Also on the steam page... pre launch. Ive had this game wishlisted since it was announced. Not to say your reasoning for not liking isnt invalid. Its just what it is

#

And its not really Arrowheads fault either. Its published by Sony. My house, my rules kinda thing going on.

grave lantern
#

Tbh the shit between Steam and PSN has been busted since the beginning, I'm glad they're finally streamlining it

#

It's only going to improve stability and make it so that friends don't randomly go offline and shit

obsidian arch
#

I understand not liking it, but I think people are being dramatic.

grave lantern
#

I do have a friend in Bosnia who won't be able to play after the shift, which sucks. I hope he gets a refund

exotic pawn
#

It’s especially sad since a lot of Baltic countries are EU members

#

And none have PSN access

grave lantern
#

on account of the crimes

exotic pawn
#

They can try to sidestep it with a VPN, but it’s against Sony’s TOS to do so. I hope Steam automates refunds for people that can’t make an account

indigo herald
#

Sony try not to be greedy challenge impossible

grave lantern
#

Not sure this is a greed thing

#

network stuff has been dodgy on this game from the start, merging PSN and Steam has always been an issue

#

If they really wanted to be greedy they could've released it as a PlayStation exclusive and called it a day

If it’s the idea, then don’t play the game. Don’t force your will “to not play” on others. Let people do what they want. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

# severe galleon Some people literally fucking cant???

anyway, that's before you consider the many legitimate reasons to not even want to make, use, or link a PSN account, such as the repeated security breaches, general anti-consumer practices, and there frankly just being no godly reason it should be a requirement in the first place, as demonstrated by the fact that it wasn't actually needed for 3 months.

#

Flat out just a complete L of a take

astral yarrow
#

If this is true Imma kek

Fuck you Sony

#

I don't even mind making a PSN account, but the fact that certain countries cannot play now is sad

I know its on steamdb but I dont know how to call up that part of the site

You can even look on the PSN heat map and see Dominican Republic can create a PSN account

nope list is real

Bro that’s steam doing that then lmfao

#

ah ok that makes sense

astral yarrow
#

imo not really but yeah

dusty thicket
#

still seems odd to have a separate listing like that

astral yarrow
grave lantern
#

like how Germans have a separate version of Hearts of Iron IV and other games that censor Nazi symbols

dusty thicket

Honestly I still have mad respect for the CEO. That's a class act response right there. Shame that money doesn't care about being a good person.

#

It sucks

#

I have no direct grudge against AH, just lamenting their choice of publisher

obsidian arch
#

Yep. I wonder why they went with Sony

astral yarrow
#

idk, but its biting them in the butt now

#

tbh, this would be a nothingburger if the game required a PSN account from the start

dusty thicket
#

I mean it probably make perfect sense at the time. They couldn't have possibly expected HD2 to pop off like it did

obsidian arch
#

Not just biting, the ass is gone, chewed off

astral yarrow
#

not 8 million

#

or whatever was the final sale

astral yarrow
#

8 mil

#

damn

obsidian arch
#

Wonder how many of those are now null

astral yarrow
#

just based on the price, thats 320 mil in sale

#

roundabout

#

just base sales, not including micros

#

merch and stuff as well

#

I doubt it'll cause refunds on such a scale it'll bankrupt them

#

but it sucks ass

#

game been doing way ahead f expectations and now this fat controversy

dusty thicket
#

I have no illusions that HD2 and arrowhead wont survive this. The base product is too good to fail at this point. I just hate that it's really put a damper on the whole community

#

Like one moment we are all having fun then the next we are ripped out of the game and forced to contend with the shit sandwich that is the real world.

dusty thicket
#

I'm just glad that we didn't leave all of our democratic tendencies in the game and that we are able to come together as a community to complete this new major order of screwing over Sony

silent arrow
astral yarrow
#

it amuses me that Sony went and pissed off a community that ironically made propaganda

#

and now thay make actual propaganda

grave lantern
grave lantern
#

If it was a money thing it would make zero sense

#

Now if Sony came out and was like “PC players need to pay the same yearly subscription that PS players do” that would be a money thing

astral yarrow
grave lantern
# astral yarrow How is it a moderation thing?

