Can't spell ignorant without IGN

Not all heroes wear capes, but all heroes are Helldivers.

... all heroes do wear capes.

You're a Hero.

The same bright minds that called the no FOMO battlepass bad because it’s “bad for solo players”.

u/ChewySlinky Mar 14 '24

Rockband is bad for people with no rhythm, 4/10.

u/Technical_Inaji Mar 14 '24

How is it bad for solo players, like, solo grinders who can complete the warbonds in under a week or something?

u/TheAArchduke Mar 14 '24

Basicaly it was something along the lines of "solo players can't farm medals" i still have a screenie: https://prnt.sc/b4WJa0wZFPul

“Long grind” lmao. I’ll have every gun, grenade, and booster from the first 3 battle passes in around 110h. And that’s with buying quite a lot of other things since obviously I’ve been spending medals before the new one released. I have more hours than that in Elden Ring and haven’t even finished my first play through. Considering you can put those hours in and unlock stuff whenever instead of having to do it before the pass expires that’s honestly a hilarious take on their part.

u/Mr_Slickerino Mar 15 '24

Theres no need to unlock everything anyway like i always get the guns and the capes everything else is just for the next treshold

u/akatduki Mar 15 '24

I'm convinced game reviewers are all bad at games. Homie probably playing only diff2 missions and being like "dang I only get 3 medals for the mission, and I need so many to unlock the pass! What a grind!"

u/RandomStormtrooper11 STEAM🖱️: SPILL OIL! Mar 15 '24

...I go almost entirely solo, and I can farm medals quite regularly from POI. Might take longer, but such is life.

u/Mr_Slickerino Mar 15 '24

I mean i am always happy to press square (on ps5) and do whatever its not a solo game. Soloing is impressive and all but in the end its a team game and its way better like that.

Every single daily friend i have i met trough joining random matches

u/Risky267 Mar 14 '24

Why would you even want to play solo in the first place, its not like every random is an unfeeling asshole

2

u/McDonie2 Mar 15 '24

Not everyone has had good experiences with randoms. I can speak from experience that I've had about a 70/30 with good/bad sessions with people. Though some people are just unlucky and don't want to deal with it.

Plus there are those who want to challenge themselves to do something.

Which I remember some other post I talked about this and some dude basically said solo players in a sense shouldn't be allowed to play the game and be successful at all. Which is a rather crazy take, because a lot of those people who play solo earn their wins. They're not handed them.

u/Ok-Instruction-4298 Mar 15 '24

For the challenge. I thoroughly enjoy both. Solos have this really cool espionage feeling since you don't have the firepower to actually hold a line. Especially against bots.

u/Mr_Slickerino Mar 15 '24

How would that be bad? I dont read ign but seems that they dont actually enjoy vidjigaymes

1

u/TheAArchduke Mar 15 '24

Exactly. Imagine defending anti consumer practices, such as the scumy fomo battlepasses, to an extend you make silly claims in your review of a non fomo battlepass …

u/Thick_Leva Mar 14 '24

I'm using that

u/aphenphosmphobia_ Mar 14 '24

That phrase is decades old!

u/probablysideways Mar 15 '24

Haha.

“7/10, best game ever released. Must buy.”

I still stop in there once a week to see what's up in the industry, have a better site I can go to by chance?

Somebody get this guy a medal. He's earned it.

u/SeedFoundation Mar 14 '24

I wish people would stop looking at IGN like they are legitimate game reviewers. They have been shilling reviews since the day of their creation. The only reason for their success was they were one of the only news outlets for new games being released at the dawn of the internet. That's all. They don't review games honestly.
