Hey folks!

Recently I've been getting into Warhammer 40,000 video games. Learning the lore and the world has been fantastic so far. And it's slowly been taking over my youtube channel.
At the start I was doing Eternal Crusade videos. But due to that game trudging along with it's progression. I wanted to take a look at Space Hulk Deathwing.
I've made a few videos for you all to enjoy and take a look at Deathwing. And I'd appreciate it if you gave me a chance and gave em a look!











I hope you like em! And tell me what videos would you like to see about the game or other titles?

Also sorry if these posts aren't allowed here. If someone could direct me to the rules related to video content I'd appreciate it! I want to respect the site as if it's your home.

well its out, and its awful, I got me a refund, very disappointed with this terrible game, it wont make it to consoles, I doubt it will make enough money

Looks like the trend of awefull 40k games continues, at least there are some constant things in the world

The BT ship is awesome! I want to see this thing in all its glory manned by serfs and crew!

Think I've watched some of your vids in the past, Zoran; as for Deathwing, it seems like quite a letdown, unfortunately. AI is questionable at best, melee is ridiculously simplistic, and actual weapon spread seems to have been replaced with fake projectile decals (see: Assault Cannon). It's saving grace is certainly in the carefully crafted environments, which you've done a good job showcasing to people who may not have bought the game yet.

Are you planning to do a review type video on Deathwing?

The AI is nonexistant other than the most basic "respond to the player commands" for allies, and "rush the player to shoot/melee them for enemies. Also, a decent amount of the time, if you're moving your allies will ignore enemies behind them to try and keep moving with you. Every enemy spawn is scripted. Most of what made similar games great (L4D) has either been not added or removed (i.e., ammo conservation, all the things the AI director controlled, somewhat random pathing), along with terminators not feeling like terminators (autoguns shred terminators worse than the 'stealers most of the time). As for the weapons, the AssCan is just a decal, and you can't even choose which weapon you attack with in melee, it's always alternating blows. UI is also fairly bad imo.

Before I refunded it, it had the same technical problems as it did during the closed tech beta, no idea if those have been fixed (crashes, menu overlays getting stuck and showing up in game, constant disconnects due to host crashing and lack of host migration, controls stopped responding)

What is great is the attention to detail in the environment as you pointed out, but sadly overall it is a bad game and a massive let down.

Update incoming!

So the update is out for testing, did a video showing it off:
