Space Hulk Deathwing - Worthabuy?

[@SirJamesDTech]

Everyone has to admit - that Unreal 4 engine is absolutely gorgeous when combined with competent art direction.

[@tehf00n]

You should see some of the blueprints I have. Sometimes the art covers up bad programming or game design. This game looks like it would give me a headache from all the muzzle flash but aside from that, it's beautiful. I can't wait to fire it up in 4K and see what screenshots look like with a bit of post-processing. Bet you can get them pretty close to the White Dwarf standards.

Sargon, what's up man!

that project will need an actual necromancer to revive haha....dont bully pls sargoy

When you realize that you have a beard, paint miniatures, are wearing a marvel t-shirt, and have a girlfriend with blue hair... Feels bad man...

[@cemoguz2786]

I don't see what is wrong with it. I have non but I would like to have.

[@MeesterGgaming]

i dyed my girlfriends hair blue now i only have my marvel t-shirt. Maybe it was because i dyed her hair when she was asleep feels batman.

[@davefekete7187]

@@cemoguz2786 lol then you probably voted for Biden because of how clueless you are.

[@davefekete7187]

Yeah, if I were you I’d change my life in a heartbeat!

[@user-ll3gt8jj3c]

Hey Mack, Just wanna say I hope things are a bit easier for you in the future. All the best for the festive season and I hope next year is nothing but rise after rise. As always, thank you for the great reviews, integrity and honesty.

[@stash.]

UEVR compatible, this game will see alot of new purchases in 2024-2025

[@MBMephisto]

wait, what? :O

[@ImperialTorches]

Great review, but I have one little nit pick. At 3:29 you said Apothecary when you meant the Librarian, the Apothecary is the healer...

[@WorthABuyreviews]

Yeah someone already slapped my wrist about that but tbh it's great as it proves I did not paint miniatures on a Saturday morning with a beard so long you could hide a walrus inside it.

[@ImperialTorches]

Well jokes on you I don't have a beard! :P

[@Peter-by3ox]

I reported Mack to the Inquisition for his Heretical slander

[@AdKThomas]

Saw you live stream this and based on how much fun you were having, I bought it. No performance issues, no crashes, really enjoying it. Spot on review!

[@jackh7138]

Loving that you're taking a closer look at the options menu recently (i.e. past few months). Keep it up Mack!

[@PuppetDungeon]

Glad to have you back! As someone who grew up playing the game as a teen, this is exactly what I saw in my brain when I played. I've been sitting on my preorder waiting to hear the feedback, but all I see when I look at this game is awesome. Glad to hear you're enjoying it Mack.

[@jxk46]

Really love the amount of people who don't know what war hammer is and complain about shit in this they don't understand.

[@Sjel]

This does look awesome.

[@tehf00n]

This looks amazing, been waiting for it's release for a while. However, my only gripe with it, and it's not a criticism because it's the style, is that the storm bolter and auto cannon muzzle flash is epilepsy inducing even when you dont have it.

[@nuffinmuffin3678]

Mac, another brilliant and honest review. Just wishing you all the best with your "new life". It's great to hear that you are happy now and you can focus on what you want to do and what makes you happy. Wish I could support you a bit more than just buying games through your greenmangaming link as I have done a few times. Unfortunately I am a university student and I am honestly close to hunting rabbits to feed myself. Luckily down here in Cornwall there are an abundance of them. :) Wishing you all the best. Merry Christmas mate.

[@zebes2694]

Mack took some time off to recover from that wingsuit accident, a really steep fall

[@VasilisFouk]

I have to agree with Mack 110% on this. Everything he says is true. Even the illogical amount of people downrating the game. Not to mention the fact that people had reviews up on Steam literally MINUTES after the game released. So they went there and decided that they will downrate the game anyway. I have lost faith in the gaming community for years now so this doesn't bother me so much other than the thought of people refunding or not even buying the game because some random internet guy downrated it after playing 20 minutes. I want these devs to get the resources to expand on this game but the COMPLETELY toxic community that have flocked around this game makes it difficult to convince other people to buy and enjoy this. What they did wrong is not communicate enough that this game and Space Hulk in general has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with Vermintide. I see so many people getting into Space Hulk trying to find a Vermintide vibe where there should be none. They clearly botched on that marketing factor. Space Hulk has nothing to do with Vermintide and that's all right, that's what makes a proper Space Hulk game. I know not everyone knows about Space Hulk fluff and this should have been communicated better from the devs so that people knew what game they were getting. All in all, after a few bug fixing patches this game will be golden. I'm one of those lucky people who didn't have ANY bugs so I hope they can fix those fast and let more people enjoy the game.

