The Helldivers 2 PSN controversy has been addressed in more detail by Arrowhead's Community Manager, stating that "discussions are ongoing."
Helldivers 2 can take a long time to figure out every mechanic in the game, so Reddit users have shared their most helpful tips.
The main tip that I would tell a new player is: know how and when to pick your fights. Sometimes it's better to avoid a skirmish altogether and focus on the missions. And if you are indeed starting a fight, try to end is as soon as possible and focus on the smallers enemies first, because if you get rid of all those bastards then they won't call for backup and you'll have time to finish the bigger threats
Helldivers 2 is now on the Game Boy Color, sort of.
Several countries that were restricted during the PSN controversy have had its restrictions lifted and players can purchase Helldivers 2.
The countries added back are US territories, which shouldn't have been restricted in the first place. So far, this doesn't seem like a change to Sony's stance on countries that don't support PSN.
I don't think they should apologize. It is evident that this is a response to the abuse that many users are sending their way.
Spritz : “Yeah, I was completely unaware how many countries didn’t have the ability to make a PSN account when I made that statement. I deeply regret implying that it was so easy for everyone to just sign up and not have to worry about it. It’s absolutely not our intention to force people to break Sony Terms of Services or just not play the game if they’re in a restricted region. There needs to be a better solution.”
Its not the fact that you need to create a new account to play the game ... its that fact that it was added later.
If it requires, it should've been there day 1, so that the players were aware day 1 what they are getting into. Not every PC gamer appreciates juggling multiple accounts/logins to play one damn game. So players who are not into this could've stayed away rather than sinking hundreds of hours into this good game.
^ ~ this is the part every other gamers are missing while dissing the PC helldivers community.
My opinion likely won't be a popular one with all the Sony fanboys, but it's the truth.
Firstly, 50% of the fault is with Arrowhead here and they must own that. This is the price you pay when you sign a deal with Sony as your partner. I've said it before and I'll say it again - signing a deal with Sony is like signing a deal with the devil. I'm sure the funding and exposure is excellent, but it's the contractual stuff that creates strife for the devs. Just look at From - Sony has effectively screwed over the Bloodborne fans by completely ignoring calls for an HD remaster or PC port or sequel. Same situation concerning a Days Gone sequel... they screwed Bend Studio over and the fact that we likely will never see a sequel is a complete travesty. This situation and the other aforementioned are all prime reasons for why devs should never enter into a contract with Sony as publishing partner. They've proven many times to be a horrible business partner and gamers and fans continue to pay the price. They just can't help themselves by ruining good things.
Love these “internal discussions,” why not just say they’re talking to Sony about not doing what fans are telling them they don’t want? Same with Shift Up, let’s be real these are Sony decisions at the end of the day.
I hope Sony doesn't give in to the phony rage mob, especially the cheating game stealing community of pc gamers. Most of these rageaholics don't even know what exactly they're angry about. Arrowhead needs to be upfront with this frustrated mob and tell them that's the policy going forward and not to expect a change to it. It was stellar blade just a few days ago now it's latched onto hd2 let the toxic mob move on to the next game to rage on about.
