The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.

I am utterly shellshocked by how much I'm enjoying Helldivers 2. It's been a very long time since I've daydreamed about going home to play but I just can't wait to blast some bugs with friends most days. It's like I'm 10 again

I just want to let people with lower spec hardware know about "Earth defense force 5". It's better than hell divers in my opinion. Bigger scale, more aliens, more destruction but lower graphics to compensate.

There's 6 days left on the EDF Humble Bundle.

I keep seeing so much about it, I really need to give it a shot.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You won't be disappointed especially if you play with friends or people who communicate

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it's a 4 player multiplayer game. You can drop in with randoms but it's just not the ideal experience in my mind

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (3 children)

I will definitely revisit it as soon as I've made three communicative friends!

I just played a quick game before i do some chores now with random people, all American won't hold it against them but they were good blokes.

Knocked out 2 missions at level 4 cause i just wanted the cruisy experience

I play coop PVE games with random matchmaking, Helldivers 2 is still a lot of fun with random people.

[–] monsterpiece42@reddthat.com 1 points 7 months ago

I have had great luck with random people. There is in-game voice chat and you don't run into the really serious try hard types until the very upper difficulties

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah it's this dog me too except im forcefully teaching democracy to the robots.

Not to mention i really try to help with all the major orders as i want to see where the story goes
