Y’all, Helldivers 2 is just so much fun. I would not have assumed at the beginning of 2024, just after completing Baldur’s Gate 3, that I would be championing an always online squad shooter - but this game is just so damn enjoyable. Furthermore, the community has been so engaged and invested in the spirit of liberty that it’s made me prioritize a style of game that I thought I had mostly left in my past.

Now we’re in the middle of this huge nonsense with PSN and it has completely sucked all the air out of the room. I understand why people are upset and I don’t agree with the shit that Sony is trying to pull. I just want to keep this magic going.

I don’t have much to say other than try to maintain some empathy for Arrowhead, as this seems to be out of their hands. They genuinely seem to want to just make a kick-ass game.

Keep up the good work Helldivers.

    This truly is a live service game. What you got from day 1 is not the same thing months later.

    Even though this game excels in certain communication aspects, there are other parts that fall flat. Par for the course for an online game… and real life.

      All I ask is if I get back to my ship it’s at the terminal. Having to walk for 10 seconds to get to the terminal every time I leave a lobby is pain.