[@arthurwong9017]

Sweet! I was about to request for the Deathwing WAB and its like you read my mind. Welcome back Mack!

[@Theicemonkeyjr]

Very happy and surprised to hear your positive review of this, definitely going to pick it up to support the devs.

[@ernestsimons8483]

Welcome back Mack. Good review again.

[@yesjo1456]

I just watched your dreadnought wortha)buytry) and im now playing it with a bunch of friends!

[@Garycarlyle]

Made me miss Space Crusade boardgame this video. Was the bomb back in 95' when I was 15. :)

[@palerocty]

Nice review Mac! I love Space Hulk Board game too. I play since 3rd Edition, and it is a all time classic. Keep up the good work mate. I love you!

[@jayeechapman2100]

awesome cant wait to play it on xb1. took me 15 years to buy a copy of space hulk the board game since seeing it back in high school. Huge potential hope the developers offer a custom snapmap style editor where you could make missions and maps just like with the board game able to design your own maps with the puzzle piece style board design. Even go as far as a random mission generator could be amazing if the devs are serious about beig passionate about it which this time it may appear that way...

[@fillybuster]

Thanks Mac always go to u first when im thinking of getting a game

[@77Arcturus]

Resubscribed for going against the grain and for The Bell being so gentle and harmonious with golden sweet kisses of audio bliss. Happy Holidays!

[@SpearDusk]

Kind of reminds me of Republic Commando

[@zduogaminghd4656]

"SPACE HULK DEATHWING!..... IS IT WORTH A BUY?! IS ITTTTTTT?!?! IS ITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!?????" xDDD Love it when he does the intro like that ahaha (I know he didnt here)

[@CropperTV]

386 with dos 6.0... damn mack I had a 286 with dos 7.0 and a disc collection any geek would be proud of, with coloured stickers

[@heroclixer]

I agree. I love this game.

[@solotopp]

I was waiting for this review from you. Thanks!

[@redpepperdave]

Man that intro always brightens my day, let's read the words, the words, the words.....

[@hiddenemperor653]

I find it increasingly annoying that people with a potato PC that keeps crying year after year when they buy new games but never upgrade their potato from 1998....... Expectations?!

[@noquarterdesign]

Thanks for the quick review for those of us considering this one!

[@aapeliholtta1197]

Mack, it's not a cover based shooter. Of course people are going to dislike it.

[@halsaufschneider1446]

Or maybe, the game is utter shit? And its dead on top!

[@nhirach]

Good to have you back Mack :)

[@stevebamford4339]

hi mack, do you always play your games at 1080p and is that with the gtx 1070?.. maybe this is why you've not been experiencing the frame rate issues that people have been bitching about mate

[@WorthABuyreviews]

Yeah I love 1080p am a dinosaur

[@stevebamford4339]

Worth A Buy lol fair enough mate

[@tonyisdeformed]

I am running a 980 ti and ran on 1440p in the alpha and beta with no stutter. It seems that a lot of the complaints are coming from co-op and the host crashing.

[@Dregomz02]

i have heavy oced gtx 1060 and playing on 1080p and have drops to 20-45 all the fucking time, and gpu isn't a problem but CPU, game is heavy CPU bound my i5 2500k 4.3ghz is just not enough to play

[@thraciantendency1255]

Maybe people should stop trying to play at meme resolutions their hardware doesn't support properly then?

[@invinciblereason1618]

I fkn knew it would be a thumbs up, great vid mack.

[@kins888]

Cheers Mac - I just purchased the enhanced edition on Steam with a voucher for 80% off. Worth a try :)

[@physicalzeppelin2326]

1:10 you have your bell Mack, you have your bell

[@IRMentat]

you are the second KZbin gamer that I like that has approved this one. It's weird, the concept is one I love but there's something about it that screams caution to me even separate from the reported performance issues. One of those games that I think needs a demo version or promotion weekend.

[@ZephKin]

Reminds me of SWRepublic Commando with the squad and hive assualt thing; the atmosphere in that was great.

[@Rj.88]

Good man, I knew you'd come good on this :)

[@Se05239]

I left a negative review on the game because of my below 10 fps on lowest settings I experienced in some rooms and in fights. Fun thing is that during the beta, I rarely went down to 20 fps on highest settings. Something happened and it was not "optimization".

