How is the Helldivers community these days? I had so much fun with that one before the whole PSN debacle. It kinda killed the vibe for me at the time and I have since moved on to other things, but I was so surprised how much a third-person online shooter sucked me in at this point in my life.
Games playerbase is like, less than half what it was on Steam. Arrowhead has put out like 3 or 4 "apology" letters about "we hear your feedback, we will fix stuff" but its like, how many times you gonna say that? You know?
I haven't played for a while. Last I played, the bots spawn rate was too high when only two people loaded into a 4-5 star mission. They said they put out an update so I played to check, and they actually made it worse. Maybe it has improved since, but I haven't been back to check.
They just put another one out last week.
The fact that they're still apologizing for not listening to the player base and then going ahead and just not listening to the player base really doesn't fill me with confidence.
I remember just a handful of months ago when everyone was saying how "helldivers is already game of the year"
Lmao how the mighty has fallen
They just added a bunch of new missions, planet modifiers, and ship call downs, which was a pleasant surprise. Also, there is a lot of speculation that they're going to introduce the third enemy race pretty soon, so if you were enjoying it before, now might not be a bad time to dip your toe back in the pool.
I have considered it a few times and I even have Helldivers installed still, buuuut I'm balls deep in my first run of Elden Ring right now and I haven't even hit the DLC yet, so 🤷♂️.
Ah, well I'm sure it will still be here if/when you escape from Elden Ring. Have fun!
We easily fill with friends so its a blast. We have a group we’ve been playing with for over 15 years when we need more than 2
