Just saw the free market work before my very eyes. I never thought it would actually happen, I 100% expected snoy to double down or just promise to bring their services to other countries. G*mers actually fricking won today.

I'm not even talking like it's innate popularity. Undertale outsold the entire mother series and it's basically a weird version of that series. There's probably a hundred mother/tale clones at this point so obviously people want this type of game. I just don't understand Nintendo. Did the creator of Mother spit in the face of the president of Nintendo 10 years ago or something? Did you know there's a direct made by fans for the making of so many new games???

Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward.

We’re still…

Game to Discuss

This week's game will be Will Wright's Spore, the greatest sim game ever made. !zoomers get the frick in here

carp, capy, geto, donger pin please

I hope Sony fire that community manager

It's legit must be their last minute plan launching their psn game pass thing so they decided to use gaydrivers bi (bi as 2) to boost psn numbers

SNOY DOES IT AGAIN WITHIN A DAY

Sony has now delisted Helldivers 2 from being purchased on Steam in 177 countries. It also seems at least some people in those countries who have already purchased the game, can no longer play it

Super Earth Map (whatever that means) according to SNOY

This is all good and fine but the redditors have drawn the line at

SONY doesn't allow Ukraine players to register PSN account without buying PS4-PS5, basically locking them out of playing Helldivers 2 even if they are in PSN available country

https://old.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1ck9769/sony_doesnt_allow_ukraine_players_to_register_psn/

NOO NOT HECKIN UKRAINERINO!!

Oh I'm doubly fricked. I'm from Lugansk. Ukrainian land that is now part of Russia. Whether you recognise it or not is one thing but I'm fricked as either Russian or Ukrainian.

If one thing that can end the slavshit wars its g*mers uniting over not being to able to play a gayme! 🤝

So let me get this straight. Sony wanted the game to require PSN from the start but due to technical difficulties they allowed a grace period where it was optional. So they released the game on Steam for every Country eventhough they knew that when this period ends many wouldnt be able to play anymore due to PSN not being available in their Country And the funniest part to me here is that they were selling the game to Countries where youre required to own a PS4/5 to make an Account

Imagine buying a game on your PC so you can play it on PC but then you need to buy an entire $150-350 Console so that youre able to continue playing a game you bought months ago

Thank you SNOY

However the real reason has always been ability to BAN !chuds more effectively as evidenced here

this is a apparently who deleted xeir entire twitter

https://old.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cjvw1s/arrowhead_community_manager_misty_admits_that_the/

Apparently all the "Community Managers" were Reddit/Groomercord mods from the previous Helldivers game

Man AH has great devs, but their community managers on the other hand... They should be sent to their Democracy Officer for re-education

Most of their community managers are reddit power mods from the original game.

For those who think this is hyperbole, it isn't. They are literally the reddit mods lol

Yeah Spitz was the Groomercord mod for the original Helldiver Groomercord until he shut it down because he's a power-tripping loser.

Can you elaborare? I played HD1 but never joined the groomercord server. Not even here. Was he/she an butt since the beginning?

Yeah, pretty much. Spitz has always been snarky and had an attitude with people. It's their literal job to interact with the community in a positive way to improve PR, but nope lol. It seems that HR had a Talk with Spitz which will probably only help in the short-term, but hopefully it made a lasting impression on them.

the harassment of s just doesn't end!!

If it was always the plan to block out non-PSN users, why did they even bother translating the game to languages like Russian and Chinese?

https://old.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cjv2c7/if_it_was_always_the_plan_to_block_out_nonpsn/

Furthermore, they sell special keys that can be activated in Russia to Russian distributors, such as Buka. Though it is impossible to buy the game directly in steam

Do More Than Review Bomb; Quit Playing

If you're gonna go out of your way to write a bad review out of principle, at the very least stop playing the game for the time being. These Corpo Heads already took our money and won't care about the reviews when the player count is almost 100k on Steam alone; if you care that much about the change then take a break and maybe dont play as much.

Its wishful thinking but nothing we do will be taken serious if we b-word and moan and still turn around and play the game for hours on end. If you dont feel that strongly about this PSN thing, that's fine; enjoy yourself! Just dont go review bombing a game and still clock in another 4 hours this week, if you cant hold yourself to a principle; dont expect others to. If it means that much to you; Review bombing is not enough; quit playing until they have a work around or issue complete refunds and an apology!

yeah telling gaymers not to gayme the latest gaymeslop

This is what in store for the future of Helldivers 2

https://old.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1ck11n9/for_the_record/

Apparently Steam is refunding even if you played more than 2hrs

STEAM starting to issue refunds for players over the 2h playtime limit due to PSN https://old.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/1ck6ead/steam_starting_to_issue_refunds_for_players_over/

IT IS SO OVER FOR GOT Cels

Some relevant images for the ADD riddled "DIDN'T READ"cels here

It apparently started when SNOY started mandating linking PSN accounts to steam/PC version of the game

/r/PCGaming: Helldivers 2 to require linking Steam account to a Playstation account starting on May 6th. It was previously optional due to technical issues at launch

/r/Games : HELLDIVERS 2 Account Linking Update

The revolution begins

Aftermath:

/r/steam : Helldivers 2 went from one of the most beloved Steam games to one of the most hated pretty quickly

PCGaming :

• Helldivers 2 received over 14,000 negative reviews today due to an update that will require PSN accounts next week.

