How to get my friends to try DRG ? (lemmy.world)

Most of my friends play FPS games like Valorant, Apex, CSGO, etc.. Recently everyone has been into some chill co-op games like Borderlands and Payday so I suggested DRG but none of them seems to like it.

They have this misconception that, the game is just entirely mining and no shooting.

Little do they know, I'm having a blast with fun mods and randoms.

Right now DRG is even on steam sale..

I'd love to know how you guys got your friends to give DRG a chance

Tell them

It's mainly a lot of shooting
It's non linear levels with destructible terrain (endless possibilities for traversal and tactical changes to the battlefield)
The mining is just as one objective to complete (because the maps are not linear)
Pacing is fantastic (on the right difficulty level). I had chills down my spine the first time making a mad dash for the escape pod while we were getting overrun the swarm
It's basically Left 4 Dead , but new and improved with classes, heavy dynamic lighting, procedurally generated maps, destructible terrain etc

Seconding the idea of comparing it to Left 4 Dead. Procedurally generated maps mean you don't have to play the same hospital and circus over and over though.

Also they can play as the gunner and nobody will expect them to mine much of anything.
