Deathwing release

Did they fix the subpar gunplay? That was the biggest disappointment from the previews. That and the lack of any heft or impact from melee weapons.

>>50695916
The biggest difference is on framer ate I'm afraid.

If the game play wasn't your cup of tea, I doubt it'll be now.

I'm happy about the game wth how it is now.
Very happy that the devs proved all the shitposters wrong and fixed it in 2 weeks.

80% downloaded. I am hyped. Is it worth it, OP? Will the alien bastards pay?

It's ok

40k fans will love it, but story is average as fuck, and so is gameplay.

The best part is the feel and the ships.

Like Fire Warrior if it was actually good. A good 25$ game

>>50696298
It is to me.

It is the game I've been waiting for the last decades.

>>50696355
Compared to Space Marine, how is it gameplay wise?

>>50696352
Ye, the atmosphere that was shown in the trailers was as gothic as I wished it to be

So from what I've seen from the previews, it's a more streamlined and gothic Republic Commandos?

>>50696352
>generic L4D clone with Wolf3D-tier level-design
>25$ game

>>50696379

Comparable, very limited and repetitive.

The story and the mystery kinda drives you through the game though, and there are relics to collect.

Space Marine may be a bit more "game" but Deathwing could potentially be augmented with time, if it is successful

>>50696443

It will sell due to the 40k fans, and to date it's probably the best game in terms of capturing the grimdark feel of the 40k universe.

It's the Fire Warrior of today, but gameplay is a bit better

>30 minute beta load time reduced to 2 minutes max
Good enough for me.

The FPS is even worse somehow than the beta but otherwise it's like a 7/10. The fucking atmosphere is amazing though.

>>50698528
Yeah, now that enemies have shown up I went from about 60 fps on max to 10. And yeah, this is exactly how I would picture an Imperial ship.

If there's no Dark Age ship segment with gleaming 60s scifi corridors I will be mildly disappointed.

>>50696451
I hope not, and given on how "better" became EYE with patches is debatable. How many times do you fuckers can you buy the same game Streum makes since they formed until you realize wasn't good to begin with?

>>50696443
It doesn't really play anything like L4D though.

They did it, the absolute mad men.

Works with eyfinity, granted I just fired it up..

>>50700856
is that what your screen looks like?

it's kinda uncomfortable looking.

Anyone find any relic locations yet? I found a force rod to the north of Squad Gideon and a Bolter behind the Altar on the first level, plus a minor one in the factory floor.

>>50703453
Found a handful of other minor ones around the map, though I'm always one short of getting all of them so far.

It's garbage.

Played it during the beta, and the issues that were there then are still there now. Awful framerate, horrid connectivity issues, and the gunplay is piss poor.

Which is a real shame, because I wanted to love this game. The setting and environment building is beautiful.

Yeah, I actually felt a bit spooked at times

>>50696474
>It will sell due to the 40k fans

You'd think so but it seems like Eternal Crusade is currently dying due to lack of money and players.

I think one of my biggest... well not dislikes per say but I'd like it if you had a full five man squad. For one because it'd let you have someone with melee gear without sacrificing the Apothecary's healing or the Heavy's firepower. Or at least one extra guy to give you a bit of flexibility in loadout.


>>50704320

Its no amnesia but I have genuinely been startled by stealers a few times when they leapt around a corner at me or something. And the atmosphere is somehow even better then the Beta, with the still active servoskulls everywhere and distant bolterfire echoing through the hulk.

>>50698528
>Somehow worse than the beta

Gunplay is utter ass. Weapons spray all over the place in ridiculous cones, weapons and customization options are missing from multiplayer for no apparent reason, some people have been experiencing massive FPS drops, the game crashes frequently in multiplayer and the list goes on.

Were avengers widely used as fighter jets or is it just streum on being a bit lazy

They fixed alot of issues with performance, but the issues with multiplayer are still there. Just spent 4 hours playing with 3 other friends and we only had all 4 of us in game at the same time for maybe a half hour of that. I'm hoping its just the servers being wonky at launch.

Tfw massive frame drops when Nids start appearing in massive hordes.

Other than that I don't have many complaints about the game. Don't really like the command wheel for squad commands and the friendly AI is fucking dumb. Also the noise made by broken metal doors clanging on the ground makes it sound like a bunch of cans just fell over instead of a massive hundred pound steel door.

Really great start imo and I'm eager to see what comes from this game.

>>50704155
/v/ doesn't actually play video games.
Most anons who shit on recently released titles haven't actually played the game and just like starting arguments.

>>50695896
Boring gunplay, enemies aren't particularly smooth or threatening and they really obviously do the "run at you, awkward pause while AI shifts gears, start attacking" thing, poor dialogue.

Good environment design and sound direction I guess.

4/10, wouldn't recommend.

>>50705627
Honestly, I've noticed that Barachiel is much killier with melee weapons and his survival time shoots up a lot.

