Wow, don't think their aggressive reaction was warranted damn
Personally I really do enjoy playing HD2. A lot of fun playing with my partner and a couple friends, the microtransactions are available for in game cash (still would prefer them not to exist but yeah), and they don't FOMO time restrict their "battle pass" unlocks. Absolutely understand why you would choose not to play it though, the always online is a huge problem with the industry right now. I had no idea about the PSN requirement until it became mandatory, and tbh I didn't even realize it was sony beforehand...I'm not the most observant >_>
Yeah that's what confuses me, like isn't the AccursedFarms guy on an ad campaign against just this type of thing right now? Also imo a paid game should never have mtx, publisher greed. At least there's not much fomo...
Honestly the game kind of looks like new Lost Planet, and I would really want a New Lost Planet. But I can go boot up LP1 and 2 on 360 right now and play em, fifteen years later, will it be the same with Helldivers II??
100% this game is not even close to the ideal, and I wish they didn't have any mtx. Ross Scott is running the stop killing games campaign and it's getting surprisingly popular, which yeah does raise the question why so many of the angry gamers aren't mad about the fundamental issue of always online software.
Also yeessssss please, another lost planet. I would've been playing LP2 with my partner like right now if the GFWL and connection issues weren't such a pain in the ass to get around. I will admit HD2 does feel a lot like a less jank lost planet but it isn't quite the same.
Uncritical support to Ross, I guess it isn't surprising that not every gamer has principles like that though. Most people just view games as entertainment, so who cares right? I played Evolution Studios' Onrush while it was online, and it's a great atypical car combat game but what did they do? Shut it down. At least I can still play it solo against bots, but when that game came out, and when I looked at stuff like 1991's Neverwinter Nights, I decided never to engage with a game that can just be shut off.
Yeah I own LP2 on PC, but I also have a 360 copy so I can coop it, which shouldn't have to be the case, fuck GFWL. Sucks there's no new LP...
