I work until 10 monday to wednesday and we've been doing friday and suday for years now.
I could make thursday though.

I picked this up yesterday and played a few games, had a blast spreading managed democracy.

It's a shame this game doesn't have some sort of clan or group feature so we could set up a GR one.

Do you have discord set up? I’m on PC but we can play and chat cross platform with that.

You can also use the in-game chat but the other guys I play with on PC won’t be bothered with that (and rightly so).


(Guide is here, if you’re interested: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/suppo ... oice-chat/)

PS5, so in game chat.

Yeah, that’s the guide link there. Using Discord on your PS5.

It’s really just a matter of hitting the join button in the app on your phone and accepting the notification on your PS5, once you have the account set up and linked to your PSN ID. One of our crew was on PS5 with us the other night and you wouldn’t even have known, it was seamless.

Will have a look.

Maybe next week, or over the weekend.

Mortars are broken. Need…

So many lols and laughter. Been playing it. Salute the ICBMs..

What's this like to play gameplay wise, seen so much positive press but unsure. I watched a video and thought it reminded me a bit of Mercenaries and Warhawk ( ) I'm all in if that's the case

It does feel a bit mercenaries, just cause mixed with destiny for the levelling. Ina. Starship troopers setting. I’ve been playing with a few mates and much Better with comms. The explosions and the dropping of pods is just unreal. I can’t believe it’s not been done like that before. Just absolutely nailed it. Enemies are a hit samey. But I think it will drop to become a 30
Min blast type game.

The insect and robot forces have been stopping us from spreading managed democracy today. (The servers are overloaded)

Oh, well, that's not great.

You can still play with friends, but quickplay matchmaking is broken.

Just says logins at max, can't get anywhere.

I'm going to have get this when I get paid, it just looks like a riot

It looks a helluva of fun!

But, is it vital to have communication to play together?

Some folk are petitioning for the game to be released on Xbox.

The release of Helldivers 2 on Xbox represents an opportunity to redefine the narrative of the console wars. No longer should gaming be defined by allegiances to specific platforms, but rather by a collective love for the medium itself. Through cross-platform play and collaboration, we can create a gaming community that thrives on inclusivity and camaraderie.

...the addition of Helldivers 2 to Xbox has the potential to mark a pivotal moment in the history of gaming—a moment where the divisiveness of the console wars gives way to a newfound spirit of unity and cooperation.

If you fancy signing up, check out change.org. Over 23,000 people have already declared their support!

So:

a) I really strongly suspect that text was written by AI.
b) The last thing the game needs right now is more players

change dot org is not in the spirit of managed democracy

I don't tend to use the mic, and seems that plenty others don't either, you can get by using the ping system well enough.

Given MS and Sonys recent moves to put stuff on other platforms I can guarantee this is only the beginning of the port-begging spree.
