Nice to see lasguns and autoguns feel powerful. They're not suppose to be useless, just overshadowed by everything else that is overpowered in the galaxy.

[@johnthomason9980]

Exactly. People joke about lasguns basically being flashlights, but that's like, in comparison to an Astartes-pattern Bolter. Just because it wouldn't put a dent in a 8 foot tall demigod super soldier doesn't mean it won't be perfectly useful for the trillions of regular humans in the galaxy.

[@christophedlauer1443]

This is why I like that they did not go with Space Marines as the protagonists. When all you see of 40k is the exploits of Custodes, Primarchs and Primaris Marines - your missing the reference point of "baseline human"... or abhuman as the case may be. I do hope they are including bolt weapons in the darktide loadout though. Since fatshark pretty much nailed it with weapons in vermintide2 - I would expect they would get the difference between a large autogun and the visceral devestation of the bolter.

The more I see of this game, the more excited I get. I have been excited since I heard about it years ago, but these videos are really hyping me up. Not to mention their article said your character can be very customized from beginning to end, like their personality and background, which will change their banter in the game. You can also have multiple classes of the same type on a mission, unlike Vermintide that only allowed one of each class. But even those two players of the same class could be vastly different based on their backgrounds, personalities, skills, and weapon choices, which may also alter the banter ever more. You may hear some very hilarious stuff between characters in this game.

[@pjthehomelessmage]

I don’t expect this but I hope they have some krieg stuff in there.

[@weabootrash5891]

I remember them talking about how many lines of banter they recorded between all of the classes and personalities. I can't remember the exact number, but the amount of lines is like 60-75% of the total lines in all of Fallout 4. There's going to be a TON of banter and I simply cannot wait

[@redviking2086]

There is something that put me off about this game: animations feel copied from Vermintide 2. Just look how the enemy minions hit with their weapons from down, how the big enemies fall just like the shielded chaos warriors, and how the light attack of the hammer is headshot-oriented. I dont know, game looks nice and will probably buy it at some point, but you cant deny many things are copied from V2, and this doesnt feel original at 100%.

​@@pezzington9150 I've never once heard anyone say that. All the 40k literature, including the Gaunts ghost novels which are purely normal guardsmen know he sits on the golden throne. 40k lore is super disjointed since the writers never seem to collaborate properly, but the knowledge that the GE sits on the golden throne after the horus heresy is one that I've only ever read them write as common knowledge. Where did you read otherwise?

Hammer = heavy swings for crowds, light swings for single targets.

Really digging this game and love the look of the cultists. My biggest question though is if you'd be able to pause it if you played solo offline like you could in other games like Left 4 Dead 2 in case of a situation like a bathroom break or some other reason. What I mean by pausing is that the game won't continue in the background leaving your character vulnerable to attack like it would in online co-op or multi-player games. It's understandable online, but not so much if you're playing on your own offline. Edit: Should have clarified, bot teammates while solo.

[@bobnorris8520]

I remenmber from an interview that this game is much more coop heavy, its not balance for solo play in any way so i would not be surpriced if it does nto pause whem playing solo

[@tundrarunner4951]

@@bobnorris8520 Well, that stinks.

[@Red9_Channel]

That graphics of lasgun....simply beautiful

[@duxae1617]

kinda cool, weird dialogue though, its highly doubtful anyone of this low level would know what the golden throne was let alone that it was failing. I'd also like to see more emphasis on ranged combat this feels like a vermintide reskin, I guess it is what it is.

The veteran straight up mentioned the Cicatrix Maledictum (meaning this is the 42nd millennium now). To be fair, he is a veteran, and might have actually served across the galaxy. But the average hiver often doesn't know what the bloody _sun_ is, far less know about the galaxy at large. The Golden Throne, however is part of imperial religious iconography and belief. Everyone would know what it was--at least, they'd know the ecclesiarchal version of it.

WAY more chatter, I was super worried during the previous trailers the characters wouldn't be chatterboxes the whole time super excited now!

[@Acesahn]

The chatter isn't very good though... only a few memorable lines jumped out at me and they weren't that good, namely "You're scaring me!" in response to the psyker doing their thing. There's also a "BLESS THIS RAVAGED BODY!" line near the end but the voice actress delivers it without any energy so you probably missed it lol.

[@CertifiedSunset]

They were 100% playing on easy, all of the enemies died too fast.

[@godskitten49]

I noticed that more w how lasguns and bayonets to the face barely broke your temporary health/shield Do genuinely hope its harder thdn this

[@theobell2002]

Who cares? I'm here to see the game.

[@VeggeMight]

Hope they have like a hardcore rogue-like mode were you haft to use the stuff that is dropped off enemies.

[@Khalkara]

This makes me wonder, is there no blocking in Darktide or did the player not know it exists? Same with dodging.

[@CHESTNUT246]

i bet there is, we're watching a game journalist play so thats why

[@crhoades555]

They did it’s the bar under the cross hairs inthink

[@dramaticmudderer5208]

There is

[@zulupox]

There is blocking. This player doesn't know how to play

[@GamerBurgerz]

You can see them block at 8:17. In fairness I never blocked when I started out with Vermintide

[@IPEsometimes]

The music cutting in and out is fucking hilarious to me.
