Warhammer 40k: Darktide

So whats the consensus? do you need to play this with 3 friends to have fun? Can you do it solo? Is it worth it.

I can solo fine with level 2 difficulty, things can get out of hand quick on level 3 difficulty. However, I've found that better players are online late at night. If you got 2 known good players you can do level 3s fine, 4 bangers is where shit starts to get out of hand.

Right but it's mostly random matchmaking? or is it better to go in with homies.

Level 3 you can pug it. Level 4 you need at least someone to take out snipers, and you need to communicate.

Like 30 seconds worth of cosmetics spamming!

Also remember to reset your graphics settings.

Same as Vermintide, there's the farming difficulties and ones to do with good people. Which I think makes sense. Just add people who are good and eventually some accept and you can get some groups going with good randos.

I'm also down for whatever but usually have 2-3 with me.

They added numeric values...

Can't have a functional itemization or crafting system but we sure as fuck have a cash shop on "launch"

Oh this means it's out on Gamepass now too. Get my fill there and then come back in a year when they finish the game on steam.

Performance feels better even though my frames are about the same. Doesn't feel as sluggish.

Felt sluggish to me in my 1st run through during my lunch break. Double checked my settings, and they appeared ok. I cycled my settings so maybe they will take once I fire it up this evening. The mission I ran was the sand propaganda mission. Maybe that one isnt optimized well, but it was effecting my combat prowess.

I did get 2500 Aquilas for free and promptly spent them on the 2400 Aquilas Zealot set. Absolutely drips. Will post when I get home.

Lastly didnt have a queueue when I fired it up.

The highlighted portion was really noticeable. During the beta, I was able to go straight into hordes and tank the crap out of it. Now I am going to be looking for choke points because I was definitely feeling the hits coming through the toughness shield and slowly taking away my hp.
