"The Arad-based (Romania) indie games developer Predict Edumedia are today very happy and excited to announce that their turn-based roguelike/dungeon-crawler/RPG "ARHAEKON", is coming to PC via Steam Early Access in Q2 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
PlayStation tweets: "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 learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans."
Now, will gamers take all this fervor and aim it at the likes of EA, Ubisoft, Take2, and others who have way more invasive and problem-causing apps for Steam games?
Thank you! I have a PS account, but bought this on PC. I just hate having to do stupid stuff like this just to get into the game I bought.
Despite No Man Sky's rocky launch, Hello Games managed to turn it into one of the best space exploration RPGs out there.
I hate the whole concept of "comeback story" because at the end of the day it doesn't remove the core issue we had in the first place, that we were lied to, it was disappointing and it launched with bare content to what was promised for years.
Any bad game can have a comeback story if it's supported enough after launch but for me if you launch in a terrible state then you had your chance. I can applaud you for what you've done after but at the end of the day there's not much of a choice since most gamers would blank your next product if you ditched your last game so fast, it's not about repairing the game but spending your time repairing gamers trust before you launch your next product otherwise it would be dead on arrival.
With these stories and the games being updated, the only way is up most of the time so of course it's going to improve the game and feel better over all, getting better and better as time passes. No Mans Sky, Sea of Thieves, Fallout 76 etc but then you have games like Anthem, Suicide Squad, Redfall and The Avengers where the devs just clearly moved on, now if they have another product people won't be as exited for it, I mean hell Guardians of the Galaxy was a great game but because of the Avengers it didn't help its sales since people were obviously still sour at that point.
I still think despite the improvements to games like No Mans Sky and Cyberpunk along with being better now overall the games are still not up there to what was promised and hyped as for years.
If we keep celebrating these “comeback stories” then unfortunately it only strongly supports the concept that these studios / publishers can continue to push half arsed broken products out for the sake of quick sales instead of waiting until they are fully finished. We need to condemn this awful behaviour or sadly we lose all voice and power as consumers.
I really enjoyed it at launch and had every trophy by August 2016.
The experience I had is no longer in the game: It was just me and my ship. It was a survival game and the feeling of loneliness in the universe was pervasive. There was no way to ruin too far from your ship and, in an emergency, you grenaded a hole in the ground to survive.
I miss that aspect, but since then, I love what they've done.
It should be interest how he's going to fix his numbers when true numbers finally hit! It's sad that VGChartz are the only numbers people can go to in order to get a ballpark figure worldwide.
Good thing Sony have been pretty consistant when hiting milestones by giving numbers.
Nice!!! Nice to see the numbers going towards each other, the best thing for gamers is to have it be competitive. Also side note....where did all those articles about TF dying already and not having the staying power of Infamous go? There was a couple weeks there where those articles were popping up left and right. These numbers suggest otherwise. TRUE, to a degree you have to take these numbers with a grain of salt...they aren't gospel or anything, but they may be the best indication of what is going on that we have.
It looks like PS4 has a big lead, but has plateaued for now (but it'd be stupid to think that it'll stay that way for ever, I'm sure Order/Uncharted etc will give another boost). XB1 is slowly crawling it's way up despite not having any new system seller releases....looks like in the future things can get really interesting. Esp when XB1 finally releases in more Eur countries and Japan....TRUE, those aren't exactly MS territory, but every sale will help close the gap a little more. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if sales in those countries we slow to build momentum from maybe a little resentment for having to wait longer. Either way, competition between these two titan companies is best. China is really MS's best hope for countries it hasn't been released in yet (and maybe South Korea, but they are rather small).
This is the third VGChartz report today, Why is it still being used knowing how very unreliable it is?!
VGChartz April 2014 Global:
Week 1: 169,760 to 78,070
Week 2: 140,250 to 91,665
Week 3: 127,884 to 92,460
Week 4:
Week 3 total: 437,894 to 262,195 (1.67:1 ratio)
When Sony announces 8 million PS4s sold to consumers in mid-late May and VGChartz has it at ~7.6 million, people will lose even more confidence in VGChartz predictions. They are undertracking PS4 even further.
Good news for all, I enjoy my Xbox one and PS4, love it!
