For some, Helldivers 2’s anti-cheat software limits the ability to play at all (www.polygon.com)

Really wanted to like this game. The hype had me.

I played it, waiting for it to get good. It just never did for me. Maybe I'm missing something, but after 10 hours I felt like I'd seen pretty much everything.

As for the anti-cheat, I understand why they'd have that. I've played so many games where people cheat and it just kills the fun. Even when it is PvE.

I don't really understand the mindset of the cheaters though. Do they think we all talk about how great they are after the game is over? Like, Bobfucker326 sure did shoot more stuff than any random player I've ever seen, he must have a massive wang and be great at maths and stuff.

I think the key you're missing is a friend group. The game excels when you play with friends you already know

Accidental friendly fire and crazy shouting when getting ambushed is like 60% of the fun of Helldivers 2.

For me, playing with friends is the vast majority of my playtime anyway since the little time that I get, I want to spend with my friends.
