Game is pretty fun!
It has all of the stressful attributes of L4D and then some.

Someone on your team heading off in the wrong direction(me) when everyone else is going in the right one? Commence melt down.
Someone wasting an explosive on a small group when a huge horde is right around the corner?(me!!) Commence melt down.
Someone always getting themselves surrounded and needing to be revived every 5 minutes?(meee!!!!) Commence. melt. down.


Basically, I'm good at this game and all L4D-likes and people need to get on my level. :colbert:

How much control do you have over melee swings? Are there controls to select swing direction, or is it basically just clicking through a set attack cycle?

I... THINK there might be a move in the direction you want to swing mechanic but I'm not positive.

Is the beta still playable then? Or do I have to pre-order to continue playing it now?

Reinstalled it to try it out myself, the beta's over for those of us that didn't pre-order.
Welp, was fun while it lasted.

I can understand zombies because apparently there are a whole lot of nerds who get really excited at the idea of butchering animated corpses, but i've never heard of someone wanting to kill an army of rat men. It just strikes me as a really bizarre theme to go with in terms of getting people excited to play your game.


EDIT: I know the lore is about a city getting overrun by rat men, but the developers still had to make the decision to make it a game about about a city being attacked by rat men. That's the part i find weird.

Jesus, dude.

Lore-wise, Skaven are literally vermin.
They swarm over cities, towns, and villages just like an epidemic would.

They are the Warhammer equivalent of a zombie infestation even though the world does have zombies too.

What are you not getting?
I'd rather fight an enemy I haven't seen in an action game like this before than just fightings orcs or zombies again, rat men with personality sounds much more appealing to me.

Alright, fuckers, bought the collector's edition with hopes that this game is a great success and the devs support it with more maps down the line.

Do we have a steam group and mumble channel ready?

Just checking, the CE bonuses/etc will show up at release, right? Ie, no one has those cosmetics yet, correct?

I don't have any of the CE goodies yet either so yeah probably.

I don't know about anyone else but I crack the gently caress up whenever a good run goes horribly wrong and we all die.

Sure, it's annoying that you lose out on the chance for phat lewt at the end but come on, just shaddup and replay it, the game is fun enough that I don't even mind replaying levels immediately.

I really hope there's a mod or something that shows where all of the books are. I really have no desire to memorize all of the locations and I am perfectly happy with skipping any they involve jumping puzzles.

Oh for fucks sake they still have that lovely book system? That might just this a hard pass for me unless everything else is a drastic improvement over the original.(specifically end of match rewards actually being something I can use for my current class MOST of the time and if stats and item modifiers are cooler)

Fair points all, I dug VM1 for the most part even if I pretty much stopped playing after going through each map a couple of times... the rat murder was enough to get me to hop on for a few minutes and just kill until I was satisfied afterwards.

Sounds like VM2 is more of an actual game with built in longevity now.
