This is an extraction shooter now?

[Paper Rival]

Boo. Was looking forward to it as a PVE game. Removed from wishlist.

Happy for PvP players though...

the game looks impressive, I'm just too old to keep up with ya'll.

whats sad it was a very fun as a PVE game which i actually played in some of the super early tests. When they switched to PVP the sheer number of cheaters and overall not fun is extreme now

Wow, yeh that's about what I'd expect.

I just have no interest in dealing with cheaters and trying to compete with people that derive their self worth from how skilled they are at a video game.

With PvE you can actually get immersed in the world and the gameplay loop doesn't revolve around the potential frustration of dying.

Ugh, what a shame.

Maybe the devs will reconsider when everyone abandons it for the next big PvP trend. By then it will probably be too late though. Now they're competing with Bungie and whatever their extraction shooter is called. (To be fair, this does look better then that game though.)

Pvp was already added at the closed alpha from 2023. How would you have played a PVE only version of the game ?

I dont think I saw any cheating issue during my time in the tests. I found the game to be very immersive regardless of the presence of pvp. Some missions require you to extract with specific loot but others are completed from just interactong with things or exploring a place, so dying in game doesnt prevent all progress. I hope they do great story telling with this game. I would have enjoyed a coop pve version of this game with cool seasonal storytelling, but its Embark's baby and they believe the game is more fun as a pvpve. We'll see how it goes.

Yes for two years now (even longer if you count the prototyping phase)

Exactly. I don't get why people have to lie to make a point.

Im not big on extraction shooters either. Add it to the pile of other failed attempts. But if they also have PVE without forced PVP it could do well in this setting. As this combination could make it a Helldivers 2 2.0 in a sense.

[Diviy]

U're kinda late on the clock my friend.
Why don't like PVP games?

[Orphan Puncher]

im glad its gone PVP extraction personally. there is plenty of single player games that are good for PVE.

[AXL]

God Bless it's PVP shooter.

[V.V.R]

Same, when the game was announced, it was PVE coop shooter, now it's "another" pvpve extraction clone. Lost all interest, funny that I got invited to test, because I enlist when it was known as PVE still

[.n]

when the first time arc rider reveal the hell divers 2 devs wishes they were as good as arc riders when in the early development and now it's the other way around.

should have stays pve now that hell divers 2 is kickingass.

There's already so many options for pvp extraction shooters. PVE games don't have the longevity of them simply because of the nature of AI enemies and tailored experiences getting repetitive.

Seeing this change away from pve to pvp is immensely disappointing personally.
