Van Saar DLC Review and Overview - Necromunda Underhive: Wars

Ойындар

The Van Saar is the technological house of the Underhive - but do they live up to that reputation in this DLC? What do you get if you buy it and what do they look like in-game?!
All this and more I answer in this review of the Van Saar DLC - thanks to Focus Home and Rogue Factor for giving me access to the DLC before release.
I'll be streaming on Monday at 10PM CET on Twitch, where I'll be using the Van Saar gang to start a new D.I.E in the Underhive playthough - so make sure you follow and come watch!

    I tried to be as specific and direct as possible - should possibly have shown some of the stances they have when they are idle, holding weapons etc. as they are slightly different than the other Gangs, but I didn't feel it was a 'thing' to spend time on... You can see them on Monday if you want :)

    So the DLC looks to me like a slight stat and cosmetic upgrade to a basic gang template if they aren't going to including any new unique weapons. Other than the trap that is. The other gangs don't have unique weapons so I'm not sure why i was expecting Van Saar to.

  • @dannyavarice
    @dannyavarice3 жыл бұрын

    Yeah, I agree that Van Saar and Orlock seem backwards a bit. Van Saar's beginner stats should prioritize Ranged Aptitude, Accuracy, then Alertness (in that order). While the Orlocks beginner stats should be Alertness, Willpower, then Ranged Aptitude in my opinion. Goliath and Escher I don't really have much of a comment for their starter stats, they feel about right. I'm already wondering what gang they'll add next (if they add another). Delaque? Cawdor? Who knows. I've had the Palanite Enforcers on my wishlist for this game since launch, but I'm honestly not sure Rogue will go that far (Corpse Grinders included).

  • @GamekNightPlays

    @GamekNightPlays

    3 жыл бұрын

    Cawdor is my guess - the latest patch notes indicates them or Corpse Grinders. Either would be cool, but in the end I think their ressources would be better spent working on the AI as well as gang specific weapons (at least one for each) with the next update.. Balance can come later, but they need to look at turrets too...

    @@GamekNightPlays Oh yeah. Rogue has quite a bit of work ahead of them on polishing the game. They've done decently enough so far kinking out the bugs and what-not, but there's still a ways to go. I definitely agree the bots still need a bit of work. They aren't really much of a threat unless you just play recklessly (and even then sometimes the bots don't capitalize on even the worst mistakes). I would never complain to see more weapons, more armor, or more gangs. I do like your idea of gang specific weaponry. It's a bit confusing to me whether the Acid Thrower is the dreaded Escher Chem Thrower or not. If it is, cool it's in the game, but everyone can use it? But if it's not and the Chem Thrower is much stronger in general, then I'd love to see it added. Regardless of specifics, I do like how they added the Meltagun recently. Hadn't seen it before, so I'm not sure how long it's been in the game (may have been since launch). It was a pleasant surprise to find though. I'd like to see more traditional kinds of firearms though. Sniper rifles for Deadeyes and Shotguns for Saboteurs and the like. They've honestly done pretty well with the current variety of weapons so far. I just don't think there's such a thing as too many weapons to choose from.

  • @GamekNightPlays

    Yeah, agreed - the Acid Thrower is the Chem Thrower, but it isn't specific for the Escher. Instead they made class specific weapons, but they need to make the others as that is the main way the gangs will be different. They also suddenly added the Heavy Bolter to the game with the previous patch.. So it is coming.. Albeit slowly :) I just wrecked two AI teams in a match with my Van Saar without firing a shot... All turrets... 5 lay mechanics :P Very silly... Considering a video :P
