Helldivers 2 Review and |OT| "Fight for freedom, fight for Democracy"

[Entropi]

Speaks volumes you have 100 hours in and it just released Also tht you don't play mp but stuck with this. I'm 80 something hours in .

It's so refreshing to pick up a multiplayer and just have fun. I’m surprised I’m that close to the plat by just playing it.

No wonder the gameplay is so addictive in HD2! Wow, they're pretty similar!

Mechs are coming soon and new stratagems. A dev was playing with someone and testing the new stuff.

TLoU Part 2, MGSV and Helldivers 2. These are the best when it comes to TPS gameplay.

Pretty impressive turnaround, the user reviews have been on a rollercoaster following the server capacity issues. Now that they're sorted, players are rewarding the game with much improved review scores.

From memory, it never hit over 80% since launch. Was mid 60s, then climbed to about ~78% before falling to high 60s due to server issues. That it has recovered, and in fact exceeded launch reviews, is really good sign.

Server issues aside the game is just damn good, with great gameplay and gets everything right.

A dev that has a clear vision for their game, that understand the apeal of their game and that respect players.

People were saying the server issues at launch were going to kill the game but the peak today is already higher than yesterday and the reviews keep going up. Sony have a winner and it will be the best-selling game of the year 2024.

As reference, it became the top 1 best seller at Steam a few days before launch and continues being top 1.

I'm not sure what to think of the rail gun, it's pretty good vs armored for sure but I feel like the autocannon is much more useful overall, I feel so useless when dealing with bug holes while I have the rail gun, at the same time autocannon takes backpack slot which sucks.

You have to build around the railgun. Bring the eagle bombing stratagems that can blow up bug holes. Not the 500kg because the AoE is too small. If you bring railgun you also have to just accept your role as the anti-heavy on the team and play support on the bug holes. Rely on teammates to do the closing.

This is correct, but also the game has hit a peak CCU of 278k Thursday night NA times, which is higher than both Wednesday and Tuesday. This is very atypical, especially for a huge launch that was trending downwards.
Normally Thursday is the day of the week where you see very minimal drops, but an increase over two days is impressive.

People really might be talking to their friends in saying how the game is more stable.

There's still a few key issues noted on their patches that they need to address which would help immensely with CCU numbers.Namely the still many ways in which the game can disconnects you, the Personnel orders not showing and rewards/progress sometime not being up to date.

I think you'll be a great companion as most people are rocking railguns and protection backpacks.
