My impression is that the satire of HellDivers 2 was made so extremely unsubtle that even the people who didn't realize that the Starship Troopers movie was satire will get it this time.
I’m watching an essay breaking down #Helldivers2 from a live service and monetization standpoint and starting to wonder how long its currently formula will work.
#ArrowheadStudios has said they’re shooting for around one warbond per month. That’s 12 new sets of weapons, armor, and cosmetics. Is that a realistic pace? Will these weapons just start feeling same-y (some argue they already are)? Yeah you can earn currency in-game, but at face value that’s ~ $120/year game.
@stux uh oh. Looks like SONY is doubling down on their PSN bans. In addition to not actually walking anything back, they've now added 3 more countries to their #helldivers2 banned list.
Not only that, they've now done the same for Ghost of Tsushima Director's Edition
#Helldivers2 “A smart player relies on calling down air strikes and support weapons with a neat little dial-a-warcrime system.” 😆
Note that Yahtzee isn’t keen on multiplayer games in general, not even PvE games, so of course he isn’t that keen on HD2. But that line was too good not to share.
#Helldivers2 Has anyone found a non-Twitter social bot, subreddit, whatever that posts the daily Super Store offerings? I'm tired of booting the game just to check
Just played #Helldivers2 for the first time in a couple of weeks, and I think we just had our first true encounter with griefers...one of them kept calling in air strikes everywhere we had to be at, and the other shot us any time we had samples, including right outside of the extraction point right as we were getting on ship.
We've been pretty lucky in helldivers so far, actually met a few people we sent friend requests to after because we got along great. I don't understand what enjoyment griefers get from making the game suck for others. Guess I'm not fked up enough 🙃
Join in 30 minutes over on https://twitch.tv/imperorthefirst and cheer for democracy with this new recruit. Capitalism for once defeated itself and thus the stream card for tonight will commemorate this momentous event!
Looks like Sony reversed their decision on forcing people to create a PSN account and link it to steam to continue playing Helldivers2. So maybe next stream I can finally play Helldivers 2, not that I don't like Fallout 4, but I can always come back to Fallout 4 later.
I may stream again tonight or at least Wednesday seeing how I feel this evening.
Outside of the countries without PSN loosing access I saw this whole Hell Divers 2 thing as ridiculous. But hell, If review bombing actually gets publishers to stop doing evil shit I’m all for it … #gaming#psn#helldivers2#steam
