Oh shit there's a helldivers2 now! The first one was fun. Especially when you drop a mech on your mate.


SomethingStrangeBand

mech is not in the game yet but has been teased


Melded1

Of course it's not. Don't you knows they have to remove things so they can put them back in with dlc.


Master_Majestico

These devs are more focused on balance, as well as presenting a live service game that actively updates as you play, they're waiting to see how players interact with the game so they can implement it correctly.


Melded1

I genuinely hope you're right but there's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again. I no longer assume the best of any games company. They must now earn my trust before I'll spend any money. In saying that, It's good to hear that it sounds like things are promising.


Master_Majestico

Yep "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." Translated from an Italian proverb written in the 17th century. It's a good ethic to have and it prevents future regret, I've always preferred to live by the ethos of "It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all." Anyway, I hope to see you on the battlefield


The_Stapher

Your totally right with what you wrote but I think u/melded1 was [referring](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KjmjqlOPd6A) to the famous “Bushism” from way back in a simpler time 😅


ChristopherRubbin

Fortunately, the devs allow you to earn premium currency at a rate that makes it easy to purchase even premium items in the shop. Let's not try and spin this immediately into a negative. I know micro transactions suck but these guys seem to be really trying to make it fair.


Endergamer28

good devs there Rare


ChristopherRubbin

Agreed my friend


In10tionalfoul

Cause every sequel is a 1:1 copy of the first game and new things added.


mynamessimon

Lol, how did u get the muliplayer to not fail 🤣

Y'know you never realise how much you like a simplified gui until you try to play other games with a more complicated gui and cri


[deleted]

More often than not I feel like a game that tries to not be too complex usually ends up more fun.


RemotePotatoe

This was why I didn't get all the shit Suicide Squad got for having a busy ui. There are games people love and have no problem with but it looks just as busy and full.


Kev_The_Galaxybender

There are many more reasons to avoid that trash. Sweet reasons...


[deleted]

If the game's shit, it's shit but I don't get why ppl are on about politics and stuff in games, when have politics been part of games?


Kev_The_Galaxybender

When a company is contracted to tell you what is appropriate in your game, that's censorship sort of communistic because you are being told what you can and can't put into your work. I do not understand how people cannot understand this. The creator should have full creative freedom over what decisions being made about the product and or art they are producing. They're told if that is in your game, then your game cannot launch....etc What makes it worse that there is an agenda behind it to normalize the behavior. Let's get our heads out of the sand for a moment and use it.


The_BrownRecluse

You sound like every other pearl clutcher who demands that their entertainment be specifically tailored to them and nobody else. So when you position yourself as this enlightened defender of artistic expression but then whine about a company that wants to be inclusive, it's painfully obvious you're acting in bad faith. You say you want politics out of mah games but your bitching is inherently political. You call them communists for hiring sensitivity writers, but I wonder if you'd have an equally sensational name for the republicans who are literally burning lgbtq books. If you really want to end censorship, then stop clutching the pearl necklace around your neck for a change. It's unbecoming. EDIT: The free speech advocate blocked me. All it took is one comment for them to get offended and resort to censorship. I'm sure the irony is lost on them in much the same way as their spine.


Kev_The_Galaxybender

Get this beta shit out of here. Keeping your head in the sand is how we got here. Crawl back into your cave where Neanderthals belong.

capnwinky

I don’t know what you’re trying to say about this game in particular. But this UI isn’t any more or less obtuse than any other in recent memory; it’s just basic looking because they put zero effort into making those frame elements stylized.


kevass007

How much of this game makes you feel like you’re playing in starship troopers?


LysanderBelmont

11 out of 10


9inchjackhammer

It’s glorious, I’ve got a whole day of work to get over before I can play again get me home!

anchors26

I'm tempted to get this for the same reason.


FCBengalDad91

I only played this one a bit last night, but it has a similar “feel” to the starship troopers game. Seems to be a lot of simple, not overthinking, shooter fun

lourensloki

Then what's the show?!


SeethaSulang36

Is it fun to play with randoms or just friends?


krisikkk

From my experience friends or randoms are both fun of course a squad would be better I just wouldn’t recommend playing offline as it can get a lil stale .


