Helldivers 2 is a phenomenally good game. You should definitely check it out if you get the chance. Looks like the devs have the server capacity issue pretty much sewn up now so it's a good time to jump in.
From the podcast that you apparently watched:
"These are titles which have been available to Xbox players for at least a year"
I'm guessing he means they are currently in development for the other systems (PS and Switch) and are already available on Xbox. Think he mentions the games are already a year old at least?
It's a single player game that can take up to 40 hours to complete, of course its player base would drop off after 6 months.
@ DigitallyAfflicted
Of course buddy, everything's a conspiracy 🙄
This is about Internet traffic, not sales of the actual game. Yeah it probably sold very well but isn't it the case that anyone who had MW2 was forced to download MW3 in order to play MW2 for some reason? So you've got the people who actually bought it as well as anyone trying to play MW2 contributing to the Internet traffic they're talking about. Misleading story.
Ingenious. Whatever will they come up with next?
@FlavorLav01
Helldivers 2, forgot about that, looks tasty.
@Lightning77
"it's the same IP and game over and over"
Maybe try reading some of the reviews. They all say it changes things up and offers inventive innovations in pretty much every level.
@-Foxtrot
"there's some giving it 10/10 its insane."
Yes, but the user scores on Metacritic, Steam etc of 0/10 are perfectly reasonable 👍
@darthv72
Not gonna lie, I hadn't even heard of this game until I saw this article.
@ -Foxtrot
Show us your top 100 so buddy, as that's obviously the only one that counts.
@GamerRN
"And you also have to use it at home. So it's useless anywhere else."
It's actually amazing that people are still spreading this bull. On the day it was announced it was detailed that both devices didn't need to be on the same network, so I could be on a lunch break at work and use mobile hotspot to play if I wanted.
@Profchaos
Why would he only play it in his house when both devices don't need to be on the same network??
OK, for the people downvoting, can you at least explain why you are quite happy for the Switch 2 to have similar visuals to a console released 4 years before the original Switch, which is itself a 6 year old console?
@ purple101
He obviously meant the practice was around before what has just happened with MS, Bethesda and Starfield. He didn't word it well but...still not sure how you could possibly think he meant Metacritic number massaging was going on since before 1986??
Thought I had read somewhere that it might be close to Xbox Series X and PS5 in terms of visuals. That it had been shown running that Matrix Unreal 5 demo. If it's closer to Xbox One and PS4 then that's extremely disappointing already.

"Except that's not because of PlayStation at all."
Narrator: it 100% is, actually. Literally no doubt about it, whatsoever.
@ Good-Smurf
Yes, because you can really trust aggregate scores that are open to the public and literally anyone can come along and give it a zero and a sterling review, like this one for example:
"This is another "game pass"quality game.
I realy want it to shine,but STAREFILD is not a good game at all. Simple is that!"
Christ.
Madness. I just recently finished the remaster of part two for the first time. The story was heavy and I loved it.
