Darktide is kinda great
2 years ago
I bought it already expecting to refund it, but I liked it! it is indeed a very flawed gem that needs polishing, but a gem none less, I'm really hopping to see it expanded in the future with more classes,weapons ,missions and stuff, we could see more missions outside the hive in the future, I would love to see more of that blasted dead desert, or even a "chaos wastes" mode where you go even deeper in to the under hive.
What drew my attention the most was the fact you can make your own characters, but not just that, with the proper choices you don't need to be the average brain dead loyalist most 40k games force you play with! my first character is a psyker (of course I would play psyker first, space witch!), I was happily surprised to see how much she despises the imperium in her dialogues, she questions authority and the oppression of the imperium, mocks the faith of the zealous characters and even calls the emperor a CARRION! I LOVE THAT! what a fucking breath of fresh air, I'm so tired of the usual "URRRR DURRR FOR THE EMPEROR" "pUrGe tHe HerETics" "bring the heavy flamer blahblaha" both in games and essentially every single place where there's 40k fans...what a delight...not just that but some months before the game launched there was a lot of far-right worms whining because there's women and non whites in the game, I'm sure they loved the cast of npcs revealed on the launch specially the Valkyrie pilot! c:
My only complaint with the game is that I can't carry a firearm and my force staff, I love my thunder but that overpowered heavy revolver makes my cock hard, I want to have both! D8<
(edit) ok I have two complaints, I wish I could do private matches solo, I rather trust the bots than moronic players who think they can solo the demon host, then complain when they inevitably die.

Or even crazier would be a team coop where you do raids for the Dark Eldar or chaos and you can have multiple xenos/mutant species in your team.
Anything to see things from a different perspective in 40K. Humans can be cool, but they don't have aliens or monsters or demons have.
if one day I do warhammer fanart will probably be of Slaanesh!
I think Nurgle is by far the most original and disturbing, but I cant handle the rot and the maggots. XD
