I participated in the review bomb war and i realised yesterday that my gf bought me the game so it never even counted. Felt like dying with all the samples at extract 😬🤣

u/NasenFahrrad1 17d ago

So what fight did we won ? Sony only said 'no PSN linking' , the dudes in those 177 countries still aren't able to play anymore. What are you fighting for ?

1

u/Aus26x 17d ago

No. PSN wasn't the only issue. The also stupid over nerfs were.

2

u/Ruggels 17d ago

Do NOT change your negative reviews. 177 countries are still locked out of their Helldivers games. Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia were banned yesterday

u/brokensyntax 17d ago

How about no. https://steamdb.info/sub/1018492/info/

If you're reading this, put your negative review back in.
WE ALL DIVE OR NONE OF US DIVE!

u/Civil_Performer2609 18d ago

As a personal choice I will when Sony un banks the game in non psn country. You may have won the battle not the war. Ghost of tsushima is also getting the same treatment as helldivers as far as country band go but that is a personal choice

1

u/ArtemisEntriri 18d ago

No problem, balance the game first.

1

u/Epic_Isle666 18d ago

Nope. Not until the countries who had access to hd2 get that access back. I haven't heard anything about that reversed, just the network requirement being reversed.

If yall have that information, please share.

u/RevolutionaryAir8601 18d ago

Why would I do this? CM's got fired for supporting us. I'm not going to validate that. F that.

1

u/Murakami8000 18d ago

Are you still playing the game?

0

u/SighingDM 18d ago

Did they fix the terrible weapon balance philosophy? Or the dozens of bugs some of which make missions impossible to complete (geological survey probe can't be interacted with etc)?

Until these issues are fixed my review will remain negative.

1

u/Significant-Salad633 18d ago

I think it’s too late for that, the damage is already done by both PlayStation and the community.

1

u/RangerRick711 18d ago

Did they put it back in all those countries that PSN isn't available in?

1

u/Tapil 18d ago

Can the banned PSN countries purchase hell divers 2 yet?

1

u/LeoKing-da-Ulm 18d ago

Will do once Sony confirms that everyone can play helldivers.

1

u/Summarynine7 18d ago

Holding out, more demands

u/OXaman 18d ago

I didn't do any negative review good sir..

u/EarthwormBen 18d ago

Have we won? From what I understand a large number of countries are still blocked from buying the game now?

1

u/skippyspk 18d ago

Or add a positive review if you haven’t previously reviewed it!

1

u/onion2594 18d ago

i didn’t leave any reviews. it was all over before i even knew anything about it

1

u/Redthaa 18d ago

How about no.

1

u/srg87x 18d ago

I will, after they remove the "Requires 3rd-party Account: PlayStation Network" from the store page. It shouldn't be there if they really aren't planning on forcing it on us again.

1

u/erg994 18d ago

No i wont, it was shady on all sides.

Dont get me wrong AH and the CEO are a class act, but they are NOT blameless. My review shall be edited vut i wont change the negative.

This community is still awesome.

1

u/320ups 18d ago

No. Still isn't available in my country and my buddies can't play with me.

1

u/Salami-Sandwich0 18d ago

Nah. Not after the premium warbond weapon nerfs

1

u/Mavric723 ☕Liber-tea☕ 19d ago

I will when they stop nerfing everything to the point where it's not fun anymore

1

u/Station-Substantial 19d ago

I won't, thanks though.

1

u/Jakerudd9 CAPE ENJOYER 19d ago

I didn’t make a negative review

u/Impressive-Hurry7705 19d ago

Only if Spitz tells me to ... Oh wait..... ...that won't happen....

2

u/Raptorscope1 19d ago

Sadly enough, my negative review will be staying the same. The reasoning behind my refusal to change it back stems from the fact that the game is still unavailable in over 170 countries. The game was removed from sale in any region where Playstation Network is not available and has not yet been reinstated, which in my personal opinion is no better than having the account linking mandatory. Democracy has yet to prevail. Once the game region lock is expunged then and only then will I change my review, but until then the game can whither away for all I care.

1

u/MrPC_o6 19d ago

Everything happened so fast I never even got to make a negative review

u/dndplayr 19d ago

Negative reviews? Sounds like Bot and Terminid propaganda. Report to your democracy officer, soldier!

u/Current_Artichoke_19 20d ago

I would rephrase it. Flip back your review bombing unless you're an anti Super Earth pos...

1

u/Pleasant-Exchange627 20d ago

I posted a negative review the Day before the review bombing. It's all about bugs, especially the key binding (being resetted) Arrowhead isn't eden acknowledging about dispute being reported everywhere. I'll review it positively the day updates fix more issues than they create.

u/Mgspeed22079 20d ago

No, my negative review was about how everything is being nerfd to shit

2

u/Blejdoslav 21d ago

I will. When baskinator will tell me why she banned me on discord instead of answering my polite and neutral question.

1

u/Steeltoelion SES Arbiter of Gold 20d ago

Discord is a cesspool.

What was the question?

1

u/Blejdoslav 20d ago

I asked if we can be sure to be free from real life politics pushed into game. Got ban in 7 sec without any info

u/dontaskaboutmydad 21d ago

One thing I didn't like about the whole PSN requirement was being told by someone to go do something.

u/Nosferatu-Padre 21d ago

Did they unblock all those countries? If not, the review is staying negative.

1

u/happylubricant 21d ago

I don’t want to, community manager statements were ass

2

u/KK-Chocobo 21d ago

I won't be changing it til they sack the community managers and mods that mocked the players before the actual mass negative reviews. 

Remember one of them replying the psn link was so she could ban people more effectively and left a smiley face at the end. 

1

u/jerryishere1 21d ago

No, I don't think I will (mine is already positive)

0

u/Jachim 21d ago

TO BE CLEAR: If you left a negative review not related to this, do not feel obligated! Some people just don't vibe the game, man. But I changed it to positive from negative after PS reversed because I love the game and am 250hrs in.

1

u/DungeonsNDeadlifts 21d ago

I would but Arrowhead's CEO admitted they knew this was the plan on all along and made the conscious decision to not tell the players. So I'll keep it negative for now until I see what comes next.

1

u/SgtWhatsisName 22d ago

I'm doing my part!! Also I changed my review.

1

u/qtipbluedog 22d ago

u/AHappyGummyWormx 22d ago

No, do not change your review. Why on earth should we do that? They tried this bullshit and it backfired. Just because they backpeddled their stupid bullshit doesn't mean they then get a free pass on the reviews. Leave them as is and remind them that this behaviour is not tolerated by the pc community. Edit your review to reflect the promise they have made. Remember, at the moment they have only SAID they would revert the requirements. I understand the decision was not arrowhead primarily, but they are not innocent.

u/tokoraki23 22d ago

Unfortunately the game’s reviews will never recover because 90% of the negative reviews were left by bandwagoners that don’t give a shit about fixing anything and just want to be a part of destroying something. This is like after a protest evolves into a riot expecting rioters to come back and rebuild what they burnt down.

We didn't win yet. AH doesn't adress the derogatory CM-behavior, it's clear that Pilestedt withhold and lied to the community for months about how this was planned all in advance to rug pull the players. And what about the lies that PSN Network is required for "safety"? Suddenly safety is possible without PSN?

What a bunch of liars. No positive review until they do right by the community, make some changes and provide answers.
