thats a lot better price than i thought it was going to be.

 

[Snake29]

Can't wait for this!!

 

[nongkris]

The gameplay actually looks fun, sadly I don't have any friends to play this with. I wonder if they allow ai squadmates for solo

 

[Papacheeks]

WHAT!!!

$40?

Thats a instant double dip buy from me. I hope my save/progression goes across both versions. Who is going to group up for this game? Im pumped, this game gives off Starship troopers vibe and I want that in my life.

Who's coming with me........

 

[Danja]

Finally dynamic pricing returns. I hope this game will be a success

 

[Yurinka]

That price made sense for the previous game, but for this one feels a cheap price since it's more AAAish.

Are you serious? It's a GaaS game. Anything over $50 and it's DOA.

And it still might be DOA

Surprised Sony didn't try to scam console gamers with the $10 tax

Nah, you'll just pay a permanent maintenance fee of 80 quid a year to be able to play it.

dont forget to add the tv price

 

[Darth Vader]

dont forget to add the tv price

Fact: On PS5, you need to pay for PSPlus to play online, on PC you don't. Both require monitors.

That's it

 

[Kokoloko]

What a surprise. Im guessing they are not that confident in it?

Or they are being smart and realising if its cheaper, it equals more sales. And thats what online games need to survive

So according to you games like CoD, Destiny, Rainbow Six Siege, Gran Turismo 7, MLB or FIFA were DOA too?

So according to you Helldivers is a well established legacy Franchise with a built in devoted audience?

 

[Zeno]

$39,99 is a price point where I would actually get it even though the release date is not ideal

 

[anonpuffs]

oh good, i'mma buy it now

The first one, a AA top down coop shooter got a 81/83 in Meta Critic and 82 in Open Critic (better than Starfield), and their sales were good enough for not only having both Sony and Arrowhead wanting a sequel, but to grow the studio to go AAA with the sequel and spend around 7 years developing it.

 

[FatKaz]

Looks good.

But coop aspect kills it for me due to my family and friends having bareley any interest in video games.

If they can make it viable for lone players i might pick it up.

The first one, a AA top down coop shooter got a 81MC on PS4 and 83 in PC (better than Starfield), and their sales were good enough to want both Sony and Arrowhead a sequel, but to grow the studio to go AAA with the sequel and spend around 7 years developing it.

It's still silly to compare to those established AAA franchises .

It's basically a brand new IP all over again.
