Blood rain, giblets, and warm bullet casings
Mild, sharp, and sharper cheese tastings
Metal dudes shredding their taut guitar strings
These are a few of my favorite things

  • I don’t think who you play with will affect your enjoyment. I maintain HD1 as being one of my favorite coop games of all time with an overwhelmingly solid community. I think that largely carried over to 2, even with the boom. The biggest barrier to enjoyment is the game itself right now. But, being new, maybe the little things that irk people with hundreds of hours won’t impact you before they get fixed.











  • I, apprehensively, hope it’s still just part of their growing pains. It boggles my mind to see sequels, time and again, leave behind good features and qualities that there were no reasons to drop. Load outs being a thing in HD1 but not 2 is frustrating. But I’m mainly referencing the galactic war. It was much less interactive on a granular level with no major orders or personal orders. But higher difficulties gave greater contribution to the war and you got a great sense of how your playtime actually affected the effort. Whether or not they are still tweaking numbers behind the scenes is debatable and they surely will never tell us since they love not telling us shit. But it really doesn’t feel like any particular time I play has any bearing on anything like it did in HD1. Best hope I can have is that we’ll get there eventually. Or maybe not and we just play this story out as they wrote it.





  • If you’re desperate enough and have a tough time getting a good group that can handle 7+, doing bug blitz missions (12min) is actually the way to go. The rock will spawn, you roll light for speed and hunt for it, which may take as much as all your time. Then use the emergency shuttle to extract immediately and bypass the extract chaos. This is a soloable, probably-not-going-to-complete-the-main-mission strat. Like I said, for desperation mainly. Your democracy officer does not recommend making this a habit.