• Helldivers 2 has now received 84,000 negative reviews in the past day.

Remember to always check IsThereAnyDeal to see what a game's historic low is.

Fanatical also gives you a spin of a wheel for every order over $12 you spend, and a 5% off your entire order coupon for your next order regardless of order size (you get another one for every order you make, so only your first order isn't discounted). The wheel is usually a 10% off coupon, but you can also get store credit and free games. So be smart with these extras to maximize savings. Each game will have multiple prices, this is because I have done the math with the 5%, 10%, and 15% off coupons.

FLASH DEAL (which ends about 10 hours from this post going live) ICEY historic low of $3.07, great buy to get that 5% coupon imo.

The Messenger $4.99, $4.75, $4.50, $4.25. All time low of $3.99 on Stream from March 14th 2024 to March 21st 2024, wait.

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion $2.99, $2.84, $2.69, $2.54. Was free on Epic Games Store and all time low of $1.49 on IndieGala, wait.

Monster Sanctuary Deluxe historic low of $6.59, $6.26, $5.93, $5.60. This version has the soundtrack and art book, which are weirdly expensive normally ($9.49 and $4.99 respectively). This is actually a compelling buy if you only buy games with all the goodies.

Broforce $3.74, $3.55, $3.36, $3.18. It's on sale on Humble Store and GOG right now for $2.99 which is the all time low. Buy on Humble Store or GOG, not Fanatical.

Katamari Damacy REROLL for $6.44-$5.47. It's on sale on GameBillet right now for $4.97 which is the 2nd lowest price of all time (all time low was $4.18 on GameBillet in 2020 and seems to have been a flash deal). Buy on GameBillet.

PAYDAY 3 for $31.19. Lol

OKAMI HD $8.39, $7.97, $7.55, $7.13. All time low of $7.38 on GameBillet (however it seems like another flash deal) and is often ~$8 there. Buy if you have a 5% coupon or better, wait to buy during a sale on GameBillet if you don't.

SteamWorld Dig 2 $2.99, $2.84, $2.69, $2.54. All time low, also $2.99 on Steam if you want to be able to use the refund system. Buy on Fanatical or Steam, depending on if you have a coupon or want to use Steam's refund system.

Nova Lands $10.99-$9.34. This is an all time low, even with no coupon. However the Deluxe Edition is not on sale on Fanatical. Steam does have the Deluxe Edition for an all time low of $17.53. If you want the base game, buy on Fanatical. If you want the Deluxe Edition, buy on Steam.

Graveyard Keeper $4.99-$4.24. All time low of $3.04 on GameBillet in April 2024. Wait for sale on GameBillet.

Project Highrise $2.79, $2.65, $2.51, $2.37. All time low of $0.99 on Fanatical in 2021. Often goes on sale for less in bundles. Wait for better discount on Fanatical.

I'll add more games to this list tomorrow when the new Star Deals drop, going to bed lol.

Not content with forcing their values on games, Sony has once again shown off their prude side with the PS4 English release of the Tsukihime remake, censoring two images that come in the Limited Edition extra artbook showing off design drafts.

Two of the images in the artbook will be altered according to Aniplex, while the Nintendo Switch version will remain uncensored, showing off just how fragile Sony is. The game itself has no changes made to either version, which raises questions as to what is being censored.

Some people have speculated that it is an image of Ciel mostly naked, while others brought up two images that show off panties on a petite girl, which surely would raise alarm bells with those who can't differentiate reality from fiction:

Like neighbors I had no idea this game exist or what it is

So I googled:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukihime

So it's some obscure porn franchises from 2000

This image will get censored

I mean why would you buy porn game on ps if you can pirate on p… I mean buy on steam than install uncensored patch.

It's quite interesting that the good plot japanese games have porn in it

There were no memes about this. I never once encountered someone discussing the skin color or intellect of Erudites they were simply another race to pick from especially if you wanted to cap your INT stat.

This was 1999 and for the next decade remained immune to whatever racial dialogue was going on outside the world of gaming. We were just nerds having fun in the best MMORPG ever created.

The claims⁠, which were mainly shared on X (formerly Twitter) but also popped up across Reddit and Facebook, range from Vanguard preventing startup programs from firing correctly to other programs crashing when the anti-cheat software loads, and some have even suggested Riot's kernel program has been “tampering with unrelated files.” Others simply dubbed it “malware” and declared they would be quitting League until the program stopped breaking PCs.

One high-profile example came from famed League creator LS, who reported both his computers breaking after Vanguard was installed on May 1. He said he fixed one by taking out the CMOS battery and forcing BIOS access, but suggested his other computer is “still bricked.”

:

Several user posts on the purported Vanguard issues have also been shared to the main League subreddit but they have since been deleted.

While Riot has yet to address any of the early backlash directly, tech staff have been active in the “Patch 14.9 Bug Megathread” on /r/LeagueOfLegends. One Riot reply suggested some of today's alleged issues “wouldn't be related to Vanguard” and offered up a simpler solution⁠—restart impacted devices and run PC troubleshooting.

The same Riot staffer also suggested any aggrieved players could upload Riot Vanguard logs to the League support page to help “isolate what the issue is.” All the Reddit comments from that Rioter have since been removed.
