You convince me. I'm gonna check out Vermintide 2 some day. (I just beat the 3 acts in Vermentide 1 some day ago).

Banger review

The one beef i have with Vermintide is how enemy armour works. You are more or less forced to equip armour-piercing weapons, since fast hits on armoured enemies will simply bounce off otherwise. Having to use charged strikes five times in a row on the same target is a liability for your survival. That mechanic overall makes it feel like you should restrict your arsenal to armour-piercing only or overuse range weapons. I'm glad Darktide has addressed this and heavy strikes are more of a crowd control move.

6:58 when i started playing vermintide 1, i picked hard mode at the get go with kruber and his starting greathammer, since there wasnt really any players playing this game anymore i finished the first mission solo with dumb ai companions and starting gear after 3 attempts and it was very fun. As a veteran of vermintide 2 i think making the harder difficulty already accessible is actually a good decision for people who are already used to playing the second game and for the other noobies who just wanted to learn quickly about the mechanics of the game. When i started vermintide 2 on the easier difficulties, it was very boring so its a W for Vermintide 1's part to have hard mode already available for masochists such as myself.

I like both an i do miss few missing thing V1 had that didn't return in V2. man i miss few missions so much like Man the Ramparts and Wizard tower (or that one DLC map where you have ship fight where rat are boarding you). Also V1 imo was a "l4d3" but more focused on melee. of course until V2 came out and that felt more like l4d3 (V1 now is more as love letter to l4d2)

bro you need a new mic

New sub here trying to get into Warhammer but it's so complicated to understand all the lore between Warhammer and Warhammer 40k

The must uncontroversial title & review of ALL time.

On certain technical aspects maybe, the vibe and atmosphere of the 1st game were more Warhammer Fantasy(Hopeless beautiful rich fantasy setting but bleak af since there's always mass violence and death, characters are aware of where they at) than Vermintide 2 which is very 'End Times' nonsense where everyone thinks they're the main character, like all the heroes suddenly behaving like narcissistic teenagers(Kerillian was arrogant but enigmatic in VT1, she didn't even qualify back then, now she's just an annoying brat like the rest of the squad with their absurdly Marvel Superhero cocky and out of place bravado) Vermintide 1 felt like a hopeless world full of mystique, a true Warhammer fantasy vibe piece, Vermintide 2 is just way too End Times(Bad writting that tried to justify AOS birth, nothing wrong with AOS, just... The End Times)

Transition slides are insane. Love them

V1 is better

The vt1 copium in this comment section lol

The video quality kind of took me by surprise, I'm glad my my rat-men infested feed brought your channel to my attention, keep it up!

I thought I was the only one who thought this guy was hilarious. The 'rewards will be lavish indeed' lmaoo. He gives you something like a spear or something he found off the ground.

Grail knight

i miss arrows not glueing skaven to the walls and i miss some of the range and melee perks/sockets that made range more fun as well.

1:00 I wholeheartedly disagree. Good weapons being scarce in Vermintide I is what made the game better. When you actually got one, it felt really special. In Vermintide 2, it is the opposite. You are flooded with items. And when it is easy to obtain, it loses its value. 1:20 You can win in Nightmare difficulty using white weapons, it is not a question of loot. Dodge and block, and you now have 90% better chances. 8:00 Weapons in Vermintide I had exact damage parameters, so you could always predict how much hits to kill you would need. Vermintide 2s byzantine game damage mechanics are a big step down. Also, don't use the repeater pistol, it sucks. 10:00 Sound is worse; there are less voice lines (for example, in V1 characters mock each other when they get grabbed) and the weapons sounds when hitting flesh are less meaty. I can understand this last part being a personal preference, though. 12:00 Not just city streets and sewers, there is also a magical tower, a farm map, a forest map. But yeah, Vermintide 2 has bigger variety. They are also more detailed. 13:00 The graphics in Vermintide 2 seems like someone botched something along the line. Notice how you have to have ridiulously high gamma to even see something? And as a result everyting looks washed out, except the dark parts, which look pitch black (look at Victor's clothes, for example). Vermintide 1 doesn't have that problem. Granted, when it works, the lighting in 2 is fantastic... but it usually doesn't. 14:00 This might be a personal preference, but the interface in 2 is waaaaaay worse. One of the biggest let downs for me, in fact. In 1, everything was simple and acceesible with a single click, and the _art of the interface_ was also fantastic, downright to the smallest little button. 2s interface is not only more complex, but also way uglier.

I still can't believe how hard Fatshark dropped the ball with the back to ubersreik dlc. Rather than bringing back all the maps from the first game, which they could have done, they brought back 3 maps, and not particularly good ones either besides Horn of Magnus. So many good Vermintide 1 maps that we'll never get to play outside Vermintide 1. It's sad honestly, especially because they had a different design philosophy than the Vermintide 2 maps which would have made for a nice change in gameplay

12:14 "I never found myself stuck-stuck" SKAVEN SPY! AWAY WITH YOU, VERMIN!