Nahrum is always gonna be an apothecary because his healing is necessary every now and again but he is one dumb fucker.

>>50705667
I keep hearing people say negative about the gunplay but honestly what else could they have done for it?

Most of the shooting is done in narrow CQC environments against meat walls of Nids. Not much you really can do to it imo.

>>50695916
It's a perfect terminator simulator, i don't know what you expected.

>>50705682
I'll have to give Bara melee a try tomorrow, he tends to get set up in the dumbest spots with his assault cannon and as a result gets ripped to shreds.


Also mod to replace combat dialogue with DOW2 Terminator lines when?

>>50698528
Yeah, i literally can't finish the first map because fps becomes frames per minute in some parts on my gtx 1060

>>50704950
>weapons spray
Protip: Burst or singleshoot unless in near melee range
Gamers these days

I spent 20-30 minutes exploring the first campaign mission and ogling all the little things.

Then the genestealers showed up and my game just freezes up for minutes on end. Sometimes it fixes itself, sometimes I have to quit out and restart the game. Still haven't made it to the generator room in 40 minutes now.

>>50707091
Lower the graphics then. A gorillion Genestealers will bend most graphic-cards over.

What I'm getting from this is that the game has some major framerate issues involving hordes, which sounds like something to wait a couple of days or maybe a week to see if it gets patched before buying.

>>50705915
They're used to cod, where you can just make autoaim do all the work and keep holding tje trigger with no recoil whatsoever

>>50707120
Well that's the problem, it was maybe 2-4 genestealers (though there were probably a lot offscreen too).

>>50707120
>Not only do the vile xenos try to kill you
>They try to kill your computer too
>No computer means no termies to stop them

That's the real Hive Mind plan

It's good they added the Fallen and chapter secrets into the game story.

It would have been hard to justify the Dark Angel presence in the game otherwise.

>>50709569
>It would have been hard to justify the Dark Angel presence in the game otherwise.
what

When it comes to space hulk you have two options. Blood Angels and Death Wing. Both have been doing this song and dance since the 80's.

A space hulk game WITHOUT blood angels or death wing featured prominently would be the outlier.

Game runs like shit, and that's even with the models having about 3 frames of animation at any distance more than a couple of meters.

>>50707546

To be fair these are supposed to be massive armoured suits designed to carry heavy weapons in one hand and and use them effectively.

Sure while walking an assault cannon should spray pretty badly, but if firmly planted it should be like a fucking tripod MG.

Man, there are an awful lot of dead techpriests on this hulk.

>>50705758
Have you considered turning the graphics down? I have to run it with everything on low with a couple things on medium and it still looks good

>>50710453

I imagine there would be a lot of techpriests on Imperial ships in general.

Also:
>Found AdMech log in the second level
>Maintenance log for the engines
>Prayers include Ode to Plasma and prayer to Saint Crankshaft

Gotta love the AdMech.

>>50710952

Well its more there's a whole bunch of dead tech priests, some servitors, and not a whole lot of the rest of the crew thus far.

>>50711060

Aren't the Hybrids what remains of the crew?

>>50705554

>>50705915
This literally doesn't do anything if you're using an assault cannon. The cone they spray in is so large and random you can't hit anything more than a few yards away even if stationary and aiming.

Game runs great for me with no issues. That being said others are having major issues. Teammates are unable to see the mission objectives every mission i've played.

Levels look amazing as is the atmosphere. To me though thats it, as a game its not particularly interesting or nothing i haven't played before. Not a fan of the zoom, illuminating all enemies, it looks somehow cheap, i liked the lighting effect of the guns but after an hour it really started to grate on me and i found it to be head ache inducing. Not a fan of the leveling up in multiplayer, seems odd going through missions with the same squad of guys and forgetting your moves between missions. Variety of weapons is also pretty lacking and to me the weapons just didnt feel very good except the plasma cannon. I dunno, cant really place it but shooting the genestealers just didnt feel very impactful. I think after playing killing floor 2 it was just done better blasting enemies into various bits. Storm bolter seemed to auto aim too? Couldnt find a flamer anywhere. I loved eye cybermancy but i refunded this

How is the board game? I'm thinking of getting it cause I need an excuse to paint Genestealers without starting a new army and I can play something with my friends that isn't fucking Cards Against Humanity.

Single player is pretty fun except for termie AI being kinda derpy and not reactive to genestealers unless they're getting hit by them.

Multiplayer doesn't work. There's only one server I seem to ever connect to and it seems only chapter 1 works, sometimes chapter 2. I once joined a chapter 7 game but was disconnected almost immediately. If I try joining chapter 2+ games I get a Fatal Error and game closes.

I would wait for some fixes before purchasing.

>>50713941
Flamer is only in single player at the moment because apparently they couldn't figure out how to balance in it multiplayer.

>>50713954
>How is the board game?
it's amazing

If your friends don't love space hulk, dump them off the interstate bridge and find new friends.

