All Warhammer game devs try not to be based challenge (impossible)

In January 2019, Tencent acquired about a 36% stake in Fatshark in a deal worth approximately 500 million kr (around US$56 million). Later, in January 2021, it was reported that Tencent had acquired a majority stake in the company valued at around 2.2 billion sek (around US$260 million).

Dammit. Always a catch after all... ;-;

That one really stings, because Darktide is a damn good game.

I was gonna say, I love fatshark's games but unfortunately they've been pretty fucking far from based lately

I liked this game a lot when I first started playing. Now in the back half of the game its just disappointing. Desyncs, crashes, and uneven balance all over the place. It has its charms but not something I would recommend anymore. Good to see they are on the right side of this though

Second time playing through, played before Lex Arbites and picked it up again after.

Genuinely, only had 1 crash on this run, maybe 3 on the last. All happened on Qetza Temer. But the uneven balance I can agree with. I'm playing through on the difficulty above medium (whatever it's called) and now that I'm in the 4th act, sometimes they knock a party member in the first turn, sometimes my arch-militant will kick one guy down and stun him, shoot 7 more and kill 4, Heroic Action, more shooting, boss already compromised and surrounded by my melee and Cassia is making EVERYBODY whack him down.

Love it. It frustrates me. If it wasn't Warhammer, it would only be a 6.5-7/10, but it's so jam packed with lore tie ins that if you like the universe it's at least a solid 8-9 for the love they put into it and continual update/community feedback. But that's just like, my opinion, man

Not sure if this applies to you, but when it just released early on, there were difficulties between versions and save games from earlier ones didn’t play nice after updates, so I struggled to get through act 2, but then I disabled the auto update and played through it pretty much flawlessly, granted I had to start a new save file.

It hasn't been the worst on my solo play through, mostly on a group one. There are a variety of issues that are workable, like how you will frequently start combats separated unless your group has the discipline of saints, or how one character will literally never be able to join combat because the terrain is impassable for him and him alone once initiative starts. These things we dealt with, but when combined with hours of lost progress from crashes and desyncs we threw in the towel

A really good game, but god fucking dammit why does it take an hour to clear a map?

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, if someone is going to lose access to a game that I bought. It's going to be me.
