Finally, some good fucking vidya.
Idk man I think it's kinda boring. Enemy variety sucks and everyone moves just slightly faster than the player so you just bunnyhop backwards everywhere. ride horse in straight line to next objective, start timer, jump backwards some more. I think drg is more interesting because there is much more variety in the encounters and the tools you can use. every fucking gun just feels the same and boring. Mite be cool eventually but it's like a reskin of Gunfire Reborn right now, but with less weapons.
>>738210000Checkdddd
>>738210000Yeah, I feel like it'll be amazing after a good bit. Tired of waiting for games to be fully finished
>>738210000nice get. and yeah, got the same impression and refunded for now. felt like bootleg helldivers which is fine due to price and not being bloatware but it's just too safe and run of the mill now
>>738209827important questions, is the minigun good?
Im enjoying it.
>>738212335Yes if you can control its recoil. You will, however, suffer ammo problems constantly.
>>738210000Try higher difficulty and the more difficult maps
>>738212335if you get good ROF jokers and combine it with elemental bullet chances, it does absolutely incredible damage. Avoid the regenerating ammo joker though, it cannot keep up and means you cannot sustain a long fight.
I think it's fun and worth the price at this point I can see it staying for atleast the rest of the year
>>738217370>Helldivers but no Arrowhead coming at the exact time people want Helldivers but are sick of ArrowheadVery fortuitous timing on their part, I'm just afraid the updates won't be substantial or numerous, its fine as it is for 20 bucks but its does get old and will be in desperate need of a few dozen more guns, enemy types, and objectives in the future.
>>738210000My issue is the guns. All the primaries feel the same, Jokers are mostly extremely plain, and interesting builds suck (like maxing movement speed) because everything is worse then just doing more damage.I tried to make a super DOOM build with max speed, both speed Jokers, 30% speed (but no horse), max jump height, with a shotgun. It was ass. Moving that fast doesn't do anything except have you randomly run into enemies more often. Plus the game relies on secrets a little to much for baseline progression. You literally can't play content unless you dgo out of your way to do some of the secret shit. It's kinda lame.ROGUELIKE FAGGOTRY RUINS ANOTHER POTENTIALLY GOOD GAME! Fuck this I'm going back to Mycopunk.
Is it like L4D2?
>>738219830No, its Helldivers 2.
>>738209827How's this solo
>>738220024Doable and downright expected for secrets, but the punishment is severe as dying is instant mission failure and all the enemies are going to be focused on you exclusively, you need to play combat encounters much better than if you were in multiplayer but its entirely possible.
>>738217707>arrowhead shitting the bed again>drg dead>rogue core will probably be a massive failurei'd say the devs were really fucking patient and released the game exactly when people had nothing else to play. smart move considering they already sold half a million
>>738220024Like Borderlands but without the quips
>>738220545I do wish the game finds future success and content, because to me it fixes my main base gripes with Helldivers 2, but it obviously can't compete with a billion dollar dev team churning out warbond after warbond in chase of profits.
>>738220545Unironicly try Mycopunk. Sometimes while playing the Cowboy class I feel like I'm playing a multiplayer Ultrakill. Literally just zooming around the map on crack blasting enemies.
>>738223545How solo friendly is it? Also there's only 300 players online, how much does that let you find people online to play with?
>>738223965Fairly solo friendly and I never struggled to much to find players. It is a small bar but typically still a couple servers to play at any given time.
>>738220545>have Arrowhead fatigue but still want to play HelldiversI've gotten my money's worth by now at least, so anything more in the future is just bonus.
>>738222286>Like Borderlandsit baffles me how no one make this comparison, it was the first thing i thought when i played itguess borderlands really is dead
>>738220167>>738222286Well what about how fun it is
>>738209827>FOTM multiplayer streamer baitYeah that's a pass from me
The demo they had during a Next Fest was so fucking bad it turned me off the game entirely.The retarded gabebot or whatever begging for positive reviews was enough for me to buy the game, leave a negative review, and refund it out of spite.
>>738222286>>738226264Borderlands is way more Mad Max than it is a western, and this is way more western despite a single nugget of Mad Max being present in the Marauder enemies.
>>738227080>focusing on aesthetics instead of gameplayRetard.
>>738226264I mean, I laughed a little bit at a joke while playing it, so it's definitely nothing like Borderlands
>>738225796There's those greyed out map areas so that's easy content. Throw in some more crazy modifiers and I think they're solid for a while. Maybe some more Jokers to play around with.
