@@darkstalkerknight63 in case somebody would be reading this. He is just baiting.

This game was meant for 8k players at the beginning so no great plans were made, as this was seen probably as unecessary cost for such small playerbase. And you know how it ended. they now work to make the game more interesting and less repetitive, but it takes time, they are small group of developers compared to other branches.

@@darkstalkerknight63objectively untrue and the steam charts prove it. When making dumb claims you need to back them up with evidence which you don’t have.
my one complaint with this video is it doesn't put enough emphasis on sony de listing the game from over a hundred(?) countries whilst im not affected by it i know many other helldivers were
The issue is that this isn't actually an issue that affects much in the way of sales or success. Is it a problem? Yes, but the vast majority of sales are not from the countries it was delisted in, and the vast majority of players aren't going to boycott a game over that. Most people acting like they care about that issue aren't making decisions based on it, they're just going to complain about it and then either keep playing, or they already quit. With that said - I do hope it comes back to those countries, and it was a massive Sony mismanagement problem to allow it for sale and then delist it like that.
Yeah SNOY can go rest in a cemetery, my cousin and I planned to play together, he lives in America and I in Madagascar. The deception when I saw that I couldn't buy it anymore was huge
@@Wilsongaboi this game was available in all of these countries for a couple of months after the launch. And then suddenly Sony closed the access to this game to 100+ countries overnight. It's not a matter of infrastructure or the country's level of development. It's just an ugly business decision.
@edgy_nick Incorrect... it is no infrastructure. But the top 2 main reasons on regional bans are. 1. Countries laws 2. Consumer fraud. The Countries that can't support Playstation find the steam loophole.. so the small Countries who are poor af have steam. People on pc through steam create fake addresses through those countries getting the game way cheaper... Sony is protecting themselves and Arrowhead from fraud..
Honestly Let it go. Real Talk unless you’re a bored teenager idk who ever really cared lol everyone i know irl does not care it’s just internet talk but you do you og
@Wilsongaboi sod off... that's not the problem, the problem is that SONY broke the TOS of Steam and sold a game in some regions with requirements that said regions can't meet. Then refused to fix a problem they generated in the first place.
This is a great video but I'd like to point out one thing you missed. It's still not available for purchase to the countries where PSN is not available. It's only available in selected First Worlds countries.
I can't even buy the game it's not even on steam for me.... My country is non-PSN and after the whole drama it still is unavailable to buy Helldivers 2 and play it. It's honestly ridiculous and i feel like people changed the reviews back to positive way too quickly.
Well it is PS's decision, not devs. Dont hurt the game, when it is the corporate's fault you got stuck like that. In this decisionmaking failure even bad reviews wouldnt change a thing, only make things worse for devs, whom cant do anything. (i know steam controls this, but they can do it at any time, but it is PS's decision to ask them do do so.)
The game is still blocked for a lot of countries so why no mention? They were working perfectly for 3 months and now suddenly they can’t play? That’s so wrong
Nobody that bought the game is blocked.. Everybody that bought the game can still play it, also in all those regions.. All they (Sony) did was not offer it in store (Steam) anymore for new buyers in those regions.. Which from Sony's point of view makes sense because they also do not sell any other Playstation stuff there, and they obviously still want all Playstation games on PC to be linked by account to their own online Playstation Network (PSN).. They screwed up with Helldivers 2 (by allowing it to be sold for 3 months everywhere) which forced them to remove the planned mandatory PSN linkage, because obviously that would block all the people in those non-Playstation regions from playing since they (officially) do not have access to PSN..
@@KanyeSouth-tj4cn yes but these days the numbers are pretty consistent from 40000 to 60000 players if that was considered a dead game then a lot of games would be dead
@@KanyeSouth-tj4cn To be fair, Palworld is in the same boat. It blew up like a tsar bomba on release with over 2 million people playing on release. But months later, even a game as successful as that died down in player count.
You forgot to mention how the music made the game popular. Listening to the HD2 music towards the ending of a mission while fighting off bugs in order to survive the wait time for extraction is peak video game experience
Ik this is unrelated but- I watched this video as the first on from your channel now and when I saw your face all my thoughts shrunk to: "Wow, that's a *big* moustache" 😂😂😂
This game is incredibly cinematic and overdelivered on intense action situations and experiences. It was mega fun on launch. Aaaaand then they started nerfing guns. And increased the spawn patrol rates which were fine the way they were, no one asked for it to be changed. Now it's an overall good game but filled with bugs and frame drops, the devs constantly breaking the game while communicating mostly over discord. I'm not even getting the crashes so many other people are.
