Helldivers 2 - Hell is more diverse than ever as PlayStation's demographics continue to grow and change.

[Not Based or Redpilled]

I loved this game at launch, but as time has passed it's gone to shit. Performance, until the most recent patch, has gotten worse and worse. They have been obsessed with pushing out new content instead of fixing and fine-tuning their base game. Here is a few problems that I have encountered before they added, for example, a fucking revolver spin animation:

• Stepping on fallen Devastators and flying into space
• Bile acid (from Titans or Spewers) barely touching but whipping out health
  • The acid no longer instantly kills, but will still cripple your health
• Burn damage being useless if you're not the host
• The Hulk's flamethrower insta-killing
• Numerous physics issues such as:
  • Walking into a wall and flying off
  • Diving through the ground
  • Dead enemies flying away
  • Striders having huge invisible walls that sometimes insta-kill you if you look at them
• Pelican-1 will sometimes land but be broken, as in unboardable or won't extract
• Misaligned sights
• Throwing stratagems immediately tells all enemies where your exact position is
• Stims playing the animation and sound, but malfunctioning

This isn't an exhaustive list, and every person who plays the game encounters numerous bugs, many of which have existed since the game launched. The excuse of being a small studio is made redundant when priority has been given to adding things like:

• Saluting when reading up
• Revolver spinning
• Keeping blood on you after missions
• New enemies
• New objectives
• New warbonds
• New weapons

Again this isn't an exhaustive list. Arrowhead seems to prefer to add bloat to their game rather than just fix it. This poor small studio must be struggling so hard since they take weekends off and have the ability to hire a community manager (who's job is posting on Twitter, Discord, and Reddit). The issue is not Sony, Arrowhead itself is mismanaged at a fundamental level. How many times has important information about the game been released only on Discord instead of through the game itself? I'm working on a bigger post after this but Arrowhead is overall poorly managed, and being a small studio isn't an excuse. There's a reason no one knew who they were before Helldivers 2.

The required PSN account is just the final nail in the coffin.

There are so many nigger cattle on Reddit that defend this shit.

This one is my favorite

This nigger would see himself, his family, and friends chained like slaves by corpos and smile and smugly tell everyone “This is just the world we live in now!! Even though we are slaves to fag government and oligarchs we should just accept it and eat the shit we are given and be happy!!”

I view farm animals as more worthy of life than “people” like this.

Even if they go back on there decision ps "I don't think they will" . Its to late the damage is done I can imagine many people will stop playing from this point on.

>after that you forget about it forever
Forever... or until the next big Sony leak leads to all of your information becoming public.

>Accuses people of reacting like boomers
>Acts like a technologically illiterate boomer who can't even click "disable cookies"
Reddit is truly a special place.

You can take opiates and drink alcohol in the shittter too, but that doesn't mean you should do it. Well, maybe this redditor should.

This nigger would see himself, his family, and friends chained like slaves by corpos and smile and smugly tell everyone “This is just the world we live in now!! Even though we are slaves to fag government and oligarchs we should just accept it and eat the shit we are given and be happy!!”

That post is literally "Tell me you fuck trans women without telling me you fuck trans women".

Old news its even lower (and still plummeting)

Steam is reading 20k negative reviews today but SteamDB is a bit more grim, having QUADRUPLED from the 10k it was at 3ish hours ago

With the retarded balance changes, inability to fix bugs, and now this it really feels like they are trying as hard as humanly possible to ruin a good, possibly great game. Literally all that I wanted was for the bugs to be fixed and for the game to be less annoying.

I expected nothing from the Swedes and I am still disappointed. How do you fuck up this hard and this consistently? Is it deliberate?

Proportion of positive recent reviews yesterday slightly after the announcement and today.

What a shitshow.
They've even got lower since I took that second screenshot.

Total reviews are currently at 77%.

What sucks most about this for me is first 40k shit it’s pants with a dumb move and I thought “No big deal I can still log on and kill bugs” and then this happens. It’s like I can’t have things to enjoy. What’s next Rekieta shoots himself?

