Helldivers 2 is better than DRG.

let's not say things we can't take back

HD2 is tons of fun but it's also an ongoing technical clusterfuck in a way that DRG has never been

I've never played DRG but it's probably true that Helldivers is better than it

Helldivers 2 is not better than EDF.

Hasn't that game been remade and rereleased a thousand times already? Where is the Brave Fencer Musashi remake the true gamers crave.

They should do an educational edition that localises to entirely 14th century language.

A Square that makes Valkyrie Elysium, Babylon's Fall, Various Daylife, and Foamstars is a better and more interesting Square. Keep making weird games, dammit.

It would have just been nice if Square didn't shut down Babylon's Fall. It was actually starting to turn into a good game before it closed. At a minimum Square needs to stay away from live service.

Unfortunately when a game has like sub-1000 players it probably doesn't matter how good it was getting.

Honestly, I think it's less like the Valkyrie Elysiums that got canned and more the Forspokens. That's something they do now.

I would have said the same thing except I thought they closed the Forspoken studio a while ago

I loved helldivers 1 and played it a lot with colleagues. I was not confident that they'd make something as good in 3d shooter form, but they actually made it better than the original. I have played about 100 hours maybe of DRG, and I think helldivers 2 is better.

At least that team too got folded directly into Square-Enix and everyone kept their jobs.

Also FF7 First Soldier ruled and I'm mad that it got shut down, too. Not even a Switch port? :cmon:

Forspoken was developed internally.

You can just mash past the dialogue most of it isn't that interesting anyway
