It's number 1 on Steam right now. Sony killed it.

Eonjay96d ago

It's so funny how the articles went from Sony has no games this year and 'Live Games killed my cat'... to them starting the year off with a chart topping megahit that is beating COD on PC and PlayStation. It's actually quite the turn of events.

They have to create fake problems to generate instability. Instability is entertainment "journalism." It's kind of how the machine works.

repsahj95d ago

I can't help it either. Honestly, this is more enjoyable than world and rise. I'm part of it now. For freedom!! XD

More hilariously, where are the clowns claiming that Sony is doomed and missing out on the most popular game on the planet with Palworld while xbox gamers are having it free on GP?

I'm glad that most comments and praises for Helldivers 2 are centering around the credits the game deserves not how the puny xbox community is missing out on "the most popular game on the planet right now" BS.

Definitely better than Call of Duty even though it's a different kind of game

Phoenix02996d ago

Is this game ok to play with randoms or is it hard work without a regular group?

AdonisIsBeast96d ago

Super easy you just put out an SOS beacon once you begin the mission

Bathyj95d ago

I play with randoms all the time. I have no regular friends because this is the first game I've played online I enjoyed.

It's great, but I'm sure a regular squad with mics would be even better.

repsahj95d ago

The game is fantastic!! I think they fixed the servers because my party is all Steam players and no bugs, crashes, or disconnected players happened.

Pilestedt writes: "Hey everyone,

Big update, I've decided to hire @ShamsJorjani as the new CEO of @ArrowheadGS ! We go way back and I wouldn't trust the business in any other hands than his. (...and he comes with an impressive resume and love for games)

But what about me and my involvement in @Helldivers2 ? Well, I'm glad you asked! I am taking the role of Chief Creative Officer, which means I will spend MORE time with the team and 100% of my focus on the games and community!"

When they last use bring it for free last weekend I felt really really overpowered. It's better than an Orbital Railgun if you are good at throwing. It can one-shot an entire smaller bug hole. I was getting 600+ kills easily on the harder difficulties.

Grilla16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Eagle airstrike will do the same with a wider radius and 3 uses vs 2 on the 500lg. The 500kg makes up for the smaller radius with height which is good for the Bile Titans.

Deathdeliverer1d 2h ago

Needs a bigger AOE. It really feels like it does not have an AOE that is anywhere near how it looks.

repsahj18h ago

I agree. Same AOE as hellbomb and it will be great.

Grilla16h ago

That would be way overpowered but I agree the aoe is pretty small.

northpaws1d ago

Precision Strike is better. Much faster cooldown, and hit quite hard if you use it right.
