What's with Darktide anyway? 

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.

So much potential lost, Fatshark never learns from past mistakess.

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!!

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.

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

"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.

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.

Ahh dark tide, the game standing on the edge of greatness, yet being held back by some very fixable but time consuming problems.

I still play DT a lot. I hope FS magically gets their shit together and gives the game the love it deserves.

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

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.

Darktide 40Kpilled me so hard I've read like 10 of the books

Next time I'll try not to scream my lungs out in battlebit remastered before voicing my script. Hope ya enjoyed 👍

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*)

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

Absolute mad work on the editing and scripting, thanks for the video this was widely entertaining and hilarious !

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).

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

Great video with great editing love it! great job The emperor is proud of this work 👍 a new sub for u lol

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.

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.

Definitely earned a sub from me on this one. Editing is hilarious and accurate!

Boltgun is my favorite 40k game out currently it did its job exactly how we wanted and how it was advertised

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

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.

the upcoming chnages are looking like a step in the right direction I hope they can keep improving and adding real content soon

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

Awesome video for a great but flawed game. Hope Fatshark continue to support it and build upon the excellent gameplay.

Really solid video! keep it up!

loved it, played it everyday for 2 months then stopped, havent touched it since

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.

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.

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

As a VT1 & 2 player, I’ll give the advice to help sooth your soul. The game will be good…in like 3 years.

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 RU-vid 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).

The hunter sound triggered my PTSD

Good video man

"Im so sorry, you're a Warhammer fan." *looks at army shelf* *cries in life savings*

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

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.

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.

This video is amazing and hilarious. Im late to the party, but this game is good fun. I hope they keep working on it.

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).

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

immacualte video hope this blows up :D

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.

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.

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.

game not finished because we needed the reaver titan in the background

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

Ill try DT again when they actually release something new to the game. So probably in 2-3 years time.

Wrongly convicted? *Stares at Heresy Brother. Get the Flamer. The Heavy, Flamer.

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.

Does anyone know the song that starts around 3:30 please? Thank you.

can't wait for darktide 2

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

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

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.

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.

"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

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.

As someone who played previous Fatshark games, such as Vermintide series, Darktide is GOOD, but far from what it should have been.

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

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

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.

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

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!

Behold Patch 13 completely transformed the game.

My first exposure to warhammer 40k

9:55, sir THAT one didn't age quite so well!

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

I wonder what would happen if you implanted the Emporers Geneseed into an Ogryn!

Me with 700 hours in the game and missing only one achievement: I feel called out at :57 in😅 You were 💯 % correct Love mehemprah

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

I have a great time with Darktide, it's a solid stress reliever for me.

The game has been way more enjoyable after the patches now and for the price it's honestly a good buy for me we don't play it everyday like some folks do but when we do its always a good time I have a mid-rig my brother has a high end and my friend has a 6k setup all three of us had an issue at the start but none now they just need to add more stuff to kill maybe an expansion that will take us to another world add more classes like they did with Vermintide but for the price (28$) its a good grab for 40k fans.

Amazing game, the lack of story killed it for me. if anything, the soundtrack, i am deeply in love with it. I have more hours listening to music alone then playing the game overall.

Time to wait two years when the game is up to standard and then play some more. Its fun how vermintide 2 consistently has the same players as darktide daily.

My first launch game with Fatshark. Love the core game play, the atmosphere, and the music, Despise all the crap they attached to it and the insane level of incompetence of their management. We haven’t seen this level of mismanagement or corporate bullshit since Firefly was screwed over.

Would be a better game if it had an actual storymode like Vermintide. But instead they monetized everything and basically ruined it.

still wish the stories ha build around maps like vermintide

Graphics were great, gameplay feels good but lack of content kills it

I think that if Darktide didn't come after Vermintide and most of all Vermintide 2 it wouldn't get all of the shit it gets...but, sucks for them, we see what it could have been. On a good note i'd like a proceduraly generated with modifiers missions system like DT but in VT2. I feel like it's the only thing VT2 is missing, a quick game with your friends that feels new and finds it's place between a full chaos wastes run and a Nth time redo of a mission.

Im just glad I can finally be a guardsmen! Having Lasgun or plasma gun in my hands! I would love to see hellguns or Scion armor added as we already have kasrkin gear. Maybe choas kill teams as a boss?

8:12 was way too real man, LMAO

Only here for the ost

My biggest complaint with this game is I’ve had too many toxic encounters with players. I got shoved off the map by my teammates my first game I played because “I wasn’t helping”. I genuinely don’t know what I did to trigger them so bad. It has made me very hesitant to go back and play the game because I feel like if I don’t play it in the right way I’ll have to deal with toxicity which is stupid in a PvE game.

"If you like the idea of throwing your life away for the Imperial Armies of mankind then look...somewhere else" 😂😂😂

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

I've been recently getting back into darktide and Like ( even though I know a video like this won't get the dev to do something because I think its a bunch on higher up bullshit and maybe the fact that tencent in involved with fatshark now ) this game is great I love it it has so much promise but it feels terrible that like nothing is there because there this great skeleton for it everything but fuck it feels terrible seeing that this game has almost been out for a full year and were gotten nothing but a few times and some special events that happen on missions , I genuinely want this game fixed and given content because it might be able to help it breath and get more people to play it and dip there toe into the pool that is warhammer 40K even if its small change

Core gameplay is fantastic, it's the everything else that's the problem

What's the outro song? I really like it.,

Toe Sniffing Hooligans'

Should be a great game when they have it finished in a few years.

What the music called at 5:24

Still no Zealot book 😢

It's nice to heard a review that isn't just negativity bait

Darktide gameplay: "OMG so fun!" Darktide outside of gameplay: "Why would you do that? That's utter crap and you know it. YOU FRUSTTATING"
