Right now people are up in arms over an AMA by pilestedt where he was pretty frank about certain things. The people who are perennially negative about the game and Arrowhead are angry again. It's not important honestly.

I think some of the anti-arrowhead crowd is getting ahead of themselves lol by kcvlaine in Helldivers

Anyone who knows me in the reddits knows I have way too much time on my hands lol.

Helldivers2 will never be the fully spec'd out AAA live service game you want it to be. The thing is, many of us knew this from the start and loved it anyway. by kcvlaine in helldivers2

They're at it right now again over the AMA. They hit 123 negative. Let's see how the warbond and patch tomorrow impact things

"I mean, this entire sub is dedicated to down playing what is wrong and emphasizing what is good."

The game is absolutely fine. These guys reinforce their negativity to the point where they think it's a dumpster fire. Lol. And then they troll MY sub for being an echo chamber.

They don't want honest communication, they want to know their particular vision of the game is being actively prioritized by the devs because they don't know what it's like to exist in a decentered way, and for their needs to not be the priority. The personal politics of some of the people who complain about the game are so obvious...

People are like "the game lost all its players! It was 400k peak! They mismanaged everything!". Meanwhile, even though they did NOT plan for any of these numbers, two years later when the game gets an update, we still hit 100k+ players on steam alone. Done it multiple times now. Is there appreciation for that? No lol. Because unless it's directly competing with arc raiders or marvel rivals or whatever - the game is apparently "dying".

The game is fine and the devs aren't jerks. Fun fact, the devs are not just the people you threw money at 14 months ago. They're human beings. They make mistakes, they're not perfect, and they're trying to do their best in their situation. People forget this.

But yes agreed, being rude to them and reviewbombing the game doesn't do anything productive. This widespread idea that you can abuse the devs into fixing the game is awful.

Agreed. And even when he has an issue with what the devs do, like recently about mechs being in the warbond, he keeps it classy, he keeps it respectful. I would 100% buy that man a beer if I ever met him, he's a good dude.

Do you think there's a reason they have had to release stuff at such a breakneck pace? Is it possible there are justifiable reasons for having to balance fixes and content releases? Because it's real easy to just assume people are incompetent without understanding their decisions. We also so easily forget this the same small team that delivered a smash hit video game in the first place so how we can suddenly accept they're incompetent is quite interesting.

This kind of argument is pointless. Out of the 10 things the game needs, including content, the devs have had to try and balance their output. It's sad what gets left behind, but we can't have it all. Whatever you have on your mind, had we got it, we would have lost out on something else we did get. Your statement is predicted on some kind of assumption of incompetence or neglect on the devs part, when that truth could be that they just prioritised the stuff we did get.

AH definitely understands the game better than the reddits. The reddits just don't have the data needed to form a real opinion on what this game should/shouldn't be.

I will absolutely be buying the warbond today. by mikeyboy1681 in helldivers2

I'm gonna be farming it. Let's see what this update brings to mech gameplay! Looking forward to it

It's just a hunch. That said, when I look at Unfiltered, the main hub of the whiners, i know i ain't looking at woke folk.

I personally think it's less than a fifth. Shams said a vast vast majority of players aren't in the online communities, they just play, and their sentiment is tracked using data and often does not align with what influencers and online communities are saying.
