Helldivers 2 - Hell is more diverse than ever as PlayStation's demographics continue to grow and change.

After some reflecting, Arrowhead are retards but they're well meaning retards. Atleast I can turn off crossplay and it isn't hidden like in BO6 or disabled like in the BF6 PC beta and the microtransaction system is pretty good. I decided to cave in and become a pay nigger because they could've nerfed the spawn rate of credits, ban SC farmers, and make the warp pack unable to go through bunker doors, but they haven't after 1.5+ years. It's not like Payday 2 or killing floor 2.

Also, the reddit nigger penis suckers should be ignored and AH needs to be told to balance and optimize this shit once again, I'm on a 4070 with an i13 and I'm getting 10-20 fps dips whenever someone calls in an Eagle.

Their audio mixing or audio engine is absolutely fucked. Between near-silent chargers, weapons missing their sounds and fucking stuttering whenever a 500kg drops it's actually dire.

The only reason I'm so harsh and hostile towards this update is because I love this game so much and am fiercely defensive of it for that.

If you have ever been curious enough to poke around the game's sound assets to make sound mods you'll be horrified to find that every gun has like 5 - 8 different individual sounds that all play at once to make one single final gunshot sound. I haven't looked around enemy or explosion sounds but I can't imagine it's any less comically bad.

The other day, I had multiple stratagems that just, didn't proc at the end of their countdown, I presume because of lag.

I felt like a real jack ass when the bomb I called in to take out a spawner and a bunch of enemies just didn't drop, and they all proceeded to shoot me in the back as I rushed past.

Fucking extract was on a small island surrounded by water you could drown in. Hold out for 3 minutes with multiple dragonroaches overhead and the host getting fucked on by burrowing warriors. We had to go back twice to grab the stupid ass SSSD because it would despawn while trying to find a path to extract that wouldn't put you in the swimming animation.

Performance issue fix (PC only )

--use-d3d11

Shortcut argument to put in the launch options in steam under Properties -> Launch Options
Forces the game to run in DirectX11 instead of DirectX12. Better performance in general on my 3060 and fixes the freezing issues. Courtesy of some random comment I saw on the patch notes for this update on steam lol

 

[CyrusHowler]

The lore of this game is stupid, gay and retarded but the gameplay looks extremely fun and I can’t wait until my cousin and I can play duos together.
I wish it was an actual Starship Troopers game instead of a Dollar Store, Wish.com version but I can just pretend I’m a member of the Mobile Infantry.

The fat bald idiots who make the game purposely not letting you turn off cape visibility and making up lame lore reasons to justify ruining cool looking armor with retarded and ugly capes is something I wish I didn’t have to deal with.
One even said “download a mod if you don’t like it”

Idk why he and Arrowhead got a pass for that when it was the same bullshit as EA saying “don’t like it, don’t buy it” with Battlefield 5.

I played some more caves and my biggest criticism is that it's just boring. Every level plays the same with everyone playing the same way with the same loadouts. I'm already sick of it and I'm a new player.

 

[Core Theorist]

Okay, letting the servers regulate themselves or someshit and 2 days of intense jihad for super Earth, I am having much more fun this time. The rupture warriors are still mega aids but aiming low and treating them just like less retarded and faster hive-guards seems to be working. It really fucks me up bad that the MAIN FODDER of the Rupture assholes is basically just a faster armor bug with the ability to go underground for near-perfect cover until you decide to pull out explosives. Motherfucker, one or the other wasn't bad enough, they get to do the worm bullshit AND medium frontal armor? I swear, even their limbs get that shit! I've been having to aim low and try to hit the neck or shimmy around and go for the tail.

I somewhat have to agree. It's a nice change of pace and I think I'll continue to get some enjoyment out of it, but it's hopefully going to get some changes or updates as the operation goes on.

I'm learning to really hate dragon roaches. Even outside of the desync between hitboxes and visuals with its breath I feel like they're insanely difficult to take down for how often they show up. They're a winged bile titan but they're extremely difficult to hit. The rail cannon is a solution for them like most heavies but it's iffy on when it decides they're in range. I've had it lock onto chaff units or otherwise not move when they were definitely within 20m unless it means from the ball and not the point itself vertically. The Spear/WASP and emancipator suits are the only way to hit them but they're not really a guaranteed kill like chargers/titans where a recoilless or spear 9/10 times to the head kills, because the roach will stop to spew and then be gone in like two seconds which is a hard window when you're swarmed.

Arrowhead from my understanding don't care as much about people buying SC, I think the CEO or someone high up said that it's fine if people don't buy the Credits since they made a fuck ton of money just from selling copies of the game. Along with that, they changed the game intentionally so you could pick up Credits and samples in bunkers with the Control Group update with the idea that people will warp into them with the pack. Even if the game is in a shit state (specifically on PC, the size is just unforgivable) it's one of the most fun games that I've played in years and Arrowhead aren't directly hostile to their player base so I don't mind supporting it by buying Credits every now and then.

So why don't you go play the starship troopers game made by the same studio that made squad?

Nobody plays it because it lost to Helldivers 2. I was one of the people who first chose Extermination over Helldivers and I feel like a retard for doing that initially.

Music works the same way in the game, by the way. Opening them up on Audacity shows that songs have like 4 tracks making up one song or stinger, it's insane.

 

[Back me up!]

New warbonds is out, been hearing a ton of good things about the various weapons



The coyote is apparently the new hotness that works great on both the Bug and Illuminate. The spear gun is basically precision gas strike AND since its heavy pen you can one shot Hulks if you hit their head weapon spot. Basically a slightly weaker rail gun that has added CC.

The big looser appears to be the new nade.

Thanks fam.

I logged back in for the first time in forever to grind some Super Credits and was noticing the game was running like complete ass. It started doing a bit better after playing a mission or two, but damn it was bad lol

 

[Post Reply]

I can confirm the expendable napalm is lots of fun.

This mf doesn't understand what the symbol of Super Earths elite stands for.

Send him to the Cybernigger mines.

I'm amazed the AR-2 has med pen, 45 round mags, and has good afterburn damage. I also bought the Big Game Hunter super store armor so I can commit jihad on the terminds.

Oh don't worry, to make up for it they nerfed the missile silo and made it only have 40 demo instead of 50.

So now it can't even blow up jammers.

Because unfortunately, that game isn’t very good.
I’d love it if it stomped Helldivers 2 into the dirt but cool lore/bad gameplay doesn’t beat gay lore/good gameplay.

Sorry that I’m not a moron.

You’re welcome to try.
