Let's talk about Helldivers 2 - Discussion Thread - eviltoast

Hey everyone, I’m thinking for this one rather than posting a review thread like I normally do, we can just chat.

Has anyone picked it up? If so what are your thoughts so far? If you haven’t picked it up, are you enticed by what you’ve seen in reviews and impressions? Do you have concerns? Also, if anyone here has played the first one, how do you like or dislike the changes they’ve made?

Personally, I am 90% certain I’m gonna pick it up. Tonally it looks hilarious, and gameplaywise it looks very tactical and visceral. I also think the price is just right for me to be a bit impulsive ($40). I’m trying to hype my friend group up to see if we can get a party together. If not, then I’ll probably wait for them to patch the issue with public matchmaking on PS5 before I pick it up.

So what do you all think?

    IMO, the game become totally different around lv6-7 area and strategy is really needed for mission to work well. I’ve seen my group running, failing and have to adapt to the new difficulty changes and thinking about how we unlock stuff to work together better. If you are good FPS player you can certainly solo mission up to even lv5, but upon lv6 the likely hood to solo decrease rapidly depending on mission type. Even the best player in our group(currently unlocks almost everything) have difficulty staying alive at lv7 and have to change play style a bit. As you can’t get the Super Sample(purple ones) unless you are playing lv7+ and extract successfully.
