VATS should have made the game playable for me, and it almost did, unfortunately my mouse skills are somewhat limited these days and I kept inadvertently aiming at the floor or sky while trying to turn round to target enemies behind me.

Have you ever tried the original Fallout 1 and 2? They're not really up to much graphically these days, but all movement and combat is turn based so might be a bit more accessible control wise.

Only if Ironhide is cool with being one hit killed by a rat in the very first encounter..

I have played it (briefly) and that did actually happen.

That's not why I stopped playing it though, the 640x480 resolution made the in game text unreadable when played in a window, which I need to do to use my onscreen keyboard.

There seems to be a new 40K game coming out on Steam and the Play Store every week now.

How's Vermintide 1 compared to 2? The original and some DLC are in that bundle, so I've got that already, but if the 2nd makes the first a bit obsolete, I might grab it while it's reduced.

VT1 is fine but a bit basic. Theres no point in playing it really while VT2 exists unless you just want to have it there for completionist sakes. In VT1, theres literally only a couple of maps that people play over and over (the shortest maps) so they can just go for the loot drop as fast as possible. VT2 has much bigger maps, and gives you an incentive to play a random map (better loot if you choose random play, as opposed to picking a map) so it stops people from jsut running the same shortest map over and over, it has more varied objectives for maps, more boss enemy types (4 bosses for VT2, 1 boss for VT1), more standard enemy types, better class choices and perks, really theres no real reason youd choose 1 over 2 IMO

Thought that might be the case. I'll probably grab V2, as I think £11.50 is about the cheapest I've seen it. Wonder how it will run, though.

Whats your rig? I have a 970 & i7 4770k and it runs fine. 60fps @ 1080p with a mix of ultra/high settings

I'm still running on an 7 year old build with a 560Ti and an i5 2600K.

I can still run most stuff well enough, but youtube videos for V2 look hectic, and with a ton of particle effects.
