Fixing issues like that when your live is nightmare fuel.

The hilarious part is that this game is basically what people have asking for years for Halo and Gears
Wish I could get this to link correctly, but essentially my weekend.
No people wanted the game we you would be dropped in pod and fight against Covenant or Flood. Hell, we could have even forerunners.Who is asking Halo / Gears to become extraction shooters
If anything, this reinforces philosophy of Halo / Gears, fun game over everything else.
It just exposes Xbox fans' bizarre parasocial relationship to xbox executives. It was a weird thing for Phil Spencer to say, and the result is that xbox fans read it as a directive.Damn, Jim Ryan da GOAT.
Oh about this...y'all have probably seen that post on Twitter from the Jake guy that has like 32K likes and went kinda viral right? You know, the one about PlayStation gamers supposedly asking for Sony to put Helldivers 2 on Xbox? Welllll, about that Jake guy....
That was his response after I asked them this:
Why would he respond that way unless he was basically admitting he doesn't have a PS5 or a PC (or a capable enough PC) to play Helldivers 2 on? Which means that the super-weird part about the Helldivers 2 port-begging, that PlayStation gamers are supposedly asking for the game to go to Xbox as well, is basically bullshit. Those "PlayStation gamers" are probably just Xbox gamers pretending to be PlayStation gamers, for the most part.
Because it doesn't make any sense why someone who has a PS5 and/or PC, and whose friends very likely have one or both, would want Helldivers 2 to go to Xbox so badly they're publicly asking for it to happen to "end the console war". No, consoles having exclusives isn't what fuels console warring, it's CEOs who complain about a game funded by another platform holder not being on their console, as if their console is owed a game simply because it exists.
The right mindset would be that CEO wondering "Damn, what can I do to inspire and drive a capable team under my management to make something as good or even greater than this here game?", but well, we know that isn't the case.
But yeah, anyway I think this is probably the start of what's gonna be a real nasty push (probably from MS execs and corporate BTS) for some "anti-exclusivity" BS narrative, coming from the Xbox side. And it'll get worst if/when more Microsoft 1P games go multiplat onto other consoles. It's seemingly not in Microsoft's nature to simply do what may be best for their brand and let others do what's best for theirs; they have a very petty person running their gaming division who will try using public sentiment to attack their competitors (whom they'll need more and more in order to hit growth targets in gaming).
Basically try bullying them through orchestrated public outcry & peer pressure to release more and more games on his platform, because apparently $80 billion wasn't enough to get the games he wanted (because regulators cockblocked them on what they really wanted to do with that $80 billion).
Yep. It's 100% engineered, orchestrated manipulation going on from bad faith actors, and the vast majority of the "PlayStation gamers" asking for it on Xbox are just Xbox gamers who either want to undermine the game somehow because it's a PlayStation console exclusive, or for whatever idiotic reason ONLY have an Xbox this gen (and maybe a Switch), no PS5 or even a half-decent PC that could run the game.
One of the ones I just saw a post from on Twitter, claimed they were a PlayStation guy, but if you go to their Twitter page you won't find ANYTHING about PlayStation there for a very long time aside Helldivers 2-related tweets (and that's more on the game itself). Then they responded basically admitting they don't even have a PS5 and probably don't have a decent PC to play the game either.
This is the kind of BS I vehemently dislike Microsoft for. This staged, overtly toxic type of manipulation of controlling narratives in gaming discourse, simply to push optics that favor their own agendas in the market against competitors. I knew something was up as soon as Phil Spencer cried about Helldivers 2 not being on Xbox, right after his "Business Update". And now, we have this.
Yeah purchasing one of the best FPS studios in the market was really foolish.That Bungie purchase looking like ass. They probably had nothing to do with HD2 and look how it's going.
Sony should chuck Bungie in the bin and get the gears turning on TLOU Factions again.
Nah I posted in the right one. This is the third most recent example of a game skyrocketing on Steam with media hype fueled by using Steam concurrent users and record breaking headlines.I think you posted in the wrong thread, this one is about Helldivers 2.
No people wanted the game we you would be dropped in pod and fight against Covenant or Flood. Hell, we could have even forerunners.
people are also assuming that Bungie didn't consult on this game at all. which is possible, but there's no reason to believe it one way or the other.Yeah purchasing one of the best FPS studios in the market was really foolish.

I'm annoyed by people calling HD2 AA just because it is 40$. It is a live service game. We wouldn't call Apex Legends AA because it is F2P. HD2 has some of best animations, audio, and special effects in the industry. The game probably cost 100+million to make and it was in development for 7+ yearsNah I posted in the right one. This is the third most recent example of a game skyrocketing on Steam with media hype fueled by using Steam concurrent users and record breaking headlines.
90% of the Helldivers 2 headlines include Steam numbers. Without Steam we wouldn't have these numbers and could only go by the vague "best sellers" list on PSN.
Quality AA + Steam is rocking the gaming industry right now and this is yet another example of it.

lmaoIt will look like that when Marathon bombs and Bungie goes bye bye.
Post bookmarked for when Marathon breaks Helldiver’s record.It will look like that when Marathon bombs and Bungie goes bye bye.
Agreed. The same thing happened with Palworld at first as wellas much as I´m annoyed by simply not being able to play, as a software architect myself I can imagine what Arrowhead is going through right now and I´d not want to switch with them. Having a project suddenly and unexpectedly blow up to x times the expected scope while already being live for the customers is an absolute nightmare.....

Damn, they've sold 10's of millions already.Thx to PC Players

This formula can work for ODST/GEARS, remember Firefight and Horde but you have more space to run aroundWho is asking Halo / Gears to become extraction shooters

It would be hard to keep up.Why isnt the title updated...its 409k, massive.
It should be even higher for the server cap this week-end. I finally bought the game on sunday and tried for 2+ hours to log in to no avail, couldn't even reach the tutorial. Will try again today ^^
No, you're not alone lolIs it way too conspiracy thinking and terminally online behaviour to think there may be an astroturfing campaign going on trying to devalue the importance of exclusivity for console platforms prosperity?
good question. no ideaHow does he know that? We only have Max players in game and steam ccu
