    Not only is the game fun and good, but the developers actually listen and talk to the fans. The CEO even responded to a tweet on how someone wanted the game but can't afford it and said not to buy it yet because he didn't want them to play the game when it was unplayable
    Definitely great to see this

      That is not quite true as there are about 15 Thousand players thatare haveing an issue where the game wont even launch on pc (completly Separate from server issues. this is a game code issue(its to do with winLicence) and they have been ingnoring the players we have been asking since the launch on the 8th for this to be fix but yet the stroe is being updated everyday (guess haveing a broken game isant a big issue but makeing money is)
      I know im going to get hate for this but for the love of god we need to stop praseing game studios for Releasing a buggy broken mess of a game that players cant even play and yet still keep selling the game and makeing Millions but yet wanting a game studio to give us a finished Product that works
      Why is it now a days yoy need to have a Degree in computer science and coding just to get a game to work necause the devs cant get it together and fix this buggy mess
      There reeally need to shut the game down and fix it then bring it back its not thay hard because the longer this goes on the more hate the team will get untill the fix the major issues

      @@blazegamer9896 They need to shut a multi-platform game down because SOME PC players can't play? Lol no.
      It seems to me that their number one priority is the server capacity, not some bad PC optimization, especially given that the game is a port. Also I got the game on PC and it runs fine, I assume the problem is optimizing a game to run well on all the million different ways PCs operate.
      And it feels like you need a degree in computer science to run this game because that is the risk you take for having a PC. I've been a PC player since the age of 7 and sometimes my PC will not work on games that are praised for being polished and it will run fine for messed up games, gotta troubleshoot problems to make anything work on PC. This is the deal we got with PC, if you don't like it get a console which is guaranteed to work.

    What I think contributed a lot to the game's success was its background lore. Although it could have seemed cheesy, its humour and culture of the Helldivers (and other factions) just hits right. It is something you get slightly over the more you play, but it's the initial hook. Also the first drop-pod sequence was a chef's kiss imo.

    First Helldivers is basically the same game, but it's twin-stick top-down shooter. It has a ton more content steadily added over time.
    From what I read Helldivers 2 will take the same route: new enemy faction(s), mechs, weapons, stratagems, events, missions e.t.c.
    Concept of ongoing galactic war is perfect for life service game.
    Also good monetization model: reasonable prices, ability to get currency casually playing, no FOMO, timed daily checkboxes.

I've been playing on PS5 and pretty sure it's running smoother on there. Wicked excited for when they incorporate the enemies from the first one and you get to use mech suits.
    And the Super Credits you can find pretty abundantly in the world's or with medals. Unless you have FOMO and not enough time to play but I have been able to buy almost everything I wanted in the super store and know soon they'll come back so not too worried.

    Helldivers 2 and Starfield, I believe, are heavily inspired (illegitimate) children of the Mass Effect trilogy. However, both functioned in their differing ways and were met with varying waves of acclaim and disinterest.
    Starfield promised expansiveness, Helldivers delivered on a good time.
    Starfield promised immersiveness, Helldivers delivered on coming home after a long day of work or school and coming on to fight an intergalactic war against bugs, aliens and cybernetic humans.

      The trick is to focus down the Operations.
      When you go to select missions you first select the operation.
      On higher difficulties a single operation can have 2-3 missions in an area.
      To advance in difficulty you need to complete all missions in an operation. If you only do one or two but don't do the other one and skip to a new AO, you won't unlock the next level difficulty. Make sure you focus down all missions in an operation in a single session to unlock the next tier.
      Also, make sure you're the one hosting for your friends. Even if they grumble it's a surefire way to make sure you're getting the difficulty settings unlocked.

    I think the game needs a balance patch fast to keep the community together and not toxic. The “meta chaser” vs “off meta” is already clearly dividing people. Weapons like the breaker and Railgun are so far ahead of every other weapon in the game and there really should be some buffs to other weapons. I’ve already gotten flamed in group lobbies for not using the Breaker (bc I find it boring).
    The best example of what this game could become is Deep Rock Galactic. No defined meta, all weapons and abilities are 100 percent viable on the end game difficulty. Deep rock has maintained the best coop shooter community of any game I’ve ever played and I hope this game follows Ghost Ship’s lead.
