Screen Rant writes, "Helldivers 2 controversially locks some equipment with real in-game benefits behind a premium currency - but does that make the game pay-to-win?"

A premium currency you earn in game, so like I guess? But spend a little time and you'll unlock it all the same 🤷‍♂️

Bronbron92102d ago

It’s not pay to win, the premium currency is just for cosmetics for armors yes they have different ratings and buffs but that only helps you so much in this game

thornintheside101d ago (Edited 101d ago )

Not sure I agree with you, since 1000 super credits are needed to unlock the premium warbond. Luckily the best weapon(breaker shotgun standard) is in the standard warbond group, but there are still good items in the premium warbond

Bronbron92101d ago

Yeh but you can earn the credits through the game sure it’s a grind but if you don’t want to spend money for them, what exactly are you buying that guarantees success through out the game?

thornintheside100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

I know, but I have a view that a game that allows you to skip the grind, by paying real money, is P2W. Wether the unlocks are good or not, doesn't matter for that view.

The amount of suuper credits u find is not great I had upgrade my warbond to get better weapons

EvertonFC102d ago

Or just play the game, I never get this buy cosmetic shit. I couldn't care less about desert strom camouflage or playing as snoop dog etc.

TwoPicklesGood102d ago

The weapons and armor you get from the premium battle pass are a little bit better than the standard versions but not enough to be considered pay to win, at least, not right now. We will have to wait and see what future premium battle passes do because things could change very easily.

Ironmike101d ago

It's the rate of the supercredits mt they don't give u much

Aren't you the guy that said Steam's database information is lying about the game being pulled from 170 stores

thorstein16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

No. I am the guy that said an anonymous user made a readout that named 170 territories AND countries total (which is what it said) is where the game was pulled. Not 170 stores. Not 170 countries.

Since, PSN is in 73 countries, and there are 195 countries on Earth, YOUR math still doesn't work.

And Ghost of Tsushima is available in all of them because GoG and Epic Games Store.

Imagine if this were a Microsoft game.

Would thornstein be deflecting and defending this much? I doubt it.

Extermin8or3_20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

I'm this is abit different to the headline. If says that it's just people in Russia and Ukraine experiencing this. Given restrictions mean their can't legally operate in Russia and bns belarus

H920h ago

This is about Russia and Belarus and the war on Ukraine, however I don't know why the ban is happening now? The people in these countries have been using VPN for ages now

anast20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

People will outsource their thinking to AI, they will give all their information and location to TIKTOK and other social media platforms. They allow Valve to own their entire game collection that they bought. But a PSN account is where they draw the line... (this is for the westerners)

For the non westerners, Sony should let them play games. There's a war and times are tough. People need an outlet.

gold_drake14h ago

if times are tough then the last thing they're gon a buy is a ps5 and games ha

just_looken7h ago

Many out there can not buy the console or its worth more than 2 months rent.

When ever i see america cry about $400 console or $70 games i roll my eyes like a post out there talking about 18 eggs for $7.

Were i am at its $100 games $600+ for console and $10 for 12 eggs

But america is the world now people go oh anywhere out there our prices are the same because i am american.

just_looken7h ago

You do remember they sold this game to 180 countries for months took there money then pulled the game but now if you have the game you can play online but risk a account ban like what happened to these reported users.

Also i know this is shocking news to millions out there sucking trump tit but america is not the only country out there yes 80% of streaming apps are region locked to usa and yes usa can invaded any country with 0 legal action taken against them but the whole tick tok/ai talking that is mainly usa.

Many many people only buy stuff on steam with fake id's to those bs launchers something you can not do with psn and you should not need a psn account for single player games even hell diver's is just a coop/sp game.
