    I’ve had my eye on Helldiver’s 2, but I’m not creating a PSN account.

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

      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.

        1. Nobody is locked out. Nothing has as yet changed.

        2. The Steam page has said “PSN account required” since day one. Anyone opposed to creating a PSN account on moral grounds and bought HD2 has no one to blame but themselves.

      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.

          The plot changes?

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

            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.

              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.

                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?

                  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.
