Helldivers 2 vs Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – Which Game Did It Better?

GB: "Both titles have a ways to go in adding new content and quality-of-life features. As it stands, Helldivers 2 presents a stronger base and universe in that players are willing to spend long hours without fleecing them of their money."

I know this is kinda acknowledged, but you can't properly judge any live service game until it's at least a few months old or has shipped a couple of content updates/ seasons.

Everyone will know the real answer to this question around the summer time

Nope nope nope, live service games should be judged the moment it goes on sale. Granted they deserve to be re-evaluated months down the line,, if the developer deems it worthy of being released at a price, then it's fair game to judge the game in that state.

This. If they are taking your money it’s fair game. There better be enough of a polished game to keep players engaged

I am not saying that Steam is the ultimate 'judge', but both games were released very close to each other, less than 10 days of difference, and Helldivers 2, which I love, but still has technical problems, has 145.230 players right now on PC alone while Suicide Squad, which was released with problems, but in a much better shape, has 1.654 players as I write this. So... yeah... Let's take a moment to think about this

Helldivers all day long I had epic moments and I only managed to play it 6 times cos of work but I normally hate these games but this game is special

Mr_cheese104d ago

Not heard a single person speak about Justice League. People can't stop positively talking about Helldivers 2.

Take from that what you will.

No one deserves to deal with hate for doing their job... so fuck those people for being hateful. At the same time I think AH, or any developer tbh, owes it to thier playerbase that has done nothing wrong but played and supporyed the game given to them to implement any good idea they get no matter how it was delivered.

Tacoboto5h ago

So they don't deserve to deal with it, but you agree they should deal with it anyway, as long as the idea is good?

No. F that. How can you discourage inappropriate behavior and then, in the very same thought, find a way to excuse it?

They need to just give temporary bans to people who can’t be adults and RAGE type on their keyboard after a bad operation. These Devs gave us a great game, and the children that complain about little things constantly are making their job difficult. If you dont like how they run the game, then leave. Let them follow their visions and give them feedback and constructive criticism without the vitriol and the hate. Bunch of fkn muppets.

Very loud minority is complaining. I see people using one in every round i play and they kick ass, have to remember there are tons of kids that play this game, and they complain about every single little tiny bad thing even if there are 10 pros and 1 con. Also, this is definitely not accurate. I’ve literally seen these mechs destroy chargers and titans, in the gate defense missions with this mech it literally makes it infinitely easier to hold the gates.

What a crock of shit, whoever wrote this just sucks at the game, they’re embellishing everything for some reason. Maybe they have a chip on their shoulder against the developers. Stop playing the game if all it does is make you angry, those of use that love the game will continue to appreciate their constant updates and toys to play with.

Matter of fact this post just made me want to play around, see you on the battlefield.

Are the number of shots required to kill the enemies outlined in the article incorrect?

I haven't tested it myself but this is a snippet from the article.

"Kills Bile Titans to the head in around 40-45 shots (Way more than the autocannon sentry for some stupid reason)
Kills Chargers to the head in 10 shots
Kills Chargers to the leg in 8 shots
Kills Bile Spewers in 4 shots
Kills Brood Commanders in 2-4 shots to the head"

Some support weapons can one-shot those enemies and I believe the argument is that the mech should be more powerful than it appears.

I personally think it is about using the right weapon for each faction. This new mech is more effective against the automatons while the first mech is stronger against the terminids.

The new mech is really good against bugs

DustMan8h ago

Your basically a 100 round armored dual auto cannon. I wasn't expecting this thing to tear apart everything in the game. Regular auto cannon rounds just bounce off a chargers head, everybody should know to aim for the squishy part.

jznrpg2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

It may take more shots to kill bigger bugs but you don’t need to reload at all with 100 rounds and you can shoot as fast you want plus you have a lot of extra armor. It wasn’t meant to be a kill everything one shot death machine you still need to use some skill and other stratagems
