PS5 exclusive Helldivers 2 feels like it was made for me

Boasting balls-to-the-walls co-op action and immersive third-person shooting, Helldivers 2 is shaping up to be a great PS5 exclusive.

Sounds good! Love me some co-op games.

Juancho51117d ago

not sure why youre getting downvotes, I’m excited too, I guess that means I’m wrong? lol. Been waiting for a decent co op game for a while. This looks like it’ll scratch that itch.

Armaggedon117d ago

Hes getting downvoted because the bots thought he was talking about Starfield.lol

Neonridr118d ago

interesting calling it an exclusive when it releases on another platform.

Elda118d ago

The game is a PS5 gaming console exclusive. Helldivers 2 is not releasing on an XB or a Nintendo gaming console.

Neonridr118d ago

yeah but I can play it on my PC. I don't get the term console exclusive. It's either exclusive or it's not in my books. That being said, I own a PS5, Switch and PC, so nothing is exclusive to me.

itsmebryan118d ago

Well for a long time when Xbox did it people said that wasn't an exclusive. But, I forgot when Sony does it's good and when Xbox does it than it's bad.
Got it👍

“I don't get the term console exclusive”

It’s a known marketing term. I have some last gen games (eg Yakuza) that have ‘console exclusive’ stamped on the front of the case.

Ironmike118d ago

No it's not on pc as well so not exclusive

FungLip118d ago (Edited 118d ago )

The article says “PS5 exclusive”, which implies it’s not releasing on PC. If you want to say “console exclusive”, you have to include the word “console.”

Calling a game “Xbox exclusive” while it’s releasing on PC is also confusing and unnecessary. I called it out then and I’m calling this out as well.

Elda117d ago

@Funglip No one has to get technical about exclusivity. Knowing it's not at all releasing on the XB or Nintendo gaming console makes Helldivers 2 a PS5 gaming console exclusive. PC is not a gaming console.

FungLip117d ago (Edited 117d ago )

@Elda I don’t understand what you mean by no one needs to be technical about it, this needs to be specific to be understood correctly.

Calling Helldivers 2 a “PS5 exclusive” is flat out wrong, shown by the fact that you have to actually explain it. Just say it’s a “PS5 console exclusive,” in which the article didn’t do, and I know exactly where it is coming out on.

PC is not a console, but it is a gaming platform.

ModsDoBetter113d ago

Doing mad stretching of the term "exclusive" and what it means in a gaming sense eh, Elda?

Can't wait to see you comment on an Xbox article about how a game isn't Xbox exclusive because it's launching on PC.

Its 2024 and still talking that crap GTFO

Eonjay118d ago (Edited 118d ago )

I was gonna say the same thing... it's not exclusive. Don't get me wrong the game looks like a blast and I'm sure it will be successful but we can at least be consistent with our vocabulary.

Obscure_Observer118d ago

"I was gonna say the same thing... it's not exclusive."

It´s a PS5 *console* game exclusive, owned and published by Sony! Not available on Switch or Xbox Series consoles!

So as long console gaming is concerned, it´s a PS5 exclusive game.

Eonjay118d ago

@Obscure_Observer. Are you saying this because all the Xbox game are on PC? I joke but you have to admit now is a great time to be a PC gamer. Look, even Concord, Sony's next big multiplayer game is coming to PC too and that is a first party game.

Amplitude117d ago (Edited 117d ago )

If Microsoft's leaked XBox handheld comes out and it turns out it's running Windows, is this still a console exclusive?

The term "console exclusive" is even more silly and irrelevant this generation. There are no exclusives on one that the other literally cant run like how its been previously so *who the hell cares?*
PS5 and Series X are practically identical in both hardware and software, and there are literally no games exclusive to the XBox consoles. If you have a gaming PC, you don't have an XBox. If you have an XBox, you dont have a gaming PC.

Now, the only reason a game is exclusive to a platform or not is 100% due to boring legal nonsense. In this case, it's cause Sony owns the Helldivers IP. Snore. This is a game that's released on both Sony and Microsoft platforms, but for licensing reasons isn't releasing on Microsoft's little custom box that plays PC games but only from the storefront where they take 30%. It really isn't a PS exclusive, and the term console exclusive in 2024 is absolutely meaningless and an annoying thing that I wish gamers in general didn't have to deal with.

ModsDoBetter113d ago

The dowmvotes by butthurt Sony fanboys are hilarious. They can dish it out but can't take it.

TwoPicklesGood118d ago

It’s called a console exclusive since its only releasing on one console. The fact that it also releases on PC is irrelevant.

Ironmike117d ago

Except when xbox dose it lol

ModsDoBetter113d ago

Too tre @IronMike

These crazy fanboys will stretch a term to death to fit their narrative.

Juancho51117d ago

Console exclusive means it’s exclusive to this console. I play Xbox games on my PC but i understand some of them are on Xbox and I can grasp what console exclusive means ……just use your brain before commenting next time, really simple reading comprehension.

Well, it's a console exclusive. But yeah, it's looks like it's going to be a blast.

LG_Fox_Brazil118d ago

Day one for me, I loved the first game
