Good for Nostalgia.

AI is trash just like the originals so that hasn't changed. The devs at Genki still believe that "bumper cars" is how they want to represent highway street racing in Japan. Crash is King. Luck is the true Emperor of the Wangan.

I can't believe that I supported this. I am being forced to drive like a road raging NPC just to win. At least it's almost over.

The Dev's earliest actions have given me hope.

Pretty Good

EDIT: After a few more hours in, nothing has quite touched the 'tism scratch this game has had on my brain. Easy to jump in and out of, fun, amazing tuning/cosmetics suite, and passable physics for a simcade.

UPDATE:

Turns out the Developers will just openly lie about what they will/will not do in terms of patches/updates. Not cool Shams.

Is it really that much harder to improve other weapons and market them as "R&D Improvements", instead of downgrading weapons after the fact?

ORIGINAL:

First time Helldiver player here. Co-op PVE games shouldn't have Nerfs. Full stop. If anything you should Buff less used weapons. If you think adding new enemies constantly (I personally welcome the challenge) and THEN nerf the weapons at the same time is in some way fair, then you are misguided. There will always be a META in all games, because naturally we eventually narrow down the most EFFECTIVE way to deal with the current enemies.

Now, if you add more complicated enemies and steal a few mags from us at the same time, that's akin to someone arranging a fight for you, then revealing "Hey, they have a knife now but also I gotta tie one of your arms behind your back." It comes off as a totally Dev serving game, only for your enjoyment, but WE are the players, not you.

In a game like say, Destiny had PVE and PVP weapons, even in their spotty history of blessing/cursing certain guns, they still very clearly left the PVE weapons untouched. It was fair, never did I feel that they encroached too much on my Freeroam and Competitive play sessions.

I am still gonna keep playing the game because I believe you guys will turn this around. But damn it sucks right now.

Personally I can't even recco this game to new players because I am having trouble keeping up with the changes as well.

69 HRS. NICE.

Race at high speeds through the C1 Loop with your friends like a bunch of delinquents? Yes please.

Make Runes, Get Maidens

So after sinking a few more hours in to the game, I still want to play. Gud game.

You will love this game. You will hate this game. /thread.