Right now the tickets for ingame problems are sorted directly through Arrowhead, so devs are having to respond to them directly. When the merge happens the tickets will go through Sony’s customer support team, which is a publisher responsibility

#

I've had my PSN account linked since day 1, they disabled it because of the network troubles

dusty thicket
#

For me personally it's not about the PSN network linking. I think the deeper issue is people being tired of being screwed over by big corpo

astral yarrow
#

Basically yes

#

Esp. For the people that bought it and now cant make one cause they are on the list of not azthorized countries

grave lantern
#

The decision itself makes a lot of sense, the handling did not. Sony should have had those countries delisted from Steam purchases to begin with

astral yarrow
#

Esp. That Sony retroactively changed their FAQ to read "requires to be linked" instead of "optional" for games on PC

grave lantern
#

And I think if they don't allow full refunds/access to the game they're gonna have a lawsuit on their hands

dusty thicket
grave lantern
#

which again, bad handling

#

Sony is also standing to refund millions in purchases, so like, business perspective, money-wise this decision makes 0 sense

dusty thicket
#

Plus the messaging in their original statement was all wrong. Like don't talk vaguely about "Security" and stuff. Like if it's a good move for the betterment of the game then TELL US. We are capable of understanding if you have good reasons to do what you are doing

grave lantern
#

if we wanted to imagine Corporations as an entity trying to make the maximum amount of money possible, this decision makes no sense

#

Sony's perspective is that their system is the best for security, which isn't true. And I mean this stuff has been in the game in the beginning, just look at nProtect

dusty thicket
#

They would rather take millions in losses than change the contract

grave lantern
#

Right but they gotta offer refunds to lose said millions or they're going to court

grave lantern
#

Also could be very wrong, but I think this decision stems from the fact that this is SONY's first PC multiplayer release

#

the reason it was optional before was because all of the games they released were singleplayer ones

#

Like Last of Us and Horizon, Spiderman, etc

#

the only benefit to linking your PSN account would be to reflect ingame achievements

dusty thicket
#

I'm sure there are lots of good reasons that we are in this mess now. Unfortunately the road to Hell is paved in good intentions

grave lantern
#

Yeah like letting people play the game during the network outages aha

#

They could've seriously avoided backlash by just not selling it to countries that don't offer PSN

#

I think like the guy in that video I posted said, it was a series of mistakes that led ultimately to this

dusty thicket
#

I mean clearly there was a miss-communication somewhere down the line. Many people had a hand in all of this and I the blame can't lay solely at any one person or entity's feet

grave lantern
#

I dunno, the people who played since Day 1 all linked their PSN accounts, it was the guys that got in 5, 10 days after that didn't have to. The requirement was always there

#

Even before the game release the devs and CM's were telling people they had to link PSN accounts

#

on the HD2 discord

#

I think at least 60% of this outrage is people on Reddit's who hate companies because it's cool and herd mentality

dusty thicket
grave lantern
#

People review bombed tf out of this game over the DRM drama tho

#

And at that time the devs could actually respond to concerns and whatnot, rather than the weekend just allowing people to stew over the issue

#

not to mention you've got Youtubers jumping on this situation and declaring it as "The End of Helldivers 2!" which didn't happen during the DRM stuff

#

Sony's gonna respond, the non-hardliners are gonna chill out, the game is gonna be fine

astral yarrow
#

The game will survive

#

that's for sure, its too big of an audience and the vast majority dont care

#

which is the sad thing

dusty thicket
astral yarrow
#

this just sets a precedent

grave lantern
#

But the people spreading misinformation, talking about corporate greed and money and nonsense need to chill

astral yarrow
#

People are already scrambling

grave lantern
#

Yeah, this is SONY's first and only multiplayer release

astral yarrow
#

yeah

grave lantern
#

I double checked

astral yarrow
#

and they instantly fumbled it

grave lantern
#

they didn't really though

astral yarrow
#

they did

#

else we wouldn't be where we are now

grave lantern
#

"instantly fumbled it" we're four months into the game's lifespan gamer

bold ibex
astral yarrow
#

ah

#

damn

grave lantern
#

The original HD didn't make nearly enough money for a sequel on this scale

#

also SONY made them chill out with their dumb microtransactions

#

we remember the winter planet missions AH

astral yarrow
#

At least I got another goofy coop shooter with dropping onto planet

dusty thicket
#

I still need to try out that game

grave lantern
#

It's not as fun as HD2 imo

bold ibex
grave lantern
#

actually they're two different games so it's hard to compare

bold ibex
#

That's mostly true tbh, but it's still quite fun

grave lantern
#

I had a blast while I played Deep Rock

#

but the class based stuff and the progression is confusing sometimes

#

and the enemy variety in HD2 is like, leaps and bounds ahead of DRG

astral yarrow
#

it is

#

still felt bored

#

but then again I am the type of person finding Faczorio so addicting I dare not play it for fear of my free time

