  I havent seen Gamebillet before. Is it a legit place to buy games without risking putting your Steam account at risk?

    Yes

    Easy way to check is to go to the OzB store page. They're an official store, not a keyshop like CDKeys or Eneba.

    They're listed on IATD (IsThereAnyDeal), so they should be fine.

    If you're unsure you could always grab it from GreenManGaming or Fanatical, if you're more familiar with them. (Less than a dollar more expensive, but you may have to hand in your ozb card.)

      Works out to be ~$0.40 cheaper if you use Cashrewards on Fanatical, but if you're not bothered to go through all that cashback stuff, no reason not to go GameBillet as they are undoubtedly legit.

  This is quite possibly one of my favourite games of all time. Highly recommended

  Is this game any good now? More recent reviews are putting me off, especially comments about the developers and such

    They just put out a 60 days road map for more balancing, but for right now, it's not that good, feels too grindy and not rewarding

    Its only really fun playing with your friends that you know well. Randoms on the internet just do dumb shit and ruin it. Eg: killing you for no reason at the end of an hour long mission, so you essentially get zero xp

      I'm at level 83 and I haven't encountered this at all. I only play with randoms.

        Lvl 118 here and yeah never really encountered griefers until recently.

        People are just bored of the game and hate the direction the devs took. Still rare though I maybe only encountered 1 or 2 "chaos divers" in the last month.

      It happens, but if it's at the end of a mission the main thing you lose is whatever samples you were carrying if no one else picks them up before leaving. You still get all the mission XP bar the small amount you would have gotten for successful extraction. No mission is an hour long either. :V

      totally agree (Disco-Jango). 3 or 4 of us (long time gaming together) have regular sessions, do comms on discord, sort out roles/tactics with each mission. We have a lot of fun with this game - we team well but there is still a lot of audible panic screams at times which just adds to the fun, not to mention the 'accidentals' scan in the stats at mission end.
      we're looking forward to this week's largish update with new stratagems and warbonds

    The only real issues the game has had were technical troubles like the initial server issues and the frequent crashes. The actual gameplay has always been good.

    • 

      FireRunner on 15/09/2024 - 13:19

      From recent reviews, it sounds like they’ve changed the game quite substantially so it’s a lot more “grindy”.
      I think the sever issues and the PSN account have been resolved and aren’t the concern anymore

      • 

        Altashi on 15/09/2024 - 13:27

        The only thing that really needs to be grinded are super credits for warbonds, because they want people to spend real money on those otherwise. But this has always been the case from the start.
        Samples could be considered grindy too, but that comes down to what difficulty you play on.

    Its good up to above level 60, then once you have everything, gets very very boring. Pity the developers just dumped this game out and have done next to nothing to it at all. Same missions, same maps, same bugs, same glitches, same crashes.

    @DiscoJango, totally agree, there are absolute morons running around this game, I tend to play Helldive as 95% of people playing that have mics and are decent.

      We'll be getting a big update with the Illuminate faction sooner than later. Chances are it'll be happening after this current little story arc with the Gloom. The devs recently accidentally enabled their faction zones on the map for a few minutes so they gotta be getting close.

  Lots of people are saying it runs fine on Linux with minor tweaks.

    Runs fine on Steam Deck too.

  Has Arrowhead/Sony released the region locks on playing this game? I've got family overseas who due to the game being locked for sale in their region, can't play it and had wanted to game with me.

  • 

    krisspy on 15/09/2024 - 13:04

    No update on region locks. No review bomb Cape also :(

  • 

    Altashi on 15/09/2024 - 13:04

    Nope. They said they'd do something, everyone rejoiced and then nothing came of it.

  Just need a sale on PS5 version now

  iDrownFish on 15/09/2024 - 13:25

  Personally loved the game early on, then the devs decided to ruin it by endlessly nerfing everything that was fun to use… doesn't seem to have recovered since

    There's an update coming out in a few days which sees them undoing most of the nerfs. Seems like they're even making the Railgun more powerful than what it was to begin with.
