Is the game still worth getting?

[DeltaUnknown]

So to keep things short i recently upgraded my PC so i can finally run this game. But things seem to have been going down hill when i take a look at reddit, youtube or here on steam. Is this just the loud minority or is the game actually being dragged through the mud?

Edit: Bought the game, having a blast, stop whining about X weapon being nerfed so now a difficult difficulty is actually difficulty. Thats the point of difficulty!

Still good. The nerf to the I breaker wasn't a big deal, flamethrower change hurts though.

Of course this only really applies to the bugs. Come to the bot front, we have cookies.

So people are being loud over the fact that a powerfull tool was nerfed to make the end-game challenges more, well, challenging?

Carefull asking for opinions in here.

99% of the time you'l only get Copium Enjoyers and people who start hyperventilating whenever they can't trivialize an already easy to kill enemy.

But it's not cause the game got harder for them since they can't use the same broken toys.
It's because of their very funny perception of quote on quote... ""Fun""

i get that some people are crying about their favorite toy not being optimal for harder difficulties anymore or something, but if i get comments like you and the previous guy, alongside those. that just confirms my suspicion that yeah its a vocal minority that is angry.

I breaker was easily the best horde clear vs bugs due to a variety of factors. After the nerf, it's still easily the best horde clear vs bugs, you just can't spray as much.

Flamethrower was the the best tool against an overtuned enemy that spawns way too often on high difficulties, and the change gimped it pretty bad.

My biggest gripe with the game is that it crashes / freezes to often. So much time collecting samples only for the game to crash and reset your progress over and over again. It's a good game when it works!!

Oke, but can you confirm thats a game issue, pc issue or some other issue with software in the background?

The game is perfect for newbies.
It's people who fall into 'metas' that get salty about adjustments.

Being fair, it's likely to be a game issue; AH made a substantial core update:
- new monsters, biomes, tweaks
- complete rewrite of social-system
Bugs are inevitable - they will fix it in a 7 days or so as it's high priority for them.
Moreover, the history with Sony has caused all reports to be exaggerated.

If you are willing to spend money, then sure, go ahead. If you are on a tighter budget, then save your money and do not buy.

Sadly it's not a vocal minority, majority of the "nerf" complaints are coming from inexperienced or casual players that for the sake of their lives, refuse to either improve at the game, or get out of their comfort zone.

Borderline reaching levels of addiction at this point as their only complaint is not being able to cheese higher difficulties on terminids anymore while also refusing to reduce their own difficulty because reasons.

So for someone who just wants to occasionally hop-on kill some bugs/bots, maybe with some friends from time to time.

I think so, i can say that im still having fun with the game but im still kinda new (below level 40) but i will say im having more fun watching the community explode after the update.

Sure unlocking literally everything is a big time investment, but you get mostly everything importantly pretty quickly. It's fine for casual play. The last level barrier for unlocking stuff is 25 out of 150.

In the first few months of release, it was worth playing. Now? It's miserable. You want to have fun? You like using X weapon? Nerfed! Enemies buffed!

There is zero excuse. Every weapon in the game is just miserable to use. The developers say the game doesn't have a meta but they are forcing one onto us with all these nerfs. The developers don't even play their game either. Thank you Hello Neighbor dev for your amazing balancing!

Clear incompetency across the board.

No, I cant recommend a game that nerfs things every update and worse nerfs new warbonds immediately after release or even before release in this case.