Great video! I love both games to death, but I agree with a lot of what you said, especially concerning the improved loot and crafting system. I would personally include two more points that make V2 an improvement on V1. 1) the fact that V1 doesnt have bot priority settings for solo play without needing a mod. Vanilla solo play in V1 doesn't allow you to play with bot-Victor at all and you can't have Victor and Sienna on the same team. This was really frustrating to me and a massive oversight by FatShark. 2) totally personal bias but no setting for turning off the "blood splatter on screen" effect in V1. That being said, some folks hated it, but I really do miss the lorebook page collecting from the first game. The paintings are cool, but it would be awesome if they could somehow port the lorebook system from V1 into V2 as an additional collect-a-thon to the painting system. I need to go back to V1 and finish the book one of these days lol.

Overall experiences VT2 did it better, mainly due to the reworked loot system but imo the asmosphere and feel of the game is still better in VT.

ass tronomically

Ive been having SO much fun playing V2. I was kind of board of videogames for a while, I had tried V2 at some point and owned it but as a noob to it It felt overwhelming / hard so never touched it again. then this month I finally picked it up again and played through a couple levels as necromancer and had a blast, in a week I have gotten my necro to level 32. As a casual player though I will say the game has a few things that usually make me stop or get bored playing it. The levels are really long if you're either underpowered for the difficulty OR if you're trying to find tomes and grimoires without guides. I usually only play 2 games before I stop playing (it does get a BIT repetitive, it's definitely 100x better with friends). I've also had numerous games where I died or the game glitched or I fell off a cliff and dying w/o my character hanging on the ledge. I understand the dying normally because you messed up or were underpowered, but dying due to terrible bots, from accidentally falling off the edge, or losing all progress due to game crashing sucks. spent 20-45min playing through a level and have nothing to show for it (except for going up like half a level, but when my game crashed I gained NOTHING. it literally happened at the portal stone at the end of the level ;-;). The speed at which you get crates even with objectives / quests and leveling up feels super slow in veteran difficulty so getting grimoires and tomes is mandatory, It feels hard to judge if im ready to gup to the higher difficulties past veteran. I did use crafting extensively to try to speed up leveling up my character faster, but now I'm low on materials (whoopsies) and am now at a slow point of leveling up my characters power that just feels like such a slow crawl forward. it's a bit disheartening having so little progress after hours of gameplay and completing levels.

Btw. its pedantic, not pendantic

You don't feel that Vermintide 1 has more developed graphics and textures as well as a darker environment

The only correction is ixillis being orenstein and smough. That honor goes to the gladiator rat and his bull rat. They work in sync with each other, if you kill one of them the other gets more powerful and you get a different reward depending on who you kill first. Ixillis is indeed just two moonlight butterflies where one is already stronger than the other

Not to be pendantic, but that's not how you pronuncize that word. 😃 Thanks for the cool video and rat guy drawing. 👍

there is no doubt that V2 improves upon V1 but your experience with V1 is extremely superficial and your descriptions are partially wrong also its etc not ect

So is this not on console

Just found out your channel and i really enjoy your style of commentary so i was wondering if you plan on doing more videos since this one is 5 months old ?

Wouldn't have thought you had that low a subscriber count watching the video, great quality review!

I will say that on console the hud for vermintide 2 takes up much of the screen while the pc version of V2 is perfect it bearly takes up the screen the console version needs that hud atleast an option to change the hud would be good

Thank you for the review. Makes me want to play it even with the frustrations.

i definitely felt it but imma power thru and try to beat 1 with my friends before 2 that way we can enjoy it more

On a pedantic note, it's pedantic. Not pendantic. Aside from that, I really want to talk shit on how little you played and that you didn't do the combat justice. But, there are reviews from people who have the time to experience the rest of the game. So it's kinda nice to have a bare bones noob review.

Good review. What platform was it played on and is V2 online only?

real good beacause me and my friends can rp in it so lets goooo!!!!

