Bit very heated after some gametime tonight. hopped on to chill for a bit and shoot some bugs and instead died repeatedly to bullshit mechanics, op bugs, and teamkills. Why the hell is Oshaune so miserable? Why the hell is the dragonroach a mass murdering flying tank? Why the hell does every weapon suck except against your own teammates? Fuck man.

    @Sonotsugipaa Oh I didn’t mean to imply “just git gud.” I mostly meant to say that I’m surprised there are a notable number of fans of this game upset by the difficulty. From my perspective one of the biggest draws of the game is the chaos and how there’s a very real chance of loss no matter your best efforts.

    I don’t think fans frustrated with the difficulty are wrong by any means, I’m just personally surprised by it. It makes specific planets and major orders so much more memorable to me

      imo, the problem with Helldivers is not that it’s difficult, it’s that it’s unfair. Things can be insanely difficult and challenging, but completely fair and beatable (dark souls is the classic example here). HD2, especially on Oshaune at d10, is not fair, and that’s where a lot of complaints come from.

        @ComicalMayhem I think that was the whole point. Oshaune wasn’t supposed to be fair. That’s what makes that planet so memorable and the victory so much more valuable
