Disclaimer: In the middle of making this video there TECHNICALLY was another game (Helldivers 2) that is grand enough to rival Deep Rock Galactic, however due to how much of the project was already completed I couldn't really find space to talk about it.

Many thanks for the support, it is much appreciated!
Here is an alternate edit that didn't make it into the final video:

Any Game or Forum... Post: Rock and Stone! you get an answer 90% id say!
Deep Rock is what modern gaming should be
Fr tho helldivers 2 and drg have the best approach to live service games I have ever seen
boring?
@@Sharunock how much of it have you played?
@@Sharunock get this leaf lover outa here
@@Sharunock i mean, it DOES feel slow at the start. But as soon as you unlock a new weapon or too, you'll be stoked
I honestly believe that the phrase "rock and stone" carries more than 50% of the influence of this game
I can't think of any other game that can link two strangers together with just 3 words
Did I hear a rock and stone?
Rick and stone forever!
Liberty, and Democracy!
JK: ROCK AND STONE!!
FOR ROCK AND STONE!
IF YOU DON'T ROCK AND STONE, YOU AIN'T GOING HOME
The two words I'd describe DRG wouldn't be "cooperation refined"
Instead it'd be "ROCK" and "STONE"!
Or perhaps "WE'RE" AND "RITCH"
Mayhaps even "GOO" and "SACK"
Even the phrase “FOR” and “KARL” works very well
Or even better MUSH and ROOM
Did I hear a ROCK AND STONE?!
You forgot
They are not greedy for cash
The only ones who are greedy for cash here are the dwarves themselves and the company. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
real
Although drg is :(((
@@symus29165 that’s BS. How? How are they greedy?
@@danny_decheeto8300 they were probably referring to the in-universe company, and not the game itself lol
almost 800 hours on the game, can count all the toxic players I´´ve found on One Hand
Same, 750 hours for me
And i dont have hands
I’m only at 120 hours so I haven’t encountered anyone remotely toxic yet
I remember I ended a mission before one particular player was finished, and they kept saying insults in the text chat, but they were all colorful in-character dwarvish insults. “Ya yellow-livered tree hugger!” and the like. Even when people are annoyed at you, they’ll often somehow be in good spirits about it.
Forgot to count all the lobbies "Meta only +75 levels only". If there is a game with level progression, there is always forms a cast of elitist meta-players who will kick you the picosecond you appear in lobby.
Just a quick note: DRG: Survivor was not developed by Ghost Ship Games, only Rogue Core.
Rock and Stone
Many thanks, and yes I had learned later that Ghost Ship helped publish DRG Survivor while it was being developed.
Most of the production of the video was done by then, minor oversight on my part.
Something I always notice when I play is I’m not playing to grind for the coolest overclock or the best upgrade, I’m playing to play
i like how you absolutely nail scout out of the air at 3:57
Meet the Sniper
Nah, Scouts are always exactly where you're aiming, at exactly the wrong moment. The real achievement is to not shoot them.
Get down, Mr. Caretaker!
i absolutely love how the scout caught that expertly. This is why scout gets tk'ed so often its all him
You know what the best part is? Season 5 is coming out in less than 3 days. You know what is being added in season 5? The ability to pick any season and play it as if it is the current one. No more FOMO. You truly can leave any time you want and come back any time you want, and NEVER miss a single inch of content.
Not that there was much FOMO before since all season items were still available and still free, but it is great to see
As much as I love helldivers 2 I feel it has yet to come even close to what the deep rock community has achieved for themselves.
In my 600 hours of playing deep rock I have only ran into 1 persons who was a complete dick. But in helldivers I expect to be shot before entering the drop ship or kicked for not doing what the host deems the correct way to play I’m not saying it’s 100% of the time but at least a good 30-40% of the times
Keep in mind that it took DRG 5-6 years to culminate the community that it has now. In the case of Helldivers it has the potential to grow, flourish but also iron out a lot of unsaid etiquette when in missions.
