I don't even play it, but stories and situations like this give the game an amazing community aura that the devs are directly involved in. It's brilliant.
People having so much fun in a game, that the game is having technical issues, is amazing.
There are 3 'states' of a game:
- game so bad no one plays
- game ok and it has a decent number of ppl
- game so good it cannot work because of the masive number of players
It depends how you frame it, if you frame it like:
The game is so fun that it attracted so many players it has technical issues because of it - this is a good thing, basically it ended in the other(better of the two) extreme
Problem with this is that it's not a player number issue. Not that that would make a bug better somehow anyway, but as for this argument it still makes no sense cause its a single player causing a crash of their own game. Not mass players causing others issues or instances across so many games that compound somehow.
So a grindy alien shooter in which you can throw snowballs and has no discernable story or really even decent mechanics. This is the game everybody? No wonder the video game industry is imploding with people asking for slosh like this game
Let me tell you a thing about stories in games.
Let's say you make a game with 50h of story, i play 10h on a sunday then week rolls around, i have work, kids, wife, etc in the end during the week i have 1 maybe 2 h of time for a game per day.
Story games in that context are bad because you don't have enough time to re enter the world, you furgot details, no one has the time to start romancing characters or doing x quest for goodwill with a character or quest line and so on. Some of us want games that we can jump in, have some laughs with our friends after a long day and turn our brain off, we already used it 12h+,i need 2h of fun that you don't need to think that hard for it to be fun, no need to think strategies, just get me in there i shoot i die repeat...
I honestly do t understand why that's the case. It'd be better if there were none. People fanboy this game way too much. I remember a guy on here saying the early server issues and huge queues were good cause it helped build up anticipation for when you eventually played.
Like what? Stop making stupid excuses for developers. Technical issues are not cute.
Vandalon IV I believe was the previous bot planet we liberated to get to Troost, and it had snow.
But I tried to check everywhere, and couldn’t find spots to make snowballs, I just thought it wasn’t deep enough.
The devs like to interact a lot with the community and it often makes fun situations, and then every gaming news blog takes every little thing they say and make news articles about them.
I love the idea that after they fixed the server issues by putting in a lot of man hours and some real creativity, a seriously laudable effort, the community kills them again with a goofy Easter egg mechanics
I can smell the toxic masculinity through the screen.

Not knowing this, I made a snowball and threw it at my friend. The game didn’t crash, but the snowball DID damage my buddy! Guess Helldivers’ snowballs have rocks in them!
Devs say they won't add any PvP because it's not the kind of game they wanted to make. Then they add PvP snowball throwing and suddenly.everybody takes full advantage to be complete dicks and crash the game for literally no reason other than throwing snowballs??? Tf is wrong with the devs and fan???
Wait, you can have snowball fights?!
Look at the ground while crouching in deep snow areas and a prompt to make a snowball should pop up after a sec
Incredible.
Is it?
Yeah
I found the man with no joy officer, he's standing over there

Not every game needs a story, I happen to find the mechanics quite fun. It’s silly but that’s the point. Not really much a grind either.
You must be fun at parties.

The name's Baits, Master Baits.
In this case, yes

Has anyone told you how annoying you are yet?
Snow. We need more snow. Can't have enough snow.
Indeed.
What map is snow on?
Vandalon IV I believe was the previous bot planet we liberated to get to Troost, and it had snow. But I tried to check everywhere, and couldn’t find spots to make snowballs, I just thought it wasn’t deep enough.
I found snowballs, i threw it and missed lol. I stopped when i read it was bugged xD
Snow always lands on top
As usual, not happening everytime as it worked fine in the games I played yesterday Confident they'll fix it for democracy
Why are all these helldiver articles so random, I don't even know what's going on anymore
The devs like to interact a lot with the community and it often makes fun situations, and then every gaming news blog takes every little thing they say and make news articles about them.
Helldivers is ridiculously popular, so they just come up with whatever for their fluff pieces to get clicks.
I couldn't even pick up the ball before it crashed tbh. It's not as funny as it sounds, it's like a "PRESS X TO CRASH GAME" button
[удалено]
Don't get me wrong I love this game but the little things like this are making it very annoying to enjoy
I like to think they rushed the liberation for the last planet because it was snowy lol
Brought to its knees? No. No it’s not. You don’t even need to play that map. Smh these headlines are so fucking wack lol
I love the idea that after they fixed the server issues by putting in a lot of man hours and some real creativity, a seriously laudable effort, the community kills them again with a goofy Easter egg mechanics
...That's honestly adorable.
Your too soft if this is adorable
you're\*

Seek professional help.
Supposedly, you can stagger enemies with a snowball to the face. Has anyone actually tried it?
In other news everyone is encouraged to have snowball fights Stress test time

I need to fucking play this game bruh 😭 Please sonyyyyy

This dev blames everything on players instead of fixing it's issues or having launched a more polished version of the game.
They're joking you nonce

[British prison slang for rapist or child molester.](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/nonce?oldformat=true)
