It’s incredibly sad to me, Fatshark’s very capable but they messed up really badly with Darktide and it’s been an incoherent game from day one to current day.
Rant
What’s the vision that FS has? The playable characters have no character and it took really long to establish a sort-of story narrative. What are they even doing behind the scenes? Why’d it take them TWO YEARS to change the crafting system that had near-unanimous feedback? Why does it take months to get something that should be simple, done? And for bugs reported from day one never getting fixed. I thought a big part of the reason FS was reusing “tilesets” or assets from area levels was that it’d help with production to make it easier to create more in the future but VT2’s getting more interesting and more unique levels more often than Darktide is. And that’s with Darktide’s dev team being much larger. Why does a weapon set teased in 2024 get delayed to 2026? That’s 17 months at minimum and 29 months at max. That’s INSANE.
I take psychic damage whenever I think about it.
