Is pic related worth getting into nowdays or am i too late?
How does it compate to Deep Rock Galactic in terms of fun?
>>

It's alright, obviously more fun with friends, but randoms aren't too bad either. Playing missions solo is kinda boring.

Just don't take it super seriously as some autists on here and reddit do, the galactic war is and always has been a meme.

It's still worth playing, there isn't any real FOMO so it's just gotten bigger and better over the years. Main problem is that there's been a ton of warbonds (battle passes) added since launch and it's daunting for new players to get going without paypigging. Unless you're on PC, in which case you can ask around on /vg/ for someone to host a cheat lobby for unlimited premium currency.

Good blend of arcade and sim, 3 fronts that are vastly different from one another, varied biomes and modifiers, a good amount of jank and balancing issues.
The devs does this annoying thing to buff/fix something right as a better version of said thing is available in the upcoming warbond.

700 hrs. it's insanely grindy. like to play with all the content you'd easily need like 300 hrs. devs hate the playerbase and constantly balance it to make it fair for the non playable enemies. it's drg if ghost ship had a barely concealed bug fetish and every other day you logged in to your favorite weapon or playstyle being nerfed into the ground. there's some fun in it somewhere but it's hard to find under the unpatched day one bugs in a two year old game (conveniently only the bugs that make the enemies stronger stay in, player bugs are patched within a week) yes i'm mad

You can probably get like 70 hours of fun out of it anything after that feels repetitive. I'd say it's worth it, especially if you get it on sale.

The core mission loop and blasting tons of enemies makes it extremely fun despite the devs best efforts. If you are starting out there will be a lot of variety of things to fight with 3 factions and subfactions. The grind will be insane for the warbond weapons and content even if you shell out for the paid currency. It's much worse than overclock grind.

Do not expect a team game. DRG is a miracle of good design decisions fostering natural teamwork. This is the opposite. Teamplay is a great force multiplier, but the game actively discourages it. Your typical rando quickplay squad is basically what would happen if your DRG squad are all scouts equipped with fat boys and C4 on cooldowns.

You're about four years too early before the devs (hopefully) get their act together and push the game to a balanced and content-rich place

>>737639170
You're too late. Enjoy spending $200 and then grinding for a few hundred hours on top of that to catch up

LMAO

>>737639170
If you are going to get it I highly recommend coming to the helldivers general on /vg/ for lobbies.
Pubbies don't stick together that often which hurts the new player experience and teamplay.

I will warn you that the game is very unstable. It might not crash that often for you but for some people it crashes frequently.

you really only need like 3-4 warbonds to get everything to make d10 missions a breeze
