Combat is 90% of the game, if those visual aid and info mods don’t work in it then they might as well not exist.

Not apart from the theme. This is a singleplayer city-builder / colony management sim, not a first-person co-op survival-crafting-basebuilding game.

Your wants and needs are different from other people’s wants and needs, doesn’t mean other people are wrong.

How is Itch user friendly? It literally just gives you a download and lets you figure the rest out yourself. If you have a big library, like if you bought one of those big charity bundles, you can’t even filter or search it in any way.

The difficulty

They at least have belt inputs now. MASSIVE quality of life improvement.

the thumbnail looks like a cheap mobile strategy game

if we consider alyx to be the third installment then we have hl3 already

That doesn’t count. It’s a prequel, it doesn’t continue the story (except like 5 seconds), and it doesn’t resolve the cliffhanger we were left on.

Heh, clever title

Wonder if it’ll be as money hungry as the original

My family still teases me for once playing a game where you had to pay real money to watch a pixel guy jump into the pool

Because Microsoft hasn’t yet captured 100% of the PC gaming demographic, thankfully.

There goes the “we need PSN to effectively moderate the online playerbase” lie right out the window…

Helldivers 2 is definitely undercooked. It’s probably one of the most unstable games I’ve ever played. I’ve experienced more crashes in 50 hours of HD2 than in 250 hours of vanilla Fallout 4 and 150 hours of lightly modded Skyrim Special Edition put together.

Not to mention the extremely strange bugs that pop up every new update. My friend would often get downright bluescreens from the game, sometimes he would be cursed and completely unable to be called in as reinforcement. The reinforcement beacon would just disappear after a few seconds. Other players on the team would still be called in, just not him.

Then the fact that flamethrowers didn’t work properly for anyone but the host for a long time, so Arrowhead responded by buffing fire damage in general. Cue the flamethrower still not working, and flamethrower enemies like the Hulk simply instakilling you instead. I’m not even sure if they’ve fixed that one yet.

Or armor values not working for a long time after launch. Or the kill messages when you die being completely up in the air, many times displaying that you were killed by a teammate or yourself when you get swarmed with enemies or thrown off a cliff. I’ve been accused of a lot of teamkills because of that. Or how shooting down an automaton dropship would have a 50% chance of actually killing the enemies under it, and a 50% chance of giving them a big bunker they can clip through and shoot out of, but you can’t shoot them back. Or Pelican 1 not landing for over a minute, just hovering in the air not even shooting at enemies. Then there were all the times that picking up medals or super credits inside the map would just paralyze your character completely, making you unable to move at all until you take some damage.

I really do not understand the online gamer circlejerk that has formed around this game. Is it the Battlefield Helldiver moments^TM? Screaming at ragdolls with your friends?

I’d assume that “related” suggestions would still work, unless Youtube decides to break them out of spite.

You can get that experience any time by going to Trending.

You could also pour milk in your boots.

Yes I’m a bit confused as well, how are they supposed to know what to recommend if they don’t know what you’ve been watching?

Sounds like they kept a watch history anyway but in secret, and turning it off just means that the user can’t see it anymore. Exactly like back when turning off location history on Google apps just meant you couldn’t see it anymore, but Google still collected and kept the info.

Yes, I do wish it had a longer memory. It feels like only the past few days of watching has any impact on suggestions, if you’ve neglected to watch videos about a certain topic for over a week it’s basically ancient history and never comes up again. I’d love to get a varied mix of things I’ve been interested in for the past 6 months or even longer.
