re: Helldivers 2 - Playstation Breaks Its PC Launch Record

I logged in last night for the first time in about a week. I've noticed few of my friends on Steam are still playing at all, much less regularly.

Their small nerfs are starting to make the game uninteresting. Players want to be awash in the digitized blood of scores of virtual enemies. You can make content difficult, but there's a point of declining returns when you go about it by taking away from the players' ability to create havoc.

I ran the new defend mission last night (solo on levels 1 and 2) which is to now turn off the giant termicide machines since the terminids seem to be adapting through mutation caused by the gas. I believe the time limit was 10 minutes? 12? I completed them both but on just level 2 I ran out of ammo multiple times because they've cranked the spawn rate up a bit too much after doing some weapon nerfs.

Not enough time and reduced damage out = less fun.

That said, the new weapons could be interesting if they are in any way worthwhile.
