Why did it flop?

Did it?

So what's your favorite primary after the attachment update? I'm liking the liberator carbine.

pic unrelated btw he was quoting his girlfriend when she was asking about his cock

Lib carbine

my man, me too. Defender and Halt are pretty good too.

Adjudicator forever my beloved

Anon Babble catalog becomes much better if you filter out the retarded one-sentence question threads. Just a suggestion, anons

I couldn't get used to the Halt's two modes how do you usually handle it?

grim

eruptor not weighing 500 pounds now is pretty great

94000 player 24 hour peak

grim

the attachment update

the what now????

is calling HD2 a flop to start a thread about it in the same spirit at calling MH shit to start a thread?

live service

can't even maintain half of its all-time peak

Yes

Any multiplayer game without dedicated servers, mod support and a map editor is doomed to fail eventually and that's just made worse with matchmaking, authentication servers, account slop and cash shops.
Tolkien estate.

Primary weapons can equip attachments and camos now (need to level weapons in missions to unlock them). Some weapons can only equip different sights but others can equip stuff like drum mags and foregrips, most shotguns get chokes for tighter spread too.

After the update? The update added literally nothing.

Attacked, banned, belittled, and insulted their own playerbase, ignored what their players wanted, pushed things on the playerbase that nobody asked for.
Surprisingly, they lost players, interest tanked, sales tanked, and literally nobody at the company could have possibly predicted it because they're all female brained libtards.

Enjoy going bankrupt like every other liberal coded company I guess

*Nothing happens*

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting

We're fighting on Super Earth Mega Cities next week, divers.

Attacked, banned, belittled, and insulted their own playerbase

Have it on damage shells.
If something fast and big comes up, switch to stun ammo, hit it once, then switch back and kill it. Stalkers are stunned for long enough for damage shells to kill them. Chargers (behemoths if you hit the squishy ass bit) get stunned from one stun shot and just sit for long enough to do basically whatever you want to them.

What shitposting? Most weapons have no attachments other than a choice of scopes that don't alter your stats that you never use in the first place. The rest might have an extended mag for a couple more bullets or a grip for less vertical recoil, whoa incredibly truly game changing customization options. This update changed NOTHING.

it didn't flop it performed way better than they thought. People honestly had too high of expectations. The game very successfully presented itself as better than it was, it seems flashy enough to be AAA but it's very shallow.
At first they didn't have the budget to do much more than the basics, but after its big launch success and sony stepping up support I'm not sure exactly what happened.
The game desperately needs a meta game draw that keeps people interested in playing but it appears they aren't even trying. The war shit is a complete joke considering how little influence players actually have in the matter and how one dimensional that contribution is

Enough about your fantasy though. What do you think of the game?

repetitive PvE is shallow

repetitive PvP is the peak of gaming and a billion dollar industry

Why are people like this?

Does everything you need no matter the enemy, now even better than it was, what's to hate?
Anybody got up to mag adjusting levels yet? I'm I feel like I might pick up short mags just because its a crapshoot if hitting reload actually reloads in time/at all in hd2

Why did it flop?

By what metric did it flop?

pvp is usually balanced in that it's difficult to win and it feels good doing so. Playing a well designed pvp game without even any sort of meta grind remains fun simply because of the challenge.
But helldivers significantly dropped the difficulty at some point to where not even helldive 10 provides any sort of challenge so now the game just isn't interesting. There's no chasing the dragon, no "holy shit I cant believe we actually did it" moments. Winning is just almost a given now and it's fucking boring as hell, I straight up feel like I'm killing boars in elwynn forest all day when I play helldivers. Helldive 10 is about as difficult as a particularly tame helldive 8 mission from a year ago.

How would one get around the PSN bullshit and just buy the game?
Could I get a steam key and activate it? Maybe with a vpn?
space marine 2 is getting really fuckin' boring in co-op.

show some love for the first game first
funny to think the dive gave you iframes

You still don't need to make an account, so just use vpn if you can't buy it in your country

Sony embraced the media literacy crowd.

The game is just too easy now, even on the highest difficulty
It already wasn't hard to begin with, but shitters were still whining, so the devs turn it into actual baby shit
Playing with others is unfun because of it

Sorry, I'm not falling for another "come back! things are totally fun now!"

still trying to force this

either you’re on Xbox or in a literal turd-world country region locked from playing it on Steam, either way its just sad at this point OP, let it go

media literacy is bad now that trump is in charge

I hate you goyim niggers so much

non-sequitor

fuck off retard

Sony.
But it also didn't flop.

It has great player retention though. It's AA and still has about 100k people playing it. That's pretty good.

The best part of it honestly, locking shitworlds out.

The ironic thing is I've had a Japanese account for PS3/Vita imports of years, you really can just make a PSN account for any country you want and Sony won't care. But because of Sony derangement syndrome they had to block on Steam's end instead. kek

nta but please name 1 (one) live service game that has maintained at least half of it's all time peak. I'll wait

Because it's too easy and there isn't enough shit to shoot at because engine constraints.
