@@angel_of_rust because live service can be done right and can benefit a game well, as shown in helldivers, but companies who don’t put in the effort and either give horrible content updates or progression systems make a game that could have been alive for a long time die basically on arrival.

[@otterino1419]

One of the biggest issue I always had with live service game was the fact that basically anything comstic became something you had to pay for. A core part if progression in games became locked behind either ridiculous grind or a paywall. I mean I do like playing games like R6S but damn did they fuck up progression by retroactively jacking up the prices of old in game items, adding a battle pass, locking new ops behind a paywall for extended periods of time, and removing old items from the store where you could buy them for currency you could earn and putting them in bravo packs(loot boxes) which you can only get in the premium tear of the battle pass to pad out the loot pool. Basically completely fucking any progression system the game ever had. Though Helldivers 2 seems to be taking an approach more Akin to older games which I.e. actually having a decent progression system which is nice

One of the most refreshing things about this game was buying an armor set for 5$ instead of 40$+ and have it actually have stats. Cause you can't have a pay to win model if it's entirely PVE co-op! The warbond pass is a battlepass done right. Finally a game studio takes notes from MCC and gives us the option to unlock what we want while also not having useless filler in it. I can see this game going a long way and i'm excited to be along for the ride. Indie games have been showing up AAA time and time again in these recent years and hopefully the big companies actually make an effort to change

[@spacegoose2989]

This game now has 126k negative reviews on steam within the last 48 hours, turning the overall rating into mixed and recent review rating to mostly negative.
