The success of Helldiver's 2 will make Sony make more GAAS titles instead of singlep

Helldiver's 2 has more players than all other Sony games combined on PC.

This is what the players want.

Fun, coop multiplayer games with live service elements and progression.

Not one and done story driven single player games.

I have yet to purchase Helldiver's 2 and I might never purchase it, but it's good to see the downfall of these types of games with my own eyes.

It will likely mean more ps/pc concurrent launches for Sony first party.

There will still be single player games

It's funny watching the Sony fanbase cheer for the kind of stuff they swear Microsoft is the devil for.

Xbox game is on PC?"Lol Xbox has no games, this is why it the most useless platform ever. You would have to be a retard to defend this."

PS game is on PC?"Well you see, this is actually a good thing and different because that means there is a concurrent presence for Sony first party that helps bolster sales providing further dominance for Sony. Their games are also still console exclusive, a really big deal that will no doubt help sell consoles despite the game also being on PC. You would have to be a retard to ignore the benefits presented by embracing this business model."

Really fun when I was able to get in a couple games tho, they just gotta get it sorted a bit

Not sure if srs?

This game has alot of comedy and satire, complete opposite of what Sony usually puts out... There isn't really much of a story beyond the introduction stuff

I know what you mean, it's been at that point for a while now. I'll just look at whatever the latest one of these games is that's being hyped up and roll my eyes at it. I have no idea how people still get excited for this chit.

Sony gets 10 million sales tops for their "triple a story driven bangers"

There's upwards of a billion gamers now.

No one cares for single player games. And by no one I mean 0.1% of gamers care. You don't even care, all you play is pubg, but you can't help but suck PS cawk every chance you get

Yup, heck it's already the only way to really enjoy gaming anymore. So many new games that can't live up to old games. It's gotta be one of the best things about Xbox right now, the ease of ability to enjoy the GOAT 360 gen, probably the worst gen to miss out on games from.

I just don't get what happened to all of these fun, original and vibrant games. There's literally nothing like them anymore. I wasn't even a huge gamer when the 360 came out but i still had to play all of those games. Probably rented them all in the first month.

The only problem with retro gaming though is you either need a CRT tv or some old ass monitor that does 720p because they don't work on newer displays. I ran into those issues on Series X.

But yeah i'm seriously considering just doing it and going back. I'm really worried about the future of gaming since nothing interesting is on the horizon.

PC games don't work either the only launcher that works is Xbox. Their games work fine. Every other launcher/company has a lot of issues.

Yeah my biggest issue with gaming now a days is simply the lack of good variety outside of the AA scene, and AA games can only go so far. AAA is just all about chasing after the same few boring popular tends all the time, and they spend forever making those games as well. Might as well just go back and enjoy older game. Plus, they're always trying to figure out ways to rip people off these days as well, always some bullchit way to sell games with, like a multitude of season packs for DLC characters or some stupid virtual currency system.

I pretty much only play AAA type games. But yeah they take forever and have a lot of DLC now. Tekken and COD are good examples. Used to love these games but it's become too much.

Tbh i never even buy the battle passes or characters i just want games that are released in full and that are fun.

I actually think Tekken is one of the rare exceptions right now, a AAA fighting game that doesn't feel like it's trying to nickel and dime you on DLC or fall into the usual online-centric bullchit. But yeah, COD is just a mess now a days, I refuse to buy any new ones even though I still love playing the classics on occasion.

Maybe it wasn't Tekken 7 but almost all the fighting games want you to buy chit. It's all too much to me. Why do gamers support this crap? I will talk to them and they are like yeah dude i'm gonna preorder all these new games and get the DLC. This ain't the gaming i used to know tbh. It's all different now.

Yup, it's all just consumerism now a days. People buying the latest chit just to be a part of the current thing that all the buzz on the internet is about.

Another brilliant take by SubmissiveGamer, yes, those big Sony single player games are really struggling. JLoL.

As if this is exclusive to games-as-a-service nowadays.

They've conditioned enough retards to think that spending at least 1/12th the price of an entire game for 1/1000th the amount of content that took half a day to churn out is not only perfectly acceptable, but gamers should be down on their kneesthankingthe holy developers for bestowing upon them a pair of cat ears and being generous enough toonlycharge what they did for what used to just be included in games for free.

Anyways, if there's some good to come out of Helldiver's 2 success, it was not some AAAA game thatneededsales numbers rivaling the population of a small country to break even on the marketing, nor did they expect it be remotely this popular, hence the ongoing server issues.

At the very least, it's a laugh that Sony listened to Bungle and decided to can Factions 2 because it couldn't be exploited enough, throwing away years of work and possibly millions of dollars. Meanwhile, this under the radar Starship Troopers-esque shooter that doesn't look like gen z, lite-brite gonorrhea was more successful by virtue of not being an endless money pit like Call of Duty or Destiny and just being a fun, bug and/or friend killing game.

The developers havereiterated that the game will never be pvpand said to play something else instead, so it has that in its favor over most live service games, including whatever GAAS garbage Sony has on the docket to throw at the wall.

It's an all around good lesson that these things cannot be predicted or forced by throwing money down the drain and will just pop off organically. Contrast Helldivers 2 to Foamstardsless than stellar reception; I honestly couldn't tell that that game was out yet (apparently it is), and I doubt that the cringe anarchy heist game is going to do well.

Ah, shït, you haven't heard the latest:

Tekken 8 Adding Microtransactions With New Shop Feature


The fact people are still defending this kind of obvious attempt to dodge negative press during reviews is a testament to how royally cucked games are thanks to consumerist zombies.

"Aw, the poor corporation! We have to buy their $5 costumes so they continue to support the game!"
I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel - The fury in me is divine
My dark grave awaits, my fate is revealed - But I'm not afraid to die

Tekken 8 Adding Microtransactions With New Shop Feature


The fact people are still defending this kind of obvious attempt to dodge negative press during reviews is a testament to how royally cucked games are thanks to consumerist zombies.

"Aw, the poor corporation! We have to buy their $5 costumes so they continue to support the game!"
Aww chit, I knew it felt too good to be true lol. Here I was so happy that they decided to include all the past soundtracks for free, because I loved that feature in Tag 2 but they were charging for them. Now they pull this. Now the minimalist approach to the costume customization content makes sense though, what we have had available is simply all the free content, the rest is going to be charged. This definitely feels like the sort of bait n switch we got with GT7, when they released the pay content after all the critic reviews. Very sneaky.

Game is a lot of fun but have only been able to play about 3 hours total. GAAS in general are chit though. By the time this game gets its servers figured out the big influx of players will have moved on.