[@alexa1591]

Ever figure out whether you can use the sceptre of power?

[@JudgeLazar]

The stuttering and crashing is mostly on AMD processors. I was having a lot of problems. Unfortunately my friend backed out and refunded even though it ran fine for him, he said he just didn't like the feel of it, so I did as well. Will probably rebuy at a later date.

[@UncleSimbrave]

Good to see you back Mack~~~!

[@Probotector_AUT]

I wish I had your PC Mac. I can't get it to run properly on i7-4770k and GTX980. It is a shame because I do think the combat is satisfying. Btw. FoV can be set manually in the config files , which are located in the AppData folder for some reason.

[@Tclans]

#corrections. Totalbuscuit does like this game, though he had problems with the optimization.

[@Wynx64]

Tclans funny thing is that he got optimisation issues with every games he is playing. Totalbiscut got no credibility for me.

[@Tclans]

Wynx64, Interesting sitenote non the less. Weather or not that may be true, when you look at the guys specs one could ague both ways. Too much crazy stuff under the hood, which games don't use correctly. Or, has the latest and greatest so why would that machine struggle with a game. But that's not the point, he liked it on the contrary of this review.

[@Marcoffs83]

I remember that game you mentioned from the 80's...it was remarkable.

[@Supreme-Emperor-Mittens]

THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HATING THIS GAME ON STEAM ARE NOT WARHAMMER FANS TO BEGIN WITH. They most likely mistook this game for DOOM !!! lol

[@Supreme-Emperor-Mittens]

SILENCE - YOU LOWLY COMMONER !!!

[@jamessalvatore7054]

The emprah deserves a game that doesn't have a migraine causing lens flare, clunky combat, restricted loadout ( for a highly decorated librarian who JUST departs from his battle barge I might add... think about it. DId the arsenal run out of weapons? ... List goes on.

[@TheWayoftheSith]

+James Salvatore Go ahead, what else? Because the first two points are non-sense, its not clunky and you can disable everything. Issues with COOP and performance is the source of the negative reviews, no need to make shit up.

[@jamessalvatore7054]

TheUnbeholden Im not making anything up. I played it yesterday and I experienced it to be very clunky, having very annoying lens flare whenever using the guns, the recoil is all over the place, the sprint limit in terminator armor is retarded and unrealistic in regard to 40k lore. The fact that your terminator armoar is also so squishy and taking serious damage from small arms fire is utterly ridiculous as well in regard to 40k lore. There are a few more reasons. Not to mention the fact that the relics you find you can't even use. You just find em, have a bit of text, thats it. Your squad mates dont react to it, nor does Belial. Its quite lackluster if you ask me. So yes. Im not having performance issues. MY problem is with the game itself. Your comment is hypocritical because you're being just as subjective as I am in forming an opinion about this as I am. If you like it good for you. Enjoy it. I however did not. My impression is as listed above.

[@RetrovexOfficial]

Said overly triggered kiddo

[@sifrimh]

you are a great game reviewer, better than total biscuit imo. you are a gem of the gaming community. kuddos to you o7

[@frappewarrior9915]

actually you can play the campaign coop just without the cutscenes. the host has hte ability to set it up in the lobby

[@Mad_Max_RW]

Mack, did you ever figure out how to equip the ring?

[@Huwey]

Awesome Video Mack!

[@ParadiseDecay]

Mack your a KZbin celebrity now, women will be throwing themselves at you! Keep your chin up and keep up the great content! Also...... Total Biscuit played the game prior to the new 'Performance' patch and as a 'Steam Curator' myself I gave this a thumbs up and a positive review!

[@TheWayoftheSith]

If Mack doesn't get 3 panties in the mail after this review then the world has not done its duty for humanity.

[@ParadiseDecay]

TheUnbeholden just hope they are not male pants... hehe.

[@TrollMcSwaggin]

i do like this game , but you know the terminator armor does feel , you know... quite lighter than expected

[@Brandon-ig7vy]

I know you're not really a WH40K type of guy but...3:30 apothecary is the healer and the librarian is the magic man

[@rezzybeans]

Every 40k related video of Macks I watch I end up buying another model and asking my wife if she wants her hair blue... lol

[@xXE4GLEyEXx]

it feels like the strategy game... on drugs :D loving it big time, and thankfully managed to fix my technical difficulties thus far :) Great game, I admit it could have used a bit more polishing time, but dayum it is immersive and FUN! :)

[@neosytheneo4207]

Game looks and feels awesome. But let me ask you a question Mac - did you ever die in this game? And if so, how many times?

