I can’t speak on the current state of Darktide as I don’t play the game but from what I’ve experienced from lurking on the side: unsatisfied. Which succinctly expresses my interactions thus far with Darktide. I’m always left wondering,“Is that it?” each time I read an update or anything news related on this game.
On a more personal note I expected so much from this company after the brilliant Vermintide games. Extra points for going full greedy and implementing an egregious cash shop.
Last time I played DT was 16th of May, after 6 months break, just to find out, that game still runs like a dog s… .
FPS ranging from 39 to 120, still having locked weapon and curio perks, still having useless talents, not having any new class (subclass) despite the fact that one was promised every 3 months, not having any new distinct maps (zones) just few new missions, on already existing maps.
And the worst part is, that instead of starting to address core issues of this fail release, they focus on xbox release instead, most likely because in game shop doesnt provide enough money, so they need to milk this broken release anew by scamming console customers.
55% well deserved, incompetent management. I would write another negative review if i could.
Shout-out to Jesper Kyd, whos OST i got with purchase of Imperial Edition, and whos OST is by far the most valuable part of DT release. Also shout-out to level designer. If there was a mode without any plebs allowing me to walk around at stable 60 fps, i probably would… that’s how sad this game’s performance is.
Also shout-out to community managers (if any) who read these forums, and have to endure all this (well deserved) anger and negativity. You are not responsible for how s… dev management of this company is.
Yeah, thanks for reminding me on that particular phrase…
The combat gameplay, yes, but to include the “loop” in its entirety (the non-combat systems still count as gameplay), then it’s like being in the middle of a human centipede. Pooping back and forth, forever.
I put 200 hours into Darktide on Launch, I preordered (what a mistake that was) and desperatley tried to convince myself that Fatshark couldn’t have dropped the ball so hard.
I gave up after slogging through hell to get ‘On Overwatch’ and just feeling empty and furious at whatever drop kick of a developer thought up the original Penance challenges.
Came back after 6 months to see barely anything has changed.
Crafting system got a slight tweak but is still flawed.
Some of the Penance challenges got a slight tweak but the system itself is still flawed.
Earnable cosmetics got slightly better but are still flawed.
All in all, the gameplay loop and combat are great, whilst everything else is broken or spitting in the face of fans who put them where they are today…so exactly the same state the game was in at launch.
But the cash shop is still releasing cosmetics for $17.15 AUD so I can see where Fatsharks priorities are.
I guess I should happy they took at least one thing from Vermintide.
I pre ordered the game, it’s like a joke
