Oh snap! Player count doesn't matter anymore in a multiplayer game! WOOT. Thanks for the updateAll the way down to #4 on Steam. RIP Helldivers 2.
Glad Sony didn’t nix them when looking at studios to destroy consolidate close.
I wonder how long before we see characters from other games show up. Would anyone care or remember if they brought in characters from resistance or killzone, maybe dark jak? Or would it be best to stick to recent games like alloy or boy?

From what I understand, Sony doesn't own Arrowhead Games. They have a publishing deal in place though. I did read a few weeks back that there's a chance Helldivers 2 could make its way over to Xbox after some sort of exclusivity time. And if that happens it'll be awesome if they include console cross-play. We could all be true Console Warriors fighting the filthy Bugs and undemocratic Bots.
The new weapons and armor for the new Warbond are a little disappointing. There's really only one weapon that's worth it and the Stun grenade is very useful. I just wish the new Plasma Shotgun had a little more kick and bigger ammo count.
I can't complain though, I didn't pay any real money for it. I had earned enough Super Credits just from playing the game.
Got another round in. Only at trivial difficulty as I ramp up play time now that I am done with Rebirth. It’s such an easy quick play way to get in and out. It’s nice. I love PvE.
Agreed. I am Cadet 4. Time to get my big boy pants on. But headed out to the Caribbean for 10 days starting Friday so no gaming!
At level 8, and we tried doing the Extreme difficulty (6 I believe) and we got demolished lol yeahhh back to hard for now
Get it, man. We'd be unstoppable...........until I plant an air strike on top of us, lol.
Seriously, I've got better at planting the strike becons. I promise not to blow up the team.......more than once.
I'm not some snob who has to always play at the highest difficulty. So, if anyone of you guys are just starting out and want to team up I'd be all for it. Just don't jump in my line of fire.

I've often argo'ed some heavies and called in a 500lbs bomb on my position just to take pressure of the guys doing the objectives.
The devs are releasing a new patch today, if its not already out. It says it decreases enemy patrols and addresses enemy spawns on the players.Blowing up your own team is all part of the experience

I hope this is fixed because on more than one occasion I've had a horde of Bots spawn on top of me. And I'm not exaggerating, they literally spawned right above me and when they land I was totally surrounded.
I think the devs are having a hard time balancing the game to keep it fun while still challenging. It doesn't help that there are so many vids of well coordinated players making the hardest difficulty look easy.
Played an hour or so and I'm left wondering what all the hype was for.
Game is ugly. Audio is basic. Gun play is rather generic. Bugs are dumb. Missions thus far have not been interesting. Looks like a pretty standard progression system.
Yes, I know, only been an hour, but first impression is not great.

The patch on march 12th (where it increased the enemies spawn and nerfed some weapons) really screwed with the game balance so I'm glad to see them looking at it again with this patch. Suicide difficulty is still my go to level for most games. I haven't beaten a campaign mission set on Helldiver difficulty yet. I probably could at this stage but its not not really enjoyable to play that level.
Yeah - that was kinda my first impression as well. Well, not the game being being ugly - it looks friggin gorgeous on my set. Took me to get to about level 7 or 8 before I really started getting into it.
I'm level 36 now and to me it is hands down the most original & fun to play shooter since Titanfall .
The game is ugly. Audio isn't special. Gun play is bland as you say. But everything just seems to wrap up into a nice fun package for me. Quick match, kill some baddies co-op together.
For me it's a nice, and positive, change from my COD days.
Being dipped in a vat of acid is a positive change from CoD.
Give it a little more time. I think as a shooter fan you'll come to like the fun chaos this game brings. I don't think its the best looking game out there but looks pretty good to me. I think that's more about the lighting for the explosions and how the game tends to look like a Star Wars movie especially on Malevelon Creek.
I also like the mission objectives, Launch the ICBM, Disable the Stratagem Scrambler, Destroy the Dropships, ect. The Bugs are stupid but they come in great numbers. I prefer to go up against the Bots. Although they can get really aggressive like the Bugs with the difference that they shoot back.
I played a few matches on my lunch break. The only difference I noticed with the new patch is I didn't get caught in a constant aggo loop. It was crazy to have to deal with multiple dropships and the only way around it was to run. But I could have got lucky and no enemies sent up a flare for reinforcements, more testing required.
I'm not writing it off. I mean it has only been an hour. Not even saying it is a bad game. Just after all the nonsensical hype It is just an average game.
You're right about the HYPE. I think its a fun game and I'm glad its doing well. But I was also surprised by how it blew up. In the meantime.........
Keep Fighting the Good Fight
FOR SUPER EARTH!!!
