Opinion from someone not into live service games. I’ve played Destiny and found the story pushes you along, a lot of interesting set pieces and bosses and expansive world, but that’s on a whole different budget.
Helldivers gets the core gameplay there, but it’s very grindy. You essentially loop into a small flat world without any landmarks and use the mini map to head to the objectives. Which are mostly kill stuff. You interact with a console sometimes.
The meta game is just unlocking new weapons and costumes. You do get early taste of better weapons if you team up with higher level players
The game is most fun in a team, solo is good to learn the ropes but gets tedious quickly. There are no roles or tactics like in Deep Rock Galactic
Enemy variety at least for my brief time playing is very low, there are 2 archetypes, varying from small mobs to the standard armoured large dude or charging monster.
The tutorial is fantastic and hilarious but that type of writing isn’t brought up again.
I would say wait for more content patches. Vehicles, more enemy types, linear worlds or more interesting objectives would drive up the variety and replayablity
Really wish there was a good Lemmy community for Helldivers, I’ve been back on the “site that shall not be named” to find out updates and see what people are saying. It’s easily one of the best games I’ve played in a long time!
Absolutely fantastic game. Extremely addicting, very satisfying gunplay, animation, sounds, everything looks and feels great.
Comparatively with the first game it is a bit more difficult, though a lot of skills, weapon, and enemy knowledge carry over. Only two factions currently compared to the first game's three.
Instead of doing piecemeal DLC to unlock other equipment like the first game this one opts for a battle pass style of using points attained through gameplay to unlock new items, with each tier of possible unlocks opening up once you hit thresholds of points spent. The battle pass acts as a separate, shorter unlock track that takes the same points. You can buy the battle pass track through the Super Citizen edition or for ten dollars, or by completing most of the free upgrade tracks and using the premium currency it provides to unlock the other track for free.
Compared to the first, which had no free option for unlocking premium equipment, I would consider this more fair, as it'd be a grind, but is totally doable, and it helps that equipment from either upgrade track seem decently balanced, you are not incentivized to get the battle pass equipment because they're better.
Lastly, the game is a technical mess at the moment. It runs very well and smoothly, everything feels great, nothing is awkward or overly wonky, but then the game just crashes or disconnects you, or you can't connect in the first place. There have been rapid patches, but it isn't clear if these are helping or worsening the issue, as after two or so patches I played for a few hours yesterday and between the four of us disconnected and crashed numerous times.
Still, it's a testament to how extremely thoroughly well designed and executed the game is that I'll still come back and play more. Arrowhead know how to make an excellent game, just seems they were not prepared for this level of success, I didn't see it coming either. I only pray they get it together and smoothen it out soon so people can just enjoy it. The first game ended up really smooth and problem free, so I expect HD2 to end up the same, the only question is how long it'll take.
Isn’t it just Deep Rock Galactic - that’s it no : or something because I’m sure they’ve made a bunch of sequels that are all slightly different genres and every one of those is always had a subtitle, but I think the original one didn’t have a subtitle
Policja zapukała, ale chyba nawet poniżej 18 był i skończyło się na upomnieniu typu “no nie wolno ściągać z internetu bo to kradzież”. Najlepsze jest to że nawet nie dla siebie pobierał ten film tylko dla matki xd
Nie jestem do końca pewien, ale wydaje mi się że żeby cię faktycznie ścigano za piractwo musi się zgłosić właściciel praw autorskich. Bywa tak że właściciel celowo podpina się pod takiego torrenta i robi listę seedów które przekazuje dostawcom internetu i/lub policji. Dlatego informacja że to nowy polski film była kluczowa xd nie ma komu cię ścigać za obcy content
Nah. That’s a voxel game. The game I’m thinking of has very realistic graphics. Logo wasn’t that colorful either. It’s was a thin white font with the logo above it.
Nah I agree. Minecraft Dungeons has a really approchable aesthetic that hits different. It’s an easier sell to my partner. Its cute, and the build complexity and variaty is surprisingly good. Don’t sleep on Minecraft Dungeons y’all!
Because you want to avoid Diablo because Diablo, maybe you could get Diablo used on console, you don’t need a Blizzard account or an internet connection and since it’s used the money wouldn’t go to Blizzard. It might be an option, depending on why you want to avoid Diablo.
