I know helldivers 2 had a ton of controversy around the PSN login but otherwise it’s a fantastic game. Been loving it.

Likewise. Helldivers 2 has proven there’s some life left in the otherwise moribund live service category, by doing something different and most importantly fun.

Somehow I think battlefield will fail to learn anything from Helldivers success and end up churning out another over monitzed, rather dull, addition to the category.

Isn’t Helldivers 2 kind of a live service game too? I only tangentially know about it.

Battle bit.

256 player servers are just insane still. It’s got the gameplay without the fancy graphics.

256 players is definitely more than you’ll ever need but I do miss the 1000v1000 mayhem of Planetside 2.

this will be said every single time a new big game is about to come out and mostly everybody still won’t listen. why?

Because most people aren’t in places like this. Most people don’t care about what the companies do, if they even know. I work next to a guy who buys the new call of duty every time, hates it, and buys the next anyway. Because it’s call of duty. He doesn’t care about mergers, or shutdowns, or what an Activision is.

He plays his games and that’s it. Folks like us, who are concerned with how the sausage gets made, we’re not big enough to make a difference.

It will be said to influence the decision of people who are new to the gaming scene and haven’t been repeatedly burned. Not everyone is a doom scroller like us.

I’m sure they liked that kind of language in the earnings call but it sounds pretty gross anywhere else.
