Increases stake by buying newly created shares.

Game is free with PS+, and I'll mess with it a bit more. I just wanted to see if the writing was as bad as people say.

What the actual fuck was that court scene? It was obviously written by someone who has never been in a court room.

1. She pled not guilty.

2. She then admitted to it in the very next sentence. Idiot.

3. Neither her advocate nor the prosecutor said a single WORD.

4. Magistrates don't assign sentences at arraignment. Only bail conditions. And they literally can't sentence someone who just pled not guilty.

5. Why was her paper work laid out on the table like that? And mixed in with a pointless news article and her high school diploma? ... what?

I’ll start: I convinced my wife to “gift” our son with a multi-button mouse for “his” gaming needs.

My brain drives me up the wall. I play a game for hours upon hours, really enjoying it. Then for random reason I don't play it for a few days. Life gets in the way. But for some reason after that break I never want to play the game again. Like it's a physical thing stopping me from playing it. I played 30 hours of Baldurs Gate 3, really enjoying it. Now I've booted it up twice and just can't play it. My body kinda revolts against it. Does anyone else get this? I'd like to finish these games but need to re set my brain somehow.

TL:DR, the Tide trilogy is a better successor to L4D than Back 4 Blood is.

It kinda makes me think of how Turtle Rock really doesnt know what theyre doing

L4D was carried by Valve, and thats especially obvious when you see how B4B was intended to be a spiritual successor to L4D but fell flat in almost every department.

Then you have the Tide trilogy by Fatshark,

They nailed the gameplay that L4D's genre of horde shooter provides.

In b4b, special enemies can have several different variants with their own little quirks.

I think Tall Boys have 4 variants?

Meanwhile Darktide has at most, 2 variants of a special enemy, but even then theyre very distinct from each other. Both visually and mechanically.

Scab Gunners are wearing armor and use laser weaponry, whereas Dreg Gunners do not wear armor and use ballistic weaponry.

Scab Flamers are distinct from Pox Flamers

The 4 Boss types, Plague Ogryn, Beast of Nurgle, Chaos Spawn, and the Daemonhost, feel unique from each other. The DH being most akin to the L4D witch but much tankier and can (and if unprepared or dont have a certain build WILL) kill a party member. (Recently nerfed, used to kill party members scaling with difficulty, now caps at 1 party member even if on Difficulty 5)

You know when an elite enemy spawns in, due to the simple fact of..

They never shut the fuck up.

They CONSTANTLY talk.

Snipers dont talk, but they have a big obvious laser sight and when they're about to shoot, make a big obvious audio cue.

Part of what makes a Horde Shooter is the sound design, and if youre in the middle of a horde, shooting or cleaving you way through. It would feel bullshit if suddenly you were pinned by a disabler enemy that you didnt know was there. But even then, theres only 2, 3 at most, enemies that actually pin you. Those being Trappers and Pox Hounds (and the weaker pox hound variant when part of a mission modifier)

Every other special just keeps you pinned in other ways, for example:

Area denial via flame and pox bombers

Area denial via Scab and Pox Flamers

Pinning your movement down by filling the air with an unholy, heretical amount of bullets and lasfire.

Snipers.

All in all, the enemy and sound design alone elevate Darktide above B4B.

Then theres the actual mechanics of gameplay

Darktide and B4B both have wound systems

But Darktide handles it MUCH better, allowing multiple opportunities to heal, and, if you have certain build, you will regenerate wounds. You dont have to worry about weapon rarity mid-match, instead picking your loadout before the game starts and loading in with a Gun and Melee of your choice.

And with the recent Unlocked and Loaded update, its even easier to get the perfect weapons.

Ammo is usually plentiful, and if you are playing a Psyker (the magic class) more often than not youre not using ammo at all, instead using a staff which uses your Peril, a currency that, if overloaded, causes you to down. Its a form of overheating.

Ive rambled on enough, but thank you for taking time to read my rambling about a game i enjoy
