I've had my eye on Helldiver's 2, but I'm not creating a PSN account. (Serious)

I know my $40.00 is pretty important to them, so I thought I would mention it here. (Sarcasm)

Same. I was thinking about getting it, but the kernel level anti-cheat is a no go, but then I found out on Linux they don't have a kernel-level anti cheat, so then I was thinking about it again. No way they'll ever get me to make a PlayStation account, I left consoles for a reason.

GREAT TO HEAR!

I have a PSN account. I can't ethically support this move that locked so many players out 4 months after buying a game. So I won't be buying until at minimum a solution is in place for all those users, but probably not even then.

Was thinking I'd binge this game this winter. Definitely not now lol

You can’t “binge” a live service game where the plot changes in real time.

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

The plot changes?

In any event, I can definitely binge something even if the plot changes. The core gameplay likely will remain the same.

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Yes, you still shoot bugs and robots.

But the planets that are available- and by extension the missions - change all the time. You can’t just mainline the game for 150 hours in a week and experience all of it.

Most of the people complaining about the lack of variance in gameplay are the ones playing 12 hours a day constantly.

[-] slumberlust@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

This is a hot take. Playing on a hot planet against bots and defending a cold planet against bugs isn't an engaging live story.

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Enabling TCS on planets and having to disable them on a destroyed version of the map a month later because the TCS was actually mutating the bugs to become more powerful?

[-] slumberlust@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

We must be playing two different games. I shoot some bugs, play some DDR, and hop on an airplane.

Not gonna lie chief, I don't think anyone from SIE is on Lemmy. Like, I agree, but also I think nobody who needs to hear you is listening, not because they're not listening, but because they aren't here to hear you.

Lol. Yeah.

Sorry, I left off the /s there.
