mwz can definitely be frustrating at times but i really loved it back when it released but stopped playing it by december. started up again with s5 and it's still a ton of fun. helldivers was fun for a bit but it doesn't compare to cod, even with all its bs it's amazing how they juggle 3 different modes every year and have a campaign in it too...even tho they have really dropped off. btw i buy these on disc so i can sell them after, too much digital waste otherwise!
@ATM_Jack4 күн бұрын
Yeah, I think MWZ can be fun, especially with my brain dead friends lol And people compared Helldivers to COD in my last video, so I had to tackle that bs here too. Great strategy with the disc. I can't since it's PC, BUT would do the same if I had it on console. Thanks for the comment!🫡

@joshua752929 күн бұрын
At 14:16, you missed out on a few facts that were important to understanding the debacle as a whole that I believe are important to note. When Helldivers 2 first launched, it was always intended that players would have to make PSN accounts in order to play the game. Arrowhead Studios is the developer of the game, but Sony owns the the rights to the intellectual property of Helldivers, as well as the publishing rights. I am aware that the PSN website listing of Helldivers 2 had its PSN account requirements changed and exposed via eagle-eyed users using the Wayback Machine, but I will be addressing that in the next paragraph. What happened in the beginning when the game was launched was that the game's servers were filled to capacity with players, and many were unable to join. This led to a cavalcade of memes about people wanting to play the game, but being unable to do so. One of the community managers for Arrowhead noted on Twitter when the PSN debacle was going down that if the requirement to make or link a PSN account were enforced at that time, the game's servers would have gone down completely. They instead opted to tell everyone at the latest possible time, withholding that information, noting that they dreaded having to share the information/announcement, as they knew it wouldn't fly over well with the community. (I believe it may have been Johan Pilestedt who stated this sentiment, but please correct me if I am wrong.) I would argue that this was a misstep, and that such information should have been shared much earlier with the community, not treating it as a secret and responsibility that they refused to disclose until months after the game had launched. It should also be noted that while a great deal of countries are not supported by Sony, many outside of the supported countries pointed out that Sony tended to turn a blind eye to those who falsely stated where they actually lived. When the protests and review bombing were deemed 'successful' by the community after Sony had addressed it on Twitter, rolling back the PSN account requirement, Sony then decided to remove all unofficial support and the ability to purchase the game from countries that were not meant to have the game sold in in the first place. This left many outside of the supported countries lamenting the fact that the community had ruined the ability for their friends (And themselves) the ability to continue purchasing and playing the game. To summarize, Arrowhead should have been more forthcoming with the account requirements from the start, and the Helldivers community's anger was greatly misguided. In review bombing the game, they brought attention to a fact that Sony allowed people outside supported countries to play their games, so long as they acknowledged that they were turning a blind eye to it and to not mention it. So much for the community stating, "We either dive together, or we don't dive at all." People have expressed a desire to see a review bombing cape be introduced into the game, which baffles me as they made it impossible for some players to play the game and their efforts only made it so that they would only have to avoid linking a PSN account, which was a relatively minor thing to have to do in hindsight. I uninstalled the game at around the time the debacle happened. Along with the balancing team, the constant crashes and the game's worsening optimization fixes, I do not regret doing so.

Regardless of what anyone in the comments feels, this game had gotten stale, and that's reflective in daily player counts. The game should have been popular enough to sustain itself for quite a while, but thanks to each horrible update, you can see a steep decline in the playerbase. Arrowhead struck gold and just couldn't capitalize on it, and it's not going to get any better untill the fan base stops deluding itself.

@Krauser84Ай бұрын
Uh oh. Good thing we can't see thumbs down anymore or I'm sure you'd be in negative oblivion right now. I agree that the game has gotten stale to a point (lack of new mission types) and definitely some of the drop in player count is due to terrible game design decisions. But don't say that too loud! One thing I can't stand about this community is that they refuse to accept that Arrowhead can do shitty game design decisions (which they have done plenty in the almost 6.9 months the game has been out). This has also cost me playing with a good chunk of my friends considering none of them want to play it now because all of the weapons they used to enjoy using, got fucking nerfed for no reason which made the game unfun for them. One thing I also wish Arrowhead would do is just allow players to choose what 3 missions to play instead of basically settling for whatever you get in the queue. I don't find the eradication missions fun at all and would just like to be able to play 3 long missions with my buddies. I should also mention that I have 270 hours into this game and I can run 9s with randos without too much trouble but I don't even enjoy playing it. I just play it a 3 to 4 hours a week to keep my skills sharp because the damn game is so difficult.

Much like the first game (which predated alot of the live-service games/trends common now - no season passes, currencies/super credits to purchase or even free content waves just classic dlc gear packs) HD2 is in for the long run and will take time even years to really feel "complete" I'm honestly still surprised and grateful to this day we got a sequel *at all* let alone a 3-D one with such production value, seemed like a pipedream at one point. While i understand balancing complaints, this is their first 3-D game i'm sure they've learnt alot (and still are) from it. However I do think players today are much too concerned if a game "falls off" or drops in player count - as its rather common for games of this type even DRG which is still going very strong 5 seasons later with its relatively small but loyal returning playerbase. HD2 could "die" next year (that won't happen) after illuminates are added and i'd still be happy with what Arrowhead accomplished.

I used everything different from mission to mission. Different armor and things like that. But still, there's something that isn't ticking in the game. Maybe I need to follow more the major orders and immerse myself into the Discord server. Then maybe I'll get the feeling of, “well, this shit's fun” again. And I agree with you. It's not something to play for hours. Maybe that's what I was doing wrong with my friends. We played 12 hours straight, you know. So yeah.