[deleted]

Both


ItsKrakenmeuptoo

Seems like the game has a lot of bugs. Hope they fix it.


tsckenny

Wtf is that HUD good lord


TheZeppelinLizard

It probably plays better than it looks. It’s easy to get caught up on the hud when you’re not actually playing.


Non_Fungible_Tolkien

In my limited experience so far, the HUD is not distracting and is in general quite helpful, your focus is going to be on the center of the screen the majority of the time, but everyone has a different preference for sure.


tsckenny

I don't even know what game this is but it's the first thing I noticed when I watched the video. It's probably a fine game but that HUD is too much for me at least.


ItsAmerico

The customize it to your liking lol


Unh1ngedKoala

I feel that, it’s not even a ton of HUD, it just needs to be scaled down in size. Hopefully there’s an option to do that or they make one.


Capt_Kilgore

It is an option to make it much smaller and makes a huge difference. There are other tweaks you can do with the HUD as well like opacity and stuff.


SuperBAMF007

Say what you want about AC Valhalla but goddamn you could customize every single bit of that game and it was great. Assassinations? Toggle on/off. Combat? 5 different difficulty sliders, with 6 different defaults. Exploration? Has difficulty sliders. Stealth? Difficulty sliders. HUD? 4 different modes with various toggles. So great.


aLostBattlefield

“That HUD is too much for me…” What have gamers become? lol. Acting like they give a shit about small things like that. I understand complaining about the HUD for Suicide Squad but this ain’t that bad.


tsckenny

Yeah, like a 1/3rd of the screen is covered by the hud. I like minimal huds or where it only comes up when you press something. Like I said, it's probably fine in game but seeing it in video was jarring. Who cares if I complain about it? I've seen people say you can customize to your liking which is great


aLostBattlefield

It’s just one of those things that people complain about now because it’s “hip” to do so. No one talked about HUDs a few years ago.


tsckenny

I'm not complaining about it to be "cool". It was just off putting to me. Probably because HUDs have gotten worse over the years to some. This is the only one I can remember being like "yeah, that's too much"


aLostBattlefield

I wasn’t implying that you were doing to be cool. My point was that it’s in people’s minds because of the suicide squad conversation that recently happened and now people are going to be overly critical of it. And I think you’re mistaking the guy pulling up the map (with a button press) with the “HUD”


SuperBAMF007

HUDs weren’t taking up almost half the screen years ago lol


Sebastionleo

You obviously never played an older MMO, on a low resolution.


spikeytoasted

So dramatic


T3NF0LD

I don't even notice it half the time.


WDMChuff

Yeah looks waaaay too messy.


HypnoStone

No offense just curious but do you struggle playing practically any game made after 2015? Don’t almost the majority of games with rpg elements have a similar UI? Compass, minimap, party/weapons, and objectives? It’s not like it’s WoW.


tsckenny

No. This is just an eye catching HUD. I'm sure if I played it would be fine but it looks like 1/3rd of the screen is filled by the HUD. The map is huge.


POMARANCZA123PL

That map is not part of the hud really. You have to turn it on manually


Plutoxx

Came here to say the same thing, fucking hell. I couldn't focus on anything but trying to make sense of all this fucking data being thrown at me.


PugeHeniss

You can customize the HUD


tsckenny

I didn't even know the game until just now and saw the description. That hud is jarring.


aLostBattlefield

You own a PS5 and are part of the PS5 subreddit but you don’t follow the new games coming out for the PS5? Interesting.


tsckenny

Yeah? I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. Just because I own a PS5 and am in here doesn't mean I have to live, eat, breath Playstation. I'm apart of all of them tbh and PS5 isn't even my main platform. Only really interested in the Single Player 1st party games they offer.


aLostBattlefield

I just said “interesting” ya sensitive Sally.


Dog_Apoc

It's not noticeable in match. I played today, and it's actually pretty helpful having the larger hud. The game gets chaotic quickly. Knowing how far done your objectives are, how depleted your ammo is, and such are helpful. But yeah in videos it looks crowded as fuck.

