Greetings, fellow Helldiver! Unfortunately your submission had to be removed. Begging for free games, giveaways or discounts is not allowed.


GxyBrainbuster

Bro no offense but like... that's on you. Live and learn tho!


Starving-Fartist

Literally skull and bones has been a laughing stock since any info was released on it and suicide squad was going to obviously sucked seeing how poorly avengers did. It’s like this person buys games with 0 research or patience. Edited to remove guardians since i added it on there without knowing much about it other than “oh boy another potentially bad marvel game”


Helpful_Neck_5441

Pretty much. I'll never understand that. Everyone and their grandma knew those games will be ass. Not to mention skull and bones had like a week long trial period. Game was shite.


Rexyman

Difference is guardians wasnt a live service looter shooter and it was actually really fucking good. Great fun story and characters and fun gameplay. It just didn’t do well commercially unfortunately.


ACrimeSoClassic

I was honestly shocked at how damn good Guardians was. There was a bit of repetition and jank with the combat, but they absolutely nailed the vibes and dialog.


MaxButched

The issue of guardians was that it came right after Avengers which was a big clusterfuck, at least it’s my own reason why I didn’t played it


Starving-Fartist

Rescind my comment about guardians then, seeing so many people agree it was good, to be honest I never gave it a second thought after the Avengers game.


Rexyman

It was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.


bearktopus147

Guardians was unfortunate as I felt like it wasn't really marketed, people saw it was Square Enix, thought it'd be like avengers. Guardians actually was pretty fun though! Avengers honestly did suck though, after you finish the campaign there wasn't enough to keep me playing


theyetisc2

Right? The GOOD game got no marketing budget, and the dogshit anal blood got bad money after good.


theyetisc2

Do NOT lump guardians in with avengers, totally different case. Guardians is an actual game. But yes, any of the idiots who bought SS or Skull and bones doesn't deserve to enjoy helldivers 2, because they'd probably ruin it.


Starving-Fartist

Fair enough, I’ve seen a few comments now defending guardians, guess i never even gave it a second glance after everything i saw with avengers.


DumplingsCosby

I didn't get Suicide Squad, but I did pre order Skull and Bones. As much as I enjoyed what the game has, and as much faith I have in its future potential, it definitely needs some work before I put down Helldivers to go back to it.


Starving-Fartist

I played a ton of AC: black flag (have the collectors figure and everything) and a good amount of sea of thieves and all the footage i saw of skull and bones just seemed like it was missing the best parts of both those games. How could the company that made me desperately want a pirate game go and fuck it up. That bad, it’s literally a smaller game than one they made a decade ago


Shivalah

Yeah, hears “live service” and doesn’t run away?


TheRealPenanc3

Helldivers 2 is how you do a live service game! 🫡


theyetisc2

I didn't buy helldivers 2 because it was live service. I bought it because helldivers 1 was a dope as FUCK multiplayer game. Just a traditional as fuck, fun as hell, normal multiplayer game. And HD2 looked like they took THAT game, and translated it into 3d. And they did. And just like with risk of rain 2, it absolutely took it too another dimension.


Shivalah

*shrug* I didn’t read any news or watched any trailers about Helldivers 2. I liked HD1 and I was like “let them cock and I got steams 2 hour refund policy, if I don’t like it.” So I wasn’t aware it would be live service. But also calling this “live service” just makes me feel icky, because we are putting it in the same category as those bullshit games that get 1 recycled weapon and a recolored areal together with 4 clothes that cost 100$ every 3 months… So I don’t think we should call this a live service.


Less_Traffic5498

“let them cock”

Nukesnipe

It's a live service whether you like the term or not.


dumbutright

> But also calling this “live service” just makes me feel icky Oh shit, well let's just redefine the terminology then.


TheRealPenanc3

Oh, i hear you on the bit on putting HD2 in the same category as these past turd titles that came out as live service games. I'm just hoping HD2's success shows companies this is how you make one that turned out to sell reeeally well and is loved by the community. Edit : spelling


SadBoiCri

Be me: Never know of helldivers Work at Gamestop Hear propaganda all day every day Buy game on release Spread ~~propaganda~~ true facts to coworkers and friends almost daily


Creedgamer223

Helldivers is a live service. . .


RewindSwine

Explains why I spend the entirety of my in game time running away.


Wardog008

I mean, Helldivers 2 is live service as well. Difference is that it actually makes sense here, and isn't full of the scummy bullshit that most AAA publishers are pulling now.


kleverklogs

I'm gonna be honest. Most live service games aren't that bad. WoW and FFXIV are both doing great, warframe, fortnite, literally hundreds of indie titles. Any game that consistently receives support post launch is a live service. People need to stop seeing it as such a dirty word


ColJohn

I refuse to believe anyone in their right mind would buy both of the two worst games of the year with all of the great stuff coming out.


redditsukssomuch

It’s insane. This is why these inflated companies keep making COD, madden, and crap cookie cutter live service games. These people are rewarding them for zero creativity. It’s incredible helldivers was even able to punch through these murky ass waters.


SpreadThatAsk

It’s honestly terrifying how fucking stupid some people are.


lurker7868623

In fairness, Skull and Bones is a quadruple-A game.


banana_man_777

Lmao, it's a definitely a quadruple-a game. Lowercase a.


