DO NOT BUY Warhammer 40,000： Darktide - BROKEN GAME

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So

recently I've been playing the brand new

Warhammer Darktide, and as an avid fan of

the Warhammer franchise and action PvE

team-based co-op games in general, I just

knew I had to play this game.

Unfortunately, so far it's been rather

bland, boring, dull, and uninspired. And

might I also add, lacking in a certain

luster. So as a massive fan of Vermintide

2, I thought I'd really love this game

since it's basically the same as

Vermintide 2. But set in the 40K universe.

So if you don't know much about Warhammer,

there's basically 2 versions of Warhammer.

There's the fantasy version, which has

swords and fantasy stuff like ogres and

elves, and Vermintide 2 was fantasy and

had Skaven rat enemies as the main

enemies. And 40K is basically like a

futuristic version of Warhammer set in the

year 40,000, which has spaceships and guns

and lasers and all that kind of sci-fi

stuff. It's very dark and gothic in its

visuals. And if you haven't played

Vermintide 2, then this game is basically

the same as Left 4 Dead. So if you've

played Left 4 Dead, you'll know what this

game is all about. It's a 4-player

team-based co-op shooter, and the game

just throws hordes and hordes of enemies

at you, and you just have to mow them down

with your weapons whilst trying to stay

alive. And there's also periodic boss

battles and other set pieces during the

missions. Now I thought this game would be

really cool since I love Warhammer 40K.

Might even say I like Warhammer 40K more

than Warhammer Fantasy, but Unfortunately,

after playing this game for several hours,

I just didn't really enjoy the game as

much as I thought I would enjoy it. The

game has major performance issues. The

game just felt really choppy, laggy,

slow, and sluggish. I'm running this game

on a 17-inch Razer Blade Pro gaming laptop

with an RTX 3060, so my laptop should be

able to handle a game like this. But for

some reason, even with the settings set to

low and the ray tracing turned off, the

gameplay was just still not smooth. It was

not buttery smooth. It was very laggy,

choppy, and it just felt kind of janky in

general. It just really didn't look like a

modern game. It didn't play like one,

didn't feel like one, and because of this,

it just hampered any kind of enjoyment I

might have had in the game. I don't want

to play a game that's really choppy and

not smooth. I want it to feel really good

when I'm moving the character around and

attacking the enemies, but it just didn't

really feel very good, and I don't know

why. Also, my other problem with the game

was because it's an online game, you need

a good internet connection, and even

though I'm running my internet connection

using 4 data SIMs bonded into one super

strong connection, I kept getting

disconnected from the game. I swear I was

getting disconnected from the game every

40 seconds on a regular basis, and I have

no idea why because my internet is

completely fine. Sure, it might not be the

fastest internet in the world, but it

should have been stable. There should have

been no disconnecting problems, but I just

could not stay in the game for longer than

a minute. It kept booting me out back to

the disconnected screen, and then I had to

reconnect, rejoin, and then only be able

to play for about a minute before it

booted me out again. It was so

frustrating. Performance issues aside,

even without the problems I came up with,

the gameplay when it was working wasn't

really that special. You just run around

these very bland looking stages. They all

look so dark, grim, and gritty, but they

look very boring and unappealing visually.

At least in Vermintide you had these

really cool cityscapes and you had these

really cool sceneries and mountains and

stuff. It was kind of epic looking, like

in Lord of the Rings. But the levels in

this all just so dull and boring to look

at. They just look very run-down. It's

just like a prison cell for most most of

the time. Concrete, grays and greens and

dark grays. It's very visually

unappealing. Didn't feel very excited to

be in any of these levels. And the

gameplay is just spamming the left mouse

button over and over again, attacking

these hordes of enemies that just come at

you like a bunch of idiots. And you got

some guns. The character I chose has a

shovel, which is very boring to use. I

don't know why they give you a shovel. At

least give me something interesting like a

pickaxe maybe. And the secondary weapon is

a laser gun. And the laser gun was very

boring to play with as well. It doesn't

really shoot a lot. It just shoots like

one shot before you can shoot again,

and you just basically spam your lasers at

the enemies and kill them, and that's it

really. And then there's a boss battle.

The boss battle wasn't really challenging

in any way at all, and I just felt kind of

bored during the entire game. Didn't

really feel like I was on the edge of my

seat desperately trying to stay alive like

I did in Left 4 Dead. The atmosphere was

kind of lacking in luster. There was no

atmosphere at all like in Left For Dead,

there was this really chilling atmosphere.

The piano music was really good. It was

really creepy when you were getting

stalked by the special infected. There are

special infected in this game as well,

but they're just rip-offs and blatant

copies of the Left 4 Dead and Vermintide 2

ones. They just pin you down and trap you

in case you get separated from your team.

They can just take you out unless your

team is nearby to give you a helping hand.

I found the enemies in the game to be very

boring and bland as well. They're just

like a load of zombies, so it feels like

you're playing Left 4 Dead. But in a

Warhammer setting. So you get these kind

of weird-looking zombie homeless-looking

people, and then you also get these weird

zombie dog things, and also kind of like

these marine-looking Inquisitor Chaos

guys. And I just find these enemies to be

very boring. I wanted to see things like

Space Marines and Orks and Chaos Marines

and Tau and Imperial Guard, but instead

you just play as these Inquisition

characters which are very boring to look

at. I thought this game could have been

really great if you were, for example,

maybe just an Imperial Guard foot troop,

a foot soldier based on some base that

gets attacked by, I don't know, some kind

of horrific looking alien. I think the

enemies in Vermintide 2 were way more

interesting. I really enjoyed the red

armored Skaven elite soldiers, and it was

really creepy when you were in Vermintide

2 and you could hear that clanking when

you see a troop, a platoon of 8 of those

Vermintide elite soldiers. In those red

armor with those pointy halberds, and you

can just hear them grunting and marching

because they'd be really deadly enemies.

And that was like a really cool thing,

but I just didn't really see anything like

that in this game. So unfortunately, I

wasn't really impressed with my time with

the game. I had to refund it because I

didn't really see myself enjoying it, and

I can't really recommend people buy this

game as well. Even if you are a massive

Warhammer 40K fan like myself, I think

there's better Warhammer 40K games out

there. And I would prefer to play

Vermintide 2 over Darktide. Maybe Darktide

2 will be a good game, but the first

initial installment of Darktide hasn't

really been up to my standards, and I'm

gonna have to give this game a 6.2 out of

10. Not really very high in my ranking

system, but unfortunately that's just how

things are. Thanks for listening and

How long do I have? Where's my— oh, 1

hour. I've got 1 hour left before

I can refund. I just disconnected

again. Oh my god.

I've got a kill mission gone active down

in the torrent. Lucky you.

Why do I keep getting disconnected? Into a

private bolt hole. Ironic or what? You'll

go in through the sewers, then make your

way through the underhouse. Enjoy the

pretty side of the torrent.

The gameplay doesn't seem that fun. It's

just like hacking and slashing huge

numbers of enemies. Oh, there's a boss.

Does my grenade hurt my friends?

Until it's ended.

Running will be

impressed. I'll be sure

to tell him what you did here. Talking

I think that's the end of the mission.

It's just like Vermintide 2 but with guns.

But Vermintide 2 was good because it had

Skaven rat enemies.
