I fully agree with your assessment. The game had a great trailer, a groovy vibe, and was right on the back of the Mario movie. It would have been almost exactly as successful with the classic turn-taking multiplayer experience.
It was cool to be able to play with friends and see the ghosts of randos, but it was a minor novelty, not a major selling point.
Lol you got rage baited
That was amazing. I'm so glad he's back, even in a limited capacity.
I found this concerning too, until I watched the beginning again. He was chewing on his lip during the intro, and they might have done a few takes of that shot. He says superbowl perfectly fine at 8:11
They're very different games. Helldivers 2 is a lot more straightforward.
A lot of people don't like the light management in DRG, for instance.
I grabbed it day one and I've been playing it a lot. It's good, but I don't think it will have much of a lifespan.
I've played around 50 missions, and while I wouldn't say it's getting repetitive, I know that inevitably I'll unlock most of the weapons and upgrades and not have much incentive to keep playing.
One thing I haven't seen anyone talk about is how great the adaptive triggers and rumble feels. My controllers click and clack in a really satisfying way pretty much the whole time I'm playing.
The difficulty is pretty insane, and I feel like they'll tune it down pretty soon. There's a slight power curve as you unlock upgrades, for sure, but I get the feeling most people won't spend too much time playing above Medium, which is the third out of nine difficulty ratings.
Overall, it's a fun and well designed shooter that's great to play with friends, but I expect the player base will fall off hard after about a month, if that.
Woah, how do you know my stage name?
I haven't seen anyone say The Boondocks yet. That show has a banger of an intro.
I have to skip the intro for B99 sometimes cause it's crazy loud.
I'm not entirely sure what his deal is or why he's famous, but I've seen a handful of videos that he's posted to YouTube.
He'll set up a little table like the one in the meme at a college campus, and his sign will read something divisive and clickbaity like "there are only two genders CHANGE MY MIND"
He basically invites people to debate him on camera, but he isn't sincere in any way and the whole setup is just a mechanism for him to generate content of him owning the libs. For instance, he uses a system where there's just one microphone between him and the other person, but he always holds the microphone and he can cut people off any time he wants. Any time he loses ground in an argument he'll say something like "the point isn't to be right; it's to change my mind" or some dumb shit.
He's a right wing guy with dumb opinions and he argues in bad faith. That's pretty much his whole deal
If this game is to Nier as Lies of P is to Dark Souls, I'm here for it.
