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.

mastershredder7h ago

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

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

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? 😧

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

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.

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

darthv7213h 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.

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.

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.

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.