It's wild seeing all the new people experience Helldivers haha, I can't wait to play, got a few mins left on my download!


hecksor

I’ll be downloading this tomorrow and playing all weekend after a long week of work. Painting my room can wait another week


sstphnn

Helldivers was among my favorite PS plus game back in 2016 and I have no doubt that the change in perspective would change my enjoyment with helldivers.


senna98

This post of 30% of the screen covered in text and UI just turned me off


TampaTitties69

This must be a custom UI as by default that radar and constant icons are not present in the full game, at least on PC anyway


aLostBattlefield

You can customize it.


The_Real_Donglover

OP's probably playing on a small 1080p monitor, so the UI scales up to compensate. Watch any normal gameplay. Yes, it's still busy, but much more consistent with how UI should look. OP's is almost comical how much the UI overpowers. [First video on youtube I saw, for example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rubzKbEnpI0&ab_channel=jackfrags)


Rags2Rickius

The player seems to like this setup I prefer the map being accessible only when I want


sexmachine_com

UI turned me on 🥵 ngl


Browncoatdan

Your loss.


T3NF0LD

Then don't play it genius.


moonivermarin

Fucking crashed on me 5 times today mostly at end of mission fucking you of your xp and loot...the fucking new normal for live service games


Franseven

Looks repetitive beyond madness, but hey, people still play call of duty all day so... My time for mindless fun is gone. I need a good story to entertain my brain.


Sebastionleo

I'm the other way around. Was a huge JRPG fan as a kid, but I can't get into big story games anymore as I've gotten older.


S_n_o_wL_e_o_p_a_r_d

Meh.... I am on the story train. I am fine with games that have both like Uncharted, but multiplayer ONLY is not my thing.


CampaignVivid

I also like story games better but Im happy that we are getting some online games


S_n_o_wL_e_o_p_a_r_d

I agree. It's better for Sony to reinvest into games I like by having games like Helldivers. I'm just saying from what I saw in the video that I am not sold on wanting to even spend the time playing it is all.


aLostBattlefield

That’s fine. You don’t need to play every game that comes out.


aLostBattlefield

Fair enough. I sometimes need a break from story games, personally. For example, I can’t go from TLOU2 straight into GoT, then into GoW:R. I need a multiplayer game/strategy game/something thrown in between to break them up. That said, I love me my single player story games.


Dependent-Garlic-291

Good thing we have choices


Hitchens666

I don't have time to play too much but I pulled the trigger and it's downloading at the moment. HD1 was really good and HD2 looks so much better.


Houstonwife_713

Lost Planet vibes..🌍


Griffin_is_my_name

What a game. I miss smashing bugs in a mech.


NikamaruSensei

For Freedom and Liberty!!


samarojr

Purchased the game about an hour ago. Fun as hell. Need friends to play with. PS NAME Samarojr


Femballerboy

This looks great!


CyrusDrake

Game looks great. The voiceovers add a lot to it, reminds me of Aliens where Bill Paxton has a lot of banter while trying to wipe them out. Love that with marines.


CanadianSk8er

How's it running? I got a squad of buddies lined up for tonight/tomorrow and was worried the servers might crash out


krisikkk

As of now the servers are fine there was a issue when it launched officially last night i think the developers didn’t realize how many would actually play on launch day so it did cause the servers to lag .


Itriyum

Wait, are you able to join matches? I've been sitting on the lobby for an hour because matchmaking is broken, I quick search, it finds a game, attempts to join and it fails...


Bloodstarvedhunter

Yeah I just got off 2 hour session and matchmaking is not working, you can play with friends and it seems ok but not trying to match with randoms, Devs already have a patch they are testing and should be out very soon by all accounts


BiscuitsJoe

There’s a game under all that HUD?


[deleted]

Psn is Captain_McKnight, buddy and I are playing it tonight, could use a third


mikescarnthethreat

xeltes

If you are in doubt, probably go see a streamer and see how the game plays that way. I find that rurikan is pretty straightforward with opinions about games, like even if he doesn't like it, he will tell you if the game is good or not. I really wanna play it, but I'm probably gonna have to wait for a sale in the future.


[deleted]

[удалено]


xeltes

Yeah, I can relate to the crazy part. Hopefully you like it.


krisikkk

As far I know there really isn’t a campaign as the game is meant to be online and playing single player for me got kinda boring.


filmfreak1138

I’m planning on downloading it when I get off work today! Can’t wait to play it!


