It's a sure sign of scraping the bottom of the barrel when you are "creating" "news" out of Reddit posts.

Yep, and yet Christopher continues to do it. I refuse to click into the site, and I advise everyone else to do the same.

brando00817d ago

Agreed. This author has consistently pulled Reddit posts on a popular game in order to put out content with minimal effort. I wish n4g would block these hollow posts.

@brando008 Well, problem with that is that he's N4G's owner...

Helldivers 2 Community United in Welcoming a Returning Player

Should you return to the game? A returning player united the Helldivers 2 community. AH CEO supports the fans' mission for a better patch.

Saw this coming since the first nerf to the meta. Anyone that had any sense and wasn't a fan boy knew this was gona happen. Knee jerk reaction nerfs to the meta made the game boring.

250 hours in and I can't get enough

It's not a first-party game though. Is it really too much to expect these low-rate websites to have the bare minimum of knowledge about the topic that they write about?

This reminds me of the hoops that some diehard Nintendo fans would go through to claim a game (like Bayonetta 2) is first-party just to say Nintendo is pumping out games.

Sony owns the IP so maybe that will clear things up for you.

SonyStyled2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

It’s a second party title, like Ratchet and Clank prior to the purchase of Insomniac, or like Sly Cooper before the purchase of Sucker Punch, or like Dead Nation before the purchase of Housemarque, etc.

Sony published it, they dont own it... not yet anyway.

Giga_Gaia2h ago

@darthv72 Sony owns the Helldivers IP, but they don't own the developer.

CrashMania1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

@darth. Sony absolutey owns the IP.

Just wondering if you don't consider Pokemon, Smash ultimate or Metroid Dread first party because Nintendo doesn't own the studios that made those games...

Gameseeker_Frampt8m ago(Edited 3m ago)

I don't consider them first-party. Just like Kirby isn't first-party and neither is Luigi's Mansion 3.

Ownership of the IP has nothing to do with whether a game is first-party. First-party games are ones that are made by studios owned by a platform maker. I find fans only will try to claim a game as first-party if the game is good. If it is bad, they quickly rush to point out that their preferred company didn't really make it. Star Fox Zero,Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, and The Order:1886 are good examples of this.

That's insane! Congratulations Arrowhead! Be good if Sony did buy them, they could work closely with Housmareque and they could both help each other with projects, that'd be good to see

Between the original Helldivers (Arrow Head) and Alienation (Housemarque), I prefer the later so much more. Would love to see Alienation going through similar transformation as HD2 for its sequel.

lol and everybody complained about multiplayer games as a service. "no thanks! single player story games for me, thanks!".

well... proof is in the pudding. most people love a good proper competition, and if it comes in the form of a great, addicting game then that's even better. this is that game. this is the exact reason publishers are pushing for GaaS. I personally am fine with it. There's space for all types of games, and I love a good multiplayer romp. some of my best gaming memories are from MP, and HDII is no exception.
