Helldivers 2

I just picked this up after watching a few vids. Seems like they had bad server issues initially but that's been figured out.

It has real Starship Troopers vibes to it and it would be amazing if they somehow were able to drop a total conversion or DLC, that would be amazing.

 

Anyway, here's a video of two missions from Neebs gaming.

I'm enjoying the hell out of it, the little DDR mini game to call in an orbital strike or turret or reinforcements is a fun mechanic. Plus the guns are fun to shoot and it's satisfying as hell to shoot endless hoards of bugs and bots

100% you pretty much need to party up or join a random team. Most missions are really hard at low levels trying to solo them.

It's a lot of fun if you get into a somewhat competent group.

Some of the movement feels wonky and I wish I had a 1st person view.

It does feel like a pretty good gameplay loop and it's a lot of fun.

Real Helldivers fight Robots.

You can aim in first person by clicking right thumbstick on ps5.

 

I've enjoyed the hell out of this. Been icing balls for the last 3 days (vasectomy) and grinding up to rank 26. I befriended a few randoms and it makes huge difference just having a squad that communicates.

This has been a blast. This is the game format that Warhammer or Starship troopers IP should have done

Been playing a lot on Steam, and doing up to level 7 content with ease.  I bought the arc warbond set with super credits I earned in game, and the first gun in that set, the LAS16, is phenomenal. Totally changes the game, adding EATs to it and a personal shield generator is the way to go for long survival missions. Playing stealthy with Light armor with reduced detection is a lot of fun, feels somewhat like old Metal Gear games on PS1/2.