Not disagreeing with what you are saying mind, I've had my fair share of matches where things went south fast.
I've already been kicked more in my 20 hours of helldivers than my entire 700 hours in DRG... So yea, community still has some growing to do there.
Yeah, contrary to many other games. High-level/veteran players in DRG are usually nice and helpful. Most dickheads tend to be greenbeards who don’t understand the game very well yet.
@@theMoonWalker87I’m not sure Helldivers will ever get there. There’s something magical going on with the theme of DRG. The fact that you’re space fascists in Helldivers and blue collar roughnecks in DRG matters a bit, I think.
Not to say Helldivers isn’t incredible when things are working!
@@MrBaron15 ok maybe not anymore
My favourite thing about DRG is the no Fomo. It really is a game you can come back at any time. And unlike other it doesn't get mad at you for being away for a while, it just sits down with you and is happy that you returned
Anti-Fomo is king, and the fact that you can go back and play previous seasons is the cherry on top. DRG proudly states "All the content is available at all times."
@@RedStar441 for them the game is truely meant to be the best it can be. You can only have respect and admiration for these people. I am just not sure if that is a good thing (not that they are like this, but that they are the exception)
what is fomo?
@@TK-7193 FOMO stands for "Fear Of Missing Out". It's a phrase that describes the feeling of being worried that you're missing out on limited time content. For example, being sad you missed some super cool skin from a previous battle pass.
DRG manages to fix this by making all content available at all times. Minus seasonal events like birthday events and holiday events, but those return every year.
@@TK-7193 Fear of missing out. It's the trick that is employed, when games put things behind a timer.
DRG should be the Golden standard that ALL Coop horde shooters should hope to acheive no pay to win almost all drip is not paid for at and its not 70 bucks for a laggy mess
Rock and Stone brothers
Well said indeed.
No pay to win shit either
My favourite part of deep rock is the fact that the creators literally play and stream their own game, they made a game so they could just play it themselves. It’s the reason why there’s so much love and care put into it
That and you look at some of the things they present like the dwarves' dance moves or their trailers (They had promotion rank levels of 420, 69, and a silly name like John Succondis in the Season 5 trailer or the fact that they used a fanmade remix of a fanmade song for a trailer) you can tell the devs are gamers and shitposters themselves that enjoy having a good time XD
Speedplay and modded difficulties really push this game’s cooperative gameplay to the maximum. Speedplay can be art when performed well, and modded forces every class to perform their role perfectly. 2500 hours in and I’m still not bored. A 3 minute egg mission, a 10 minute refinery, or a hardcore modded true solo will do that to a dwarf.
So excited for haz 5+ in season 5.
i’m so excited for season 5 cuz there’s gonna be a feature where you can switch to old seasons plus there’s gonna be a lot more new stuff
Same, Rival Escalation was perhaps my favorite season but I only got to experience the tail end of it.
I'm also happy about this, because it means I can switch to season 3 every time I play sabotage to get my "large meteor strike in both power station rooms" experience again :)
I will say Helldivers 2 reached for the sky, and saw the spacerig high above them. They came close, but not quite there.
ROCK AND STONE!!
It never gets old...
Rock and Stone BROTHA!
STONE AND ROCK! Oh, wait!
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?
FOR ROCK AND STONE
STONE!
Rumor says if you write "Rock and Stone!" in other coop game's chat there's huge chance that someone replies "To the bone!"
I did reply "For Karl!" to someone who shouted Rock and Stone in the EDF game and also found someone saying that in Monster hunter world for some reason lol
ROCK ME LIKE A STONE!
YEAH!! ROCK AND STONE!!
The best parts of DRG cooperation :
1 - no matter how you`re good, it`d take tons of time to do everything on your own. Yes, Mr. Driller 1337, that cave leech that caught you 200m from us, cause you drilled to visible cave system will demonstrate it to you.
