Helldivers |OT| Everybody Fights, Nobody Quits.

Has anyone else experienced random connection drops when playing alone. Sometimes i can play a few games and everything is fine. The day before and today i keep getting connection errors where it kicks me out of my game (solo)
 
This is definitely one of my favorite games of the year so far. Pure gaming bliss, hard but not unfair, and phenomenally devious cooperative play wherein you love and hate your partners simultaneously. <3

There is also way more depth there than it might seem at the start.
 
So how is this game overall? Worth the entry price? I usually co-op with my brother but he's gonna be busy for awhile, so I was just wondering how the solo content is on this game? Won't have anyone to co-op with, but the trailers looked really neat for this and I love twin stick style shooters.

I would have paid more for it, honestly. You'd have a tough time solo but the online community seems pretty cool, not a lot of trolling or anything with kills.
 
Ugh, the friendlist bug is annoying. Only those friends that are offline show up, the online ones are neatly tucked away :-\

I've only been able to see online friends a total of 4 times now :-(

seems pretty awesome game, everyone better get it!
 
First game experience: get connected. Spawn hear someone yelling "he's going to kill you". Spend the next 5 minutes fighting the remaining teammate until he kills me. I didn't know how to get help. Awesome

Sounds ultra-rare. Would have just left. The overwhelming multiplayer experience is one of fun and friendly teamwork.
 
Whoa, so now we lost Gellert region. Arrowhead definitely need to tweak influence gain. I wonder if they anticipated a lot more players?

For more positive news I finally got my friends list working again, by purging over 150 gaffers from my friends list. So it's definitely an issue that occurs when you have a lot of friends.

I also bought the game a second time, this time on my main account so I get the UAV for those all-important samples. :)

How many friends do you have now?
 
so in order to win you have to get a full bar? Lol, balance the shit out of it or it'll never happen.

anyone up for co-op now? Those gaffers rooms were full. :,(
 
I realized what 4 players feels like:

So I haven't seen much of this game since last year's Giantbomb quick look. How does multiplayer work? Is there matchmaking to put you in with three other players?
 
So random player just starts shooting and killing me during a mission. Over and over. Each time I came back he'd immediately kill me again. Fun.
 
Yea servers are still acting crazy. I don't know why you don't have some sort of invite system. Pretty apalling that even BF4 shipped with the same jump into someone else's game system.
 
This game is fucking awesome! Delivering freedom is awesome!

I don't remember the last time I played a game without paying attention to time at all.

If anyone else is on the fence, don't! Jump in! Is fantastic and super fun!

I had 0 before starting Helldivers, I've got like maybe 15 now and it still doesn't work though I see how much people are playing Helldivers in the friends app atm. They're working on the issue though, glad you got through though.

Yeah, I lost connection in about half my online games. It's really annoying but I'm hoping/assuming Arrowhead will sort it out soon.

However, I've been playing this for about the last hour, and it is glorious. It's so much fun, and it's beautiful chaos when the shit hits the fan and you're all battling, falling back and deploying Strategems. I imagine it must be amazing playing in a room with three friends. Really impressed so far, and I love the Starship Troopers feel.
 
Man, it's only the third day...and the third system has already been unlocked.

I want MOAR systems to aggresively spread our democracy!

That actually sounds really awesome! haha!
 
This game is so awesome! Love the gunplay and entire aspect of multiplayer online and offline.

They definitely went beyond and delivered. It's filled with content and I hope they're making a lot more! Expand on this universe.
 
So I'm using the "Camper"...a long ranged rifle of sorts. It's great cause it's accuracy is amazing and one shots the bigger aliens (if aimed at the centre). I just hate it when I got a well-aimed shot lined up, and some dude just decides to get in my laser sights just as I'm about to pull the trigger. BAM...accidental +1.

Yes, and you can play solo too if you like.

PS: RIP Gellard City, did one mission but it was impossible to succed at that, I mean I left the game with one hour left and we barely moved from the beggining
 
Distraction Beacon and GTFO is a valid strategy.

So is shooting survivors who are too far away from their rescue point.
"Helldiver, did you rescue that family on Artis III?"
"Negative, Command. They were already dead when we found them."
 
Can you play local and mp at the same time? I'll admit this one crept up on me.

Also what do you guys think the staying power of the mp community will be?

You can have any combo of local players and online friends. For example, three on the couch and one online friend.
 
Dumb question: you can cross play this with friends on other consoles right? For example, I can join up with my friends on their PS4s when I'm on my VITA?

If so:
