Helldivers 2! Played the first one a bit but not nearly as engaged with that as I am in this. Bought on launch day and had a blast until the massive player spike killed the servers, that’s seems to be better now as I was able to get in fine and play for a few hours last night.
It’s 100% worth the price and hype but I recommend waiting a few weeks to a month from now while they fully deal with server load issues and they say mechs are pretty much ready to be added now and are just getting polished.
For background, the first game peaked at ~7000 players, this one had 480K on steam alone and that number again on PlayStation this past weekend. They didn’t expect this level of success and so didn’t plan to have server capacity and robust network code for it, they are putting in the long nights to fix it though and we’re already seeing improvements only a couple weeks in
This reminds me of the last time I watched the film Event Horizon. The CG scenes look SOOOO BAD! It’s been one of my favorite horror movies since I first saw it as a teenager in the late 90s, and I still love it, but I had no memory of that shitty fake looking cg lol Thankfully that’s not a huge part of the movie
I disagree, and think it brings all sorts of new takes on the Souls Like formula. But in the end we don’t have to agree and just play what we enjoy. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
How does it compare to the Lords of the Fallen from several years ago? I played through that and found it to be pretty buggy and not very fun, although quick enough that I did a new game plus run as well. I’m curious if the new one is any better.
I have not played the original so I can’t do a comparison. I play on Linux with a Nvidia 3060Ti and fame runs fine, no real issues yet. If you read the forums though, it’s like any other game and does have some bugs for some people. It also being a souls like, means that it’ll never have enough of X or Y or Z for everyone. People complain it’s too hard, some that it’s too easy, some people hate invasions, others think that constant invasions make it better. I would watch a video or two with some game play and you could probably quickly tell if you would want to try it yourself. It also has multiple endings that you can’t do in one run, unlike a lot of the Elden Ring ending where you can then choose at the end.
Currently have over 100 hours in Persona 3 Reload and I haven’t even completed the game yet.
Always wanted to dive into P3P/FES until Reload was announced, and I’m so happy I waited. The game is very polished and I’ve heard it is a faithful remake of the OG P3. Definitely going for a NG+ afterwards!
Still just a heavily modded Skyrim playthrough that still remains perfectly lore-friendly. But I’m strongly considering playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance soon. Unfortunately for me, the prospect of modding the hell out of Morrowind again is also calling to me.
How’s Helldivers been? I was a big fan of the first game but I’m having trouble justifying the full price purchase with a lot of the reviews talking about crashes. I’ll still probably end up buying it though.
I’m also a big fan of the first game. It’s literally the same game but with a huge graphic upgrade. You will not be surprised by the gameplay loop.
But the big plus is the ambiance. I feel like I’m in an action movie (the fog, the effects, the music) and with friends it’s awesome to share that feeling.
I don’t have experienced any crashes so far on PS5. But we had long queues at the release. It’s far better now (1-2 minutes yesterday). However the quickplay is still broken for me (tried yesterday). So if you don’t have a group of friends to play with, it’s gonna be rough without matchmaking.
