I wish they'd finally announce if the game is going to launch with GeForce Now support. It seems to be 17% off on Fanatical, but who knows for how long :ohdear:

Yeah but there is less class variance, less building destruction and less crazy vehicles. The focus is on completing objectives and escaping the mission area instead of just killing everything.

There is no reason not to sing the EDF anthems while playing though.

i'm waiting to see what the multiplayer scene will be like, on a toxicity scale from "dota" to "DRG"

has there been any clear sign of how hard one has to sweat to not be a massive liability to the team? i distinctly remember the one time I played the original I played with goons who were more upsettingly toxic than any pubbie I'd played any game with in years. turned me off of the whole damned game (not to mention playing with goons lol)

Did you even get anything for winning in the first game? I vaguely remember a war campaign but I thought progress was just leveling and unlocking stratagems.

I logged into the first game recently and the community had lost a war. The guy next to the campaign map was like "We lost and have to find a new Super Earth". There was a cutscene where the planet exploded, the credits rolled and I was sent back to the main menu. I was able to start the game again where a new capaign was being run. This might be why the new game is allegedly running a never-ending campaign, because it was kind of confusing to see "We lost! Game Over" and then having to manually start the game again.

I think there were achievements for defeating the homeworld of each faction, and also one for defending against attacks on Super Earth (so you had to be intentionally losing, or the community had to be low on players or ignoring a faction for a while). If you beat a faction or defend earth there is also a cosmetic reward.

There were stratagem and weapon unlocks up until level 30 something (upgrades were unlocked with research points found in missions), and then DLC added another 20-25 levels just for the sake of progress, with another armour at the highest level.

If the community finished a campaign you got a cape after your first victory.

It's weird because a bunch of people have definitely played the game, but it feels like none of the usual suspects made a big high-profile video about it.

TescoBag posted:

Another video with gameplay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85ZluDbK8ZA

31 minutes of it!

"The thing about hell divers is that you are always outnumbered but your firepower is very bastard"

For instance, this is a mostly full video, but it's been done by Atomix.vg, a Latin American gaming website.

A guy from IGN did a review: https://www.ign.com/articles/helldivers-2-the-final-preview where he says that he very much enjoyed the game, but felt like he'd seen most of the content in only a few hours. Not sure how much of that was just what he was allowed to see though.

EDIT: And one from GameSpot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re4c_Wu7u6I which said mostly the same thing, although was more optimistic about its future generally.

Looking at the PC specs, the PS5 pretty much hits the recommended settings, which the chart says target 1080p@60.

Yeah, every preview seems to have 60 & 30fps footage but nobody bothers to talk about it.