grave lantern
#

Factorio is pretty repetitive too, but I can't wait for the 2.0 update

#

that's gonna be dope af

bold ibex
#

Have you played Satisfactory? Different than Factorio by a good bit but also great

grave lantern
#

Love that game

#

It was kinda unfinished when I last played tho

opal tiger

well 1.0 is around the corner

grave lantern
opal tiger
#

yeah

#

(I've barely played it but TRAINS)

grave lantern
#

Trains make my autism brr

grave lantern
opal tiger
#

that's a bit longer than I thought, but 🤷

it's a fantastic game and I have 0 reason to doubt it's not gonna be good

grave lantern
#

I had loads of fun when it came out initially, just needed some more stuff to do and some major polish

grave lantern
#

factorio devs really went "our game is good, but what if we fucking quadrupled its scope"

severe galleon
grave lantern
#

But I wouldn't call that a fumble, a fumble would be like the game is completely fucked now

severe galleon
#

I think it's fair to call a massive PR disaster a fumble but that's semantics I suppose

grave lantern
#

It's not even a disaster, they undid their PSN thing to sidestep network issues at game launch. I bought the game day 1 and had to link my PSN account

severe galleon
#

But man when it rains it pours

Gmod and Nintendo
Helldivers and Sony
Tarkov

grave lantern
#

I didn't even know about the Gmod thing that's wild

#

I think this situation is more of the growing aches of SONY's first multiplayer PC release title

#

Steam probably would've preemptively halted the sales if they had known that it was going to be a requirement, cuz all of SONY's PC releases have been singleplayer titles so far

severe galleon
#

Not implying the situations are comparable just lots of backlash in the gaming community lately

grave lantern
#

I think that's the reason so many people are on the bandwagon too, Tarkov is actually having corporate greed problems lol

severe galleon
#

Also, reports that steam is refunding HD2 beyond the 2 hour limit, fyi, for the small number of people here who might be affected

"Which countries can't play Helldivers 2 anymore, Sony?"

Quoting Pirate Software (@PirateSoftware)

Sony has now removed access to Helldivers 2 in every region that cannot make a PSN account. This denies access to every player that bought the game in those regions over the last several months.

I can’t believe Sony blinked first.

#

Vote with your wallet. It always works.

it's a vote with your voice moment

most people who had a problem with this already paid for the game

Enough people refunded to make Sony nervous

#

I'll say it again, fighting a community that breathes propaganda.... not a smart move

severe galleon
#

but also the reptuational damage this did is absolutely woth considering

obsidian arch
#

I agree

severe galleon
#

half of the games lifetime reviews are from the last couple weeks, and of those, over 80% are negative

obsidian arch
#

Time to change them back I suppose

astral yarrow
#

Now to drive propaganda to turn the negatives into positives

severe galleon

thing is this is gunna leave a scar no matter what
but definately do our best

so yeah lets get to reversing that

dawg

bold ibex
# sick inlet i don't even know how i got home

Propofol in that cocktail likely. Crazy amnesia drug in lots of general anesthesia, I've been under with it in the mix a couple times. You seem awake and alert and responsive, but you just don't form memories

bold ibex
#

Crazy thing is when they use it on people without full sedation. Though I just looked it up more and it might not be the Propofol that gives the conscious amnesia, but the benzos like Versed that they mix it with. Anaesthesia is apparently safer and more effective with smaller doses of a variety of drugs than a larger dose of any one drug that can cause heart issues.

obsidian arch
#

Red heads reacting oddly to general is, in fact, true

bold ibex
#

Yep, they metabolize some things faster. Has lead to some horror stories in the past when anaesthesiologists don't account for it and someone wakes up but is locked in during surgery. So they feel it and remember it but can't move or talk.

But for the typical GA experience: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amnesia

In neurology, anterograde amnesia is the inability to create new memories after an event that caused amnesia, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long-term memories from before the event remain intact. This is in contrast to retrograde amnesia, where memories created prior to the event are lost while new m...

