Disregarding all of the #Lowry in-jokes, there's just so much to unpack. Then add all of the #Lowry insanity, Drunk Mandy, friendship onions and Avery in general - it's insane, I'm sad I have no one IRL to share in on the jokes and I don't even know if I could even begin to attempt to bring someone else into this mess.

    As someone who did play the original board game quite frequently, I'd say that they basically did what the Space Hulk guys tried to do by carrying some stylistic elements over into the strategy game, but BFG did it right. A lot of things (in particular the Special Orders) but also some of the maneuvers and odd mechanics like the scattering novacannon feel like a direct carryover from the tabletop. This was more obvious in the first game because of the much smaller scale and detail on each ship, but they still did a lot of mechanical decisions inspired by the tabletop.

    7:12 - the angry beehive of small ships stops rather quickly once the Necron player has a Tombship with the Lightning Arc configured for anti-small ships. This configuration halves the damage output of its primary weapons, but that halved value is fired at EVERY ship in range. So if there is a single enemy cruiser in range, then it only does half damage to that one cruiser. But if there are a dozen small ships in range, each gets hit with that halved damage value

    The crashes are an unreal engine issue, I've had it on multiple unreal engine games this year (including this one), it's a very easy fix too if you're ever experiencing crashes in unreal engine related with a message along the lines of "Win64-Shipping.exe" forgot what the exact error was, but everytime it's the 64bit exe of the game in question.
    Go to nvidia control panel, set OpenGL Rending GPU forced to your GPU on your global profile, not to auto, EVEN if you're on a PC and not a laptop, developers of 2 games (Red Solstice 2, Deep Rock Galactic) also noticed it happend each time with calls from the rendering engine that it would crash, we don't know why it works, that's literally all you have to do and your unreal engine games will never crash with that error again.
    Do note that newer games and demos are often not recognized by the nvidia control panel so you might have to create a profile and apply the forced setting there for the exe, otherwise you'll still crash.

    I love how you are literally encouraged through gameplay to go kamikaze when one of your ships' destruction is inevitable. It's not only promotes an aggressive, hold nothing back kind of gameplay, but it just fits 40K so damn well. Fanatical Imperial captains ramming full speed into the middle of an enemy fleet in the name off the God Emperor is exactly what I want out of them. And since it's 40K, this works with every faction. Maybe some less so than others, like the Eldar, but for the most part, it makes perfect sense. One small detail through gameplay that fleshes out the 40K experience. I love it.

      For the Imperium It takes decades and tons of ressources to build a simple cruiser. Many of them are centuries or even millenia old with a long and honored history. Some of them are equiped with old technologies that can't be replaced and all of them are sacred to the Mechanicus, their machine spirit being an incarnation of the Omnissiah.
      It's stated many times in the lore that the loss of a single cruiser is a tragedy for the Imperial navy, and they will go to great lenght to recover one if it has been captured. Expeditions have been launched to recover the wreck of a single battleship and whole armies and chapters will be mobilized to salvage ancient ship parts from a spacehulk.
      So yeah it's fun but it's totally not lore friendly. Exept for the orks, there you can go all kamikaze.

In all honesty, in most cases a well designed game will retain their own player base. AoE2 and Warcraft 3 are also prime examples of RTS that have literally survived decades. Though in the case of WC3 Blizzard has tried their best to actively kill it.
      If the player count is dropping to the point of extinction and players are looking for their entertainment somewhere else, that's usually a problem with the game (and/or the developer/publisher) and little more.

    There is also a mod out called Skalgrim, that severely amps up the battle scale of things. They managed to unlock adding new ships entirely, so they've been working on adding a whole lot of ships to each race as well, adding a whole lot more choice and variety.
    A lot has been changed as well, to make large fleet engagements more brutal. You generally can't just like, sit in a cloud and pew pew the enemy from afar when the screen is filling with ork ships :D.
    The only caveat, is that if you're playing as the Necron, if your system can't handle the scale of the battle and starts lagging, 75% of their firepower becomes useless, because it scatters and never hits. It looks very pretty though while it doesn't hit.
    Still, for pvp and especially for the campaign, I can recommend it, it's bunches of fun!

      It still counts as hits, just wonks out in graphical terms. And you can always slow the game down and that problem stops. But yeah, it can get laggy when you can increase the games to pretty insane sizes if you want. :) Thanks for the kind words! (/Creator of Skalgrim Mod)

      But hey, absolutely, it's been a blast, and it's more like, a goal to get a better computer and run it better, it was lagging for various reasons and I wasn't that far in yet, and I don't really wanna lower the scale, haha.

  • @T33K3SS3LCH3N
    @T33K3SS3LCH3N 4 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    I played it way too much and mostly had fun. But some parts annoyed me a lot:
    1. The campaigns are helllllaaa grindy.
    2. The AI makes some way too obvious mistakes, like Tyrannid ships regularly ramming each other to death before the battle even starts.
    3. I feel like the mechanics are a fair bit too simple. In single player there often is little to no benefit to doing anything but running around in a blob and focus firing one enemy after the other, for example because ships tend to have the same armour in all directions and because surrounding an enemy just lets them shoot more of their guns. And direct damage skills just seem way overpowered.
    4. The special campaign missions are mostly boring. Outside very few encounters with awesome unique ships, the special mechanics are all just "avoid the red AoE circle". The chaos rocks really annoyed me with how unimaginative they were - in five different battles.... (except the teleporting ones, those actually created some interesting situations).
    5. The huge background structures on some maps dwarve even the biggest battleships , which kinda ruins the sense of scale. Not sure how canon they are, but they seem overly common for their absurd scale.
    6. Singleplayer highly encourages an all big ship lineup, the only reason I could see for small vessels is scanning. There is little attachment to veteran ships from the early game. It's kind odd since the game seems to frame the ability to bring more escort ships as a bonus that you have to earn, when in reality I only want the bare minimum to have a forwards scanner.
    It may be an unfair comparison because each player only has a single ship there, but World of Warships showed how to get much more depth out of the basic mechanics. There it is all about getting to the enemy's broadside to hit the core parts of the ship or to score multiple hits in a torpedo salvo. That strongly encourages both sides to contest the flanks and therefore spread out wide rather than just move in a single blob (which would inevitably get flanked by a battleship with big guns or drown in torpedo soup from all directions), creating many more tactical situations depending on the map layout and particular ship combinations.
    Performance on the other hand was good for me, especially the short loading times into battles were very welcome after Total War. The only issue I experienced were some oddly long loading menus (especially the ship construction menu somehow takes like 10 seconds), FPS were very good on an older laptop with medium-high settings.