2 - vast moments of peace with *no enemies whatsoever* , when you *have time* to cooperate via pings or MUSHROOM helps a lot. I can`t imagine something like that in Vermintide/L4D, which i adore. Partialy, cause in those game you know where stuf could be and couldn`t, while in DRG you could find 1 smal dot in the corner, which is Enor perl mark deep inside or hear a loot crate beeps throught the wall, which add new objective for nearest minute
3 DRG comunity have established rules, which are passed to each greenbeard dared to play few public games alone.
4 Voice comands on everything. If you ignorent to pings or pressing CTRL every few secs - you still know what your teammates are doing. Digging, shooting, depositing, pinging something important - you don`t need to see it, unless they`re over ~100 meters from you
5 Every class is distinct in it`s role and you can learn how to play by simply watching ppl around you do stuff. Even tho they can use unlocked weapons and overclocks - they`re still specialised at same as a class. Understanding your fellow dwarf helps you understand your role and keeps the immersion on
...and Helldivers tried but nothing beats ROCK. AND. STONE!!!!!
This video is such a beautiful love letter. I bet the devs would cry watching this.
Fingers crossed one of them eventually sees this.
@@MrBaron15We've seen it, and it has been shared around at the office. Thank you for the kind words!. Rock & Stone.
@@gsganders8355 An absolute honor, thank you for making an unforgettable game. Rock & Stone.
the key points that kept me playing for 1400h is that DRG blends pefectly coop horde shooter, engaging platformer and traversal (sometimes modeling the terrain to your advantage), perks to tinker with for hours on end (there a no bad builds, no matter what people on the internet tell you), the possibility to mod the shit out of your lobby and still play with 4 people, all that wrapped with good humor and a good community to go along with.
what is there not to like about this game?
The Dallas AHHHH will always get me laughing when I dont expect it.
It's always nice stumbling over small channels like this, especially if you've made videos yourself
It's my favorite shooter. Helldivers was really fun, hell, probably still is. But drg is the one I still play.
11:24 This game really can't decide whether or not its a live service. It receives notable updates, but doesn't demand you stick with it 24/7 (especially with the season reactivation thing coming up very soon).
Deep Rock is straight up just the best online live service game right now. I hold every other game to this game's standards
Darktide is at least a lot better than it was on launch, but no game can compare to DRG still
Indeed, DRG is in a class all its own.
darktide has incredibly good gameplay. People point to the negative reviews but the skill ceiling in it is way higher than anything DRG will ever achieve. DRG gets a lot of mileage out of the generated caves making missions feel fresh, but it still has some holes in its gameplay fundamentals that will never have it hit the heights of Tide gameplay.
@@Joeggurnaut546 the only thing i can think of is the lack of difficulties above haz 5, because haz 5 does get pretty easy after a while
Darktide at launch? That's really low bar right there mate
@@desko2041 I guess you are really happy with the new season then)
I have 1,200 hours in DRG. One of my absolute favorite things about it is it's time efficiency, I love queing a mission when I need to charge my airpods or if I need a breather from my treadmill or I need my food to heat up. Ive had days where Ive finished 3 missions in under an hour and didn't sweat a drop doing so. It's a timeless game I never get sick of
I personally love all phrases, and that's one of DRG brick's. LOOK, INNO PEARL HERE, I SMELL BECON, HELP ME YOU BASTARD, IS IT A BLOODY TARGET ON MY BACK OR WHAT??? THIS WAY!! WE ARE UNBREAKABLE! FOR ROCK AND STONE
You know what. Only the fiest 15 seconds have earned you a like
I respect your punctuality
What do you mean?
