Boy, I sure love waiting for weeks on end just to learn that Fatshark’s marquee title is still on maintenance mode. Just love it. Anybody else prepared to be entirely underwhelmed, despite low expectations?

Hey man it could be a sequel to the time we got no community update for a comms link, only that it was delayed until NEXT WEEK.

Honestly that’s where my expectations are. It could be worse, they could just say nothing.

[image] Harridas: I fear for the day when Baldur’s Gate 3 releases, nearly every person and friend I play with has been eyeing that game and that’s not even mentioning all the other bangers that have been coming out. [image] freqlectic: [image] derpherp: Maybe it could be argued it has had a long term effect, but tbh I think Fatshark doesn’t need any help f*cking their game and can do it just fine in a vacuum :no_mouth: The prophet has spoken! I’m not playing Darktide and I will definitely continue to not play Darktide when BG3 becomes available. [image] Harridas: when Baldur’s Gate 3 releases, nearly every person /…/ has been eyeing that game and /…/ all the /…/ bangers It’s hard to resist the furry intercourse! Larian seems to be doing pretty much everything right, so it might be worth taking a look at even for people that normally doesn’t appreciate the genre. Honestly, I believe @derpherp is correct here. Baldur’s Gate 3 may be an excellent game for sure. It is, however, no Darktide killer because it falls into an entire different category of game. BG3 is a turn-based, deeply numbers dependend RPG game. Darktide is an action game with very light RPG mechanics. The original tabletop games also functioned very different and drew in different crowds. Only thing these two games generally share is that they have tabletop game origins. A “Darktide killer” would have to be a game that is 4-man coop and executes the teamplay concept well. Like a new Left 4 Dead game of sorts.

so… today should be new commlink, right? right?

If only somebody could release a great, finished L4D style game without predatory monetization or player retention practices. Darktide could be that, eventually, if they actually get it into a good state that isn’t merely the bolted together scraps of better, unfinished systems. Hopefully there’s some, any, information today.

[image] ggg: so… today should be new commlink, right? right? Thursday is the normal day for comm links and this is the last thursday of the month , the month that they said the commlink would appear late in, I think someone mentioned one of the CM’s said it would be this week as well. So all together it’s a certainty it will be delayed until next month :grin:

What do I win for my stadium prediction? My crystal ball game is on point.

A Daemonette is appropriate i think

Dead Island 2 is pretty solid when it comes to scratching the gore/dismemberment itch, it’s basically “pick up and play”, has an actual story and 4 player co-op and a better variety of enemies with special skills and properties.

I can't wait for the next update, where they announce a couple bugfixes and "internal discussions"
