I may get this on PC. If it nails what SW Battlefront 2 did, it may be a banger.

Sounds really good

The humour, coop and accidental deaths could make this a real chance to take.off.with streamers. If Sony have any brains to them they'll have copies out to streamers at launch

Sony has done a piss poor job at promoting this though, it should be all over the shop and it isn't. It wasn't even on steam's main page a few days ago.

Yes that's not surprising
Not even a state of play for it

Still, none of their GAAS will succeed through mass marketing. The keys to success there is purely word of mouth

Absolutely, but games only get to the word of mouth stage if people actually know about them.

Who ever heard of Palworld a month ago

Certainly not the 20 million who bought it

Can't think of many if any major GAAS games that weren't a hit that came out of nowhere

Palworld is an exception, not the rule. A better example would be enshrouded, which people had been talking about non-stop before release, at least in the PC gaming community.

Relax, helldivers 2 is the 7th most wishlisted on steam. The first game built a solid following.

I saw that screenshot, but that's incorrect

This is the top wishlist on steam (that's from my account, but private mode shows the same list):

And this is where Helldivers 2 sits

Banned!

Previews are sounding great, might just go for the 60 yo-yo edition.

Why would I buy it on PS where I have to pay online? If I decide to buy it, I will do so on a platform where I'm not treated as a second class citizen. This way, if I do buy it, Sony makes less money.
