People over exgerrate dead games, Helldivers isn't dead... it still as an active player base, and great gameplay. We see this happen to almost all games now. You can't expect people to play the same game consisently all the time. Helldivers did have a few drawbacks though, considering what sony did.
It’s an undeniable fact that all live service games will die someday, some just die slower than others. Which is why I refuse to play a live service game that i have to pay for
@@slappyjo1046fr 40,000 players is still a lot and that’s only on steam probably closer to 100k when you add ps players if it ever comes to Xbox the hype will go right back up
The game has been teasing the Illuminate for way too long. Having only two factions to fight against got boring. Also like you said the nerfs were ridiculous. Instead of figuring out why players liked a specific gun and maybe adding flavor to other guns, they'd nerf it to bring it in-line with other less popular guns. Wut? I still occasionally play with IRL friends but I won't be back consistently until they introduce the Illuminate.
@nahfr. Well yeah, that's how games like this go. People hop back in for new content. I just think it was a mistake to launch with only two enemy factions and then to tease the third for so long. I'll still check it out but it'd have been better for the game for the black hole event to lead straight to the new faction rather than whatever is going on now.
still around 60k total players console + pc included, i still have no problem finding games at all, if you truly enjoy this game theres always people going to play it no matter what
Al’s big Junie you should know that they are a one hundred developer team and trying to do they best they are and also you should use new weakens and try stuff out and not be use what other people have the point is is to try new stuff
Its inane man. Love the game but the community takes all criticism as hate and gets mad. This game has a lot of untapped potential, and a lot of things that have gotten fixed are a result of people criticizing it
Did you guys know that this game anticipated no more that 10,000 players at launch. Meaning this game was originally planned for a smaller community anyway. I think is it stayed around 20,000 players that’s enough plus the game doesn’t need a full player base to continue to play anyway. Still a great game to keep in your back pocket for friends. But I mean if 10,000 players is dead than cod and battlefield have been dead for a long time
Even if 10k players is dead (which is not) cod and battlefield have never died, even if I hurts to say CoD and BF still sell hundreds of thousands of copiens whenever a game launches
The core gameplay loop is fun. The balance patch made a lot of weapons much better. They have added new mission types that tie into the story. I had stopped playing as I was capped on everything except level, but they have just added in a new set of ship upgrades so I am back playing. The Sony thing was a massive fumble though, HD2 is still unavailable to purchase in 177 countries, though people who did purchase can still play. Not their friends though :(
I think they should add different mission types, like invading underground bug bass missions were you invade the direct home of the bugs maybe you go there to put a nuclear bomb and then extract or get some samples or some other stuff OR boarding automatons space ships were you basically hijacked their ship and have shootouts so you can collect data or set up a bomb in their ship in the inside or rescued a important npc who plays a part of the war like a scientist or a war general Also underground missions for the automaton as well Or a missions were the bugs are like in a asteroid filled with bugs going towards a planet and you have a limited amount of time to stop this asteroid from hitting and invading the planet that belongs to super earth and if the hell divers don’t do it in time that planet is controlled by the bugs
Things that can save the game(possibly): new factions, buff weapons, add a mode with bigger map and bigger team(8 to 12 players) add a city area with some broken vehicles we could take(an idea of a human faction would be interesting but still no pvp) maybe add a light air vehicles for bigger maps, every 6 months have the game go on sale for big updates
I also hope they have more factions considering three won’t be enough likes from the first game. I hope they’ve been cooking up several more factions over the eight years of development for this game. I generally hope that this game is successful because is really damn good and personally want to see this my favorite game this year thrive in the future
they should make it where instead of wearing only one type of armor you can wear diffrent helmets, chespeices, arm braces, leggings, etc. and insead of combining passives. combining the armors result in new passives. if you wear all of one armor set then you get the passive it originally comes with.
I have no problems with fighting the same enemies for months, and the gameplay loop is inspired. I agree that the nerfs were and are ridiculously bad, the balancing was a terrible idea. But my friends and I still love hopping on and fighting for freedom, regardless of little new content.
As a fellow helldiver’ I do see the lack of content as I have all war bonds and upgrades maxed out only benefit is different store updates on armor sets. But they lost it at the 160 regions that psn locked out of the game
And what were the numbers for Suicide squad again ? Helldivers 2 will get better numbers again, devs need a vacation too, many people are talking a break as well. Live service games numbers always varies, but don't way it's over or it's dead.
Noticed massive performance issues recently. Used to run the game at a solid 165fps, but in recent months I’ve been struggling to go above 34fps. Could be why some people are quitting, such as myself, unfortunately.

People saying this shit is dead without realizing that every game falls off eventually. It doesn't matter what kind, and this game is no different. If having a reasonable amount of players (40,000 players) is considered dead then pretty much most games out there are "dead".
personally what i think will revive the game: unblock those 177 countries (yes im coping cus i cant play) and a mega update, tons of new stratagems, new weapons that arent super soakers, new enemy types for both factions maybe even the illuminates instead will revive the game as well as unblocking the countries (copium moment)
90% does sound like alot unless but if you helldivers 2 has droped to 40000 players it doesn't sound as bad Even when i play at a non prime time i still get like 5 second wait time to some players although it seems the game doesn't have different server since i all ways match up with usa players even tho im from the middle east although id say thats a net positive pretty laggy but I GET THE FULL FORCE OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY ON MY SIDE TO KILL THE ENEMIES OF SUPER EARTH

Most popular games loose about 90% of their players overtime, this is nothing special. I'd say the fact that its still having about 45k players on pc is actually pretty good still.

Eruptor quickly became my GOAT primary and after they nerfed it I began to lose interest.

Until they put some material in the game for me to spend resources on there's no reason to play.
When you have to spend 45 minutes just trying to get into a mission without crashing, disconnecting, or having to deal with gamebreaking bugs, it's an abysmal experience no matter how good the gameplay is. It regularly takes them weeks or even months to fix broken content.