They lost their Very Positive rating because of this shit. Sony must reconsider.

Spitz is so retarded and hateable that even the redditors are shredding him in the comment sections of the sub. If I were AH I'd do a public janny execution on Spitz, keep Twinbeard, and have Baskinator be on probation for a while longer since it seems like she actually learned her lesson unlike Spitz.

I don't get why these companies are so set on having some of the worst PR reps you can possibly have as a business in this industry. CM's are THEE most replaceable position on the team. Loyalty for jannies is loyalty misplaced.

 

[dustbuster]

TBH getting more and more fucking depressed watching this debacle.

A passionate CEO and his dev team are suffering over retarded Sony policy and their shitty ass CM team.
It's like watching a train slowly vaporize a full school bus.

 

[mindlessobserver]

For the people air dropping into the thread, I must again repeat. READ THE DAMN TOS for the Playstation Network. Under no circumstances should you agree to those terms.

On stream?

Honestly, if you haven't already, play EDF. They're great games, though the atmosphere is more tongue in cheek. Personally I prefer 5 but 4 is also very fun, even alone, and quite challenging. There's a reason everyone compared HD2 to them.

 

[4090 Chad]

After reading and thinking about it… this explanation is complete fucking bullshit. Since when has any game company given a single fuck about cheaters ruining games? Blizzard has thousands of bots running rampant in WoW, there are wall hackers and aim bots in every competitive shooter consistently… most cheaters that get banned are through automatic detection systems or because the player meets a threshold report by their fellow players because these studios are too lazy/cheap to pay for more human reviewers and game masters.

Sony wants people to link PSN accounts to grow their numbers and so when people are playing the game, they can go to their shareholders and say this is how much time nigger cattle consoomers are playing their slop. Fuck them.

Been watching this relatively small youtuber for meta analysis and live stream background noise....

Apparently talked about it last night on stream cause he's in TW or some shit, 30 seconds in and he is already kissing Sony's ass "Oh that's employee data though and EA and Ubisoft leak stuff too." ... "Sucks for those countries but oh well" ... "What is so important about your data? You are worthless and un-important", "Your data is already out there so it doesn't matter", "None of you have anything worth stealing, I am in more danger than you" (because of my shitty youtube channel that might make $500 a month...nigga lives with his Mom)...

I fucking knew it, literally named AsianRobot, gotta live up to the fucking meme I guess. Why are Asians like this? Is it the need to grift and grift hard at all times? To save face and feel superior? Is it some form of confusian mind rape? Too much tofu?

The fallout from this is hilarious.

RealAsianRobot? The ricenigger who makes dogshit darktide builds and cries when people tell him they're garbage? Lol, of course he'd move on to Helldivers.

Wendy's Twitter and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Community managers and public relations seem to have it in their heads that the best way to handle everything is by being "snarky and quirky". It feels like that episode of South Park where Cartman pretends he has Tourettes to say whatever he wants for so long that he completely loses any filter he once had. Literally all they had to say was "We're sorry and we understand how you feel. However, our hands are tired and this decision is outside of our control".

Community Manager who doesn't know when to keep their mouth shut.

I fell for the PSN trap, too. Didn't read the little label, game was running perfectly fine without it anyway. I really think this was a calculated grift so players can't refund, I don't believe the excuse with the technical troubles, even though they really are utterly incompetent with everything remotely technical.

But it's hardly a loss anyway, because I don't enjoy this game anymore. The constant change of every loadout that worked conditioned me to believe that every loadout sucks now. It's something modern gamedevs don't understand anymore: If you nerf a gun that was good before, people will stop using that gun, but they will not use the one buffed, because they still associate it with being bad. It's simple psychology that can't be expected from developers who don't even play their own game and spreadsheet-balance it according to what is used most often.

But I will enjoy their decline and gleefully rub it into their smug faces. Fuck service-games.