Still love DT and it's in a better state now after five months but still feels quite barebones with some very confusing design choices given what Fatshark should have learnt from Vermintide 1 and 2. It had already been delayed lots but then Fatshark obviously locked themselves into the November release with marketing and promotional tie in (like with Geforce cards) when they really should have just delayed it again as they squandered what could have been an amazing launch, and it's sad. Into a bit more tinfoil hat time, from the dev blog posts it sounds like they had more ambitious plans for how careers, levels and weapon modifications worked that they scrapped a few months earlier to meet the release gate which is why. The impression I got was that originally the idea was the levels were semi-procedurally generated based "map tiles" on the five zones ("The Hourglass" Freight Port, "Chasm Terminus" Transit Hub, "Metalfab 36" Manufactory and Habzones "The Torrent" and "Throneside") and seven missions types. But it seems they couldn't get them to work so they instead made 13 (now 14 and soon 15) levels using these four tiles, that sometimes reuse the same area from different directions but this makes it feel like it loses some of the soul and charm from the levels in Vermintide 1 and 2 which had far clearer identities. Likewise they had grander ideas for mixing how your Archetype, class and weapons tied together but they ended up dumping this so we ended up with just the Vermtintide 2 talents turned sideways and with 4 archetype with 1 class each rather than the 5 characters with 3 careers at the start of Vermintide 2. I miss the Ubersreik 5 but I'm not against what FS tried to do with custom characters to allow mixed class. It's really odd that you can't even see your character's backstory just written down after you finish the creation. The story I think actually starts pretty well with the intro cinematic, prologue and even the little training with the creepy psyker and then utterly evaporates, except for a few environmental storytelling clues during the mission and some mid=mission dialogue. As an aside the Assassination targets have randomly generated names. So in theory they're different enemy officers every time BUT there is a big bad. "Captain Wolfer" who is the guy the Traitor Guardmen attack the prison ship to release in the Prologue but you only get his name if you have the subtitles on and... we never see him again after the first few minutes. A one off assassination mission that unlocks when you hit lv30 which just has his name and a few tailored bits of dialogue where he taunts you to come to join him during the fight would have been *something*

A very good review and nice to have a prospective that isn't from someone who had played both to utter death like I have. I grew up loving Warhammer and the Vermintide series is the best I've seen bringing it to life from a ground up prospective. I picked up Vermintide 1 in 2017, after lots of the initial issues had been ironed out and the DLCs had started to flow and fell in love with it and had over 900 hours in it, was playing on Cataclysm, have vast stockpiles of loot etc. Some of this was with friends but this was also when the VT1 playerbase still had lots of players. Going to VT2 from top tier VT1 was a nice reset but felt like the grind to item power 300 and leveling system to 30 was arbitrarily gating you from high level play which was somewhat annoying. In VT1 we managed to drag a friend through some early a few levels and they got some top gear far quicker than the 50 hours it takes to get to full max in VT2. One thing you missed from just playing the base game of VT1 was that the later DLC had some very ambitious ideas that weren't really revisited. This included the first proper Skaven Warlord boss with phases (I think the same model as the one in VT2 Into the Rest) also a level where you get on a ship and fight off skaven boarding actions. Likewise the Dwarf levels are beautiful. VT2 also had some fantastic levels but they ended up being a bit more uniform and formulaic than some of the batshit stuff VT1 experimented with. Likewise, I very much agree that VT2 is FAR better at giving you loot and letting you craft a particular weapon than VT1 was for a new player in the crucial first hours. But at the other end when you're playing about with top tier items, I found the Vermintide 1 system of orange weapons having 3 special powers to be more interesting than Vermintide 2 having 2 % number and one special power... which if you had a melee weapon was almost certainly should be "Swift Slayer" which makes you attack faster after a critical hit. In VT1 the shrine lets you reroll special weapon powers but you can choose to keep your old result, likewise try to increase the % chance of activation but it never gets worse. Whilst in VT2 you have to accept your reroll And the Red Weapons in Vermintide 1 sometimes have unique weapon power combinations that make them special. Whilst in VT2 they are the same as a very lucky roll on a Orange weapon. The weekly contracts in VT1 let you work towards a weekly contract for a red weapon when they turn up (which is normally once/week), whilst it's always blind luck from a high level chest in VT2. But this is the whining from someone who has spent far too many hours in a game they are obsessed with. As it is, I have some gripes but I have over a thousand hours in VT2 and had a load of other friends start playing at the start of 2021 and helping them learn to play the game was alot of fun. I love the Tide series despite it's occasional spaghetti code and load bearing bugs. Even with the premature release of Darktide.

It's like a Musou game if a musou game was crappy and had boring shooting mechanics.

New Video idea: Darktide is Astronomically Worse Than their previous titles combined

Wanted to share this but it had too much channel talk. Just sharing.

Buy everything for Vermintide 2. It´s worth it. I played that game for over 2000 hours

one more day and i get play this game on my switch oled 😃

Better than Darktide too

This is one of my favorite games, I've clocked over 1000 hours into it at this point and I have no intention of stopping. I hope you keep enjoying to play it. Maybe we'll see each other in a lobby at some point as every once in a while I like to jump back into lower difficulties to help people out a bit. Keeps the game fresh when the higher difficulties get too taxing.

Great review and great video! I can really tell how much work went into making this video and I think it was worth the wait to get it so well made. And I love the hand drawn thumbnail!

No they are not zombies they are roting babarian humans corrupted by nurgle.

this game is too short but evrything else is a masterpiece
