This aspect of gaming really annoys me. I'm old enough to have played games for months or years because I just enjoyed playing the game. This notion of unlocking shit, seasons, cosmetics etc, whilst fun to be rewarded for, should be a minor reason for playing a game. Once I've unlocked everything in Helldivers I'm likely to continue playing regardless because I find it fun - to the point where I'm not sure exactly what everyone is complaining about. So they unbalanced a weapon to make it a shadow of its former self, just use something else you sook. The tiny attention span of people these days does my head in.
Not sure on the reason for the downvotes here. My understanding is they marketed it very poorly and they brought a hero shooter to a saturated market without adding anything new
And if Battlefield were still worth playing I'd give a shit. It has been well over 12 years since I got excited about a Battlefield game.
Part of the solution is definitely weeding out the people purposely working against the good of the country.
Street Fighter was OK, wasn't it? I'm asking because I haven't seen it since I was a teenager and my sensibilities may have changed since then.
