Let me preface what I am going to say with a simple disclaimer. These are my opinions guided by decades of playing games. My opinions likely won’t line up directly with your outlook and that is ok.
I’ve been playing video games every day since 1982. I played Doom the day it was available (as well as the beta that I scammed off a friend of mine), I have played it all, from Zork to Star Citizen.
Never, in all my experience have I come across something like Helldivers 2. It’s a wild fucking ride, every day. It is live service, requires rootkit level anticheat (why? Eh? Why the fuck do you need that level of anticheat for PVE?), and comes with a bizarre sense of community driven by a satirical embrace of fascism.
Malevelon Creek. TCS (and taking down the TCS), the S.O.N.Y. virus, there is so much stuff every day. And the game itself is just fun to play.
Leave your toxicity at the door and come join us for democracy.
I thought you were going to explain why I should buy it now, but you haven’t? I’m playing something else right now so I don’t see a reason to buy it now because later, when I’m actually going to play it, it might be on sale.