Nice! Rock Raiders music. Amazing
The game is also takes literally less than 4 GB of space (truly dwarf-sized)
01:15 If I could describe drg with just two words, it would be 'rock' and 'stooone'.
when i play drg i feel like the game is made by a friend for friends
Didn’t expect to love this game as much as i did. almost have 200 hours on it now and it really is just a great co-op shooter. the combat and traversing the caves is just so unique
Short answer: its actually fun and giving the players more than what they paid for :D
im glad people are still making these types of videos. brings me back to when i wasnt able to play this game, and i just watched loads of content for it. good times
Same, finally able to buy the game now
Same, when I bought it my pc was only able to do 2 FPS and lots of colourful glitches
Rock and stone brother
ROCK AND STONE FOR FUCKING EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
1500h in game and i can say that no other coop game can come close to DRG. What set this game apart from other games is that it is fps but you need to think like you play chess. Also in many situations you need to make split second decisions. One wrong move or stupid action and you all die and the mission is over. You need to be good in killing bugs, how you move in space around you and how you can use space around you in your and your team advantage. Complex and fun game for sure. Rock & Stone! ❤️
6:31 bro must be stalking me because this is the most accurate description of how i found this game
One of the best videos i watched this week. keep it up!!!
Deep rock is truly a diamond in the rough. Im so glad everyday that me and my friend found it and gace it a try. 1000+hrs in and i still have a blast with my friends and strangers. And not being bogged down by pay to win or microtransactions, i find myself more willing to give my money in support for them. Truly it is one of the greatest games in history Rock and Stone!
FOR ROCK AND STONE!
ROCK AND STONE OR YOUR NOT COMING HOME
ROCK AND STONE. Glad to find this game and this greatest community ever. Its now not just a game for me, its part of my soul
for rock and stone
Rock and Stone, to the bone!
We complete every mission for one reason... For Carl!
DRG has a better foundation currently than other coop games that die within months because they lack needed features that would be added after their battlepass is finished, the game lets you learn and refine your skill over time that is more visible compared to coop games that sometimes let the players with the highest level weapon win, and that base game without the seasons has carried the game mostly to this day, its just that the base game and endgame content has felt ignored mostly for seasons instead that I go through within a month, hopefully rogue core will provide a good future, also DRG survivor feels meh with all the overclocks mostly being stat upgrades also
There's no other game that has a dedicated ROCK AND STONE button!
Rock And Stone
anyone who’s played this game could count the amount of toxic players they’ve seen on their hands without any hands
You can move a lot of objectives, they have very simple physics that allow you to drop them down a bit. This is especially true in Salvage missions, where only the Drop Pod cannot be moved.
Don’t forget, any dwarf can do the job at any level.
This touches on pretty much everything I love about DRG and why I've put almost 3k hours into it. There's been more time with everything unlocked than without and the game doesn't get dull. It's also astonishing how I've only had about 7 toxic interactions in the over 3 years I've put into this game. The quality of the community reflects the quality of the game. Rock and Stone miner! Well done!
3:58 This is the biggest reason why this game is FUN
Yo this video was so fire I'll watch again 🎉
Your inclusion of the fan-made music for the game is just the perfect highlight for the video. There is no other coop game like DRG (Helldivers sure does try, good for them). I wish you mentioned it somewhere that those songs were fan-made though, they deserve their own shoutout and it's another testament to how good the game is, and how closely tied the developers and the fans of this community are.
Rock and Stone you beautiful dwarves!
I have played this game 1250 hours, and will play more. It is nearly perfect, its so unic and thoughtful
Да, эта игра в целом хороша именно из-за четкой классификации, и крайне важным взаимодействием между друг другом.
Нельзя позволить столь замечательной игре пропасть
The Rock Raiders music was soooo good.
another common drg review/analysis W for the books lads
I've been down in the caves for 7 years and I still cannot Rock n'Stone enough.
Best co-op and funnest grind you'll ever find. Period
Man, I can’t wait for tomorrow… the next DRG update comes out, with the Drillevator and the monsters from A Quiet Place… plus, I want me a fire-wall flamethrower overclock, simple as.
WE'RE UNBREAKABLE
so true
MANY thanks for giving this a watch. Big fan of your work in DRG as well.
Amazing vid keep on going , you earned my sub
Much appreciated :)
ROCK & STONE BROTHER
ROCK AND STONE
Video-game analysis refined.
6:05
TAKE THAT NEMESIS!
