Helldivers 2 community manager says internal discussions are ongoing regarding mandatory PSN account link - lemm.ee

I’ve had my eye on Helldiver’s 2, but I’m not creating a PSN account.

I know my $40.00 is pretty important to them, so I thought I would mention it here.

Was thinking I’d binge this game this winter. Definitely not now lol
You can’t “binge” a live service game where the plot changes in real time.

The plot changes?

In any event, I can definitely binge something even if the plot changes. The core gameplay likely will remain the same.

Yes, you still shoot bugs and robots.

But the planets that are available- and by extension the missions - change all the time. You can’t just mainline the game for 150 hours in a week and experience all of it.

Most of the people complaining about the lack of variance in gameplay are the ones playing 12 hours a day constantly.

This is a hot take. Playing on a hot planet against bots and defending a cold planet against bugs isn’t an engaging live story.
Enabling TCS on planets and having to disable them on a destroyed version of the map a month later because the TCS was actually mutating the bugs to become more powerful?
We must be playing two different games. I shoot some bugs, play some DDR, and hop on an airplane.