>>738227190what was the joke anoni fear this game will get to deep rock galactic levels of cringe, if not worse
>>738209827buy ad an
>>738222327To be fair Arrowhead wasn't a million dollar team before Helldivers 2 sold gangbusters on release.
>>738226939It's pretty fun desu
>>738218638>and interesting builds suck (like maxing movement speed) because everything is worse then just doing more damage.High movespeed and jumps literally makes you unkillable because the enemies have no trick other than being spammed all around you. They can hardly hit you out of the air bar like, snipers>super DOOM buildthats your mistake. You should have been inspired by ultratranny instead. Go do all of ultrashit on Brutal and you will find it literally impossible to be at all challenged by something like Far Far West or Nudoom or whatever other generic fps you can think of
>>738218638>My issue is the guns. All the primaries feel the sameI felt the same way for the 4 cylinder and the shotgun, but later weapons were different enough. It also massively helps to actually upgrade them because damage breakpoints or a minigun that fires your entire ammo reserve in 15 seconds will go a very long way to differentiate them, and that's without considering each weapon's unique jokers like the one that makes you never need to reload the lever action.
>>738229756the main issue is that the lever rifle mogs all other weapons by far since it's pinpoint accurate and when upgraded can have a decent amount of ammo. on very hard difficulty the snipers with the jetpacks will destroy you unless you immediately respond to them which is hard to do with every other weapon
>>738209827It’s alright. Really desperately needs better enemy variety and AI. The boss battle song with the banjo is goofy in a bad way I got sick of hearing it the 2nd time. Otherwise cool content maps and concept just needs better enemies and builds.
>>738218638ROGUELITE*turn your anger where it should appropriately be directedroguelitefags are a bane indeed
>>738230186I think the only weapon that's hard to answer the snipers with is the shotgun and the boomerang, and if that's the loadout you're bringing then you better be using the shotgun unique that gives you perfect accuracy on your first shot to at least rely on that. Every other weapon deals with them fine, just not as efficiently, even the minigun is surprisingly accurate at those ranges without needing to put any upgrades into its accuracy.
>>738227021A trend of people playing a game together and creating content from it isn't the jab you really think it is
>>738209827Aesthetics and feelings rule above all else when it comes to video games, and Helldivers 2 has the best feeling explosions of any game, the spectacle is simply unmatched, thus this game will never be more popular than the one its trying to ape.
it's ok, pretty bare bones right now. nothing new from the demo.
When is it actually releasing
>>738210000played the demo and my thoughts where exactly thisbecame very disappointed where it was just the same 3 skeletons and 2 robots where the counterplay was to just blam themthe gunplay feels good though and I like the aesthetics but I'm tired of early access games
>>738231919Devs said two years in early access is the plan.
Game's great, but there's not much to discuss about it, and there's no meme potential in it to carry the downtime, this thread already lasted way longer than it should have judging by past ones.
>>738210000I agree but for a different reason>I think drg is more interesting because there is much more variety in the encounters and the tools you can use.I think Cock and Stone is better because>it's a game>you can fail and there are wrong choices to make including in builds>its hordes are a meaty flood rather than a drip fed conga line>I have to choose where I run to not take damage>pathfinding actually works even if enemies attack you through thin or broken surfaces (it also feels deserved when this happens)>impactful kills; meaty>voice acting, as minimal as it is, goes a long way>more than two tracks play per level>I can't press a button and watch the game play itself, I at least have to aim the gun or grenadeIronically the levels introducing snipers and stalkers suddenly made me have to think about what I'm doing but not in a fun way.>>738218638>All the primaries feel the sameYes and no>Jokers are mostly extremely plainI can't tell if the ones you pick up stack beyond the normal limit or if they don't. I feel like I decide on a build and everything but two jokers (which I put on in the lobby to make the gun functional) affect the gun. And my friend group splits the spawned cards the exact same way every level.
>>738232824>I can't tell if the ones you pick up stack beyond the normal limit or if they don'tThey do, five Chads for example will make the trader free, or three of the joker that makes the last two bullets explosive will make the entire single revolver explosive.
Fuck Arrowhead.
>>738212335its fucking busted but better skill into ammo cap
>>738217209>Avoid the regenerating ammo jokerlazy has to be unironically the worst joker in the game
>regenerating ammo is badDoes everyone spec for firerate and not damage?It's my favorite joker
>>738240571You kinda want to spec damage and fire rate with minigun
