Your wants and needs are different from other people’s wants and needs, doesn’t mean other people are wrong.

Is one year really that long considering the dev cycles of big video games?

How is Itch user friendly? It literally just gives you a download and lets you figure the rest out yourself. If you have a big library, like if you bought one of those big charity bundles, you can’t even filter or search it in any way.

The difficulty

They at least have belt inputs now. MASSIVE quality of life improvement.

the thumbnail looks like a cheap mobile strategy game

So nobody actually claimed they were robots. This article is just sensationalist clickbait garbage for people who really want to see a chinese company get “BUSTED!” for something. Twitter replies are full of racism.

if we consider alyx to be the third installment then we have hl3 already

That doesn’t count. It’s a prequel, it doesn’t continue the story (except like 5 seconds), and it doesn’t resolve the cliffhanger we were left on.

Wait a moment, did anyone actually think those were robots? Did anyone claim they were actual robots? I saw the videos going around and people were generally just impressed at the makeup and costume work.

Replies in the twitter link make me laugh though.

@VicBeeSee: Full on idiotic post, the company didn’t pretend they were robots.

@Byron_Wan: It did… it didn’t tell others that those were human beings.

This either sounds like someone trying to make an issue out of nothing, or someone who got momentarily tricked and is embarrassed about it.

First question: You use

--download-sections "*00:00-10:00"

as an option to download the first 10 minutes. The asterisk means the numbers are treated as a timestamp instead of looking for a chapter with that title.

Second question I don’t know.

Heh, clever title

Wonder if it’ll be as money hungry as the original

My family still teases me for once playing a game where you had to pay real money to watch a pixel guy jump into the pool

Because Microsoft hasn’t yet captured 100% of the PC gaming demographic, thankfully.

There goes the “we need PSN to effectively moderate the online playerbase” lie right out the window…

Helldivers 2 is definitely undercooked. It’s probably one of the most unstable games I’ve ever played. I’ve experienced more crashes in 50 hours of HD2 than in 250 hours of vanilla Fallout 4 and 150 hours of lightly modded Skyrim Special Edition put together.

Not to mention the extremely strange bugs that pop up every new update. My friend would often get downright bluescreens from the game, sometimes he would be cursed and completely unable to be called in as reinforcement. The reinforcement beacon would just disappear after a few seconds. Other players on the team would still be called in, just not him.

Then the fact that flamethrowers didn’t work properly for anyone but the host for a long time, so Arrowhead responded by buffing fire damage in general. Cue the flamethrower still not working, and flamethrower enemies like the Hulk simply instakilling you instead. I’m not even sure if they’ve fixed that one yet.

Or armor values not working for a long time after launch. Or the kill messages when you die being completely up in the air, many times displaying that you were killed by a teammate or yourself when you get swarmed with enemies or thrown off a cliff. I’ve been accused of a lot of teamkills because of that. Or how shooting down an automaton dropship would have a 50% chance of actually killing the enemies under it, and a 50% chance of giving them a big bunker they can clip through and shoot out of, but you can’t shoot them back. Or Pelican 1 not landing for over a minute, just hovering in the air not even shooting at enemies. Then there were all the times that picking up medals or super credits inside the map would just paralyze your character completely, making you unable to move at all until you take some damage.

I really do not understand the online gamer circlejerk that has formed around this game. Is it the Battlefield Helldiver moments^TM? Screaming at ragdolls with your friends?

Worth noting that the boomer wojak meme started as “That 30 year old boomer”. It was never about actual Baby Boomers.

As if someone took the concept of spaghetti code and applied it to an entire company.

I’ve been trying to bury stories that are going around that I have the biggest dick in Britain. It’s hard work.

I won’t let you do this, the people deserve to know!

it was enabled on my phone and it never asked me

why does it need to be built in? What’s wrong with downloading one extension and being set afterwards?
