Is the game worth getting into now as a total newbie?
I enjoy it. It is more fun with a group of friends though.
I haven't been on in a couple weeks but the player base was on a pretty steady decline. The whole PSN debacle really sucked the air out of the room. Otherwise the game was tons of fun despite its issues.
As a newbie, it will be a “don’t know what you’re missing” situation. As long as you’re in the lucky group not affected by performance issues and some of the more outrageous bugs, it should be a good time. But if you’re not in a hurry or facing a sale, I’d recommend waiting a bit longer to see if this upcoming patch addresses any of those tech problems.
Of course I'd be playing with randoms as I don't have friends playing this game
I don’t think who you play with will affect your enjoyment. I maintain HD1 as being one of my favorite coop games of all time with an overwhelmingly solid community. I think that largely carried over to 2, even with the boom. The biggest barrier to enjoyment is the game itself right now. But, being new, maybe the little things that irk people with hundreds of hours won’t impact you before they get fixed.
Started a few weeks ago, it feels much harder compared to deep rock galactic but I am loving it so far
Almost certainly
