Depends if I end up getting anything for Christmas and/or my birthday. Whatever the case, Helldivers 2 will be in the mix. I only have Christmas Eve and Day off, so I won't be going mad.

Incels. Incels everywhere.

Incels. Incels everywhere.

Have you returned to Helldivers 2 since the new update deployed?

Please. I never left. I'm no dissident.

Sign me up. Dave the Diver is one of the very best games to come out in the last couple of years.

@dark_knightmare2 I aim to please.

@dark_knightmare2

I really hope this quickly passes because it annoys me almost as much as seeing 30 and 40 year olds trying to use young people slang in threads which is just embarrassing

This comment is totes based.

How long until Mike Ybarra claims that "10 million players in 72 hours" was actually stolen from Overwatch?

Arrowhead made a gas mine stratagem available to all Helldivers 2 players, so this weekend I am learning that many, many, MANY Helldivers don't know how to use mine stratagems properly; my guy spent most of yesterday evening coughing up a lung.

Maybe they'd have had more players if the game was available on more than one storefront. Releasing a paid multiplayer-only title solely on PlayStation? What did you expect, Squeenix?

Also, this would be a good time to release Gran Turismo 7 on PC, Sony. Hint... Hint... 👀

@LifeGirl @HotGoomba it sounds like a Gran Turismo playset manufactured by Fisher Price.

@Jrs1 🤣🤣

@Dimey I've only played with randos, as nobody I know is playing it, and I have to agree that it's the most friendly online game I've ever played. I've only had a handful of incidents where people were actively being toxic. Oh, and one incident where one of my teammates must have hit his head and thought he was actually in the armed forces, barking out orders and telling us what stratagems we should and shouldn't be using. I paid no attention to his strategies, which is a good job really, because I put a gatling turret in a prime position right on the edge of a platform and the dope still managed to squeeze in between it and the edge and get torn to shreds, before blaming me for "not taking enough care in my turret placement" 🤣

@Americansamurai1 I do wonder if they'll wait until next year to add them. We're a little over two months away from the game's one-year anniversary, after all. Then seems like a good time to add in an entire extra faction and set of planets.

@Americansamurai1 yeah, I imagine the numbers will spike when the third faction drops, just like they did with the "buff everything" patches.

I didn't get it until late August/early September; I'm at 104 hours so far 😁

People go on about Helldivers 2's decline in popularity like it's a dead game, but the reality is that most live-service/multiplayer games lose the majority of their initial players very early on. Plus those launch period numbers were an anomaly; very few games peak that high that early on, or ever.

Go into the game right now and you'll have no problem finding a team to join. Or start an operation and you'll have three other players join your team almost immediately. Helldivers 2 is still going strong and any nominations or awards it receives are well deserved.

FOR DEMOCRACY!!!

I really hate the word Matterlings.

@iPaud it's one of my most wanted PC ports, alongside Astro Bot.

The S.E.A.F. denies allegations of testing new equipment under live fire conditions.

@XenonKnight plus, Steam users can't be that miffed about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2; it currently sits at 76% positive in user reviews. If the Steam audience at large isn't happy with a game, you can be sure the user score will plummet. Case in point: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is currently at 20% positive.

@XenonKnight that's better 👍

@XenonKnight I love it. "The Steam forums are not happy"... but the link just goes to a thread where the only replies are from people clowning on "I'm voting with my wallet". 🤣 I'd have picked a better example, to be honest.

There's not enough salt in the world when it comes to Nick Baker (I'm not calling him that; it's stupid).

Black Myth: Wukong will win, provided China's cheque clears in time 😏

Put Doop in, you cowards.

@Dominator2885 *grammar.

@Tecinthebrain maybe they did, maybe they didn't. I did say probably, because I'm on the outside looking in. But the buck doesn't stop at GSG whatever the truth is.

@colonelkilgore then explain to me what you actually meant. Explain to me what subtle, clever and insightful subtext I'm not getting from your original comment.

@colonelkilgore no you didn't. GSG probably did the best they could with the time and resources they were given. Then they spent years fixing the game that Rockstar decided to put out when it wasn't ready and had their name removed from the game as thanks. Pinning the blame on GSG while proclaiming that Rockstar was "returning the favour" is one of the most idiotic things I've ever read.

Groan.

@colonelkilgore if Rockstar wasn't happy with Grove Street Games' work, they shouldn't have shipped it in the state it was in.

@Blauwe_Chimay a new Midtown Madness? Now you're speaking my language.

@Icey664 he's making a joke that he misunderstood the word "niggle" as "n****r". Not exactly comedy gold.

I mean, if any Sonic game legitimately needs a remake, it's Sonic '06.

I'm glad social media didn't exist in my formative teenage years. If it had, I probably wouldn't have made it this far.

@Lofty1985 come on now. I told you a few days ago: just scroll on by. Use your loaf.

Edit: oh no, wait! That was someone else who didn't understand the concept of not clicking on things. You people seem to be multiplying.

Cool. I haven't had a PlayStation for a good few years now and I've been catching up on Sony's first-party games as they've been coming to PC. Rift Apart, Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Sackboy, Ghost of Tsushima; they're all excellent. The only one I didn't like was God of War. Keep them coming at a steady pace - even if it's only one or two a year - and I think everyone's happy.

I thought that the main problem with Helldivers 2 requiring a PSN account was that, prior to the planned mandatory account linking, it was being sold in countries where you can't (without breaching Sony's terms of service) make a PSN account, which would've made the game unplayable in those countries.

@LiamCroft

Death Stranding: Director's Cut also launches today on PC and Amazon Luna via third-party publisher 505 Games.

Death Stranding and the director's cut have been on PC for a long time. It's even been on PC Game Pass.

@GeeForce but will it literally figuratively melt my face off?

Does anybody legitimately take any notice of user reviews on Metacritic? 99% of the people who post "scores" and "reviews" there are absolute melts who couldn't think objectively or critically if their lives depended on it.

Is that screenshot from the PS5 Pro enhanced version?

@Waitinonpsvr2 so many articles are about the PS5 Pro because it's coming out this week, so naturally there will be a lot of interest in it and Push Square is catering to that interest. As time goes on, you'll see fewer articles about it. I personally have no interest in getting a PS5 Pro (I'm on PC and Switch), but I still find it interesting to read about. And if I didn't find it interesting, I would just scroll on by. 🤷

It's PSSSR, Sony, and you know it.

@nomither6 January can't come quickly enough. I swear, as a gamer I wish my life away 🤣

@Matroska yeah, that confused me as well.

@Atreus97 playing Arkham Knight in 60fps is heaven.

Well thank God that Empire of Ants is PS5 Pro enhanced.

@zupertramp I know, what a moron 🙄🙄

@Frmknst Ok. I didn't know that. Sorry about that 🙄 Not sure how that contributes to remasters being useless though. I'm pretty sure faulty thermal paste and the existence of remasters aren't related in any way 🤷

The PS5 remaster definitely looks better, but man, Sony first-party devs were squeezing the PS4 for all it was worth towards the end. No wonder mine always sounded like a jet taking off.

What marketing expenses? 🤔

Herman's doing a lot of thanking and showing a lot of gratitude to a lot of people today. Just not enough gratitude to, y'know, keep them employed.

Also, side note: referring to Sony as "the Japanese giant" makes me cringe every time. It sounds like an 80s wrestler. IT'S THE JAPANESE GIANT WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!
