    Eh, there’s a lot that could be said about Helldivers, at least as a PC port.

    Great game, nice content delivery, very cool. No DLSS, no modern FSR (it straight up uses an horrendous implementation of FSR 1.0), very bad usage of multiple threads, quite a few bugs - the armour ratings literally did not work, as in, a crucial feature of the game that changes the entire balancing of gear and enemies did not apply, meaning you could have a party of a heavy gear tank and light gear medic and both would take the same damage from the same enemies.

    Again, the game itself is very fun. But I’m absolutely not going to praise this port and claim it’s a shining example of developer quality.

      yeah but ultimately it doesn’t matter because the end product is good on the whole

      i feel those kinds of details are exactly what meddlers would want to meddle in, when the entire argument of the article is that the game manages to be good on the whole not despite its lack of meddlers but because of it

          Somewhere along the way I lost the verve to argue about this kind of thing. It’s not that I can’t, I just don’t care anymore

          Edit: The guy below me has a valid point. Ignore this comment.

          if you respond to “touch grass” with anything along the lines of an imperious “hah what fallacious and illogical reasoning” while pushing up your glasses on the bridge of your nose like an anime villain, then yes i think it might be meadow time for you

            I have no idea how to respond to this lol, I couldn’t understand a single phrase on this comment. What’s anything got to do with anime here?

            I know this is tangential to the argument at hand, but you guys reminded me I really need to touch grass, I’ve been buried in way too much work. I think I’m going to drive out to the coast and stare at the waves for 30 min today.
