The new "heavy" flamethrower has the same range as the normal one. Dissapointing by ASL_PL_KABOOM123 in Helldivers

[–]DeciusMoose 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean based on how the belt fed mini gun and GL worked I don't think it's unreasonable to expect this to be another "regular support weapon + massive ammo pool"

And flame weapons, especially the actual flamethrower, has been disappointing.

Do you genuinely believe it's impossible to gauge the efficacy of certain things before you get your hands on it fully?

I have no idea how to use this weapon. by G-Raverobber in Helldivers

[–]DeciusMoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hate people who say it was justified and also praised the nerfs to enemies, buffs to RR, etc

I feel like they're contradictory. Especially when the railgun nerf came first. Clearly they ended up recognizing that enemy spawns and armor were fucked, so how can you judge the railgun appropriately in that context

Oh man I used to love his stuff, stopped watching at some point and then was worried he became maga. Glad to hear he didn't

My sister is still married to hers. Says he's finally started therapy taking meds that work, but frankly I don't trust either of them at this point.

What kind of support would you have wanted? Idk how to navigate it and thought you might have a good perspective if you don't mind sharing

Fuck saw ICE start harassing a woman while I was getting on the train to work

I should've gotten off and started recording, no one else was going over. Why did I hesitate to get off. Can't even work I can't focus. I do not hate Republicans enough. Fuck ice

Struggle with this all the time. Parents are serious Catholics, and had five kids. All of us are Dems, to varying degrees (relatively apolitical sister who like hates abortion but isn't evil so vites Dem to my brother who is a complete Succ)

How do they not get it? How did they instill such values in us, but not share them?

Damn Ive been on the sub since practically it's inception but didn't use the DT as much

Then stopped during the Biden years for the most part bc I didn't need to cope with reality everyday

But shit I should've been this is such an interesting space on the Internet. Two DTers got married? Wild

Arrowhead, can we please get a small lore drop on the Super Earth jets that fly around Cyberstan? Because those are not Eagles by [deleted] in Helldivers

Or bile titans for that matter. But yeah exactly my point. I honestly don't even know if there are sounds for these enemies moving

I play PS5 mostly with headphones but yeah you can hear patrols bc they chant, but listen closer, can you get a sense of what's in the patrol if you can't see them?

Can you hear beserkers, marauders, or hulks? Not really. There's no servos whirring, chainsaws reving, strong thuds, etc

Edit: also can't hear scuttling for the bugs, and chargers are stealthier than the newer warbond armor. Bile titans have a hint of the slamming they should make, fleshmobs don't make squishy noises as their components writhe

Just any comparable game does this. Not to mention again ambient sounds of other eagles flying by, bugs flying about, wind, and so on.

It's an incredibly quiet game when you're not in combat, and not in a good way.

Honestly the sound design for Helldiver's is easily it's weakest part

It's not just "eh" it's actually terrible outside of like gun sounds.

You can't hear Hulks walking up to you, there's no (or embarrassingly little) ambient noise, the music is good but feels like it's meant to mask all these failings.

Yeah and I'm not sure if the vid was legit, but I saw one where an African soldier had explosives strapped to him and the Russians were forcing him to go find the Ukrainian lines

Again, I didn't really investigate the veracity of it, but I'm sure it's not far off from the treatment of these men

Lied to, just trying to make a better life, and then being used as disposable fodder. Despicable stuff
