@PloverNutter It’s not that the weapons weren’t over-powered, it’s that they nerfed them into the ground, even if for a bug, and had no plans to revert after the bug.
They buffed the flamethrower a few times, boasted about certain things it could do, then made it useless when they released the flame warbond. It stopped me from buying some supercredits until the game got patched.
Some nerfs are fine, how they liked to burn the down the house in order to get rid of a few spiders instead of just removing perhaps not all at once.

So why does the warbond need to be priced higher? There should be no licensing fees because Sony owns Killzone and published Helldivers. Just release it as another warbond.
For finances maybe decrease super credit spawn rates on trivial missions? That’s how people farm. For some reason there seems to be more super credits there than playing on normal fun difficulties, which doesn’t even make sense. That’s be a good way of doing it.
The fact is other live service games are designed to bleed your wallet, HD isn’t and people like that.

@get2sammyb They’re not just cosmetics, it’s weapons and armor with a unique affect. The Killzone collection very much introduces gameplay changes and is not a cosmetic collection.

@LogicStrikesAgain Sony published Helldivers 2 and controls which platforms it’s on and whatnot. It’d pretty much be Sony paying Sony lol.

I hear you though, there is a balance to strike and AH is far better than most, I’m just worried about a slippery slope. I think superstore weapons are a bridge too far, so that needs to addressed in general. I feel giving some stuff away for free is a very nice band-aid, but only a band-aid.

I think they also put themselves in a bad spot by making it kinda too late to turn it into a warbond which it easily could have been and should have been.
@The_Wailing_Doom See above paragraph, they made it so there is no right answer by their own hand and fault. This is the only game over eve bought current for because it wasn’t trying to Nickel and dime me. This cross-over was nickel and diming me.

@LogicStrikesAgain they’re giving them away for free because people called them out for getting for dipping into garbage MT practices. I’m glad they listened, but we shouldn’t have to call them out in the first place.
Also, both Helldivers and Killzone are Sony franchises. There are zero listening fees here.

It’s great this was free after the outrageous prices, but now we need to get the other KZ stuff and superstore weapons given away. This is simply not good enough and after the big mistep.
They should have simply made all of this a war one from the start. It costs super-credits, but it’s reasonable.
Helldivers 2 is the only game I have ever bought currency for because it doesn’t feel like it’s nickel and diming me, it’s feels fair. I hope they don’t lose that.

It’s not just cosmetic. It’s weapons, which matter a lot and the armor has a new affect, which is also not cosmetic. It’s also crazy you how you went from “it’s cosmetic” to “it’s actually not, but that’s okay” within the same paragraph. I expect better journalism than this PS, that’s accurate and doesn’t contradict itself within two sentences or less.

Can we move away from the FMV with the girls? It feels kinda weird. It’s much more entertaining and funny when they just keep it in-game as part of the normal graphics.

I’ve been playing this and it’s fantastic, combat is great (with a small amount of jank), it looks good, the pacing is great. The Behemoth fights are awesome and the scale is impressive.

The puzzles are also fine and the game doesn’t dwell too long on them.
I’ve also not seen a VR game where climbing has a weight to it like this one before.

I’d say this is a must-have for VR, far from a 4/10, it’d say 8/10 9/10.

A solid linear campaign like this is desperately needed in VR and I’m honestly surprised the review rated it so low.

I just got this on a Steam sale. We’ll see if I want it here too. Hopefully some reviews compare it to the PC version.

@TheTraditional Better hardware makes for easier software development. Less needed optimization to run just as well will be helpful to making games and putting time elsewhere.

Also, VR definitely needs more hardware jumps.

Nah, Bluesky will fall and X will keep above it. I remember when Threads was the next big thing, that didn’t pan out very well.

I’m glad they’re adding some of this, but I’d rather have the third act be worked on and not somewhat obviously unfinished and empty compared to the first part of the game as deadlines approached.

What’s this about a new emulator? I wonder how the Sky games will look compared to the HD collection and it’s new aspect ratio.

His used games video will always be legendary. Shame to see him go, but that’s long time with Sony.

This looks pretty cool. I might pick this up. The PSVR2 totally has a hole to be filled with this kind of neat game.

@Flaming_Kaiser Excuse me? Act like all women are liars? I specifically said those who lie make it harder for the real victims (don’t tell me no one’s lied before, it’s happened in famous cases before). Nor did I ever say he was a good person.

Your premise is that a famous not great person must have done it which is false. Yes you just listed some terrible men and I want to see Tate locked up personally. His own mouth hasn’t left room for doubt.

