Warhammer 40k has officially introduced Space Dwarfs or "Stunties" to 40k again.

[Haych]

Is there any way this community and the 40k community cross pollinate and we see some love here?

"BLESS THIS RAVAGED BODY!"

Seriously though, I'm not saying FatShark are the best dev's out there or anywhere on GSG's level, nor do I expect Darktide to be the "new DRG" for me; but I enjoyed Vermintide 2 for about 200 hours and I have no reason to think I won't get the same from Darktide.

Besides, if it's 40k themed and even half way decent I'm gonna t least give it a try; I even sort of enjoyed Space Hulk: Deathwing lol.

Deathwing was depressing - Divine Cybermancy was a janky masterpiece and it was sad to see Streum somehow make a WORSE game when given an actual budget to work with.

Still had amazing atmosphere.

If you mean spacehulk: deathwing, while failing in a lot of aspects, they nailed the asthetics/atmosphere pretty much.

Yeah, Deathwing was so detailed and atmospheric you could just walk around admiring the environment. Kinda wish there was a mode without Tyranids to do just that.

What I really want is EYE2. For a tiny French indie dev, it delivered some of the most satisfying gunplay I can recall, the shotgun in particular felt incredible and is on my top 3 of video game shotguns. Also had very interesting ideas regarding using hacking to crash the head-computers of your enemies, which was jank but very immersive.

Are you not hyped for Darktide though? It's a 4 player 40k co-op shooter; made by the people who make Vermintide.

Excited? They are at most medicore devs and notoriously slow.
It will be bugridden for the first 6 months with quiet a high chance.

Seeing that the game has any focus on melee, killed what little interested I had.

Vermintide melee feels horrible as it is, I can't imagine actually paying for a game that contains it in some aspect.

The devs themselves are just the tip of the not interested iceberg.

Guess darktide will be heavier leaning on ranged.
V2 was already close to even with melee and ranged. Also there are plenty of games that feel worse in melee.

For me its waiting and maybe buying, probably at discount.

Yea the melee was really bad in that game, mindless first-person hack and slasher. What killed V2 for me was I watched an "expert" game and it was literally the exact same gameplay as I was experiencing at level 1. The only difference between me and those people is grinding out gear. Very lame.

like PTSD it comes flooding back. I forgot about the horrible gear grind. I tried to forget about it.

V2 felt a little too chaotic for me. Just Skaven everywhere, players running around, and crap happening that just made no sense. I started when it already had an established player base though, so perhaps that's why. lol. I could rarely play as the characters I wanted too, so that sucked.

Never watched any "experts".
Its fairly smiliar with DRG and V2 difficulty wise, the game just throws more at you and you need to use some things a bit more like CC.

In DRG you can hold your own with any OC in H5, which is a fairly low gear "grind". It's mostly a skill-based game. V2 = if you don't have the gear you are literally incapable of doing it, no matter how good you think you are it's mathematically impossible. Gear-based game i.e. boring slog of a grind.

Smelled that ♥♥♥♥ real quick, that's why I only have like 7 hours in the game. One of my more regretful purchases...

There are masochists that play back to the roots (all gear = basic gray crap) on higher difficulties in V2.
So its also possible, but fairly tiresome.

Ah, so you just kite forever and slowly wittle them down? Does sound tiresome.

Guess its more CC. Kiting doesn't really work if the enemy is quicker unless you get ledges.

It aint a "mindless hack and slasher" at all lol, even the classes that are geared more towards that have to use positioning and parrying.

They're called SQUATS, get it right.
