As fun as smooth runs can be, the feeling of making it out by the skin of your teeth never gets old. To me, these moments really capture the game's essence. There's no other game out there that gives you the same kind of rush! With Space Marines 2 on the horizon, do you think it has the potential to rival Darktide, or will Darktide always hold this special place in our hearts?
Both games are horde shooters, but SM2 & Darktide are fundamentally very different games from each other, in spite of their similarities. I think initially Darktides gonna dip in playercount, cause theyre both 40k games so its drawing from the same potential playerbase, but after a while i have no doubt that Darktide will only get more players, as people are drawn into the setting and, by proxy, Darktide as well.
I think Space Marine 2 will forever hold a higher player base as it seems it’s going to be a way more ambitious game, I also personally think it will be the better game. Although I love Darktide it has too many issues and has been neglected way too much for it to sustain for another 2 years imo. I’m also holding standards to Space Marine 2 similarly to how I’m holding standards for the new Doom game from everything that has been promised and shown.
@@tunics3946 there are no real issues any more. there will forever be things ppl don't like or wish to be different, and the game will continue to evolve like vt2 did. it's in a fantastic state now, it's a matter of getting a big injection of new content to draw players back and get new ones. but to be fair, there's a shit ton of content as it is. we're talking close to 20 awesome maps, 12 sub classes, shit ton weapons and most distinct, a pretty nonaggressive mtx model with lots there if you're keen on paying for it (it could use more earned cosmetics, but that's every game with this model). SM2 will be awesome i think, considering all the things they have planned for co-op and even pvp... but from what i've seen, i dont think the actual mechanical depth of the game holds a candle to DT, or tide games in general. there's a bit of focus on bombast, finishing moves and such, and that's not something you can just weave in with super tight, awesome control and mechanics the likes of a tide game. will it be awesome and epic, i think so, and hope so for sure, will it replace tide games? nothing really will, save for another tide game. will it take players away from DT? probably. but conversely, it may introduce more to the 40K melee shooter genre and introduce some to DT. here's hoping. either way, as fans of these types of games, as fans of 40K, we will eat well :)
Good points. I think what frustrates players about Darktide is mainly issues like unreliable servers and audio glitches that result in silent enemies. Until Fatshark prioritizes fixing these issues over adding new content that could potentially introduce more problems, the situation is unlikely to improve. Their marketing of the game as a live service isn't helping either. If Space Marine 2 launches as a genuinely good game without significant bugs or issues, it could definitely impact Darktide's player base.
Just recently I’ve been having darktide get a bit stale on me so I decided to force myself to use off meta weapons and do every penance for every class I play I’m completely done with psyker and only 2 left for veteran having a blast now
That's good to hear! Using the same loadout & setup over and over again can make things boring. It's a good thing that weapon-wise, everything in this game is viable. 👍

Will def give it a try, but I don't see it having the same level of mechanical depth and sweet gameplay of tide games.

This video is crazy. I didn't even know you can punch the specials like pox bursters or dogs while they dash
Thanks! Yeah it's the safest way to handle them if you're not shooting them from afar.
Growing fast man. You were 1.6 k 2 weeks ago. Keep it up my man.
Thanks so much, I appreciate it! 🙂
I just setup that witchdoctor build and holy shot is it fun
Glad you enjoy it!
