Low content according to IGN preview

[[Wahr] Eogard]

In their last video "Final Preview Helldivers 2" the IGn guys says that in 3 hours he saw everything the game has to offer. What do you think of that ? I udnerstand the game is cheaper than msot release but 3 hours seems a bit low. Do you think it's their version that is different ? Or maybe in the end it doesn't really matter as long as the gameplay is engaging ?

IGN that bastion of previewing and reviewing games on the internet...... Lets not forget shall we.

Doesnt mean much in this type of game... look a deep rock galactic or any other game like that you can see most of the game in 3 hours too. What would have made more sense to mention is the amount of mission type etc but that asking to much for an ign review/preview to give real info lol

Its fine, we'll buy it in a year when they remove the rootkit and add in more content

Good luck, it will not be removed because of the crossplay with the Playstation 5 platform.

What do I think of what IGN said?

I think the same thoughts as when I think of my favorite horde shooter, Darktide:

These games main attraction is visceral combat and character builds options and are the key reasons why fans of the genre spend 1000s of hours playing these games.

Not to bash the IGN guy, but he is a pretty casual "Call of Duty Andy" who is not the target audience for a game like Helldivers.

Horde shooters/Helldivers/EDF are all niche games that appeals to a very specific subset of
shooter players.

meanwhile csgo where you saw everything after the first match and yet many people have over 10k hours in the game

I would argue that a pvp game offers a different ype of replayability. A coop pve game like DRG or L4D also gives a lot of replayability, both have mods, L4D have a lot of campaign and for DRG lots of post released content. So hopefully we'll learn more about the roadmap for Helldivers 2 since it's a Gaas game from what I understand.

Then why are you posting IGN's opinions regarding the game? As compared to your own? Unless ofc your opinion is the same(before the game is even released)

And you take their opinion as fact for this thread, because? Odd I have never dismissed a game(talked crap about), that I havent played myself. But they played it, so that was enough for you.....

They are talking about amount of content, not it's quality. It's objective. If you say there is only 2 factions and X types of objectives to do, it's something you can take as truth.

IGN is infamous for Half-Assing it. The only game they gave a 10 in recent memory was GTA V and that was just because the reviewer got lost in the game.

[Hussar]

Oh no please tell me more.
