For some, Helldivers 2’s anti-cheat software limits the ability to play at all (www.polygon.com)

I think the key you're missing is a friend group. The game excels when you play with friends you already know

Yeah, it's a good "playing with the gang" game. Friday night crack a brew or a blunt and just mindlessly shoot and laugh at dumb stuff.

Absolutly. Sometimes you find randoms that speak, or manage to work together and it is also good. But friends is the top tier.

Accidental friendly fire and crazy shouting when getting ambushed is like 60% of the fun of Helldivers 2.

For me, playing with friends is the vast majority of my playtime anyway since the little time that I get, I want to spend with my friends.

And if not, being engaged with the community on discord or Reddit. Knowing which fronts the community is working on and joining in really helps the kind of meta/RP aspects of the game.