Against the bugs I always try to bring a turret. Bots it’s debatable.

When going against bugs you simply can't ask for a better loadout than:
Eagle Napalm
Railgun Strike/Orbital Precision Strike
Flamethrower
Shield Generator Pack

Throw in the Incendiary Breaker and impact flame grenades and you are all set

railcannon has like a bajillion year cooldown and it dosn't even 1 shot chargers sometimes

the recent cooldown buff for the OPS is also dope

dusty thicket

I agree the cool down sucks on the RS but the auto targeting makes it perfect for group play when the titan is chasing after your buddy and you cant set up the OPS

exotic pawn

I'm still partial to stun grenade + EAT

once you know how to stick chargers with the strat ball it consistently one shots them, and if you miss you still have 2 rockets to use

They nerfed the damage of so many things

#

And bugs are now just as difficult as bots almost imo

#

mainly because of the new bugs

#

(Specifically spore charger)

mint spade
#

helldivers devs try not to make the game more oppressive with every update (impossible)

regal cedar
#

I tried to do a solo dive against bugs on diff 9 and got fucking stomped by everything

#

They increased charger spawns

#

They increased bile titan spawns

mint spade
#

huge L

#

x2

regal cedar
#

Brood commanders or whatever they’re called now are everywhere

mint spade
#

literally no one asked for them to buff bugs lmao

regal cedar
#

Shriekers spawn in a constant stream from their nests now

#

oh and did I mention; bile titan acid now does 2x the damage?

mint spade
#

that's valid, it was pretty ez to dodge last time I played

regal cedar
#

and chargers hitting you with their charge now does 75% of your health

regal cedar
#

I had to deal with 7 of them

#

(All at once at extract)

#

I got no samples

#

I didn’t even complete one objective

#

I had died 8 times

#

(I brought reinforcement booster)

mint spade
#

god forbid a solo player tries to enjoy the game

regal cedar
#

shits no longer fun

#

Oh btw the fucking impaler has like 10 times the health of a bile titan

#

(It took me 6 railcannon strikes to kill it)

#

Oh did I mention they shadow nerfed the spear’s range?

mint spade
#

yet another massive helldiver devs L

can't wait to not play the game

regal cedar
mint spade
#

"guys lets massively nerf all the fun (good) weapons, buff up the enemies, and put the new good weapons in the new battle pass"

regal cedar
#

And they lowered the turn rate of the missile and it’s acceleration along with top speed

regal cedar
#

Like the flamethrower might as well be a watergun now

mint spade

another massive L

#

Incendiary weapons now suck

mint spade

imo all the weapons should be op as fuck because 1. it's a pve game and 2. it's more fun

regal cedar

^

#

the blitzer should actually ARC between enemies

#

Instead of doing one big blast at one guy

#

It should arc towards multiple you know

last time I played I would call in whatever the shock equipment is and spam it

#

usually would teamkill once or twice but it was fun(ny)

oh that'd be based

regal cedar
#

because the supply backpack currently fucking sucks

#

It doesn’t give you a full resupply like a normal box EVEN THOUGH IT TAKES AN ENTIRE RESUPPLY CACHE TO FILL IT

#

it literally gives you 3/4ths of what it’s supposed to

#

Oh yeah and they increased eagle resupply time

mint spade
#

is there a single thing that was buffed other than the shield pack lmao

regal cedar
#

along with fucking buffing the 120 barrage

mint spade
dusty thicket
#

I feel like it should work on a points system where it has a bar that depletes when you resupply teammates. Like if someone is missing all of their ammo it will take like 25% of the bar but if someone is just missing a few mags it only takes a sliver

mint spade
#

love that thing

regal cedar
mint spade
#

it looks so cool tho

They kind of like

#

Ruined the 120 barrage

#

In three different updates

mint spade
#

what'd they do

regal cedar
#

And tried to fix it now

regal cedar
# mint spade what'd they do

1st; decreased scatter, 2nd; decreased damage, 3rd increased scatter and decreased damage and now increased damage

#

it’s now about as inaccurate as a fucking eagle rocket strike

#

(Rocket strikes always miss is the joke)

