A Helldivers 2 player has taken to Reddit to share some time management tips with players to ensure objectives are complete before it run out
Arrowhead Game Studios writes: "Attention Helldivers, Due to technical issues at the launch of HELLDIVERS 2, we allowed the linking requirements for Steam accounts to a PlayStation Network account to be temporarily optional. That grace period will now expire. See details below in this post. Account linking plays a critical role in protecting our players and upholding the values of safety and security provided on PlayStation and PlayStation Studios games."
"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? 😧
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...
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.
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.
Values and safety??? When was the last time PSN got hacked???
We all know that this is to inflate PSN user numbers.
It's actually just so they can collect data. They are very happy with PSN numbers.
Oh no, that thing all online game make you do… clearly the game will be unanimously boycotted.
Auspicious day all Helldivers out there. Small patch rolling out before the weekend!
Overview For this patch, we have addressed some crashes as well as performance improvements following the decline from the last patch.
New data has reported that Helldivers 2 is the best selling game of 2024 so far, beating out titles including Dragon's Dogma 2.
At the comments...i will fellow soldiers, i will. Just let me finish my backlog of games.
This is why many will start going GaaS. You see things like FF7 Rebirth selling below expectations but a GaaS game sells insane amounts. Incoming industry spam now.
A good game is a good game. GaaS will only become a problem if mediocrity dominates. Which is highly likely, 😂
True and I’m not trying to take away that HD2 might be a good game, it’s more that I loathe this direction for gaming. GaaS good or not, it’s still GaaS and this industry is hurting for ROI, which is why GaaS exists in the first place. Could HD2 been the game it is without being the GaaS model? Why choose GaaS over a traditional game model?
That’s my point from my comment.
Whats incredibly ironic is that absolute storm of anti Sony GaaS articles earlier in the year... and then their first GaaS release is the biggest selling game of the year. None of the complaints even allowed for the possibility of a game selling simply because its good (you know, the most important thing).
And imagine Sony's confusion when they read all the hate about their plans, only to get straight up run over by a horde of people throwing money in their face.
The gaming media in particular have been engaging in a social engineering experiment where they decide what games are gonna fail and which are gonna succeed. The façade is falling apart at the seems though as it becomes incredibly apparent that they don't represent the people they are trying to influence.
and that's why studios including son's camp are investing in games as a service.
Just hit this site for a quick post work scroll. At this time on this load using my phone, there are 6 HDII articles and not one of them is worth a click.
It’s a great game, but this is getting stupid, and it makes the site less interesting bc of it.
