- 90% of this video is gameplay, but its a special occasion where I was able to get 3 of my favorite youtubers in a single lobby with me to do a come back tour for Darktide. We ended up playing Helldivers 2 instead and I thought that game was very entertaining, at least worth posting given the special occasion.

I FORGOT THE ON SCREEN TIMESTAMP: 03:05
This video really is just a quick update on an old flame of a game and some entertaining gameplay. More tutorial stuff soon.
It's fine we all noticed that and it's cool.
There's chapters.
They'll find it.
Reginald it's me random guy again I was wondering can ya make a video about being an effective 80's action movie protagonist I'd love to see a total meme Strat but that actually works las sycle revolver napalm expandables anti tank and if you do keep it in consideration I'd be one happy fellow
This being a majority Helldivers video is a fantastic summary of where Darktide is at after its update
They squandered their own opportunities; they hired Dan Abnett to write lore for their game and didn’t even work it into a proper narrative! Just random website lore and snippets of cutscenes. They constantly bumbled things in baffling peculiar fashions.
Man, that was a good time. We should do that again. I'll try to bring the total number of words I speak down from 20 to 10 next time.
I agree, your commentary really brought down the entire vibe of the video and I'm hoping in the future you are honestly replaced with a bot.
The legendary Cashcrop_ is well known for his silent yet brutally effective combat technique.
time to change the handle to "chattycrop"
it's so sad because darktide could have had as much success as Helldivers 2 if they had just released a finished game and actually listened to their players rather than ramming their own ideas of balance down their throats.
Yeah. Nerfs, An enemy we've already seen before, and more challenges no one really cares to do because we haven't had a spec of content worth playing since before the end of last year. Plenty of cosmetics though, for whoever that matters too. (The shareholders)
Seriously though.
Not to mention these cosmetics are half-assed or recycled in the most laziest way (just swapping one string like *metalsteel→ metalgold*) with just few exceptions, where still the vast majority of 'cosmetics' are copy-paste-edit-save UI elements.
Plus like 90% of these penances are "do puzzle on this map and this difficulty", offering no rewards aside for battle pass progression, which is unrewarding itself.
This update is a PR stunt and nothing more.
yeah there is no way i reinstall for this joke of update, im going to stay in helldivers because its an actual live service that provides fun actual content like new weapons, stratagems, mission types, enemies, planets, armors and a story that evolves every day...
Its hard to argue with you when you're precisely correct.
The best part of the new update is i can finally put that big ass book on my zealots back. And I didnt even have to pay for it !
Nearly 6 months of content drought, and all we got was a puzzle to do. Whoopdee fucking doo. Thanks Fatshark.
Doesn't that just wrankle?
Darktide: M-E-H
Helldive: Y-E-H
(P.s, love you Darktide)
accurate.
I wish Darktide would let me love it 😢
pretty cool how you all know each other. all of your in depth content are awesome!
One of the "nice" things about the DT community is how small it is. Its easy to get to know a lot of the people in it. One of the downsides is how small it is.
What a game that was on Helldivers! Shame about Darktide - the faith of my ISP is not strong enough to connect me to y'all from beyond the Warp...
Oh well. More Helldivers it is!
More helldivers it is!
39:12 Is so cartoonishly funny lol
it really is though. He even complains as he goes by
It's honestly gif material, but gifs have no sounds, dangit.
I just tried the new patch in DT and the audio is completely jacked in new and interesting ways. MEH is definitely the word.
Guess we'll all be Diving for a bit longer, alas
Alas, alas. Not even new toys to play with.
Sorting out the Penances and cosmetic rewards, and crafting (next thing apparently) I think is a good idea, As they're the frustrating support systems many players want improved.
And it's there and ready when they add more substantial content with new maps etc
... but that does mean it's not yet enough for DT players checked out on content.
I agree. Its just the pace being too slow and too little content that's the problem.
As a Darktide-preferrer, that result was just brutal. But at least the Helldivers run was fun.
I wished we could have brought a full 4 man game for DT
As far as Darktide goes, I was having some pretty random server disconnects at times. Even when just in the Mourningstar lobby. Not as consistent as Ryken but still annoying.
Also the fact that a lot of the cosmetics are still recolors irks me a bit, as well as no new universal weapon skins (I think you get a blue and tan camo for 4 weapons and that's it?).
No new weapon changes is what's the main killer for me. Figuring out wth they did to DD was fun though (it involves bugs because it's Fatshark of course it does).
That helldive match was damn fun.
It really was
Not sure DT warrants such a trivial response, though I cannot wait for crafting to be fixed and a more substantial update. Darktide scratch an itch Helldivers cannot provide; I'm still enjoying both.
Telopots' take is far more useful, for anyone wanting an actual DT update.
DT's patch absolutely warrants this response. They've left us with nothing for like 4 months and then they poot out some barebones stuff that should have been there on release. I'd be mad if I hadn't given up on fatshark already. DT is wonderful as a game but its clearly being made by three very talented people. Darktide has a superior gameplay twitch experience to anything on the market but it also hasn't had meaningful updates to sink your teeth into since the class rework.
@@Reginald-sc9tk certainly the update is no warbond. The bones are good so I'm still praying for a big update.
Trivial update, Trivial response.