#

oh yeah they fucking butchered reload times

dusty thicket
#

Helldivers 2 devs try not to nerf the fun out of their game challenge(Impossible)

regal cedar
#

Some support weapons now take two times the time to reload

mint spade
#

what a dumb dev team, they had such a good start and now their whole development plan is nerf or nothin

regal cedar
#

Yeah

mint spade
#

god forbid players have fun in our pve game

regal cedar
#

Oh and they “fixed” patrol spawns

noble pollen
#

it’s just disappointing

mint spade
#

siege nerf or nothin development is kinda understandable bc it's a pvp game, but this is a game about killing space terminators and space bugs, who cares about op weapons, buff other things to make them also op

regal cedar
#

(They made it so every patrol on diff 6 or higher either has a bile titan, four chargers, or 8 of those stupid brood commander replacements that have 5x the health of a brood commander)

#

or it has ALL OF THEM

mint spade
#

waiter, waiter! more stalkers please!

regal cedar
#

(Kind of)

#

They now do slightly less damage

wild inlet
regal cedar
#

they five shot you instead of 4 shot

mint spade
#

worst enemy in the game when I played

wild inlet
#

They really not that bad

regal cedar
mint spade
#

can't wait!

regal cedar
#

Like you can at least deal with a stalker at range because it doesn’t have the dodge mechanic OF HUNTERS AND SHRIEKERS

#

YES

mint spade
#

what a shame, was super fun when it came out

regal cedar
#

THEY GAVE SHRIEKERS THE FUCKING DODGE CODE

#

meaning those bastards will literally neo their way around anything you fire at them

#

Oh and did I mention they increased the accuracy of shrieker attacks?

#

Along with their damage?

mint spade
#

no

#

you did not mention that

regal cedar
#

instead of 4 shotting they 3 shot you now

mint spade
regal cedar
#

Instead of every 1 in 4 strafes being a hit randomized

#

Every 3 strafes will now be a hit

#

Like every

mint spade
#

surely the bots are manageable

regal cedar
#

Every third strafe they now do

#

Is a guaranteed hit on you

regal cedar
#

You know the new barrage of rockets?

mint spade
#

nope

regal cedar
#

they kind of like

#

home in on you

#

and they’re not uncommon either

#

Oh and rocket devestators are now even more common

#

Same with heavy devestators

#

And hulks are now two times more annoying as they increased the legs from medium armour to high armour

noble pollen
#

good thing i lost interest awhile back lol

regal cedar
#

And factory striders now have increased explosive resistance

#

Did I mention how much I fucking hate shriekers?

noble pollen
#

yes

mint spade
regal cedar
#

did you know; when the shrieker nests were first released you could lock them with your spear and blow them up

#

They removed this feature a few days after saying it was a bug

#

Then added it back because it was the only reliable way if killing their nests quickly

#

Because autocannons got nerfed

#

Recoilless rifles got nerfed

#

Everything

#

Got

#

Nerfed

#

Except the quasar, only a slightly longer cooldown

#

🗿

#

(They increased quasar cooldown by two more seconds)

#

Oh btw; super helldive is easier than normal helldive.

#

Because there’s just more big things instead of small things.

#

And it gives one extra super sample and 40 rares every time

#

It’s the exact same gameplay loop as helldive

#

Just now with more samples

#

and less time to complete missions

#

Helldivers 2 is no longer fun

#

The impaler was so hyped up as well

#

Only to turn out to be hot garbage

#

You can literally make its tendrils or whatever retreat by using a grenade or autocannon

#

A single shot per thing and it fucks off

#

(And no you cant kill it by doing this)

#

(I have tried)

mint spade
rose timber
#

If they had just left it as is at launch without the need for inserting micro transactions which meant constant weapon balancing as they came out it wouldn't be such a mess... st least I wish it wouldn't be

#

Anyhow, new stratagem idea, a guard dog that has has one of the concussive weapons, focuses more on crowd control and fires on enemies that aren't, uh, concussed(?) yet.

regal cedar
#

(The rover uses the LAS5 scythe iirc, which got a huge buff a while ago)

rose timber
#

I was more thinking of just another utility as the rover would still currently be the best option for sure. One with concussive would be less focused on output and more on staggering enemies to give you a bit of breathing room

regal cedar

Helldivers 2 servers are full on shitting themselves

the game just has a shitty dev team

“Yall use this too much, so we made it worse.”

Def not changing my review off negative for a while
