All AAA studios started as AA's that cared. That's why Xbox's studio buying spree of old tired game IP was a literal waste of money. The best games originate from AA's. Witcher series (AA studio) Subnautica (AA studio) Helldiver 2 (AA studio) etc etc. The best games come from studios hungry to make it to the big leagues.

[@errorisdei988]

​@@brokeandtiredyour argument is like: All men are sons of a father, so all men are or will be fathers... thats not a valid argument, there are enough studios, that are AA Studios for a long long time ... and if Palworld, Baldurs Gate 3, Enshrouded, HD2 compared to for example Ubisoft Pirates game (shit, see, I even forgot its name).. that AAA is far away from being a succes, but instead connected to high risks nowadays

Buffing things makes a lot of sense lore-wise too, "the super earth research team has salvaged automaton tech and repurposed it to improve our energy weapons, the new bug variants have enabled the development of higher energy fuel that makes x, y and z cheaper, more effective etc"

by that same token so is nerfing. 🤷 "the super tech salved for our super weapons is now super fucked by bugs and bots, ggs"

You are SO right about the randoms. One guy went up to my railgun, i asked him not to take it, he takes it, i hit him with my gun (didnt even shoot him) and he immediately kills me. Ok, thats fine, a bit scummy but fine. My teammate, who has a shield generator and sickle, immediately gets shot in the back and has his stuff taken by the SAME guy. And then the dude has the AUDACITY to get mad after we kill then boot him.

[@mspotato138]

I was always a single player role game gamer (witcher, cyberpunk, tomb raider, tlou, ...). But Helldivers really get to me, maybe because when I play with friends it is similarly immersive. You are surrounded, call in a nuke and shout "For Democracy" into your mic and go out with a bang. Not to mention that the gameplay is super amazing, and i assume with the coming patches the game balance and stability will increase drastically. Also the whole concept of working with the community to a common goal is amazing.

I agree. Dont nerf the good stuff. Maybe dont even buff the bad stuff that much but keep the fun where it is. And yes the microtransation thing is overblown. I am lvl 26 i earned enough super cred in game to get the premium warbond AND get 2 suits of armour from the superstore. People should look at it as if you want to support the game by all means buy super cred but honestly its laughably funny how they did this right with the premium currency compared all other publishers. As long as sony dont interfere and things stay the course this game has a bright future.

[@Dgalvez420]

I’m so glad you’re covering this game! I didn’t know about it till 4 days ago, but a friend introduced me to it and it looks so fun! Sadly I can’t play it for myself since I only have a PS4 but even watching others play and add to its role-play has been fun

[@fierroboy1]

I only got a ps5 a couple months ago. I had been using ps4 and only got it because hell diver 2 was gonna release. One think that feels really good in this game that just enhanced my experience was the dynamic trigger resistance on the ps5 controller especially paired with this game feels awesome. Usually most features come off as gimmicks to me but i was pleasantly suprised with this one. It makes the feel of the different guns so much better. I think your in for a treat if you get the ps5.

Friendly fire and player collision are vital to any self-respecting multiplayer game. If the people you're playing with's presence can't be felt and experienced, then that's taking away from the social aspect of multiplayer games. It's important for the same reason pillow fights during sleepovers were fun as a kid. So many multiplayer games today choose to get rid of player collision and friendly fire, because they're afraid of people getting mad at their teammates. But here's the thing, they're gonna get mad at their teammates anyway, so you might as well give them the opportunity to make it known, rather than letting them build up their frustrations with no outlets other than chat verbal abuse, which is far worse. But it's not just important as a way to let players settle their beefs in the game, it also makes for good fun, and makes it far more likely for people to make friends (and enemies). But the point is it creates player interaction, which in turns creates a stronger bond to the game, since their friends and enemies they made in the game, are playing the game.

[@Green-IV]

[@Freezyloen]

I've recently gotten this game and it's so good. What you said cod zombies and coop really resonated with me. However, I actually had this moment some time ago with another game: Deep Rock Galactic. Similarly to Helldivers, it's a coop horde shooter with a dev team that actually cares about their game and the community and has their priorities straight. Plus other similarities like the big presence of friendly fire, the complete disregard of alien life and the heavy undertone of a dystopian future, although in this case corporate instead of fascist. I can honestly REALLY, EXTREMELY recommend it to people who like helldivers 2. It's absolutely not a replacement to helldivers, or necessarily better or worse, but it has those important similarities. On the contrary, because both games are so strong exactly where they differ (for example the strategems in HD2 and the weapon customization + overclocks in DRG), they complete eachother very well in my game library Hope my little rant proves useful :) For democracy, for liberty, for rock and stone, and for Karl!

All balance discussions, particularly relating to the shield backpack, have to wait until armor is fixed. When players gain some durability, and maybe a good chunk of durability with heavy armor options, that will move the ground under everything else' feet in a big way. That shoe has to drop before any informed ideas about other balance issues can even begin to be formed.

[@wheelcha1rman2]

As someone who's gaming is also narratively driven, H2 has such a great tone, such brilliant world building, i am the story. I will sneak around the jungles of Malevalon Creek, I will traverse the rugged landscape of Angel's venture. Because the game makes me believe that what I do matters. The diagetic storytelling is remarkable. And then there are the fabulously tongue-in-cheek instances of flavour text. Arrowhead have crafted something truly remarkable.

Arc thrower is superior to the railgun to me, I can throw electricity up to about 55 meters and it chains through enemies with unlimited ammo, sounds like a good add clearer and not to mention it ignores armor so even heavier targets fall with some time spent on them. If anything kills you it is because there are too many enemies so clearing extras as a bonus to shooting something large is fantastic, just make sure to tell your allies to not be in front of you or if they do tell them to hit the floor so it doesn't target them as Arc weapons and turrets won't target prone players.
