I have yet to buy mine.

buddy it's looking like you're in the minority.

 

[tommib]

How does this game work for those of us that are forever alone? It looks cool, but no way am I getting a full squad to have fun.

You’ll be matchmaking players. And they will help you. Everything is going to be alright.

 

[tommib]

...in US.

[normalguy09x]

If this game wasn't multiplayer only, I'd check it out as well.

 

[Sanepar]

Pre loaded can't wait for tomorrow!

 

[Alebrije]

Want to jump on this Game but none of My Friends seems to like it, random matchmakes is the only left.

 

[rodrigolfp]

The shooting fears me. Smells like brain dead "giant hit boxes + bullet magnetism", again. Hope I am wrong.

I’ve added a ton of people from GAF. Just ask around.

you guys can play w/ each other

Same, I almost had the feeling Playstation pretty much sent this out to die a while back but coverage and previews really helped the reception. Maybe they were pretty confident it would stand on its own all along, pretty hard to tell tbh.

I'm one of those who doesn't really follow gaming news or hype, usually assuming I'm going to hear it all here. Blind spots!

 

[The artful mincer]

Solo can be played on the lower difficulties. It'll likely be fun for a few hours as you unlock stuff, but the game was definitely designed for co-op play rather than solo play.

How big a hit will this be? He's your choices

1. Suicide Squad.
2. MLB the show.
3. Destiny.
4. Genshin Impact.
5. Fortnite

Which game above will it match in success?!

 

[FoxMcChief]

Call me crazy, but I think launch price has a lot to do with both games doing well early on.

I hope more devs/pubs take notice.

 

[sendit]

Will buy later today. Palworld got old fast, Enshrouded is the much better survival open world game ATM.

 

[DenchDeckard]

I don't think anyone added me..... sadge

...OK, OK, I get it....but little do you know about how good I am at squashing bugs!

 

[Mr Hyde]

MP is really not my thing but the game do look fun. PC requirements look somewhat lean too so probably can run it at 1080p @60. Might give it a go later on when the time is right. Looks like a game with long legs.

 

[Generic]

Multiplayer games as always selling the most.

 

[Belthazar]

Didn't expect it to do this well, but I kinda understand the success. It is a "squad" game after all and the pricing makes it very easy to annoy your friends until they bite the bullet and buy to to play with you. In my case my copy turned into 3, with 2 friends buying to play with me after I pestered them for days (a fourth one is almost caving in and buying it too).

So I imagine it'll do better than a lot people expected due to that nature.

 

[Belthazar]

Same, I almost had the feeling Playstation pretty much sent this out to die a while back but coverage and previews really helped the reception. Maybe they were pretty confident it would stand on its own all along, pretty hard to tell tbh.

I feel like both Sony and the developers were very confident in how fun the game was and counted on the previews to really sell the game... And sell the game they did.

Ill give it a whirl this weekend but I’m neck deep in infinite wealth and tekken

 

[CamHostage]

Wow, not bad! I thought Helldivers 2 was doomed to fight its way out of sleeper-release status, having not really registered as a major game on the PS or general gamer radar, so I'm glad and surprised to see it came out of the gate strong.

 

[Dynasty8]

Hoping this game continues doing well. HD2 looks like a lot of fun. First one was pretty underrated too.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

1. Suicide Squad.

4. Genshin Impact.
5. Fortnite

Why wouldn't you compare it to studios of similar size? That way you can see which games are trending in the right direction.

1. Returnal
2. Demons Souls
3. Forespoken
4. Ghost wire Tokyo
5. Deathloop

It'll do better than all 5. I'm expecting DRG levels of success here. It'll continue being updated 4 years from now.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

It's now #1 on Steam.

 

[DannyDanger]

Many previous bad experiences playing with randoms. Oh well.

Just make some friends. I'm pretty Anto social, even I have friends. I'll play with you, I don't wanna be your friend tho

 

[mckmas8808]

I was so confused. I saw HellBlade 2 and was like WAT?!

 

[Schmendrick]

I absolutely expected this game to quietly come and go nearly unnoticed and I have no clue why so many people suddenly seem to care about it.

 

[Holammer]

Nooo! If it sells it's only going to encourage Sony to do more GaaS.

 

[Null Persp]

I didn't know this was a tps, I thought this was top down like the first.
Looks awesome, wishlisted.

 

[ChiefDada]

Nooo! If it sells it's only going to encourage Sony to do more GaaS.

Actually, I expect the opposite. If Sony has found their Fortnite (or something close enough to it) there is little/no need to invest $$$ into other new and unproven GAAS ideas.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

#3 now globally passing palworld

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

"Chasing trends" = Games I don't like.

That's all it ever was.

Tell that to Cliffy B and Lawbreakers.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

When are reviews dropping.

 

[demigod]

PC gamers love these type of stuff, not surprised.

 

[LordofAllThatIsEvil]

I am in…no friends are interested. On ps5 as ApexCuddler. Add me.

Maybe pump the brakes before you compare this to Fortnite

 

[ChiefDada]

Maybe pump the brakes before you compare this to Fortnite

Maybe consider the context of the comment I was responding to. It's not about comparing HD2 to Fortnite. It's theorizing over Sony's action/response if they launched a successful GAAS project.

 

[sachos]

Uh, interesting. Did not know there was much hype building up for this game. Interested in seeing how many CCU it gets along the first 2 weeks. I guess it is always online no?

 

[sigmaZ]

So this is just gonna be a thing now then. I imagine we're gonna hypetrains every month now over Steam numbers. Recently there's been a spike in hype waves around everything.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

For the no squad crowd, Discord is your friend. Just hit LFG channels in there until a few non-dickheads keep playing with you. It's not that dramatic.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

PC gamers love these type of stuff, not surprised.

We do love good games, you are correct.

 

[EruditeHobo]

This is the next undertaking by my crew of online gaming buddies... glad to see it's doing well, and I hope it's as fun/good as it looks.

Jumping in tomorrow for launch day. The only good bug is a dead bug.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

You love to see it.

I do.

 

[T-0800]

When exactly does this unlock? Trying to decide if I should get it today or not.

 

[geary]

Now we are hyped about GAAS games?

 

[nikos]

Hope their servers are ready.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Not to detract from Helldivers, but no shit it's selling more at this current moment than the thing everybody has already bought.

That's how selling things works.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Maybe pump the brakes before you compare this to Fortnite

That's what people said about Fortnite

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

We do love good games, you are correct.

You played this?
