Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity, much like expecting a proper hype train to be built via Fatshark comms.

I’m not defending their actions here, but any player that expects more than (given the history of the tide games) what is explicitly told to us by Fatshark is just setting themselves up for disappointment. And even then, their explicit claims have also been wrong before.

I do look forward to updates and new content, but I keep my expectations low at this point so I can be pleasantly surprised later.

You can argue that it shouldn’t be the state of things as much as you want. I’m not telling you not to, but it is what it is.

Swagger’s got human-looking hands and black (painted?) fingernails…any lore-heads reading anything there? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk9U-4jU93w

Sigh…

Answering as asked from a lore perspective not from a DT Fatshark but sure have fun.

Kinda curious what the pickaxe will do that Thundershovel doesn’t. Maybe offer a more baseline rending experience so you don’t need specific blessings + headshots to crack open carapace and bosses, in exchange for less CC?

Ugh…

I genuinely loved the last trailer they put out introducing Wolfer and the Moebians. It made Wolfer look genuinely badass and dangerous while also introducing understandable motives for him and the Moebians to turn traitor. Probably the best trailer Fatshark has ever put out, and one of the coolest 40k sequences I can recall.

This one just…painfully screams “tryhard edgelord”.

We are your sons. We are your daughters. We have come home.

Not going to lie that actually made me impressed. It was really good writing.

Oooh, you know what would have been great, if he ends up like a 40k Hondo Ohnaka. Confident swagger that belies his complete incompetence.

Is it just me or does Swagger sound a bit like Avallac’h from The Witcher 3?

Love the mouse cursor


Is that a curved mag clipping through?

Quality work as usual I reckon.

Some real cool touches in this new level:

Enemies have snow on their bodies.

There are unidentified/untagged bits of snow attached to some areas that can be destroyed to reveal pickups (a scripture).

That’s really stupid if that’s the case imo

I mean, they’re visually obvious and part of learning the level.

Prolly wanna put the spoiler tag back on my quote for anyone wanting to go in blind.

I thought it would do it automatically.

I just think it makes an already obnoxious part of the game, which is scrounging around for collectibles which is made worse with the books, even worse.

Maul and bolt pistol look very underwhelming. Might be useful for some meme builds but nothing that makes me jump from the seat. The shotgun seems like kickback - human edition. Let’s see how the various shovel marks perform.
