Helldivers 2 and Stellar Blade have been at the top of the news cycle lately. And no, it's not for good things this time around.
Arrowhead Game Studios chief Johan Pilestedt revealed that Sony PlayStation doubled the development budget of Helldivers 2.
Which is pretty good that they supported them in making it a high quality game with more funding. Basically shutting up the complainers about Sony making a GaaS game. The GaaS game turned out well and doesn't bombard gamers with micro transactions and doesn't signal the death knell of single player gaming.
Same with Sony's online. Microsoft offered nothing for a decade when XBL started on the OG Xbox going past 360. Sony launched theirs and gave away games to play for subscribing to their service. More bang for your buck than what you paid in. A better way of doing it compared to what was before.
Now we see gamers complaining about AI. But maybe Sony will use AI correctly and do it right that benefits their company and their employees. We have to see the results before bitching and complaining.
The new Arrowhead CEO reached out to the Helldivers 2 Reddit page to share his thoughts and tell the community to be peaceful when making suggestions to the developer.
No one deserves to deal with hate for doing their job... so fuck those people for being hateful. At the same time I think AH, or any developer tbh, owes it to thier playerbase that has done nothing wrong but played and supporyed the game given to them to implement any good idea they get no matter how it was delivered.
They need to just give temporary bans to people who can’t be adults and RAGE type on their keyboard after a bad operation. These Devs gave us a great game, and the children that complain about little things constantly are making their job difficult. If you dont like how they run the game, then leave. Let them follow their visions and give them feedback and constructive criticism without the vitriol and the hate. Bunch of fkn muppets.
Famitsu: "About a month has passed since the release of Stellar Blade It is said that an update including a new mode will be implemented on May 24, 2024, so we interviewed Director Kim Hyung-tae and Technical Director Lee Dong-gi again. We asked him about the future prospects for this work."
Mistakes are ok as long as they learn from them. Sure they shouldn’t have happened like this but no company is perfect.
Stellar Blade complaints is just a bunch of incels following whoever tells them to be outraged, I have never been so embarrassed to be a gamer than when the Stellar Blade bs broke. Pathetic divorced Dads and incels losing their minds over a small bit of pixilated cloth over the cleavage of a couple of outfits in a sea of of outfits that show you everything.
I just hate the fact I buy and pay for a game rated M and Sony takes it upon themselves to censor a game for me. So Eve wears a little revealing suit don't care. If I wanted to buy the censored version I would buy it for the NES or SNES. Modern women wear more scantly clad outfits then that in a mall, gym, school, the store and other places. As for Helldivers requiring an account should only be tied to Playstation. Ways to kill the hype of a game is to piss the customer off.
Sony has nothing to do with Stellar Blade's patch incel.
I get it, you need to detract from all the terrible news going on about Microsoft.
The Helldivers 2 issue is over, fans have already dropped 200k positive reviews on the game as an acceptance that the mistake was rectified. There is no fumbling as the game hasn't failed yet.
Stellar Blade...that's yesterday's news. Try to keep up.
