Tired of these MS fluff pieces. Sot does not come close to what hd2 does.

danno_omen13d ago

You should probably read the article then, I wasn’t comparing the actual games

Cacabunga13d ago

How can it be PS sea of thieves when SOT is on PS5? Were you just in a hurry to write something??

Make a less click baiting headline next time, and people might read bwfore judging.

z2g13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

people don't understand nuance or abstract thought. they just hear two games and decide they like one better than the other so the one they don't like can't be anything close to the one they like. I get that you are speaking in a larger context, not a direct comparison. it could be a huge community building game that has a long burn that could also extend to other platforms and or be cross platform. it could be like sea of thieves in that regard etc. never mind the knuckle draggers on this site. its impossible to have a reasonable, objective conversation here.

I know the headline is a bit bonkers but it is otherwise a good read apart from that.

Lol you didn't read it. It's just suggesting that it would be beneficial for gamers if HD2 came to xbox. Like sea of thieves did. Don't get in your feels over it.

Magatsuhi13d ago

Its a click bait article. It benefits only xbox to bring a successful game to their failure of a console.

InUrFoxHole13d ago

Lol you big 😠 😡. Just wait till the showcase!

GamerRN13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Yeah, this site just constantly has so many positive Xbox sm articles, I'm tired of them also... 🙄

z2g13d ago

what a surprise, more basic thinking from basic gamers. the comparison it could be a huge community building game that has a long burn that could also extend to other platforms and or be cross platform. it could be like sea of thieves in that regard etc.... sorry thoughts get more abstract than what your brain can seem to handle

Well Helldivers 2 might be releasing on Xbox in the near future

How Helldivers 2 Proved That Multiplayer PvE Games Can Be Just as Competitive

Tough gameplay can usually only be found in PvP. See how Helldivers 2 proved that PvE games can be just as competitive.

mastershredder8h ago

PVE games have been around for a while. They have been proving this long before Helldivers was even a thought.

anast6h ago

this article is way behind. The initial popularity showed that trends might be shifting.

TheProfessional4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Does anyone else feel like Helldivers 2 is a little overhyped? Its just a wave mode which is usually an extra mode with other games, not the entire game. Its well done but not enough variety or customization.

"protecting our players and upholding the values of safety and security provided on PlayStation and PlayStation Studios games."

So everyone was playing without values and safety? The ... cornerstones of Democracy? 😧

darthv727h ago

Arrowhead are looking into ways around the account linking issue that many regions are suffering from.

Oh yes, coming from the only console maker that ended up with an entire breach of data and brought their services down

badz1494h ago

LOL MS and Nintendo had their fair share of data breaches. and let's get 1 thing straight, the PSN was not brought down by the hackers, Sony brought it offline to prevent further breaches.

MontyeKristo3h ago

badz149 - it's interesting you think that's any different.

darthv7214h ago

It seems pretty harmless... i mean who doesnt have a PSN account now given how popular the PS4 was, and how many play on both PC & console? I get that there are some PC users who may only play on PC but there are other PC games that require certain accounts in order to play. EA Origin, Ubisoft, MS Bethesda...

Christopher13h ago

There are regions where people have to create PSN accounts in different regions and with different addresses to do this, which is technically against PSN TOS. It's just weird.

I do agree that it has become pretty common, including EA, Ubisoft, and more having similar requirements. But it is still annoying.

darthv7213h ago

Annoying... yeah I understand that. These are the hoops we jump through in order to be entertained.

redknight8013h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Not harmless to the players in many countries all over the planet but sure...so long as gamers like you are happy then all good, I guess.

darthv7212h ago(Edited 12h ago)

I addressed that below.

SimpleDad13h ago

Values and safety??? When was the last time PSN got hacked???
We all know that this is to inflate PSN user numbers.

Christopher13h ago

It's actually just so they can collect data. They are very happy with PSN numbers.

Crows9010h ago

Nah...Sony doesn't have a reason to inflate numbers. You must be thinking of Xbox.

Oh no, that thing all online game make you do… clearly the game will be unanimously boycotted.

Yi-Long1h ago

I remember a time, a long long time ago, when you weren't forced to sign up for all kinds of special accounts in order to just play your games online.
