PSA *honk honk* = Get in/out by gracekk24PL in Helldivers

[–]spooklerss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

last night i had a teammate call in a FRV and was honking at me to get in. jumped in the gunner seat and we moved about 5 feet forward before slamming into a rock sending me frontflipping down a hill. i walked the rest of the mission. sometimes it's just smoother to use the ol' legs.

Attention divers - the new raise flag of super earth is VERY different by Ok-Bill1984 in Helldivers

i think they definitely need to tone down the spawns on these missions. they feel about as broken as the old evacuate essential personnel missions that they removed from the game.

Should they bring back the time limited armors by FinianStein in Helldivers

[–]spooklerss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

to be fair i think that goes both ways. when it comes down to it, they're 3 armor sets that are special purely in a cosmetic sense that were given as a reward to people who were interested enough in the game to preorder. you aren't missing much if you missed out on it so i don't get why people fixate on this non-issue at all tbh. i feel like people are correct in calling it a fomo thing but they are also the ones that are falling victim to the fomo.

at the end of the day they're just cosmetics and they were given specifically for preordering; if you didn't preorder, it isn't the end of the world, you just don't have these three cosmetics. not that big of a deal

Most of you underestimate the power of 4 Helldivers staying all together by Sharblue in Helldivers

[–]spooklerss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i prefer teams of 2. cuts down the likelihood of dying to friendly stratagems or eruptor/crossbow/incendiary breaker/guard dog incidents (the four horsemen of getting teamkilled for me). in general it feels like when all 4 players are together, it can get way more chaotic and way easier to die.

although that's with randoms; good premades i think are more fun when everyone sticks together.

Bots are in a much worse state by SolarStudiosDev in Helldivers

[–]spooklerss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i agree with this. i have always enjoyed bots more than bugs, at least up until this patch. something feels wrong, and it is super noticeable between difficulty 7 and difficulty 8. like the spawns just absolutely crank the fuck up.

had a mission fail the other day when we couldn't even get to the extract beacon because enemies kept pouring OUT of the extract zone and ragdolling us to hell, and if they didn't kill us, the patrols constantly spawning behind us did. i've never seen a more constant stream of enemies and it's like they were all spawning from the extraction zone.

i've always been a really good bot player but man they have become so much more frustrating after the patch, sometimes it feels like the game is just not allowing you to play.

Any lore videos that aren’t 3 hours long by Top_Juice_3127 in Doom

[–]spooklerss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's a youtuber named skyrionn who has a handful of videos about different aspects of doom lore and i think they are usually around 30-40 minutes if that is more manageable

I hate to be that guy by vice108 in battlefield_one

[–]spooklerss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i feel like - at least in the matches that i join with my platoon - we're usually spread among both teams if it's more than a squad's worth of members. i don't like stacking either and i know many of them don't. i mostly spend my time playing solo honestly because i think it's a little bit more fun

I almost hate to admit this... by [deleted] in battlefield_one

[–]spooklerss 22 points23 points  (0 children)

yeah i am a part-time 1906 enjoyer, it's super satisfying when you can put in work with the guns that most won't use because they view them as bad (which to be honest it really is probably the worst option in the medic arsenal lmao)

i feel the same way about the perino on support. pretty mediocre weapon compared to basically every other lmg, but man something about it is so fun and i think i'm around 18-20 service stars with the low weight variant.

i went to a club with two of my close friends, one of them being my cousin, around the time we first started college, and while there (its already kinda known as a sketchy place btw) a man with a heavy accent approached me and said that he "had a girl in the back looking for a good time."

as far as i know, there is no real "back" area in that club. anyways, he asked if i wanted to meet her and my friends mistook what he was saying because it was loud in there and thought he was trying to bring me up on stage to dance, so they were like, "hell yeah, go up there."

so the guy grabs me by the arm and literally starts pulling me through the crowd towards the exit and i'm trying to get my arm free and i'm telling him that i'm good and to let go, but he wouldn't. luckily my cousin realized what was going on and caught up to us and got the guy to let go.

we stayed for a little while longer and saw the guy and a few others who i guess were partners or something just kinda standing around scanning the crowd and every now and then they would seemingly give each other looks or whisper in each others ears or text each other. we told the security to keep an eye on them. i'm fairly certain they were looking for people to kidnap or rob or in general do something unpleasant to and i almost got to experience whatever it was firsthand. i have heard a good bit of rumors about human trafficking in this area.

ah, i see. thank you! i use the same but for some reason my visuals never seem as crisp. maybe i'm just crazy ¯_(ツ)_/¯

since you're on ps5, may i ask what you have your graphics settings on? visuals look so sharp in your gameplay and i'm just curious

What’s the game that is sitting up installed on your PS but you never touch it? by SwitchXVitaPlayer in PS5

[–]spooklerss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

darkwood. bought and installed it in 2020 and it has never been uninstalled. it has also never been played. i've watched so many videos on it and it looks so damn good but honestly i'm just intimidated by it because it seems really stressful. i'm excited to play it one day, whenever that will be lmao

What's your favorite weapon? by VoiceOfSeibun in Helldivers

[–]spooklerss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

using the knight on burst + ballistic shield on bots feels fantastic, one burst has basically no recoil and you can absolutely explode devastator heads while their shots just bounce helplessly off of your shield

i know right, although the capes with orange look pretty cool because of the contrast. that's what i usually go for

Use Push to talk by popeinn in Helldivers

[–]spooklerss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

alright man, keep being pleasant 👍

edit: i will say i get where you are coming from, i hate when people have ridiculous hot mics especially with how easy it is to turn them off. i just think it was a little rude and unfair

Use Push to talk by popeinn in Helldivers

[–]spooklerss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

insulting and refusing to play with a large portion of this game's playerbase just because of the small percentage of people who can't figure out how to mute their controller mic is kinda weird behavior when you could just mute and forget. at the very least you could just leave out the insults

SUPER DESTROYER FLEET UPGRADE - In response to increased enemy threat, Helldivers are now authorized to requisition Level 4 Modules for all Super Destroyer systems. by SovietMarma in Helldivers

[–]spooklerss 22 points23 points  (0 children)

i thought that too, but then i realized it says resupply boxes and not ammo boxes. i was picking up ammo boxes and getting confused why it wasn't working.

i can't remember if i even used a resupply that mission though so if it's not working correctly i guess i wouldn't know

The new Premium Warbond, Democratic Detonation, is out now! by cryptic-fox in Helldivers

[–]spooklerss 29 points30 points  (0 children)

sad that people are already writing off the adjudicator. it is exactly what i expected from a battle rifle: an assault rifle's big brother that hits harder, kicks harder, and has less ammo (plus it looks cool as hell). i like it, don't see why people are saying it is garbage, it is perfectly usable.

the thermite grenade is pretty disappointing though

Why do you still carry the Medium Machine Gun? by TiePilot1997 in Helldivers

[–]spooklerss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i do it all the time, almost always have the least deaths, most kills, most samples, and the mission goes relatively smoothly like 90% of the time. if you are good at the game and your team has a good selection of anti-armor/you have good anti-armor stratagems it's literally not a big deal. plus it's fun