You go ahead and retract what you said about acting all women about being liars though, that’s some manipulative garbage right there because you know I never said or implied that, but you think you can guilt me by pretending I did.

Leave it alone. If I’m out, I really don’t need to play games. I rarely play my Switch undocked.
And on a lite handheld note, the PSVR2 has taken that niche of an alternative ecosystem that brings something new to the table.

Do people play Lego games on PC?

@Deityjester Stealth is miles better than the first and it’s not nearly as janky. It’s much more modernized, smoother, and better QOL changes. I’ve played both and would rather play Payday 3 than 2 easily.

It’s a great game. Honestly had so many improvements over the second. Tech issues aside, I don’t know why people hate it so much. It’s like they expected it to launch with PD2 levels of content.

More stuff in the options menu doesn’t mean it doesn’t work out if the box. It still does, I can just dive myself while others don’t.

Ehh, let’s see that Unity patch. That will be newsworthy.

The game that’s giving away the season pass isn’t going to throw itself in front of a train? Wow, the train still might hit it mind you, but they won’t be as expidited.

@Medic_alert They’re are also old at this point. People don’t think about PS3 games a lot, but a rerelease can drum up that interest again.

@Dodoo I wish Lego games as they are would die. Lego game Susie’s to be different and interesting, then every single Lego game had to be a copy of Lego Star Wars and Lego games creativity have completely died eve since. The formula ran out is Steam for me with Lego Batman. A great run of three games, but it needed to stop there.

@LavenderShroud Nintendo shouldn't be able to patent anything that they are suing for here is the thing. Palworld is basically a parody of Pokemon.

A companion dispute with no ability to pick a side was resolved by saying “hey, look you two, you could talk about plants instead and you’ll both be happy”.
This isn’t Dragon Age, it stole the name and used it to try and get money because it would have failed completely otherwise.

Lies? You mana like when the you double down on Yasuke being a historical Samurai then backed out and said “Actually he really may not have been a Samurai”?

I think they could be sold separately for $40, problem solved.

Can you score this separately for flat and PSVR2?

Yeah, let's not. This isn't a good idea, and MS needs to push the publishers they bought onto PS (horrible idea to buy them and it's already failing evidenced by us getting our games back), and then actually invest in some management that knows up from down, then have them make their own portfolio of great games.

I just redeemed for $10 once, but it says something went wrong when I try to redeem it again. I have almost enough points for $40, so figured I should get $20 now before anything expires or goes wrong.

I better get my money.

It’s 4% back, I think that’s pretty decent TBH. It’s the non-purchase awards that suck.

This game's sales are obviously shaping up to be a disaster. Ubisoft is trying so hard to get people to buy it. Keep it a disaster.

I feel like this needs to account for small digital games that aren’t available physically.

Just do the right thing and cancel the game too please.

@Bionic-Spencer To be frank, the game wasn’t is an amazing state at launch. The need that broke the camel’s back was the flamethrower, it wasn’t that great to start with. It was buffed because it’s a live-service game. We just had another strong weapon and didn’t notice at first because we were still figuring out all the weapons. The launch day game simply didn’t have anything “taken away”. There’s definitely tinted glasses for looking at it though.

I think you bring up a good point about some games though.

@get2sammyb This article is wrong, Hitman PSVR2 is set to come out in December, and that's a huge PSVR2 release, biggest of the year really.

I think it’s a great idea. VR should do this more too.
It adds immersion and makes you be in-character more.

MGS5 Remake with Hayter?

Wow, the evil ending is still… awful and a lazy piece of crap.
This took a year? For what? To add almost nothing?

The fact that they think this is a fix and we should accept it as such is frankly insulting.

@zupertramp Absolutely, same with the disc drive. The pro succeeding while nickel and diming is bad for us all. Things don’t happen in a vacuum.

@DennisReynolds Or maybe dumb parents (only dumb ones) should not be allowed and big companies shouldn’t be able to patent basic ideas and stifle the rest of the industry for their own gain.

@PuppetMaster I’m not surprised the criticism want allowed. Some of the basic and obvious criticism of the game isn’t even allowed here because it’s considered “unpolite” nowadays. I can only imagine how much wasn’t allowed in Sony itself.

This should be illegal. i actually played Minecraft VR recently and don’t want it removed. It needs a legacy mode. You can’t just remove it. I get it, new Minecraft doesn’t work. Okay, let me play old Minecraft.

128 players wasn’t the problem, maps that made it feel like there was a lot less players than 64 player matches in previous games were the problem.
Not being Battlefield was the problem. I’d love to see 128 players again done in a Battlefield game.