[@thealgerian3285]

Performances are fine on your systems, that's nice. But have you even tried it in coop mode? Cause mine went down as far as 14fps at some point.

[@danyo8512]

Good to have to yah back mac! did i actually not hear the bell once!? haha, is it still allive? Hope youve settled into you new place okay! take care :)

[@PenguinDT]

I'm really liking what I see with this. Sadly my PC can't handle modern FPS games so I'll have to wait for the console version, but yeah, looks good.

[@TheSynrgy1987]

you could always sell your console and upgrade your PC :D

[@Eclecticsignal]

I'm enjoying this game but had no end of crashes

[@660adv]

what monitor and res are you running mack

[@WorthABuyreviews]

1080p IIyama prolite something or other

[@Gruntvc]

Question, this game does not have pay to win microtransactions or loot boxes? I'm thinking of getting the PS4 version later this year. If it does not have them, then it is truly worth a buy....

[@nafsiammara]

The sound design has been universally panned.

[@jos9072]

Thumb up for Space Hulk:) That is why we love Worth A Buy

[@jamesplusfive7095]

I agree mac. I'm only an hour in and it's good. you're not a sell out. No prob's so far windows 10 GTX 970

[@goobydntfear]

does the singleplayer have a narrative? a cohesive story? or at least the chapters in itself? if not its just playing Left 4 Dead by myself, failing as a SP game, does the MP have a progression system that unlocks loot and skills for me to keep between playthroughs like vermintide? if not it fails as a MP game too.

[@SkywarpGreer]

mac do u run ur games in 1440 or 1080

[@WorthABuyreviews]

1080

[@cornytheman]

Why do you distroy over enable the hacking things? :) thanks for the answer

[@WorthABuyreviews]

I don't usually but in some situations I don't take chances, I have had a few near misses with guns coming online so if I know am not going to hack it I destroy it.

lol i cant even finish the tutorial i am stuck at the spygate think i press "B" on my controller to shoot lighting but i try every bottom there is none for spygate i check in option its in grey i cant see shit the game is broken

[@adamp5538]

thank you mate

[@sayftyman27]

Im guessing this game is very cpu intensive, thats why it ran well on both of your systems cause they both have i7's

[@WorthABuyreviews]

I was thinking exactly the same.

[@ashdoglsu]

Is it worth $10 for the enhanced edition ?

[@hellonearth6411]

Great review Mack as always😁 Are there any Bosses!🤔

[@Mahbu]

You mentioned "at this price" but it's, like, $33 on steam. That ain't bad when they could've hit us with the ol' 59.99/60.00.

[@streetwisehercules9956]

Mahbu it’s not worth full price

[@williamarthurfenton1496]

I think this is one where the source material forces limited scope. I think it's better to stay true to it, and then price the game accordingly. It ain't worth full price, but it's good for about £20 or so.

[@bugfighter5949]

You mentioned TB, now I'm sad :c

[@torhagen]

is leveling persistent ?

[@korbeskorner]

Holy Crap! haven't heard Space Hulk since Sega Saturn! is it like that game? that was fun....kinda

[@Dynamitethedrummer]

omg that flame effect

[@bycandlelight2957]

I'll likely pick this one up after a few patches have gone out, just incase. I recently updated my hardware and I wanna move up to 1440p next month and it seems like this is what's causing a large amount of frame-rate problems judging from the comments. Thumbs up though, since I normally just skim steam before watching reviews I thought that maybe it was another case of a developer giving their meh game a warhammer paintjob and hoping that'll break even.

[@afox5319]

By Candlelight 1440p 144hz is the way to go.

[@slimburg1]

mack can you play this game co-op splitscreen?

[@CassusBeli]

The lack of full campaign coop Is ridiculous.

but you still got old meg right? at least for £50

[@budthecyborg4575]

I've read a few Steam reviews and it sounds like a lot of stuff changes between single player and multiplayer co-op. That plus performance complaints is what's hurting the average score.

[@damoan4847]

Yeah had a great day, playing this then doing the edit, it's great to be back, am about to have a shower and chill with the latest X-Men movie stretched out with the sofa all to myself and a nice bar of Dairy Milk Wholenut (family size) and a mug of Tea ;)

[@littlepowz]

Damn I bought this game to play coop with my friends, shame about the coop not being too great
