Very very awesome, been giving the game a break but defiantly going to get back into it again.

Gonna pick this up tonight. How is 360 gamepad support in this?
It works fine. I played a bunch of games with it to try it out but for me, I find k&m gives me a faster response time.

I hear ya. I'm pretty casual with my PC games. I haven't used k&m in years.
Is there split screen co-op on the PC version or is that planned for PS4? My wife and I used to play L4D together and she's interested in playing this with me.

Game isnt that demanding on GPU, its a CPU that bottlenecks it very severely.

I think we should piggyback onto the siege discord and create a channel for those who want to play on pc

Have they released PS4 footage yet?
will buy this game for sure. Also have they said if it will be getting a physical release?
I was watching a playthrough of this and I liked it but I was wondering if there is a lot of replayability?

Yup, getting some severe framerates drops even with a 4930K at 4.4GHz.
Has the Stingray engine been used in other games? I've never heard of it before?
Me and 3 friends found ourselves with copies of this over the course of the winter sale. We've been really enjoying it. We're still pretty early in (beaten about 6 or 7 levels on normal).
Only complaint I have is that loot drops seem kind of infrequent but I think the fact that we're all bad and fail missions a lot isn't helping. Despite having the wizard trinket equipped I've gotten SO much loot for the elf. I've gotten 2 blue rarity weapons so far and both of them have been for the elf. It's great that they give you an item to help influence your drops but I guess RNG gonna RNG. My friend that has been playing the elf has gotten all kinds of cool looking wizard drops, like a flaming sword and stuff. I think the game is trying to tell us we picked the wrong characters.

Definitely on my nest to get coop list. Me and my son just got Dying Light. Once we beat that we will be looking for the next one and this looks great.
OOF, maybe not (we got I5's @ 3.5 ghz.)

Try to use push more if you haven't.
I dont believe You that You dont have drops to 30-40fps with hordes.
Tell me an intensive map and I'll try it out.
I watched my fps in the well defending map and one of the silver shield maps where you put sacks in the carriage and didn't notice more than 5 fps drops all because of gpu. The well defending map had a lot of enemies too.
Also, I have no idea how to record fps and cpu usage etc to a log. Can I do that with msi afterburner or do I have to use hwinfo64?

Do you play at 1080p?
The easiest way to log fps is with FRAPS. Doesnt matter what map too.
Even Total Biscuit has performance problem in this game on Titan X SLI and i7-5930K@4.3ghz.
I tried basically everything i could to eliminate framerate drops on my i5 2500k@4ghz and GTX 970, but no luck.
Forgot to mention, 3440x1440.
Figured out how to use hwinfo64 logging. Did a 4 man run of Garden of Mor, which was the most intensive map I've found by far because of a bug/optimization.
The map has some optimization issue where if I looked in a certain direction (near castle) fps would tank and cpu usage would go up a bit.
Certainly got bigger drops and higher cpu usage in this map compared to quicker silver shield maps, but most of the drops (40 fps ones) were because of that issue.
Two types of graphs of the same run.
All of the larger drops and spikes, including the one between minute 1 to 3, were because of the optimization issue, where as all of the smaller fps drops were because of big packs of enemies.
The fps drops when fighting big packs weren't an issue at all, but having big fps drops every time I looked in the distance to the castle was highly annoying.
This is Horn of Magnus on Hard. The last few minutes is at the horn with the huge hordes. I don't get why my cpu doesn't go past 70% usage. I can definitely see the game being cpu limited here though, you're right.
Also, bright wizard spells cause fps drops, games are smoother without them
The Horn of Magnus Hard
Extreme preset @3440x1440. 980ti@1446/7404, 4690k@4.5, 16gb ram@2400mhz.
Started recording when loaded in and stopped in the caravan.

When games are CPU limited, they are not always using CPU at full. They can use one core at full capacity or just have some bad utilization in generation when their job latency are greater then they should have been, like here in Grim Dawn shot:

A lot of CPU and GPU to spare, but framerate is shitty.
In Vermintide my CPU is at 100% utilization though. I have to check how it behaves after patches, because i have not it tried recently.

I dunno, i enjoyed it at first, but something about the game just didnt grab me. I think i have about 10 hours logged on steam before i moved onto other games. Im not sure why, cant really put my finger on it, id hazard a guess at some missions just not being enjoyable overall (alot of short, bland missions like the sewer mission), a lack of good setpieces (there were some good ones, like the finale of horn of magus, but overall there wasnt alot of memorable moments like that), only one "Boss" type of enemy, and the quality of players met (either woefully inept AFKers, or just dickheads) kinda turned me off it. The loot game didnt really interest me either. Dont think i ever got anything that wasnt green.

Been playing this a ton on my Alpha using my DS4 with some friends and I'm loving it. Can be a little tough but that's a good thing, encourages teamwork.
Yes, yes it is. The only reason i dont play it currently, is because my coop friend dont have proper internet right now.
Game needs some more loot rework and ability to trade with people though, still i already clocked in it 23h.

The buzz around this game seems quiet. Is it just a l4d clone? Active online community?
Yes, it is steam only.

It has active online community. For gameplay i would recommend to watch some lets play. Its kinda l4d clone, but mostly melee focused, harder and with loot.

I recently got the game as well, and have put about 30 hours into it.
The game's a combination between Left 4 Dead in game mechanics and Payday 2 in rewards. In gameplay, the only major difference with L4D is that the combat is melee-centric, but otherwise it's similar in that there are waves of
Still, the game's pretty challenging, and with a static group of 4 we're still working our way through Hard.

They have a little difference in regards to difficulty level:
- Payday 2 : Higher the difficulty, the increase in damage and health enemy have, balanced with new enemy model like
Dozer or new SWAT
- Vermintide : the increase in damage and health does not have a new model/enemy at all only added friendly fire feature. So they only changed in attibutes not making a new model : very lazy IMO.
Literally nonexist AFAIK.

I'm about ready to jump back in soon. I played a ton of hours and burnt myself out early on, but I've got that itch now.
