Some Players Proposed a Controversial Take on Recent Helldivers 2 Nerfs

With all the rage concerning recent nerfs in Helldivers 2, one player proposed a contraverial take.

Magatsuhi140d ago

I totally agree with the reddit user. I stopped playing the game because the weapons I enjoyed using basically rendered me useless against bile titans and I don't have fun using the 'meta' because I don't enjoy being a conformist.

It's not fun when I want to use the arc Blitzer and then getting completely outclassed by a sickle user. I found myself constantly on the run using certain weapons and being more of a burden to my team than a helpful asset. Balancing just killed the fun for me. Hopefully the weapon customizations make everything viable and not just certain weapons.

Make the ems strike great again!

Elit3Nick140d ago

Umm, they just buffed the Blitzer and nerfed the Sickle

Magatsuhi140d ago

Obviously I'm speaking pre patch. The point still stands, bringing a stalwart renders you useless against heavies and same with laser Canon. You are forced to play a certain way at higher difficulty and to deny this is to deny reality.

Changes are going to continue happening. Some buffs some nerds. Eventually they will find the right balance but it takes time. Sickle had a lot of mags taken away but if you use it right it doesn’t matter that much until get to level 7+ and then it sucks !

Haven’t used Blitzer since patch I’ll have to see how much better it is

So is there 2000 odd players now?

FFLISH1d 13h ago

You sure you didn't search up halo infinite player count by mistake? thats the game that can barely top 2000 players daily on steam while HD2 has 68k last 24h.

The concord player are now playing starfield again, both of them

@markdn

Starfield averages between 10-15k players just on Steam, and that's a year after release and no major modding scene for the title yet. That's very healthy for a single player RPG in general. Just saying.

What has halo got to do with my comment just out of interest? The remark was simply a joke any reason you seem to have taken it to heart? Fan boys really are a sorry bunch like I actually care how many players are playing a game I'm bored of already # uninstalledthisrepetitivetrash

Markdn1d 11h ago

@FurrRealz and your point being? Are you comparing the failure of one game, to the total failure of a complete xbox generation, yet again? Surely not?

Shane Kim1d 10h ago

Halo is Microsofts flagship title. Concord...not so much.

Brazz1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Latest data shows +68.000 players in 24h, on steam alone. Likely to be over +90.000 players with Playstation.

You went out of your way to go into a article and troll a game that you are supposedly "bored" with and "uninstalled" already? ofc now its a joke to you after your 2000 player claim that you pulled out of your ass has been slammed by facts and proven wrong. If you didn't care about the player numbers why are you here and bringing up false player numbers in the first place? you are a prime example of a sorry fanboy.

So how much is that in total number of players?

IAMRealHooman1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

we had 65k last night
currently 45k steam alone

Scissorman1d 10h ago

It's not only returning players; the game has also shot up among the top 20 best selling games on Steam.

Rimeskeem1d 6h ago

That's a 3 month high for the game. Good to see!
