Just play something better and skip buying it all together.
I know helldivers 2 had a ton of controversy around the PSN login but otherwise it's a fantastic game. Been loving it.
Likewise. Helldivers 2 has proven there’s some life left in the otherwise moribund live service category, by doing something different and most importantly fun.
Somehow I think battlefield will fail to learn anything from Helldivers success and end up churning out another over monitzed, rather dull, addition to the category.
Battlefield has probably been in development for 4 years now and their C-Suite doesn't know shit about dick. That ship turns like the titanic - It's going down.
They did their damnedest to kill it with terrible decision making, though…
Isn't Helldivers 2 kind of a live service game too? I only tangentially know about it.
Yes in that there is a new battlepass every month with new guns and armor to unlock.
No in that you can earn the battlepass with in game currency and never have to give them more than the $40 that the game cost to have a ton of fun.
Beyond that - They've taken live service games to a better place. There's an ongoing galactic campaign and the individual missions you run contribute to galactic objectives which have real consequences in game. They have a dedicated "Game Master" like a DND Dungeon Master who decides when to release new units, what happens when we succeed and how to punish failure.
And most importantly: It's a lot of fun.
Battle bit.
256 player servers are just insane still. It's got the gameplay without the fancy graphics.
256 players is definitely more than you'll ever need but I do miss the 1000v1000 mayhem of Planetside 2.
Battle Bit is dope
