  • 90% of this video is gameplay, but its a special occasion where I was able to get 3 of my favorite youtubers in a single lobby with me to do a come back tour for Darktide. We ended up playing Helldivers 2 instead and I thought that game was very entertaining, at least worth posting given the special occasion.

      They squandered their own opportunities; they hired Dan Abnett to write lore for their game and didn’t even work it into a proper narrative! Just random website lore and snippets of cutscenes. They constantly bumbled things in baffling peculiar fashions.

    Yeah. Nerfs, An enemy we've already seen before, and more challenges no one really cares to do because we haven't had a spec of content worth playing since before the end of last year. Plenty of cosmetics though, for whoever that matters too. (The shareholders)

      Not to mention these cosmetics are half-assed or recycled in the most laziest way (just swapping one string like *metalsteel→ metalgold*) with just few exceptions, where still the vast majority of 'cosmetics' are copy-paste-edit-save UI elements.
      Plus like 90% of these penances are "do puzzle on this map and this difficulty", offering no rewards aside for battle pass progression, which is unrewarding itself.
      This update is a PR stunt and nothing more.

    Sorting out the Penances and cosmetic rewards, and crafting (next thing apparently) I think is a good idea, As they're the frustrating support systems many players want improved.
    And it's there and ready when they add more substantial content with new maps etc
    ... but that does mean it's not yet enough for DT players checked out on content.

  • @dragomusic4907
    @dragomusic4907 Před 4 měsíci +2

    As far as Darktide goes, I was having some pretty random server disconnects at times. Even when just in the Mourningstar lobby. Not as consistent as Ryken but still annoying.
    Also the fact that a lot of the cosmetics are still recolors irks me a bit, as well as no new universal weapon skins (I think you get a blue and tan camo for 4 weapons and that's it?).
    No new weapon changes is what's the main killer for me. Figuring out wth they did to DD was fun though (it involves bugs because it's Fatshark of course it does).

    Not sure DT warrants such a trivial response, though I cannot wait for crafting to be fixed and a more substantial update. Darktide scratch an itch Helldivers cannot provide; I'm still enjoying both.
    Telopots' take is far more useful, for anyone wanting an actual DT update.

    • @Reginald-sc9tk
      @Reginald-sc9tk  Před 3 měsíci +1

      DT's patch absolutely warrants this response. They've left us with nothing for like 4 months and then they poot out some barebones stuff that should have been there on release. I'd be mad if I hadn't given up on fatshark already. DT is wonderful as a game but its clearly being made by three very talented people. Darktide has a superior gameplay twitch experience to anything on the market but it also hasn't had meaningful updates to sink your teeth into since the class rework.

      My experience with gasmen was that they were almost unimportantly unimpactful. Except a few times where I kinda felt just stuck. Triplet spawns are always kinda lame, even in auric maelstrom in my view.

    Around 33:00 a beautiful thing happens. You realized you were having too much fun and forgot that there were things to grind for.
    This is the essence of why Helldivers 2 is good, and other live service games are less good. They forgot to make the game fun first, and add progression and grind later.

    In a few years we'll get a new map and some weapons. Look, Vermintide 2 just got an update. What about your current game, Fatshark? It's obvious the time was spent working on that instead of the "live service" of Darktide LOL. Who is managing FS it just looks silly, I can't even feel insulted as a player anymore.
    Helldivers is also very fun, but I get frustrated with the jank at times. Not the fun jank, mind you, but like the BS shenanigans of the game. Random crits... one moment I tank a turret blast to the face with an energy shield, the next instance with the same situation and armor/shield it kills me. Hunters random crits nearly killing me and then later in the map not... it's a dice roll. How about bots seeing my friend across the map and then insta-180-turning to the hidden me and rocketing me in the air as I dive away. They had no idea I was there a moment ago. They gotta fix some of that.
    I just realized.... why do I love these games? They abuse me so. Help me beloved, I'm sick.

    • @Reginald-sc9tk
      @Reginald-sc9tk  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Helldiver's jank is at least justifiable since they have a content pipeline and a singular death is rarely a catastrophe. Watching HD2 deliver content regularly and DT deliver gaseous heads once every aeon is brutal.

    • @raven75257
      @raven75257 Před 4 měsíci

      There is no such thing as random crits. Those are headshot. Your head has 0 armor value, so you will stop existing from headshot damage regardless of armor.
      Also, highly recommend to look up how stealth works. The situation you described came because you mistook bot alert to aggression.
      Helldivers 2 has plenty of junk, but it's not what you described

      @@Reginald-sc9tk Very true. I tend to laugh it off most times. I get a little more serious about it as the reinforcement count goes down but less crashing and disconnects make me feel less salty. And yeah, I appreciate all those little (or big) events they implement to keep the game feeling fresh. Now I'm hoping for a new faction and some urban levels.

    • @mr6291
      @mr6291 Před 4 měsíci

      @@raven75257 I don't know if there's no such thing as crits but a lot of stuff I've seen has made me question it. Didn't know about no helmet armor so maybe some kind of server latency has me questioning what I see.
      The turret example. First one was a shot to my dome and I got up and survived. The second one was to my chest and it was instant K.O.
      I've survived large packs of hunters in heavy armor and many swipes with minimal damage despite them always seeming to get those head shots in other instances. This had me thinking there was some kind of crit going on. I'm regularly surrounded in huge numbers when fighting bugs (I like the flamer).
      I've had friends on fire next to me in a fire tornado but the ground was clear and safe for me. I've fought 3 chargers at once after loading into a map when a friend asked what the heck I was doing (they were already dead on his screen).
      Stuff like this leads me to question a lot of what happens in the game.
      As for stealth, I watched the stream where the devs talked about it. It's all based on sound and visuals. They react to louder sounds (strat call-ins, certain weapons fire, explosions) and stuff they see directly.
      The instance I described was me being behind them, behind a boulder and doing nothing (prone and motionless). My friend, a football field away in front of them, alerts them. They turn around instantly and fire on me.
      There's some jank there. They must see all players as a connected group when they are detected, despite distance.
      I based that on this: friends across the map getting chased and me quietly getting samples on the opposite side get random potshots from that specific group only despite 200+m of distance.
      Also, the whole stance thing affecting how they register gunshots is silly but I use it to stealth bases (crouch/prone to take out targets 1 at a time). They notice you if you're standing when firing.

      @raven75257 Před 4 měsíci

      @@mr6291 It's mostly a combination of latency and specific hitboxes. This can be tested easily. Start a new game with your friend. Stand still with a hug emote, and have your friends shoot and barely miss your character's fingers. On your friends screen it will look like he's barely touching your fingers, meanwhile at your screen there will be red liquid splatter but no damage. That's why it feels so inconsistent at times.
      Don't forget how attacks to different body parts also deal different damage
      Plenty of people have done good research on this. Though, I would caution you to check who you're listening to, because most CZcamsrs drop down to the planet, get hit for 2 minutes straight, and think that's research
