Does this game get boring fast?
I wanna purchase but I am concerned that the gameplay loop is just dopping onto a planet, killing some of the same AI enemies and extracting. Is there enough variety mission to mission to keep things fresh?

yes it does get repetitive.
if the people responsible for settings would leave them alone it wouldn't be boring.
but they do mess with settings based on feelings.
I don't recommend anything from this company.
But do what you want.

No not really. The objectives are pretty much all the same. Press some buttons on a terminal, wait, press more buttons. The little tasks they have for objectives differ between one and another, but aren't engaging enough to really stand out. Tasks in Among Us are more engaging.

Yup, that pretty much sums it up.

I would say no, it does not get boring fast. Ofc like anything you do after 100h+ you will start geting bored with the game if you only play helldivers 2 24/7

The devs do add new things to the game to mess with every other week and ofc the Gm keeping the game somewhat fresh with new objectives and enemy types to kill does prevent the feeling of doing the same thing over and over again from setting in to fast unlike alot of other games

Yes, I wish you could use bots and lvl them up and that the game had some sort of story like a sp solo game but it is what it is and after the newness fades the game will also. but fun to dream!

It can get pretty boring, I've got 80+ hours and only really play on the weekends when my friends and I are off work so we can play together.

For me, it's another once of those "Eh, I guess i have an hour or so to use up" type of games.

I felt this way at first, but the game is the most fun with friends. I don't play with randoms so can't speak on that. I'm enjoying the game granted I'm not playing 12+ hours a day either to get burned out on it.

idk but this game always exciting me if you play 3-5 matches/play, never bored to comeback

Alot of people so far have had to put up with game crashes & patches that cause more crashes and break stuff that the devs leave broken for a week.
(even right now there is a game breaking bug caused by the last patch that will crash you on your 2nd missions during extraction.. devs know.. they wont do anything until next patch week.. meaning a full weekend of crashes)
They found out the the patch notes are always missing a bunch of stuff that the devs leave out on purpose.

All the environmental difficulty things they add to the game arent fun, its kinda like just thrown in there without thinking about the player, or it is thought about but in a testing mentality where the players are lab rats.

But id say that the game is missing a whole bunch of quality of life stuff.
  • From friends lists not working, missing names or not updating or unable to join their games.
  • Recent players list in a jumbled order.
  • Host kicking mechanics.
  • friendly fire with no actual court marshal mechanics.
  • janked player reporting methods.
  • quickplay connections, and the failing SOS.
  • People who join mid mission that can remove the weapons from the host thats still happening months later and has been around since launch.
  • missing rejoin buttons.
  • no gun range.
  • no shower.
  • Fog.
  • Safe Modes that are useless.
  • Guard dogs that kill your team and you.
  • having to use the armory to pick your emote instead of a radial menu.
  • Desync issues that let only the Host have full ability to enjoy the game making some things not work properly for the other members of the squad, like gas dot damage or fire dot damage or trying to kill stuff with your drop-pod that will only work properly if youre host.
  • the lack-luster visuals of the galactic war map and the planets health bars.
  • Even support stratagems if used enough can force crash players.
Just to name a few things.. theres plenty more..

And then repetitiveness of the combat (about 40 hours worth of playing will start to see it), because there are only so many patrols that appear out of thin-air instead of them coming from a factory or bug hole, along with the increased spawn rates even though you have decimated the entire region of the enemy on the map.. but they will continue coming and in much bigger numbers because.. Sony.. or something right..
And don't ask people about the Civilian rescue missions..

Its all pretty interesting to be apart of, even knowing about the game engine we play on is 8 years out-of-date and not receiving updates or future support.

I have over 100 hours and I'm still having a blast. Play it friends for maximum fun.

the game is broken

The live service mechanic and galactic war is intended to not make it repetitive. But it does become repetitive. After the honeymoon period, you are likely to just play a few hours whenever the war reaches a new planet, or when a new weapon is released.