Disrupt Destiny didnt get nerfed, it was a huge buff
Was it? I dunno. I just heard it on the grapevine since I don't play psyker much.
I am Dorsworth in the B-roll that was great match. I despise the new new tox bomber, when the ai spawns 3 of them there is no escape from the gas they should really decrease the spread of the fumes. I just want new maps and weapons not more grinding.
Hey there! Great game we had!
My experience with gasmen was that they were almost unimportantly unimpactful. Except a few times where I kinda felt just stuck. Triplet spawns are always kinda lame, even in auric maelstrom in my view.
@Reginald-sc9tk In the 4 man we played day 1, our joke was always, "Hey look there's the new enemy! Oh we already killed him. Anyways."
Funny how Vermintide 2 gets a whole new PvP mode and a free map, meanwhile this game gets QoL options that should've been in the game since release. Just cements that Vermintide 2 is a superior game
I am Subbed to all four. Peak Content. Thanks.
It was really fun!
Step aside Snoozeshark, an Arrowhead just went through your shady business practices. Helldivers all the way.
GOTEM
I still really enjoy darktide and play it a decent amount but the updates to it hae been lackluster for sure
Helldivers has been everything I want from a shooter and live service game. It’s amazing how it doesn’t try to cheat the players time, and does so much more with comparatively little.
Its a fun game that values my input and gives me more every month to enjoy.
Darktide? Darktide, Darktide.... oh! Right that game!
Around 33:00 a beautiful thing happens. You realized you were having too much fun and forgot that there were things to grind for.
This is the essence of why Helldivers 2 is good, and other live service games are less good. They forgot to make the game fun first, and add progression and grind later.
In a few years we'll get a new map and some weapons. Look, Vermintide 2 just got an update. What about your current game, Fatshark? It's obvious the time was spent working on that instead of the "live service" of Darktide LOL. Who is managing FS it just looks silly, I can't even feel insulted as a player anymore.
Helldivers is also very fun, but I get frustrated with the jank at times. Not the fun jank, mind you, but like the BS shenanigans of the game. Random crits... one moment I tank a turret blast to the face with an energy shield, the next instance with the same situation and armor/shield it kills me. Hunters random crits nearly killing me and then later in the map not... it's a dice roll. How about bots seeing my friend across the map and then insta-180-turning to the hidden me and rocketing me in the air as I dive away. They had no idea I was there a moment ago. They gotta fix some of that.
I just realized.... why do I love these games? They abuse me so. Help me beloved, I'm sick.
Helldiver's jank is at least justifiable since they have a content pipeline and a singular death is rarely a catastrophe. Watching HD2 deliver content regularly and DT deliver gaseous heads once every aeon is brutal.
There is no such thing as random crits. Those are headshot. Your head has 0 armor value, so you will stop existing from headshot damage regardless of armor.
Also, highly recommend to look up how stealth works. The situation you described came because you mistook bot alert to aggression.
Helldivers 2 has plenty of junk, but it's not what you described
@@Reginald-sc9tk Very true. I tend to laugh it off most times. I get a little more serious about it as the reinforcement count goes down but less crashing and disconnects make me feel less salty. And yeah, I appreciate all those little (or big) events they implement to keep the game feeling fresh. Now I'm hoping for a new faction and some urban levels.
@@raven75257 I don't know if there's no such thing as crits but a lot of stuff I've seen has made me question it. Didn't know about no helmet armor so maybe some kind of server latency has me questioning what I see.
The turret example. First one was a shot to my dome and I got up and survived. The second one was to my chest and it was instant K.O.
I've survived large packs of hunters in heavy armor and many swipes with minimal damage despite them always seeming to get those head shots in other instances. This had me thinking there was some kind of crit going on. I'm regularly surrounded in huge numbers when fighting bugs (I like the flamer).
I've had friends on fire next to me in a fire tornado but the ground was clear and safe for me. I've fought 3 chargers at once after loading into a map when a friend asked what the heck I was doing (they were already dead on his screen).
Stuff like this leads me to question a lot of what happens in the game.
As for stealth, I watched the stream where the devs talked about it. It's all based on sound and visuals. They react to louder sounds (strat call-ins, certain weapons fire, explosions) and stuff they see directly.
The instance I described was me being behind them, behind a boulder and doing nothing (prone and motionless). My friend, a football field away in front of them, alerts them. They turn around instantly and fire on me.
There's some jank there. They must see all players as a connected group when they are detected, despite distance.
I based that on this: friends across the map getting chased and me quietly getting samples on the opposite side get random potshots from that specific group only despite 200+m of distance.
Also, the whole stance thing affecting how they register gunshots is silly but I use it to stealth bases (crouch/prone to take out targets 1 at a time). They notice you if you're standing when firing.
@@mr6291 It's mostly a combination of latency and specific hitboxes. This can be tested easily. Start a new game with your friend. Stand still with a hug emote, and have your friends shoot and barely miss your character's fingers. On your friends screen it will look like he's barely touching your fingers, meanwhile at your screen there will be red liquid splatter but no damage. That's why it feels so inconsistent at times.
Don't forget how attacks to different body parts also deal different damage
Plenty of people have done good research on this. Though, I would caution you to check who you're listening to, because most UA-camrs drop down to the planet, get hit for 2 minutes straight, and think that's research