So if you participate in the major orders, they just don’t pay you the metals anymore because I just did the major order we completed it and I didn’t get nothing
Even though I've never played the HellDivers series, it's amazing that HellDivers 2 embarrassed the entire triple AAA gaming space. Also, I blame Sony for doing this, and if there any gamers out there that are becoming a indie game developer or be part of a indie/AA game studios, don't work with the Triple AAA game companies (such as Sony/Playstation, Xbox/Microsoft, Activision/Blizzard, EA, and Ubisoft for a example).
This game is dead. Devs letting the game die by just giving you reskinned planets and guns. Oh ya, and people who paid for it still can't play. Helldivers 2 is also 1 incredibly imbalanced pos.
Wait, I don’t play on Steam and I live in an uncommon timezone, but this game has 12 million copies? I only really see 50K on whenever I’m online. Is this the case in the US, or is it higher?
Used to be 100kto200k every day, but the balancing team every fucking week would nerf something, oh you had fun with weapon it’s shit now, 90% percent of weapons suck and completely unusable, it got so bad even the ceo said the game feels like their nerfing the fun and stepped down from being a CEO, to oversee the balancing team. The balance team would increase armor enemies or increase the amount of small enemies and then revert the change after back lash. Basically put the balancing team killed the game, they even have the guy whos notorious for ruining hello neighbor on their balancing team.
@@sirnugfuggets7441 that’s up to you. If you play w/ a team that can handle themselves/team play, you can use any gun you want on any faction. Some might require more work but 90% of the guns being unusable is not true bro
Im guessing they looked at the top complaints against live service games, & did something different. Ive played online games since Ultima online launch, but i lost my love for it. These daily requirements & seasons that end made game play feel like a chore. Something i didn't want to do, but if i do ill have a shiny trinket later on, but cant miss a day because ill lose ground & progress. Helldivers just isnt like that. Its a game that i dont have to play on a scheduled routine so i play it any chance i get. The co op is the entire game. Its the one way that says: if you group up with random newbs we guarantee youll laugh. Watching people get set on fire from jet wash is hilarious, in the game i mean. Its tragic in real life. Long live Helldivers 2.
I had stopped playing cos of the bugs, the wrong kind, the psn thing didnt bother me tbh... But Ive been playing again, this, V rising and ghost of Tsushima...
Sony PSN forces people to register, non-stop nerfs for months(even after the buff patch is already too late), and Woke power-tripping Discord mods and woke Reddit mods.
one thing you missed, is how the game is dying now because of how they nerfed almost every weapon in the game, and have buffed all enemies. the game is literally hell now (not in a good way, but in a bad way)
I heard the game has already been ruined by neckbeard meta chasers who harass players for not playing exactly the way deemed optimal by growling neckbeards online. I never picked up the game because I know how this story plays out, it happens every time. The quest for perfection in play turns to intolerance turns to an unfriendly environment turns to a dead game. Pointless to even bother with it.
It’s only dead cause the players liberated everything. I legit bought it day 1 and now I played it and there’s like almost nothing to liberate. Helldivers did very well
@@KanyeSouth-tj4cnyou can literally say that about any of the recent big games. Elden ring was "dying" when player counts dropped 90% over a period of 6 months. Palworld is dying when it dropped 98% after 6 months. Diablo 4 is dying and it's players are rallying behind good bad it's loot system was. Helldivers 1 lived 5+ years and continues to live with a player count that had a max daily concurrent player count if 6000. Helldivers isn't made with an expensive budget. And because of this even with low player counts they can keep the game going. Finally the game wasn't planned to make a ton of money. It was just a game that was developed to be fun. It wasn't micro managed to drain every single ounce of free time from its players. I hop on when I want and that feeling is not provided with other live services.
You watched his video for free, he has as much of a right to promote something (even more so if it's his) as you have a right to choose what you watch. Plus, are you really complaining about an ad after the end of the video?
as it turned out, the game didn't really go that deep and was so shallow. people are now seeing that the pve game is not really that fun if you keep doing the exact same thing over and over and over.

I hate how I can't buy this game due to sony being raging assholes
I feel bad for you bro
Same is happening to me
I hate that s***, too. especially after PSN is not mandatory anymore. Miss u guys!
wait is the issue caused by steam removing it from the store in those countries or sony not allowing it to be sold there?
You’re not missing out on much trust me. It’s pretty dead. And the game will continue to die
Why didn't you mention that the game is still unavailable in those non-PSN countries?
