Why you should pick up this game now and dive into your true destiny.
If you can draw yourself away from Helldivers 2, you can pick up the first game for less than $20 right now, but you’ll need to be quick.
In the update players will receive Proving Grounds and an improve loadout system.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Competing with other players online is ingrained into the gaming ecosystem these days, with every hardware manufacturer (even the previously resistant Nintendo) offering ways to connect to others over the internet to engage in multiplayer. Ever since SEGA blazed a trail with their gone-too-soon Dreamcast and titles such as Chu Chu Rocket and Phantasy Star Online, the console landscape changed towards embracing the internet – solidified further by Microsoft’s Xbox initiative in 2001.
On handhelds, inroads into online gaming were slower, but with the advent of Sony’s PSP in 2005 that changed again and suddenly portable experiences were offered that could also connect with other players across the world. This was refined further with their next-generation handheld the PlayStation Vita, which offered improvements like easily accessible friends lists, system-based party chat, alongside some of the best portable online games that were available at the time of its release."

Killzone Mercenary has spectacular gameplay and great mp. Underrated game.
Helldivers was pretty awesome to have on Vita.
NFS MW worked well on Vita.
Killzone Mercenary is not only a phenomenal KZ, it has the best integrated system shared between the campaign and the online community. I wish more shooters were this incredible.
Nope. Both are good games. Both have their own strengths and their own flaws. And both are pretty different games as well.
this is a funny article as i told my friend this the other night when we were playing Helldivers. "Man, this is out-destiny-ing destiny", "destiny would have been better if it played like this", etc. I absolutely love the mission structure in Helldivers.
I'm still hooked on Destiny, dunno quite why, but the game really has me coming back for more and I find it hard to get into other games now. I play something else for a bit, then I just go back to Destiny and forget about the game I was playing without even finishing it.
I briefly looked into Helldivers after seeing this article, looks very Diablo-like. I got the Ultimate evil edition of Diablo and it was quite fun, but I never did complete it as the sweet siren song of Destiny lured me away after only a week or so (so far that's been my max, a week away from Destiny before I come crawling back itching for my fix).
There must be something about the endless grind that messes with our brains, as naturally I want something to come to a conclusion, and be done. But with Destiny it never ends...
Helldivers is a great game, even though we had a bit of a mishap the other day with the Bug Homeworld invasion. Hope Arrowhead continues working out the kinks and supporting it.
Helldivers Is Everything Destiny Should Have Been WHAT? There 2 different games period.
