Theyre supposedly only supposed to be used to defend an area. I havent had a chance to to try one yet. Seems like the game is still trying to find it's footing. Luckily, the game play is insanely fun, so people seem to be fine waiting for them to figure out the stats on guns, heavy armor, etc...It’s actually crazy how bad mechs suck
it gets harder at level 3 and a lot harder at level 4I just picked up this game and it’s a bit underwhelming? I’ve only played like 4 missions but they seem pretty short where you just run around, shoot a few bugs that crop up, grab some stuff, then leave and repeat over and over? I’m hoping it’s just based on the missions I’ve done and easy difficulty that the game starts with.
I believe there are 10* (edit: 9*) difficulty levels. I've been playing for over a month now, and I'm stuck at level 7 for bugs and level 6 for Automatons (I'm a level 31). In fact, there was a lot of 'rah-rah' that the game was too difficult on higher levels. Odds are, unless you're an absolutely savage gamer with good teammates, you won't be able to play the highest difficulty without getting absolutely destroyed. You're supposed to die a lot, so as you progress up in difficulty just note that the game is designed for you to be a grunt that democracy has deemed expendable.I just picked up this game and it’s a bit underwhelming?

Yep stopped playing. f*** them. Sony gets hacked all the time but want us to link our accounts. They deserve everything they are getting.Lots of drama around PSN requirements to play the game. Damn. Seems like it'd getting review bombed, and a lot of people either can't (PSN isnt supported in their country) or won't play the game (out of protest) anymore.
I love the game, but big, greedy corporations really peeve me.
I actually already linked my account day 1 and didnt even realize they removed the requirement.Yep stopped playing. f*** them. Sony gets hacked all the time but want us to link our accounts. They deserve everything they are getting.

Exactly. They are punishing players that don't even have a choice or any say in the matter of the service being available in their region or not.The shittiest thing they did was sell to consumers in countries that dont support PSN.
Review bombing is a good startegy to make big companies listen. Hell, even small companies.This was strange to see play out because the game got delisted from over a hundred countries, reportedly 177, on steam because there is no playstation account support in those regions. Which brings the question, did sony know those regions werent supported and manually delist them, or was that a move by valve? Hard to tell, we will never know, since spoiler alert, Sony has reverse their decision and its no longer mandatory to link your PSN

Also, That'd be the ultimate overlook, and I find it hard to believe. I think it's more likely they saw their major hit of a game get demolished by negative reviews, and that would hit them where it hurts...financially.This was strange to see play out because the game got delisted from over a hundred countries, reportedly 177, on steam because there is no playstation account support in those regions.

100k for them is still a massive win, and that's just Steam numbers. I believe they've said PS5 numbers are on par with Steam generally. So 200k even down from like 500k to 800k is just massive.The playerbase is at 100k concurrent player right now, its been a pretty consistent decline from being 300-400k concurrent around launch. While I think the account linking had an effect, I myself got frustrated with the new content being useless or glitchy 9 times out of 10. Even the stuff at launch was glitchy (spear) but I dont see anybody using the new stuff. At least power creep is not a problem I guess?
Also, isn't it normal for a game to peak early, then lose some of those numbers until it settles on a lower number of players? I saw 200k+ on when I played two nights ago.100k for them is still a massive win, and that's just Steam numbers. I believe they've said PS5 numbers are on par with Steam generally.

What’s your load out? I can’t really find a good consistent load out I can consistently contribute.Also, isn't it normal for a game to peak early, then lose some of those numbers until it settles on a lower number of players? I saw 200k+ on when I played two nights ago.
I still love the game. It's the only one Im playing, though I only play about 4 times a week for an hour or so. I don't really care about weapon nerfs. I don't keep up on all of those updates, so I just use whatever guns I want, and they still seem to do the job well as I typically play level 8. I am not very good at video games, btw.
Also, I've been lucky enough not to deal with many bugs.
Sony still getting shredded online. They have lost the trust of the PC gaming community and next time a game is published by Sony being released on PC they probably won’t be reaching the sales they want.
Looks good on them. Stay out of our community and don’t force people into your crappy eco system.
Depends on the mission type and if it's bugs or automatons.What’s your load out? I can’t really find a good consistent load out I can consistently contribute.
Im horrible with all of these except the autocannon, so this doesn't really help me, lol.Depends on the mission type and if it's bugs or automatons.
My "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of bubble gum" loadout is usually:
Scorcher Plasma Rifle- I believe that's what it's called. Best primary I own.
Uzi
Railgun- I always bring the Railgun.
Laser
3rd Strat of choice depending on variables
Autocannon
Last night I rocked
Liberator
Uzi
Arc Thrower
Assault Rifle Rover (name?)
Cluster Bomb
Railgun
And got over 300 kills with only a couple of deaths on level 8. I joined a good random party, though.
To be honest, I do think there's a disconnect from millennial gamers and younger gamers. I grew up playing Socom. We didn't have a million upgrades to open, and we certainly weren't striving to level up. We just played for fun. Some guns sucked; some were awesome. Now-a-days, it's more about grinding and people want every gun/ item to be savage. Those things don't matter much to me. I'm going to try everything even if my skill level drops a bit. Hell, I go full pyro (flame thrower, napalm, etc...) sometimes just for the funzies.
The teamwork and gameplay were second to none in Socom, and that's what Helldivers has brought back to me. This game was tailor-made for Millennials, haha.
