can't even tell how the gameplay is since we haven't had the opportunity to even actually play past the first few minutes before the game crashed. we tried for one and a half hour and then we all refunded the game.
i liked the first vermintide though ...
really the game runs fine for me. Honestly it felt buttery smooth at launch and felt like one of hte best optimized launches for a game like this in a long time. I can recommend it at the regular 30$ price tag and at 60% off it's a steal.
Hm.. I would say you should just find new sources then, cause this game is really fun!
Granted, I have always played with friends so we did not have (non)communication issues and we could all coordinate well and progress and get better every run. This game is all about the group and playing together. (Ok, one "superhero" could come by now and then if you play with PuGs, but generally, you need to play as a team and communicate to overcome the highest difficulty level.)
It ended up as one of the game we played the most this year (for myself, it fell just a few hours short of monster hunter, which, while not the same genre, shares some similarities in how player skills and game knowledge is as (probably more) important as the gear you loot, and how every run you do, victory or success, is a chance to learn and make you a better player).
If you liked the Left 4 Dead series (just the pve part since there is no PvP in V2), with a visceral 1st person melee combat experience, I would recommend you give this game a try!
(Just remember that failure is part of the game as I've said and an opportunity to think back on what happened and how it could have been prevented/addressed and you should be fine. I've seen many "recruit" get discouraged cause they could not finish the 1st few runs they tried solo (with bots) and dismiss this game as "bad", but if you give yourself a chance to learn how to better block/dodge, spot/dispatch specials before they hit you, and use your forces to overcome your weaknesses, etc. you may be in for one of the most rewarding experience you've had in a long while! )
The game is stable, but the last patch is a little buggy and new event level "A Quiet Drink" still crashing.
There's always gonna be bug reports, devs can't account for all the shit on peoples computers, I've got mates who haven't formatted their machines in 5+ years and are full of crap and other mates who have never cleaned out cases then proceeded to pull a rugs worth of dust out there when they finally do.
I'm not saying all bugs are caused by this but lets be honest there are a lot of people, who, when it comes to computers are completely oblivious to even the most basic maintenance.
It's one of the most repetitive things I've ever played. Honestly, after 60 hours I was bored to tears with the maps and the combat and couldn't be bothered to log in anymore.
For 60 hours at the $15 or so I paid for it, I'd say that's not a bad deal. I've paid way more for far less fun, so I'm not in any way mad or disappointed, but it didn't have any longevity for me.
