I saw a post where everyone was review bombing the game, which is so dumb b/c you know they were all still playing it

I honestly don't see the big deal. It took me five mins to create a PSN account.

Yeah, it now sits at mixed (65%) on steam with recent reviews at mostly negative (32%).

I do now there are some countries where people can't create a psn account as it is blocked or their countries doesn't have psn availability.

That I 100% understand why those people would
Be upset. Sony need to make exceptions for those people tho

My wife has been out of town transporting a foster dog so i've had a lot of HD time lately and holy smokes this game is so fun!

Currently doing hard (5) and so many awesome intense moments nearly every play session. Love it!

FOR DEMOCRACY!

Time to go suicide so you can start getting those super rares while serving up some liber-tea

Tried this today with a bunch of random higher levels vs bots and it did not end happily! Those tanks are rough. It was one of those rescue missions which I don't like anyway.

Oh and the steam review bombing is ridiculous. So dumb

Yeah, tanks are tough. The giant walkers are worse

I didn't have too much trouble with them. I'm working on an autocannon mission so the taller bots I could pick off. The low profile tanks gave me issues. Although I did get some bounces with AC, I need to find their soft spots.

I don't think you're talking about the same thing. He is talking about the factory striders which is a beast to take down. They are like the AT-AT from Star wars.

Last night it felt like the difficulty levels were all messed up. Level 7 missions were a much bigger struggle than normal and I dropped down to a level 5 mission and had 4 bile titans and 5 chargers dropped on us at extraction. Wtf

You are correct I was talking about the big bulky flamethrower guys with the glowing back packs.

The Hulks!

The difficulty seems weird to me as well , 8 seemed easier than 7s. Where one 7 kill bugs blitz we had a titan every wave.

It seems that the extracts are getting swarmed much more now.

Which wouldn't necessarily bother me except some maps have extract points that are completely indefensible and I had one where titan after titan and charger after charger were spawning right at extract. It was nuts. Pelican got so damaged it either left or something and we had to wait for it to try a second time and this was the level 5 mission.

Is it still worth it? This game was boring af 3 weeks after launch. Same gameplay loop forever. This game was never up for GOTY right?

My son and his buddies told me about this game shortly after it launched. I've been playing a few times per week and having so much fun. I recently dinged lvl 43. Been doing suicide missions, trying to collect enough samples to max out my destroyer. I've opened up the options to do helldiver level but haven't done one yet.
The suicide missions aren't "that" hard with a good crew.I almost always run with randoms and probably have a 2/3 good experience. Made a few ps friends and if those guys are on, the mission always runs smoother.

Impressive level 43 just a few times a week!

I play 3 missions a session and that's about 60-90 min.

I'm just surprised by how few players use microphones. Makes it so much more fun when other players are chatting.

Especially when they drop an orbital barrage on your position...like, how about a heads up, man

I play with a buddy on hard and hadn't played in a couple of weeks. We fired it up yesterday, and dadgum. I don't know if the bugs got bumped or what, but trying to evac off Hellmire with 3 chargers and 5 fire tornados converging on the landing zone is some BS.

Im barely up to suicide mission. Game is pretty fun, but I get it -- need to play with buddies for the most fun.

I'm about to the point of TK'ing people that run the 380 barrage. It's the worst stratagem. Somehow it leaves everything you want demo'd standing but manages to TK at least one or two divers since it's range is stupid big and lasts for way too long.

On the other end of the spectrum, my fav is the people who obviously are not very familiar with the orbital airburst and run into the kill zone after the first blast not realizing that there is going to be 2 more coming shortly after. My favorite things in this game are the orbital airburst on a bug breach and shooting a nuke as I'm making a tactical retreat and killing 100+ enemies in one shot. So satisfying.

Hellmire is the worst

I was playing around with that barrage yesterday and the radius is stupid big. I tossed it a good 100 meters from the extraction and still got some TKs.

Glad to know it wasn't just me who underestimated it!

Also just FYI...apparently resupply stratagems stick to your squadmates. I was needing a resupply while we were on the move to next objective and tossed one way out in front of me. Managed to hit one guy while he was full sprint. Luckily we discovered that if you time it correctly, you can dive out of the way of the pod just before it hits ground and kills you.

I love the orbital airburst now, since they nerfed my quasar cannon. My squadmates, however, do not love it so much.

When did that start? Haven't seen it

I've seen s verbal videos of this happening, always on accident of course.

Anything else Automaton propaganda

Can someone explain to me why this is such a big deal? It took all of two seconds to link my steam to PS when i first installed it.

IMO, it isn't a big deal, but it is nice to see the big corp bow down to market pressure and not just run over the audience they want money from.
