@Lup you posted this exact same comment over on pure xbox. It's okay to enjoy games they all offer you know.

From the company that brought you surprise mechanics.

Will be interesting to see how many of those that whined - not the people legitimately affected due to location, the band wagon babies that wouldnt create an account - now acknowledge this was resolved in a weekend. A single weekend. Compare that to other games that take weeks, months and in some instances, legal actions.

I imagine all those reviews will be reveresed...

@EYEBALL my man

It's bank holiday weekend folks. Get yourself to the pub and this will all blow over.

@BacklogBrad completely agree its unnecessary. It's the world we live in though. Hell, we all gave info to login and post comments here. I just don't get what the specific issue is here.

For the record, I do agree its grim for folks who can't make psn's due to the country they're in. There may be workarounds but they shouldn't be needed.

The flip side to this is Sony doesnt sell the game in those countries, Steam chose to. Yet there seems to be no uproar towards Steam. Which highlights the mess that is 3rd party logins.

@BacklogBrad how? By requiring what every other company does? A log in to an account.

@Kelrics90 preyed upon?? In what way? And you seem to be blaming Sony for all this. Can i ask why?

The funny part of all this is all these folks ranting and complaining are doing so on places that they had to register for, using the exact same info they are so precious about sharing.

Cannot make this nonsense up sometimes.

@olwakachangchang The lock out is grim, although I imagine those folks should get angry at Steam for selling it rather than the publisher for funding it.

If this plays like sackboy did then I will likely grab it as me and my kid had hours of fun with that.

@CutchuSlow Paramount+

@VaultGuy415 I own the PS collection version and still managed to pick it up in the sale for £3 and change. Purely because I'd seen on here (I think) that it might not be eligible for the free upgrade if you had it through the collection.

I do enjoy a 40fps mode although I would like to think this would run at 60 on ultra settings.

My father in law is staying with us so game time will be slim pickings this weekend. When I can though I will be diving between Helldivers 2 and Dave the Diver.

@lets_do-this_1999 I was just going to post the same thing about construction simulator. Hopefully gets sorted soon.

While I will still be around for this (I hope anyway), I'm riding that wave of mid 40's life crisis were I realise at some point I will get excited for a release and be dead before it arrives.

Happy Friday folks 😂

@ShogunRok ahhh, thanks man, appreciated. I will get onto it.

I still need to play this through. It's sat there installed, I just need to get going on it. The constant fixes made me hold off but it feels like it's pretty good to go. I just need to get off Helldivers...

I enjoyed SM2. Different kind of game to HD2, which I love just as much.

Not sure why someone felt to raise 'ugly white folk' as an issue. They all just looked like, well, normal folks to me 🤷‍♂️

This will inevitably land on Plus/Gamepass sooner rather than later.

@Northern_munkey I had a food run without it happening last night. Yesterday afternoon I had two on the bounce after putting in a good half hour on the missions. As you say, they do seem to be on top of this stuff though so that is a blessing.

@Northern_munkey same. It's driving me nuts

This was the most recent HD2 article on here so apologies for being slightly off topic, is anyone else experiencing a lot of crashes in the game at the minute? Either during or just after finishing a mission?

As long as it holds steady and is well paced, I really don't care what the frame rate is. I mean, if there's an option for 60 I will likely play that depending on the game. Although I'm more than happy to pick quality mode in other games. I have been enjoying the 40 fps option in games that have it.

As an aside, I have an OLED and all this 30fps is unplayable on OLED just baffles me. Literally see zero issues with it. Opinions though, we all got one.

@UltimateOtaku91 You can play with just a crew of pals on a private server if that helps? Me and my kids play it together and it's good fun without constantly getting plundered by some 300 foot death boat. Although awards are reduced and some stuff is capped, if you are just there for the fun of it, it's the way to go.

Between Helldivers and this, it's nice to have some games that are simply just good fun to play recently.

You also get Paramount+ include in some Sky subscriptions

I’m fine with what I have but I also know I will still likely get one

Dont even need to read this to know Sammy will be a happy boy!

@ChrisDeku I will keep an eye on them. Dont get me wrong, the game plays fine, just wasnt sure if there was something going on with mine. Appreciate the response pal.

Does anyone else have an issue where you cant see the number of players, deaths etc... next to the planet on the map screen? Ive also noticed that planet liberation stats dont move for me or sometimes literaly just show 0000000%.

Love the game but wasnt sure if this was just me or a general issue.

Ive already managed to collect enough super credits for two more premium warbonds so im looking forward to dishing up some fresh liberty with these.

Im waiting for the game that lets me charge the NPC's.

Fancy upgrading your armour but low on funds?

Not a problem.

Well hello there blacksmith. What can i get for 30 coins and an awkward cut scene?

I really enjoyed this first time round but, without spoiling anything, there is a story beat that i think folks wouldnt feel as hard in the new version if played that way.

Trying to be cryptic and possibly failing 😂

@Kidfunkadelic83 you definitely can. First thing i did when i got the game as i knew folks like this would inevitably rock up at some point.

Good lord throw some commas in that headline, its to early for my brain to function at that level 😂

@TheCollector316 thanks for finding it, i tried but gave up after scrolling through the 300 bikini85773738 bots that suddenly became my friends

@Jaz007 The CEO of Arrowhead tweeted it out

@NinjaNicky Ive had a few do that and eventually one guy with a mic told me it was so i could get the pick ups dotted around the level.

Well, there goes my evenings.

@Gamer83 Helldivers is eating my time at the mo (its far more fun than i anticipated) but Yakuza 8 is definitely on my list next. Hearing a lot of good things about it.

@Gamer83 no, it has not and its easy to get swept up in the doom and gloom of it all. But we got some good games to get stuck into and thats the best way to shift the mood.

Jesus, according to some folks in here and over on pure xbox all consoles will be dead by the end of the year.

Cheer up, enjoy your games, it will all be just fine.

@UltimateOtaku91 I agree with this. Gamepass, while undeniable value, has become an anchor around big phils neck. It hasnt hit the subscriber numbers they wanted and cannot remain sustainable as it is today.

The catch with this is that there is no real way out of the place they find themselves. If they put a selection of games multiplatform (i do think it will likely be the recent sruff they acquired and not core franchise), they get grief and lose the faith of their community.

The flip side is they come out and say its not sustainable, so price is rising and certain games wont be day one on GP. They lose the faith of some and they likely wont buy the games anyway as they will wait to hit GP.

Then if they pull GP altogether, they lose the faith of gamers and lose out again.

I really dont see a way out of the corner they have backed themselves that doesnt annoy their fanbase.

@BacklogBrad not sure why you have your pants in a twist about a multi billion dollar company if im honest. I also wouldnt describe ABK as struggling.

@BacklogBrad they arent ignoring them. Its just that all those other companies werent part of a massive merger in which it was clearly stated this wouldn't happen in a court of law.

The fact they said it happened due to 'overlap' basically confirms its because of the merger.

I really fancy this as i enjoyed the first one. Problem is convincing the pals i play with to get it as im not really a fan of playing with random folks.

@SgtTruth like I said in the first place, it aint for me (remember that?). I said you cant say the graphics look a step down on last gen. Nothing more.

As digital foundry say, 'technical marvel' in that department.

As for the actual gameplay, zero interest for me.

Id have loved for this to get psvr2 support. There are some wonderful things that people made in this that would have been amazing on it.
