Re: 'We Are So Back': Helldivers 2 Dev Lays Out Plans to Improve Game

dardel

we are not back yet but I like what I read. That being said, the beta testing realm was promised a long time ago so lets see if they deliver. It only annoys me that bugs like the bouncing stratagems and steering hellpods have a "by the end of the year" deadline, these are broken maybe from lunch.
On a positive side, a more meaningful progression, community and personal-wise, looks good on paper, lets see what they provide. I am closing to lvl130 so anything higher will be nice to have (with meaningful rewards ofc). Just unlocked the last warbond so hoping for anything interesting in this regards.

Re: Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40K Is a Match Made in Heaven

dardel

the only issue I have with this is that, as every other legendary warbond, there were no stratagems in the warbonds and the primaries cannot be configured (no scopes, attachments, etc). I am afraid that, as with the killzone and halo warbonds, the items in this will be fun for the cosmetic value, but more or less useless gameplay-wise. Unless they are OP at the introduction, then nerfed later (coyote style).

@Northern_munkey it would be fantastic, but it will also depend on the feasibility of the weapons. HD2 has too many useless primaries and stratagems.
There are also talks about a possibility of having a mech resembling dreadnoughts… that would be also awesome.

At first I thought that will be the next warbond but it seems it might be released later this year, still plenty of time to get the super credits. Have inly the Halo warbond left to unlock.
Because of the “grunt fantasy” I guess we will have imperial guards themed bond, lazguns maybe? Dont think we will receive bolters/chainswords (but a man can dream).

Re: When Is PlayStation's State of Play for June 2026?

dardel

@Shinnok789 I would say that is the reason why I am worried, that the last one was really good, but most if not all of the previous ones were really disappointing for me. I really wish this one will continue with the trend the last one set, not with the countless previous disappointments, fingers crossed.

Re: PS5 Will Reveal the Most Played Games with Steam-Like Player Numbers

dardel

Hey folks a question: since live service games are the most played and specially shooters are up there in the front, why didn’t Sony picked an own shooter series to revive, instead of betting on new projects, that ultimately failed hard? I was mostly a PC/Nintendo player so I dont know but didnt Sony have a CoD alternative? How about Killzone?

Re: Poll: Do Crimson Desert's PS5 Patches Put Other Devs to Shame, or Is the Game Simply Unfinished?

dardel

I have a friend that is playing since release, he told me that the game had its bugs but it was complete at lunch. Maybe questionable choices like controls, but not really an early access like a vocal minority is trying to push.
I think I will get it this weekend, steam reviews are picturing a game I will for sure like and with every patch it is getting better and better.

Re: Marathon Server Slam Gets Underway Today - Here's Everything You Need to Know

dardel

out of curiosity, is this available for the Steam version as well? wanted to try Arcriders but not sure if extraction shooters are my thing, so giving this a go might clear that for me. and I dont like to play shooters on gamepad so was hoping for this to be available for the Steam version as well.
EDIT: just noticed the note about Steam, so I will try it later.

Re: Overwatch Ditches the 2, Launches 5 New Heroes in Blizzard's Bid to Revive the Shooter

dardel

It was not able to live up to the highs of the original release because the developers lied. While promoting OW2 they promised a lot, including an extensive PvE mode with leveling, perks, etc. everybody (including me, who played OW since release day) was hyped, and when the patch to ow2 was released, it was first that they will do first the PvP changes and the PvE part will arrive later. More lies since later it was leaked that at time time it was clear internally that PvE was scrapped. Lies, lies and lies.

Re: Helldivers 2 Adds a Tank in Major Update, More Hard-Hitting Weaponry in New Warbond

dardel

@Nakatomi_Uk I havent used it much, and saw it only once so far because I was farming extermination missions for fast medals. I believe it will not be as good, since the patch buffed enemy dmg against durable. So now the mechs are even worse on the bot front and maybe the tank might be annihilated fast.
Btw currently 156569 players and 117189 on Lesath, have never seen this split before.

Re: Valve's Steam Machine May Not Be As Affordable As a PS5

dardel

for a machine that was deemed as "not a competitor" to PS (still believe it is not), I can see a lot of comments from PS-only players towards the gabecube. I dont really think any PC player thought after the presentation and the specs that this machine will be as cheap as a PS. Neither "hardcore" PC gamers will benefit from this (it is just not that strong). But I do believe many gamers will find this interesting, specially it the price will be around the 1000€ tag. I would be personally more interested in the steamdeck successor, since my 5080RTX rig is way better than the steam machine.

Re: Arc Raiders to Be Packed Full of More Content Before the Year Is Over

dardel

I am still a bit hesitant to get it. Two of my buddies are playing and having a blast, but since OW I am off of PVP games. But this game looks really good, maybe I will go for the 2hour trial and see. Good to see that there will be an ongoing support this early, I guess they are trying the "forever game" way.
