I'm one of the biggest fans of the DOOM franchise, I've played all the versions since the original one in 1993. But I don't care if I play it now or in half a year. Or a year for that matter. Never really understood why having it first matters to anyone. I'll be here when the prices drop.
I was stupid enough to buy Spacemarine 2, when it came out, at full price (mostly because I loved Boltgun so much) and that was a great lesson about how you should wait around a bit before actually buying a game. It would have been a fun game for 15 or even 20 euro, but it's not worth 70 euro. I Should have bought Helldivers, anyway ๐
I bought Space Marine 2 at launch, decided it needed more time. So I got Helldivers 2 which I immediately got addicted to and I love it.
Did you find it got better after the updates? I still think space marine is kind of meh, my son has fun with it though, which is nice
I'm on the same boat, I got 2016 around Eternal release date for like โฌ10 and loved it. Then I bought Eternal just last year for a similar deal and I haven't finished the DLC yet. I am more than happy to wait for DA to go on sale.
I regretted buying HellDivers. I honestly think that it becoming as popular as it did is a damning indictment of the state of coop shooters.
I still haven't bought it, played it at a friend for a while, and had a lot of fun ๐คท
