I'm thinking of picking up Helldivers 2 on sale. Is it still good? Should I buy the deluxe edition?
it's fun if you're just an NPC who's gonna play the easy difficulties and never explore the endgame
Don't buy it. It's very predatory regarding its battle pass
Really fun game when you dont got a doomer bitch in your faceMaybe get the normal version and see how you feel
>>740285256A lot of meta weapons are behind warbonds but thankfully you can farm super creditsDeluxe edition only gives you ugly armor, one token to redeem a warbond and a P90 which was outclassed by another, only get deluxe on sale and get control group so you can farm SC fast
>>740285256Please don't give Arrowhead any money. If you have to, buy the cheapest edition and join a Chinese hacker lobby to cheat 50k super credits for yourself so you will never have to worry about new warbonds again.Don't link any accounts to HD2 especially no sony account. They use these to moderate and ban players. If you're steam only and never link anything they literally can't ban you - yes they're that incompetent.
>>740286130Don't listen to this anon. Never farm super credits, just join a cheater lobby ajd have him cheat super credits for you.
>>740285661Playing both sides for this take; swiggers took a hint and said they will put more content behind major orders instead of goybonds and super shekels can be farmed unlike some premium currency in gachaslop and other live service gamesI blame chinks and tencent
>>740285256Get it, it is plenty fun, devs are mega giga raped tard sweeds who outsource their game to jeets. Do what >>740286396 says, you can usually find them on any planet, look for missions ongoing in d1(lowest difficultly) on the planet that have been going on for a long time, usually also being done by a high level player.
>>740286883won't you get banned?
>>740286924They can't ban you unless you were dumb enough to link an account.
>>740285256It was good, but retarded devs try to make it a "hardcore experience" and nerf all the fun guns leaving you with 1-2 viable builds on higher difficulty (which gives disproportionately more rewards)
>>740285256One of the best coop shooters ever made if you like third person coop shooters. Mechanically the game is very solid. Good feedback on the weapons, stratagems (the abilities you call in) and some of the best designed enemies of any coop game ever. You'll be changing your loadouts every mission not because you have to but because you want to, and the game is plenty balanced for you to use whatever you want. The downside is that about 40% of the games content (in terms of guns) are locked in warbonds (DLC) which you could in theory earn in-game but realistically you would buy. However the upside of this is they're popular, almost all good and the game gets updates every 40 days and major updates every 120 days because people support it with the DLC. Worst part of the game is the online communities here and everywhere which are all filled with retards who claim everything about the game is bad or dying or some other made up crap. In-game though its fine, you can coop with randoms and have fun. Easy to find matches and about 200k players on major updates.
They managed to place a game at the exact worst spot where it is both a total fucking snoozefest if you have your head screwed on straight but is also extremely frustrating with bugs, broken mechanics, and an utterly massive amount of wasted potential.
>>740287045Nah
>>740285256it not worth it, the game is in the worst state its ever been and I cant even imagine trying to catch up 20 battle passes that seems like actual torture
>>740287206>battle passesThey're not battle passes. They're DLC which are optional and you can easily finish in a day.
>>740287165They have admitted live on stream that they are incapable of making the game harder because the audience has now taken it as a given that they can clear d10 despite being retarded. So any attempt to raise it outside of events limited in time and scale will cause a revolt from the gamerdads.
>>740287263you buy it and then grind for the content thats the definition of a battle pass
>>740287439No it isn't. Because battle passes are predatory as fuck and always have a way to buy all the content. They also have linear rankings so you have to grind through everything to get to anything good. You can unlock a whole warbond in a day or less and ignore half of it too.
>>740287392No they didn't and D10 is hard enough. Most people couldn't even finish the spore missions.
>>740287439Battle passes are always seasonal. Warbonds are not.
>>740286924Never heard of anyone getting banned for cheating in credits let alone just being a lobby with a cheater.>t. cheated in 25k credits in a couple months ago and still playing
>>740286924Not physically possible and they simply don't care
>>740287635WRONG.
>>740288298>ESL subtitles
>>740285256>Is it still good?not reallythey're in desperation mode after the community has had enough of their shit, game is full of broken features and way too many shitty bugs to even list at this pointgenuinely wish i put the time spent playing it toward anything else
>>740286973Skill issue.
>>740285256It's just okay. Game is too buggy and retarded for me to continue playing but it was partially tolerable because I cheated in 60-80k SC. Deluxe edition is a genuine waste of money so don't bother.>>740288416>he doesn't knowhttps://youtu.be/SbucfTBbU5s?t=83
>>740287692They care though. They've been trying to patch SC cheating for months now. They're just dogshit at anything they do. It took these retards to develop HD2 btw.>>740287439It's even worse.>grind for SC>grind even more to actually unlock white paint skinYou make less than minimum wage just farming SC with the most optimal non-cheat farming method too.
Still good? It never was.
>>740286435This, + they've now added weapons to the superstore, which means that you don't have to buy an entire warbond just to get that single weapon you want.
>>740285256Pretty fun, I've played about twelve or thirteen hours thus far
>>740289369>removing derivative content from derivative warbonds to place in the derivative store so the actual cost to buy everything now is more like 1500SC per warbondlol
