I almost feel like this has actually been eroding my friendships over the last 4 or 5 years. Everyone always wants to play the new hot game that is out, I'll try it and not really be into it too much and they'll keep playing it with people from work or whatever. I keep trying to ask if they want to play games with me that I enjoy, even ones we used to play together, but it never happens :P It's more or less gotten to the point where I don't even try out most new games anymore since I know I'll probably play them twice, think they're just okay, and then within the next month something else new comes out that everyone switches to anyway. My friends I've had for over a decade are now better friends with people they've known for like 3 or 4 years than they are with me. I know people change and friend groups change and stuff, it's part of life, but having nobody IRL that enjoys the same stuff as you kinda sucks. I don't even try to be a hipster or anything. I'm not trying to be actively against popular stuff. I don't even think things being popular is why I stay away from them. I think my tastes just often REALLY don't align with any larger community.
really I just needed a game that was actually fun to play with my friends. Nearly my whole friends list has this game and I feel young again.
@Dielan i haven't actually looked into helldivers 2 at all because i have no money right now lol, no point in looking into a game if i don't have the money to play it xD
the next game i'm gonna buy is princess peach showtime, which exemplifies this whole thing perfectly xD it also reminds me of when i bought animal crossing when all my friends bought DOOM eternal, or when i bought kirby and the forgotten land when they all bought elden ring.
Just the other day they added an 15minute AFK kick and doubled the server capacity. It was a little rough before that
If you get it now/soon/later you won't have any problems logging in.
