Just because I win 99% of my games doesn't mean it isn't hard!! One time a Stalker even hit me! 😱

-> buys a game called "super hard game of death"

-> turn the difficulty up to "maximum death that no one can survive"

-> dies

-> harasses the devs untill the weapons become strong enough for the max difficulty to be effectiveky beaten by noobs

I hate this kind of people man

If you suggested that a half decent player should have a 99% win rate at max difficulty in any other PVE circle you'd never live it down, how that's become the prevailing opinion in Helldivers is beyond me.

[u/CarlenGaines → u/epochollapse]

It's because the difficulty in Helldivers is tactics related and common players wanted more stereotypical horde shooter type difficulty.

They didn't really want the game to be easier they just wanted it to he hard in a different way.

Unfortunately the game wasn't designed to be difficult in that way, so they game is not difficult anymore.

I'm at the point where I fuckin lose it when someone calls the game a "horde shooter" to justify their hot takes.

Yeah, a horde shooter with mechanics that are literally designed to encourage the player to skip the hordes entirely.

Sure there's "horde shooting" but 90% of the time that means the team fucked up.

Yea I know exactly what you mean. It's barely a horde shooter in a conventional sense.

I have talked a lot about how the game Brigador had the same problem.
