Helldivers 2 Review and |OT| "Fight for freedom, fight for Democracy"

Not really. I've enjoyed it with our friends here and even had a blast with randos. Most of them don't use mics so they kinda appreciate when you talk to them. Played with one girl and we managed a challenging mission with only 2 people. She's good and did all the heavy lifting. Must be a Destiny veteran.

Yeah sometimes they kinda give me the lead because I use a headset and most randoms don't use mics. Just don't be pushy and go with the flow.
They use Amazon for Playstation backend but I think corporate use Microsoft and Helldivers also use Azure (and Afeela too)
Oh I wasn't aware, thanks! Google is the one Sony should have partnered with for their GaaS servers. Stadia tech remains a step above all for gaming. But oh well.
Well, most of these bugs are scalability issues that only happen when there are a really huge amount of real players. In intertal testings or limited betas normally these issues don't appear or aren't visible.
But yes, betas always help for online MP games, because at least some of these plus other ones also may happen there.
That's why a public stress test beta would have helped? Or PS+ exclusive stress test. They weren't expecting such a huge launch which is understandable, I don't think anyone saw this coming but even so I just hope going forward Sony realizes the importance of large scale server tests. Naughty Dog is the only PS studio who has always done this when they made multiplayer games
On all these servers Sony's disk management and imaging sensors are used as well. They all depend on each other but Sony seems to be leading in the cutting-edge cloud AI tech that is integrated into their sensors.
100% is so much fun with people

I question the long term appeal of the launch game but the point of keeping it going is to change the war over time. You kinda get a good snapshot of the game in a single match more or less. Plus who knows what the next few weeks have in store either. War lines will move… things should change.
It’s all dynamic and what you make of it as players. And people love those kinds of games, kinda where the appeal of BRs are; thru random, emergent gameplay and chaos.
I’ll treat this how I would a pvp game or an arcade style coin op . Just a match or two here and there and I don’t really see much of a limit on what they can do here.
And all things considered launch weekend wasn’t too rough at all. Some things broken but game still playable… I’ve seen worse so I’m happy that I even got to play.

This isn't rocket science, all they have to do is what Fortnite does. Every few months do an event, add worlds and different battles. The vision is clear with this one.
On paper these games plan themselves sorta. We can all imagine the score. Player needs can change everything.
I imagine their roadmap for the year is modest considering team size and they’ve already said good things to hear, like working on current issues first before focusing conversations onto future content.
I don’t think it’ll necessarily do what other games do nor would I want them too. Seasonal events and stuff sure but it’s also going to need legit content and gameplay innovations.
I’m looking forward to it. New monsters. New modes. Evolving tech for terrain, weather and destruction and deformation. And that’s if it’s the same game a year from now. That’s why it’s exciting to see players happy and devs making money
