived or if they're even still on the horizon (new subclasses each quarter).
Is it ever coming out on console? Or did they just lie lol
It's pretty good, ngl
what the song when is the heretics part loll
Still no Zealot book 😢
Ill try DT again when they actually release something new to the game. So probably in 2-3 years time.
9:55, sir THAT one didn't age quite so well!
i feel like fatshark has a tendency to make their games like grenades. it'll take a while for the fuse to burn down but in due time you'll start to like it.
My first exposure to warhammer 40k
Sharpshooter may not actually be part of the guard, but that won’t stop 95% of us sharpshooter mains from acting and RPing like it!
This truly is a gateway drug to warhammer 40k, something was keeping me back from the universe and now I can't get enough of the world.
games not going to get any serious updates until they've finished the console port. Apparently the same thing happened with Vermintide 2, it launched in a buggy state not much was done to fix it for like a year, console port drops and then suddenly we're getting regular updates.
i stopped playing the game a few days after launch and recently jumped back into it. I say this with a lot of contempt, it feels exactly the same to me
This. All the guys saying 'it's better now!' are just saying that because they finally get 60+fps. There is NO content and you're forced to play with randoms. No private lobbies 6 months after launch. game is cooked.
@@skepsisrollins1711there have been like 3-5 new missions (abt the same as vt2 got in the same time span) multiple new mission modifiers that change gameplay drastically, probably 3 new weapons for every class, a drastically revamped crafting and loot system, and the new auric missions that just released. Also, there has been a private mode probably within 1-2 months after launch. Should the game have launched with a private mode and a good crafting system 100%. But at least be correct when voicing complaints abt a game bc the two complaints you gave (no new content and no private mode) are just not true. There's still a lot to dislike but there is new content and there has been a private mode for months now
Behold Patch 13 completely transformed the game.
Only here for the ost
WHY IS IT STILL NOT ON CONSOLE?!?!??
I just want toggle aim its 2023 is it that hard to add it have we lost that technology to time?
Now will it ever reach Xbox like they promised?
this nice video me like as an ogren main myself🤝🤜🏼🤛🏼
I was really looking forward to playing this game due to the lack of non rts wh40k games on console, but they removed it from the xbox store after people had already preordered it. So I am stuck waiting for space marine 2
Hot take but I enjoy the strength of a weapons hit, like chiv 2 or Mordhau. Fat Shark just seemed to have done the same thing with Darktide as the did with Vermintide, linear-striking weapon play with little replayability. A large redeeming factor Darktide has is the Soundtrack and Character conversations so respect where its due, but given the gaming market changes need to be made to future games.
Theres a lot of missed potential with the game, like a 5th class maybe a disgraced commisar and plenty of weapons that can be added in with the hundreds of unique Imperial guard units
I'm a new player as in the last few days. I got it for 17.99 i figured id give it a shot.
Glad I did I really enjoy it for a pastime and something to yell laim warhammer qoutes at
Vet: The fighter. More shields then anyone else makes them almost immune to bullets and lots of dakka to bully elites and hordes alike. VERY resource dependent tho.
Zealot: The barbarian. Lives off of sheer crackhead aggresion and is reliant on your melee prowess
Phsyker: The sourcerer. Lots of power that isn't resource dependent. Makes up for it by being squishy, and fatsharks redheaded stepchild
Ogryn: The tank. Melee damage doesn't bleed through their shield, their guns are powerful yet clubky and inaccurate, and the melee combat is ragdoll simulator
Want to play it on Xbox. Wasn’t available that was my largest letdown
I honestly love the game. Played since the first alpha and haven't gotten bored. Lore wise its lacking a ton which is kinda disappointing, but theres a lot you can parse from it, plus there isn't much separating tertium from any other hive other than they make cooler tanks or some shit. But I do love deleting hive goblins with the plasma gun or playing baseball with the thunder hammer :D
Does anyone know about a console release?
Very good game with much potential. As in the past with vermintide, fat shark makes mistakes, but never before have they failed to fix them over time. Despite the problems tho the game is bloody amazing.
having sat through the vermintide series with fatshark i knew what i was getting into and didnt focus on all the big flashy promises. i knew id get a solid gameplay loop (aside from a few outsiders) and that once the inital fumble was over it would only go up. I just wish it wasn't so far down to begin with.
it felt like a couple steps back from vermintide and that irked me but over all i wasnt playing for the story or pinpoint lore integrity. i just wanted a 40k FPS and they at least delivered on that part.
for me, i feel as if darktide really is missing that special something. vermintide II feels like a real left 4 dead clone because it has that hack and slash but also character development and good characters. honestly vermintide is one of the only instances of end times lore being really compelling due to the increasing sense of dread and depression everyone is slowly but surely getting, even lohner with his jolly self.
darktide (and frankly 40k lore in general) will always lack that down to earth personal feel. over the top grimdark is fun but to a certain extent it can feel as if it lacks emotion, so it just feels like going through the motions with a generic stereotype of a soldier/pysker/whatever instead of an actual person.
Do they even have single player AI yet?

05:18 Me in my first and only play through so far, LOVE IT. DIE MUTANT SCUM! TO THE OMNISSIAH!!!
Matt Ward Wrote the Story. dan Abbentt talent was Wasted, and were still missing Karskin, Mordian, 13th Legion (last chancer), Skins, and don't forget Subclass, so people stop playing Veteran as a Grenadier. he a marksman not a Shocktrooper and then We have Storm-trooper(Tempestus Scion/karskin (Cadian's Only)), AStropath for Psyker, Gunlugger for Oryrn, and Acrofallagent for Zealot.
I know lore/power wise it wouldn’t make sense to have us mowing down hordes of plague marines but it would be kinda cool to have like a single plague marine as like a boss, or maybe even make him invincible so the point is to simply evade him
Me with 700 hours in the game and missing only one achievement: I feel called out at :57 in😅
You were 💯 % correct
Love mehemprah
For all its flaws i absolutely love this game. It helps that i have a group of buddies that i play with on the regular. We have a blast in high intensity and maelstrom. Im optimistic about where it will go in the future
Toe Sniffing Hooligans'
As someone who played previous Fatshark games, such as Vermintide series, Darktide is GOOD, but far from what it should have been.
Sux. The Ultrvnmarnes!
Would be a better game if it had an actual storymode like Vermintide. But instead they monetized everything and basically ruined it.
Darktide gameplay: "OMG so fun!" Darktide outside of gameplay: "Why would you do that? That's utter crap and you know it. YOU FRUSTTATING"
still wish the stories ha build around maps like vermintide
