Blurry cat pics are the best cat pics

I’m fairly sure you can’t hear enemy voice chat in CS2, so I imagine you wouldn’t hear the theme song. Not sure about the other games tho.

Most of the graphical changes seem… fine I guess. The characters faceplant right into the weird hyperrealistic uncanny valley tho.

I’m not sure them mentioning more dialogue and cutscenes makes me particularly excited. Seeing what they’ve changed and added in the trailer doesn’t inspire confidence, it feels like those joke AAA gaming tutorial things where they state the obvious in a hyper positive cheesy voice and maybe I’m just picky because its different, but here we are.

The multiplayer looks sort of neat, too bad I’d have to buy a switch 2, pay for Nintendo online, and suffer on Nintendo’s shitty servers to use it.

I’ll probably just stick to the recomp. My favorite part of the game is the gameplay, and that looks completely unchanged.

This comment is a decent example of the antagonistic relationship that helldivers seem to have with the devs. I doubt they are actively trying to ruin their own game, but mistakes are very regularly framed that way in feedback, and said feedback is usually very angry, and usually written in a way to insult the developers competence or choices.

I just don’t see that level of anger in most other games, and I really don’t know what’s so different in this case.

The helldivers community seems to constantly be one patch away from burning down arrowhead studios, so there’s that.

Grand total it has 4 extra buttons, 2 capacitive strips, 2 touchpads, gyro, and the fancy magnetic joysticks. $100 did not surprise me at all.

Of course, if you don’t care about any of those features, it isn’t the best deal, in the same way that a luxury sports car makes for a shit commuter vehicle. Not that the steam controller is “luxury” but like, if you don’t want the extra features then the higher price probably isn’t worth it. That doesn’t make it overpriced, it means you aren’t the target audience.

Full disclosure. I’m that target audience. I’m already mentally mapping extra buttons to the left touchpad and thinking about setting the back buttons to my armored core’s shoulder weapons.

I mean, I get if you wanna use AI for that, it’s your project, it’s free, you’re a volunteer, etc. I’m just not sure I like the idea that they’re obscuring what AI was involved with. I imagine it was done to reduce constant arguments about it, but I’d still prefer transparency.
