Please Help Helldivers 2

I love this game, I want this to be known as a whole. The concept, the enemies, and the tools available are amazing on paper. But this game needs help. The bugs, crashes, unbalanced enemies, and weak tools for the players to use as a whole. I went the day of writing this playing against the newest enemies, the Cyborgs. Once again on paper they are amazing, I love everything about them and the new biomes. But I was miserably all day playing due to being thrown around by everything that hit me, my health bar disappearing by a single trooper, and having 4 Vox Engines on top of me one time, but most not drops having 1-2 of them. This isn’t fun, because the weapons I have are so limited due to so many things holding back this faction so I can’t bring things I want to. An armor to stop rag dolling is not a solution, because then I get blown up by the dozens of rockets sent my way. I play on level 8 and I am almost lvl 140. I know what I am doing and I know when I am just playing bad. This is not a bot issue, the bugs as the same where I am overrun with bug breaches, being thrown across the map by stalkers, being targeted by headless alpha commanders like I have a leash attached to me, and being slowed down so much by rupture spewers that I can’t see the charger hitting me against a wall. This isn’t a fun game play loop. It isn’t a real challenge to make the player feel like a wet noodle with a nerf gun to protect myself against all of this. Please Arrowhead, this game is amazing and I love this game so much. I keep coming back despite it all but from everything I have seen lately and have experienced myself in the game, please fix it before people stop coming back because so much can be done. For players, if you love this game, I’m with you. If you think things need to be changed about the game, I’m with you. And for anyone who thinks nothing is wrong, I wish I had the games you did because I want that Helldivers 2 experience but for me, the random people I play with, the are not happy feeling like we can’t do anything. I like hard games and I like when this game is hard. But there is a difference between winning the good fight against waves and waves of enemies like you conquest the stars against well designed enemies, to being thrown around, unable to get up and fight back because I got kick in the face and the Vox mowed me down for even looking it at it behind cover. I want to see this game be better than I already know it is. I’m not quitting, I’m just one man voicing his love and concern for this game. For Democracy… I’ll hopefully see you on the battlefield again

False Advertising:

As advertised at launch, Helldivers II promised that players could 1. "Spread Democracy with overpowered weapons", 2. "Work as a team to overcome impossible odds", and 3. "Fight for freedom across the galaxy". As the game is in its' current state, it only makes good on the last advertised promise, and even in keeping this promise players have extraordinarily negligible effect on not only the liberation of individual planets, but also the lackluster story overall. In terms of teamwork to overcome impossible odds, on the lowest difficulties the game has become stale and repetitive, on the higher difficulties, while the best players paired together can succeed, it could hardly be defined as enjoyable entertainment. And, to make matters worse, these overpowered weapons they speak of have been deliberately nerfed into the ground. In cases where weapon nerfs have not occurred, instead, the specific status effects the weapons had such as flame or chemical effects etcetera were nerfed instead. Where such changes were not made, enemies were buffed. These intentional actions have led to “overpowered weapons” that pale in comparison to those that the Helldivers enemies possess at their disposal and feel terribly unfun to utilize. Further proof of failed promises can be viewed online via a multitude of Helldivers II content creators and community members alike.

good game

very fun game extremely well made there are no bugs and it runs perfectly even on 300+ ping only problem is that it's kind of difficult to get people in your lobby unless you have friends to play with, so buy the game and make your friends buy it too

Great game constant updates

I really can't get enough for this game. Just when you think you got it figured and it starts to get a little boring. They change things up and it gets incredibly challenging. Again. Love it. I think that she keep doing what they're doing

Game hasn't been fun since release!!

When the devs decide to unnerf all the guns and tech that THEY ruined, I'll play again...but garbage is STILL UNBALANCED like it was 2 yrs ago. All the weapons that were fun & made enemies vs weapons feel balanced & great, has been long gone!! They need to go back to rebalancing our weapon damage versus Enemy health and damage. Yes, game should be hard on levels 9 and 10 but not impossible!! My main issue is that if you're lower level, under equipped or even if you're not- the crap game is super hard for no reason, even on the lower levels like 4, 5 and 6 because of the proper imbalance of such weapons vs enemies.......it is zero fun & frustrating and not worth playing.

Boring

Very excited in the beginning, but immediately the game becomes too repetitive, no caves to explore,too little rewards,little looting , this game should have bigger bases to explore , and the enemies shouldn’t be that hard to kill, i gave up on this game within a week of release and adding time was a mistake you want to take your time exploring and killing machines

Best game ever

I have about 300 hours in game mission time. I’m level 113, ship upgrades done, 6 warbonds left. People who have this game one start complain too much.

Freedom. Peace. Democracy.
Your Super Earth-born rights. The key pillars of our civilization.
Of our very existence.
But the war rages on. And everything is once again under threat.
Join the greatest military force the galaxy has ever seen and make this a safe and free place to live.

BECOME A LEGEND
You will be assembled into squads of up to four Helldivers and assigned strategic missions.

Super Earth recognises your hard work with valuable Requisition. Use it to access different rewards that benefit you, your squad, your destroyer ship and our overall war effort.

THREATS
Everything on every planet wants you dead. That’s what we’re dealing with.
Each enemy has distinct and unpredictable characteristics, tactics, and behavior – but they all fight ferociously and without fear or morality.

THE GALACTIC WAR
Capturing enemy planets, defending against invasions, and completing missions will contribute to our overall effort.
This war will be won or lost depending on the actions of everyone involved.
We stand together, or we fall apart.