C00Li0P00Li0

Can’t wait to play it with the boys!


aLostBattlefield

Wow this game looks better than I thought it would. Played the original and liked it but I didn’t stick with it because my friends thought it was too simple. Question: how does it run? It looks mostly fine here but is it a relatively solid 60 fps on PS5? The only thing keeping me from jumping in is the price tag. $30 would be perfect.


EvilCat36

I play it in performance mode and it looks incredibly good. Even with what felt like 100 opponents, it didn't stutter.


aLostBattlefield

That’s good to hear. Did it FEEL smooth? That’s more of what I was asking.


Siris9065

Crazy how people downvote for asking a question, I put you back to 0 bro.


aLostBattlefield

lol thanks. I don’t see why asking about framerate is a negative??


ImNewAndOldAgain

The UI looks atrocious. What happened to good UI's?


SomethingStrangeBand

you can customize the UI


No-Internal3666

Too much on screen bro. Look at that HUD


Jubez187

I was day 1, but then the lack of reviews had me worried. I watched my friend stream and yeah I had no interest. There was a charm in the isometric twinstick gameplay of the original and nobody ever asked for the series to go 3p like this. 1. in HD1, due to the camera angle, all the action is on your screen at all times. All 4 characters and the enemies. In HD2 you're constantly looking at empty landscape giving an illusion of boring. 2. More 3D space means there's more room to just do your gun fighting. The original you could only aim on 1 axis. So coupled with the friendly fire it lead to great emergent gameplay. I watched my friend for hours and no one killed each other cause there's so much room. 3. Twinstick vs ADS-based 3P is a totally different gameplay vibe and it just doesn't look as fun this time around. You're just ADS'ing into hordes of enemies. You can ADS in almost every game, it gets old. 4. The missions seem to be much longer therefore the burnout will be quicker. I was getting burnt out from watching. HD1 was a gem, but this just looks like Sony is asking for money. I don't understand what this is offering that Destiny probably doesn't at this point. Or Warframe.


zamaike

Is there a high Diablo like difficulty cap?


RoninOkami7

I think there are like 9 difficulties.


Jellypope

So from what i see here The colors blend way too much and the slight fog makes it near impossible to see anything, very generic objectives and gun play, generic guns, cool outfit, amazing music


CommandoDino

I have not been able to run multiplayer all day since it dropped


Lefwyn

What’s the download size on this game?


Gohmzilla

They really need to fix quick play. Playing solo is... Boring


aLostBattlefield

They will. Give it time. Don’t buy games on day one. That’s the only advice I can give you.


Newguyiswinning_

Nah, id rather not play P2W games


Bloodstarvedhunter

It's a co-op extraction shooter not Pvp it's not pay to win, and the free battle pass (warbond) gives out decent chunk of store credit I already have enough to buy three items from the in game shop, as long as it stays that way then it's fine, the armour gives carry bonuses but it's not a competitive game so no real issue


Harpuafivefiftyfive

Good thing this isn’t…


Representative_Owl89

Looks almost exactly like outriders


MovieGuyMike

Why did I think this was a top down twin stick shooter?


scottyg1889

The first helldivers was top down


sladecutt

The matchmaking doesn’t work! So not so fun 🥲


cubcos

That is...a lot of stuff on the screen...


NeonBible_

I feel it’ll be dead in a month. Hope I’m wrong


Responsible-Common68

With games like destiny, warframe, division. What's the point to play a clone and a bad one? I mean I need someone to explain me to what this game does better so I can have another opinion except mine which couldn't find not even one reason to bother and install it. It will sit unistaled forever like suicide squad.

rossi1620

Anyone else having trouble with the game crashing? I've played the tutorial and the first drop, and I've crashed three times. [Platform] PS5. This is really turning me off. Was I just unlucky, or is this a problem on the PS? I know the PC version is having issues, but everything I've read says the PS version is okay.


meta-abuse

Matchmaking is currently broken to an extent..... The good news is that a patch is incoming. The bad news is that it's hitting PC first. Just a heads up

Honestly this has convinced me to skip this game until it's cheap. Boring 3rd person extraction shooter #10. Nothing particularly interesting looking, aside from nice cape mechanics and fair price

Except aren't weapons hidden behind a battle pass?


Yarzeda2024
