Welp, I'm not gonna just sit here and say what's already been said. Because everyone can see it clear as day like with the Great Wall of Democracy in Sector 2 being visible from space. That being said...

Forty. Dollars. You charge $40 for a game in a time where other AAA studios would burn consumers' wallets that had so much potential to be the biggest horde shooter since other classics on the market. Left 4 Dead, Vermintide, Deep Rock Galactic, Killing Floor, but you blew it.

You don't optimize your game, you don't listen to feedback, you charge $20 for two Warbonds that may be good, may be utter crap, you really can't seem to figure out how to operate the Stingray engine as much as you can operate a social media feed or Discord ping with mouthing off to your players about "lol get a new PC", "lol don't link your PSN account then", "lol you're gonna ♥♥♥♥ yourselves".

There are content creators trying to make a living off of spreading Managed Democracy and you keep spitting in their faces like we're the traitors in the downfall of what was once a great, funny, intense and charming game.

And it's a real shame too, because at it's core, Helldivers 2 is a good game. Damn good. But the studio is just unwilling and unable to fix it. People's PCs and consoles are chugging and crashing and you shift the blame onto them?! WHAT THE ♥♥♥♥ kind of PR management is that?! At least when EA, Activision, Ubisoft or Nintendo talk down to their consumers they're more openly ♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it.

Seriously, don't give these cheapskates a single red cent. You have a player mutiny on your hands and can't find your asses with both hands. Go play Marvel Rivals, Warframe, or Battlefield 6 instead.

Arrowhead Game Studios, I have no respect for you as a developer. And neither do your true patriots of Super Earth.

What a waste.

This is a very interesting take on the whole 'shoot lots of zombies' idea. It's realistic (weapon weight for example), it's got good balance of classes, and it's so satisfying when you take down the big zombies.

But that being said, the game in unoptimized, the netcode can be a pain in the ass (and believe me, it can be a MAJOR pain the ass), and the players can sometimes leave you behind when playing on a server. It's very likely to lag on you, no matter how good your PC is. It's also prone to crashing. A lot. Even when playing on low graphical settings, it'll still crap out on you.

Play this game if you'd like, but proceed with caution.
