I didn't have a psn account, wasn't totally pleased to have to make one upon login but maybe Sony requires it to allow cross play? It is published and licensed by Sony, so that's probably why actually. They want your data or to have an authentication process / ability to ban/punish separate from steam. Either way it was a pretty painless process, I don't remember doing any captcha at all.

Play posted:There's a video in your ship about the Automatons trying to 'take what the people of Super Earth have built' so I think it's safe to say it's the exact opposite, either we are trying to take what they've built or they used to be AI slaves building stuff for us before they broke free like the bugs. The video ends with a mention of industry and work being the right of every man, woman, and child over 7. So there's likely to be some incredibly goofy "we made the robots to do manual labor to replace workers on the cheap, but made them too smart and they collectivised, so now we need to kill the dang traitor robots for stealing our jobs and being too lazy to do our jobs" Or maybe they're fully alien and it's just a manifest destiny thing and they can't stripmine planets to make weapons, it's our right to do that! I hope some of the budget is going to making more propaganda films, PSAs, and in combat barks, they're some of the best stuff in the game.

There is a message when you first play that, in order to play at all, you need to sign in with PSN account. You can just skip it. Evidently, being able to play without signing in may be temporary.

Inzombiac posted:What's up with the arc thrower? Does it chain between targets? It chains if they are close enough* *enough is variable It doesn't quite do enough damage - but if you can convince a whole squad to run it, it becomes a very strange sort of viable. You have to coordinate and target fatties together - but at that point they melt very quickly, and you absolutely plaster anything that isn't a charger/bile titan in seconds. Very good against spitter bugs. It just takes a lot of concerted effort and probably isn't worth it.

Got TK'd like three times in five minutes by the same pubbie last night, while not even really near him, and not seeing/hearing explosions or bullets before dying - totally mystifying. Realized soon after he was shooting long distances arcs at packs of bugs I was near. He was apologetic, but I still had him purged for insufficient zeal for managed democracy.

Relentlessboredomm posted:oh man i know terminator vietnam is dope but let me also introduce you to bug vietnam on meridia. absolutely terrifying to be walking through a jungle and 3 of your squad get insta killed by stalkers I had someone drop out of a Challenging mission and it turned out the game spawned two stalker nests on that mission. It's the one time I never made it to extraction. Fuckers deal a ton of melee damage, do their damndest to attack you from behind, and can take quite the beating - with two nests, they respawned faster than I could kill them. Always prioritize blasting their nests ASAP (note: Stalker Nests do not show up on your map until you visually identify them via direct line of sight, unlike most other nests/hives which have giant red areas to alert you that you're near them).

Helldivers 1 had missions with super bosses on rare occasions. I think it was just as a planet was about to be liberated, maybe. Does helldivers 2 also have super boss missions? Like in 1 there was a bug queen or something, and a super robot guy. I think.

Oh yea I forgot to mention, to take out bot factories with the ac, you aim it higher than you would think, like at the hatch above the vent. As if you're trying to ricochet it downwards. Once you figure out where to hit it it's pretty reliable, but I found I had to be standing right in front of it. If the door opens you can put one in there too. Also on diff 5-6 if you have impact grenades you can kill a charger pretty quick by just hucking nades at its feet. e] Also also, that fat boy heavy armour from the shop owns, especially paired with the tiniest cape you have unlocked, but goddamn it sucks being so slow

Wait holy poo poo this happened to you too? It was when I was trying to link my Playstation account, which it said WAS mandatory, and it made me do this stupid matching puzzle 8 times, and then I guess I messed one up, so it made me do it 8 more times, and again it said "that wasn't quite right" and made me do it again.

Could've changed since then.

Ciaphas posted:is this how I'm supposed to use the grenade launcher too? 'cause i've been trying to use it to destroy those and close bug nests, and have like a 0 out of 40 success rate so far Yep. And the grenades have to go pretty much directly in so shooting at an angle is usually iffy because they'll bounce off something. Once you figure out how to do it and dial in the range with maybe a couple missed shots you can pretty reliably close them up from far away.

Typical Pubbie posted:Is the Senator good? Its alright? Probably depends on your use case. I unlocked it early because it looked like a Destiny 2 hand cannon, but I like the auto pistol much better as my panic gun. The ammo economy on the revolver seems better, but the smg pistol just spews out damage when you need something up close to die quickly. The revolver has much better range and packs a punch per shot.

Yep, same thing here, except it started out wanting me to do 20 for the first batch and then when it said "that wasn't quite right" at the end of the second batch of 20 I decided to give up. Based on the high starting count, at this point I'm assuming it had already decided I was 100% a robot and it was never going to let me pass no matter how well I answered.