As a mainly solo scout player I never really thought about the cooperation side of the game. I’ve played multiplayer but typically we don’t take advantage of the terraforming aspects of the game. One thing that me and my friends always do cooperatively is to coordinate our weapon and equipment builds. We might have one guy using mainly single target guns, and then we have some using grunt clear weapons. It’s really fun to coordinate builds and prepare for a deep dive.
Rock and stone for life!
One other thing of note is a lack of FOMO. Sure, seasons exist. But you can still get everything. Free items stay free, too. In fact, in a couple days, you'll be able to set the season you are on entirely
I bought the game with my friend to play privately and one day he got bored. That's when i decided to try public. I never liked public lobbies because i felt i'd disappoint them if i got downed or they'd judge me for being bad. I have no idea how they did it but public games made me realize that i'm allowed to make mistakes, that everyone is. In DRG people don't look at your mistakes, but your good deeds which is the opposite of everyday life. It doesn't matter if you're a greenbeard or level 300, I'm going to risk the entire mission so you can make it to the drop pod and rock and stone with us inside. And if we fail we'll just try again, no worries. If you Rock and Stone, you're never alone!
Did I hear a rock and stone?
Game companies should learn that when you commit resources to actually making a game the community wants you get rewarded big time. I honestly can’t believe why game companies refuse to do away with mainly micro-transaction based cosmetics and paid updates. Make a game that people want to play, people buy the game, people love they game, they buy skins. It’s not that hard
people buy skins even now though. the problem with the current Big Company Gamung oandscape, is that their models work. why would they need to put effort, when they can just sell skins/gacha stuff for absolurd prices, and people will still buy it.
in gamung industry and the like, people vote with their wallets, and that vote has already been made
@@GEB_Rosee_PPS you missed my point tho, I’m saying it takes virtually the same amount of effort for both paths, only difference being that at the end of it you’re either left with a good game that people will talk about for years and years (and with that comes a loyal fanbase for your next game) or you’re left with a mediocre game that no one will play anymore so you have to make another mediocre game so you can keep making money. “Their models work” so does making a good game, you’re saying that as if those shitty models make more money for less effort which is not true. They make more money for less effort UPFRONT, but in the long run they lose reputation, they never build a strong employee base, and they will eventually die out because of it. My whole point is that game companies who choose to make mediocre games to turn a quick profit are morons, if they focussed on building a good business instead of looking for quick cash they would make way more in the long run. Yes “people buy skins even now”, but it doesn’t change the fact that these companies should still be trying to make good games, sure if people stopped buying overpriced skins it would help, but it shouldn’t be a problem even now if true artists were calling the shots instead of moronic marketing people who can only value short term gains.
we fight for rock and stone!
You should make a lot more videos like this man, this was QUALITY
Keep up the work, would love to see you in a couple years on my recomended again
Many thanks!
Rock & Stone
I must rock and stone to the bone.
I’m glad somebody pushed back on that super dude video, each game he pushed back to being a “child of left 4 dead” was kind of insulting in the way it grossly oversimplified what each of those games managed to do and how much further we’ve progressed since a 2009 zombie co-op shooter, fact is deep rock is so much more than just a “child of left 4 dead”
Even though Helldivers 2 is current flavor of the year for Co-Op horde shooters, Deep Rock Galactic remains my favorite and the best co-op shooter
how the hell do you have such little subscribers? this video is amazing
I was enjoying the video and then I heard the first riff of shiki no uta and thats when I knew this guy has taste both in games and shows
Finally just got the game had the time of my life with my friend and spent 4 hours in my first playthrough
Rock and Stone!
Rock and stone!
Dude, you can now complete any previous battle passes anytime you want for free! That's what all games should be
2:29 strongly disease on this one! As a Engineer main myself i can tell doesn't have alot of weakness. I think they are a jack-of-all-traits and perfect for solo and your turret should be a secondary objective (mostly i rock solo turret with quick builds and while rocking the shotgun i pick the turret blast). I think they are the filler/ancor/complemention role to other classes characters the most. The worst thing about him though is the fact that hes hard to manage
