Helldivers 2

immense fun

Its over for me

 

[Rabid]

I’d buy it if it wasn’t because of the rootkit anti-cheat lol - is it really as fun as it seems though?

I haven't had this much fun in a Co-op game since L4D tbh. The whole thing feels like one giant action movie but done better and more coherently than any other game i've played.

you can whack your teammates over the head to have them be thrown towards an orbital strike

that or let them drop their own strike atop of their body as they fall over

you should give Deep Rock Galactic a try if you haven't already

Anyone know if the servers are down tonight? Keeps saying max capacity

They're overloaded at the moment.

Check their discord for status updates ;p

For reference, the first game maxed out at 6k players when it first launched.

The sequel got 250k at launch and is up to 350k as of today. They're frantically trying to upgrade their servers to cope lmao

baffles me how they won't just up the limit to ~500-750k

They're trying, but they can't do it without the infastructure (which is a WIP) - and what they had would have been fine even for 50-100k, but not almost three times that

then again, i doubt it's that much work (clueless)

what infuriates me more is the fact that the double xp event is gone to waste, since nobody can play and/or can't play with others

 

[WeakenedHen5]

we should get a nebulous helldivers squad going if anyone is playing tonight

do you have any idea how much it costs for infrastructure to support games that big

curious to see if anyone here is a PS5 player and whether they're having the same issues

I don't play on it but PS5 has been especially rocky - both because Sony's patches take time to come through and because the core problem is the server(s) themselves and getting the systems to support the numbers.

The fact it's beating cod and Fortnite right how should tell you everything

Yeah maybe, I just find kernel level anti-cheat extremely intrusive and privacy violating