>>50714964
Understandable, seeing what an absolute rape cannon it is in the Singleplayer.
It's only limiting factors are it's minuscule range and lack of armor penetration.

>>50711433
>Avengers are noncanon FW,

Nigga they're still canon, they're just Ground-Attack fighters rather than space fighters. They're mentioned in many BL Guard books (at least in passing) and there's never been anything to retcon their existence.

I have both my battle brothers as assualt terminators. They are more survivable and are better at killing nids.

>>50704419
>still active servoskulls everywhere
I've almost shot those fucks a few times. They look like genestealer eyes at a distance.

>>50709602

don't the Grey Knights do it sometimes, especially when Daemons are involved?

>>50716785
I'd imagine that GKs would only get involved if their prognosticators said the hulk would cause a daemonic infestation on an Imperial world or something. They're spread too thin across the galaxy fighting in-progress daemonic assaults to waste time raiding a hulk, unless absolutely necessary.

>>50713528
wait, there's FUCKING LICTORS?

>>50716857

That makes sense, I was only saying since I know that they've done it a few times. Less than 10 missions total if my memory serves.

>>50716858
Nonono they're just different strains of Genestealers. There's a large one with scything talons, an invisible one (fuck those things) and a bulkier, kinda-carnifex looking motherfucker. And the Broodlord of course.

>>50716785
all chapters can do it but the vanilla space hulk board game was blood angels and the expansion that was the first appearance of the deathwing was called "deathwing"

fucking dense newfags.

The Imperial Guard will sing songs about me after this discovery.

It's absolutely beautiful. The models are gorgeous, the maps are huge and characterful, and it's clear the devs are real fans. The AI is Piss poor, and it really drags on gameplay. I could understand the swarm ai being bad. Hell it might be charming to see one or two stealers derping out in a fight, but when the allies decide to stand BEHIND THE DOOR I'm trying to seal when there's clearly a horde just seconds away, it is aggravating. Also, the pathing during horde events is lazy and easy to bottleneck. 6/10

>>50716858
No, but Ymgarl genestealers (Lictor faces) get involved and there's a Ymgarl patriarch.

But if you stop and think aboit it for a second, Humanity must have been severely retarded to need a data bank to store how to build a goddamn folding bed.

>>50718759
It's because the Emperor is plural, His might does not confine to the singular.

Love the art design, and the atmosphere, but I feel the game has taken the wrong parts of Space Hulk for its inspiration. A lot of trudging around corridors, opening and closing doors, and shooting critters with a limited arsenal, but little of that pant-shitting terror of ultra-deadly Genestealers jumping from the shadows and murdering your squad. It's mostly just cannon fodder enemies. And pumping up the difficulty doesn't really help as it just ups the enemy hitpoints which make the weapons feel less useful.

The story is also a bland hunt-the-artifact potboiler. Not that I expected a riveting narrative.

I'll finish it for sure, and there is a lot to like in this game. But I am getting kind of bored with it. A shame.

>>50723603
Have you tried playing on max difficulty?

>>50723634
Yes, but like I said, it just ups the enemy hitpoints and their deadliness.

But I am hopeful someone might eventually mod in a "true" Space Hulk experience. Both sides being extremely deadly, and the game turning into more area denial, tactics, and sheer horror than just hosing down Tyranid waves.

Now it's just kind of an okay corridor shooter, albeit in a great setting with a fantastic art direction.

Also, I'm only talking about single player. It's probably much more fun in multiplayer, but I haven't touched that yet.

So I shouldn't even bother getting Deathwing if I have a GTX960? I would be okay with lowering settings to medium or lower and turning off unnecessary graphics options.

Enjoying the game as a whole quite a lot. Didn't have any serious connectivity problems with my friends yet, but we still disn't manage to complete the first level in over an hour because we've had that bug that prevents you from doing anything every single time we played the mission and couldn't finish because the remaining 2 of us couldn't do it alone.

They really need to fix shit like that and it should have been out pre-release since it was known since beta and is pretty gamebreaking. Fun game otherwise, though.

>>50723738
I have a 770 and I'm playing fine with medium settings

>>50717804
Damn, Streumon, that's... that's perfect.

I played it for couple hours.
1. There is weird AMD cpu bug with sound that kils framerate
2. You have to play without a sound
3. I have higher than recomended hardwere for medium setings, If I play on ALL-LOW I can get decent results but ships looks ugly as hell.
Seting textures to med-high, kills any FPS gains form other setings.
4. Its still a clusterfuck with kinda spongy enemies, sometimes gene die to 2-3 shots, sometimes takes 8-10.
5. Ally AI is over the place, I ordered them to move to position, they did, that they followed me like nothing happened. I wish I could order one of them at a time.

I wonder If geting more RAM memory will get me some results or its more CPU/GPU thing that I lack. I dont mind playing on lower but ships in Med-High look amazing.
