What went so wrong?

>>738237839>>738237857
Yet another case of devs having no fucking clue what they want the game to be.
Shitters are just angry because they're too proud to lower the difficulty
>>738237839Developers can't tell the difference between hard and obnoxious AP4 hive guards aren't hard they're just annoying for cucking guard dogs and MG sentries Spore titans aren't hard they are just an AT check when 6 crawl out of the same bug breach and have extra head HPForced deaths from malicious code governing sentry friendly fire and ragdoll impact damage don't enhance difficulty, especially since you get 20+ respawns, they just feel bad
>>738237839What happened this time?
>>738237839>What went so wrong?Nothing. I don't know what the Chinese are triggered about but i'm playing the game and having fun.

>>738237839swedecucks accidentally made a good game and been trying to fix it ever since
>>738238267Sounds just like the original helldivers.
>>738237839awful devs who fluked into a decent game but ruined it
Never played it but from my understanding it was a core dad game which over time got rebalanced to oblivion to cater to high-skill, hardcore players who generally don't give a shit about a 4 player coop game with no esports tournaments/ranked/leaderboards.
>>738238115Wait, are people getting filtered by the upgraded bugs strain? LMAO! I am literally leveling my weapons there. How can people be so bad at videogames?
>>738238267See, this here is a faggot that is bad at the videogames.>there are mines>there are rocket and autocannon centries>there is the arc coil>faggot cries that one turret stopped being as effectiveYou people are niggercattle. You are worthless trash. If you are so bad at the videogame just lower the difficulty.
>738238498YAWNWhy are you so boring?
>>738237839They kept flip-flopping between making the game they wanted to make and catering to retards who wanted something completely different.
>>738238585YWNBAWWhy you so bad at videogames?
>>738238498Don't they imprison people for racism over there, Sven?
>>738237839Take that, fascism!
>>738238325I like the big city map that makes it impossible to control your hellpod. It's really fun and awesome when your maneuverability upgrade does fuck all.
>>738238413The game was broken at launch with difficulty that could range from stupidly easy to insanely hard depending on if you had cross play enabled or not. They did all their first balance passes during the first months where gameplay bugs caused players to 1-shot the strongest enemies. They also liked to nerf entire groups of weapons right before releasing dlc for the same class of weapon. Why they made flamers useless on the flamethrower dlc patchday I'll never understand. They walked that one back pretty fucking fast after getting super review bombed.
>>738238498>>738238498>minestake a long time to set up and enemies aren't guaranteed to walk over them>rocket, autocannonrocket will destroy itself once it gets jumpedautocanon is not able to deal with chaff, gets overwhelmed easily>coilis actually decent, but it likes to chain to teammates and will get fucked by bigger stuffalso remember that they nerfed the hp of all armored stategems to equal out mech hp buffsi didn't really mind the change to heavy armor as bugs were already kinda mindless, having to aim a little is already a good change in my bookBut then MG/HMG turrets become yet another piece of equipment that arrowhead has decided to make completely useless.All they had to do was to make turrets prioritize targets they can actually destroy.
>>738238267You know I'd argue you could make all of this work with a competent developer giving a shit. Imagine an AP4 hive guard that would get staggered by bullet impacts / surpressed. Maybe he'd imobilize himself and act like a shield for softer bugs until its armour is broken? And if sufficient hits could strip away and eventually destroy armour from everything.What if instead of propelling themselves at you at mach 5 the new speeder bugs would slowly ramp up speed with a clear functional audio cue? What if you could make them fall over and stumble with stun grenades or when shooting them?All I see is ideas for fun and great enemy interactions but we get the tedious Temu version instead.
>>738237839I hate steamies so much it's unreal sage
>>738237839This game is so fucking boring and such a waste of time. play the game for 5 hours and youve seen it all, play the game for 100 hours to earn the 7% eagle rearm speed! Read a book
>>738237839It was made and killed off infinitely more kino Helldivers 1
>>738239496>Read a bookName a single good book
>>738238325This is how Overwatch died
>>738239402Armour striping mechanics on everything and giving players more ammo could save the game honestly.
>>738239620>Name a single good bookThe Bible.
>>738239620Pokémon red/blue strategy guide. The included 151 stickers were the cherry on top.
>>738239712It really needs a remake
I had a blast with this game when it came out. Played it for half a year. Eventually I just hit a wall and i immediately stopped caring about it. I downloaded it again when they added the aliens and it was cool for a few days, but overall the game just lacks content. Once you've seen the massive bugs and blown a few up there's just nothing left to do. Running around looking for samples, blowing up a few buildings, destroying hives it's just all the same shit. I'd push through if the community challenges made a difference but they don't. They love to pretend they have big plans, lore matters and community performance changes the climate of the game, but none of that is true.
>>738238115Calm down zoe, dilate.
>>738239402it would be cool if he became supressed, put his shield up and start walking slower while other bugs try to hide behind him
>>738239701>>738239963See? It would just need a competent studio thst gives a shit. Now you get it.
>>738239845 That’s because there *is* nothing left. The “live service war effort” is just a treadmill with different colored backdrops. You realize at some point you’re not liberating planets, you’re just rolling the same 6 objectives with a different skybox while the devs nudge percentages behind the curtain.The aliens update proved it too. New faction, cool aesthetic, different weakspots… and after 3 ops you’ve already solved them. There’s no emergent depth, no new systems, just “shoot glowing part until it dies” again. The illusion cracks once you see the spawn director is basically vibes-based.Community objectives not actually changing anything is the real killer. If we win? Scripted victory. If we lose? Also scripted. Might as well be playing a singleplayer game with fake Twitch chat scrolling at the top.It’s a fun 50–100 hour arcade shooter pretending to be a forever war MMO. Once that clicks, uninstalling feels natural.
>>738237839>the supposedly player-driven war is so obviously railroaded by the devs that even the average gamer dad realized it by now>said war hasn't rewarded anything cool in over a year because stratagems are part of the 10 dollarino battelpasses instead of being earned>every patch introduces new bugs while failing to fix bugs that have been in the game for 2 years>objectives can randomly break>zero endgame progression>schizo balancing by devs that don't understand their own game and must counter every buff with a nerf>CCO AMA blackpilled the community by basically stating"we know what you want, but we don't care. we just wanna print money with warbonds">general game is still janky and broken as fuck, getting stuck in geometry or falling through the world still happens
>>738237839Sweggers don't playtest their own games, or rather they only do it on babby difficulties and extrapolate from there
