Upgrade madness brought on by video game lust-it's something most gamers know well. It gets very nasty with computers, since component makers push out updated and revised products on a regular basis, knowing that if nothing in the current crop of games takes full advantage of it already, a game that does will be along shortly.
The thing is, if all gamers were willing to accept a lower resolution, lower image quality, or both, for that game that came out yesterday, many dollars would probably be saved-or at least spent on other things, such as gas, or maybe bacon.
But that's just not good enough for some. Hardcore gamers demand more.
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.
Fortnite fans are begging for the return of OG mode while using the player count as proof that fans are not happy with the game's direction.
It's been revealed that Helldivers 2 is Sony's fastest-selling game ever, beating the record previously set by god of War: Ragnarok.
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.
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.
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...
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.