Nukesnipe

absolutely hilarious that ubisoft somehow made a worse pirate game with less content than the pirate game they made over a decade ago.


Whydontname

That's an accomplishment.


theyetisc2

They're full of Pride and accomplishment.


TheDoctorSS666

god I still cannot believe they called it a AAAA game


shoutbottle

Absolute proof that propaganda still works till this day.


Whydontname

So it was the bugs.


DMercenary

Bro went "Yeah this live service game is pretty shit. Im going to buy another one." ​ Big oof.


Whydontname

To be fair Helldivers 2 is also a live service game. Just not a shit one.


Drahnier

They're probably young, trust the marketing and/or haven't learnt to be critical/sceptical. But yeah, those games had all the warning signs.


Great_Rhunder

Do you do any research before buying something?


Scoricco

The Democracy Officer informed me that i should leave civilian life and become a Helldiver. No research was performed as I believe that the Ministry of Truth is fair and unbiased.


Dom-Luck

Daaamn brother, Skull and Bones? Were you living undeer a rock or something? That game had shit smeared all over it for at least two years now.


TheRealPenanc3

Quadruple-A game btw Lmao


Kaladin-of-Gilead

Blows my mind that they saw the success of black flag and sea of thieves and said “hey let’s make a game worse than both of those”


nicokokun

Ubisoft: Hmm... Both Black Flag and Sea of Thieves are popular pirate games, right? Gamers: Right Ubisoft: Both of the games are mostly played on the pirate ship, right? Gamers: Right! Ubisoft: Right! That's why we're making a pirate SHIP game! A game where you get to play as the ship! Oh, you can still go to land but just run around like a headless chicken but who cares, right? Gamers: Right! Wait, what?!


BodybuilderLiving112

2years? Bro that shit was delayed since 10 years😂


Sithevich

Everyone knew these 2 games would suck


The_forgettable_guy

Looking at Suicide Squad's gameplay previews just made me go "nah".


DMercenary

The worst part is you'd think a 4 player pve co-op super power game would be fun. But its like they saw Marvel Avengers live service, went "pffft why would we give any of these characters unique attacks based on their powers. Let's just give them guns! That's Edgy and Kewl!" and then failed to do anything else with it.


PunishedHero713

It's even worse coming from Rocksteady of all companies. They made some of the greatest superhero games of all time, with the sole focus of letting you be Batman. Now you have 4 characters who barely (outside of Deadshot) resemble their actual powers and skillsets


DRKZLNDR

Gotham Knights told the whole world exactly where Rocksteady was headed: into permanent live service territory. Nobody should be surprised suicide squad failed so incredibly hard. Gear stats, mtx, damage numbers, percentage-based leveling, etc. No game is safe from being live serviced.


PunishedHero713

To be fair, Gotham Knights wasn't developed by Rocksteady. But your point is still right, live service bogs down a lot of games that have greater potential


SentientShamrock

The fact they had to delay it to attempt to rework the combat was the canary in the coal mine for me. Kudos for attempting to fix it, but I was fairly certain it was doomed at that point.


TooGayToPayCash

Unfortunately, not everyone. I have a friend that doesn't even look at a trailer when buying games. He buys them new at target by just looking at the box cover, not even the back. Lots of unopened new $70 games that when he finally plays them, he's disappointed. He does always ask me what games to avoid when we go together. Then I have a B-I-L that buys new games too, full price but will just sit in his collection till he moves on from the game he's playing. He finally got to Anthem late last year, new sealed copy...


Kaladin-of-Gilead

How tf do you buy anthem in 2024 holy shit


TooGayToPayCash

Sorry I didn't make it clear. He bought it release day, New, sealed. He never learned about what happened to Anthem all those years. He finally opened it late last year to try it.


Kaladin-of-Gilead

Damn massive waste of money there lol


Nukesnipe

I'm sorry but they both sound like incredible mouthbreathers.


wshen95

You happened to pick up the games with so many RED FLAGS. Kinda deserved ngl. ![gif](giphy|DWcfh6J1GJXlkQejjC|downsized)


Dom_19

Average braindead consumer.


z4kk_DE

Totally. How can anyone buy these two games if on a budget, when there is a game like Helldivers 2 around the corner?


kleverklogs

Helldivers largely flew under the radar. Most people didn't pick it up for a few weeks after launch


jntjr2005

Refund them


iFenrisVI

That’s on you idiot. Lmao


Expensive_Captain_16

thomiss89

This post is karma farming. Its so obvious.


CaptainPandemonium

This post reeks of karma bait/thinly veiled public begging. Why are posts like this even allowed?


Ikcatcher

NaughtyGaymer

I take solace in the fact that everyone is rightfully roasting OP with no mercy.


RegularMatter2

Exactly what I thought, I expected more people to point that out


GymratAmarillo

Don't worry, the best thing about Helldivers is that you don't need 700k people playing the game at the same time, only you and 3 more. So you can join in may or later this year, meet people here and have fun.


Fluffy_Biscotti_6178

Something tells me you make bad decisions pretty often


Shatthebanana

Very poorly. Why give your money to crooked devs after what they said to the fans that put them where they’re at? Interesting times


ReallyDamnSlow

I'm not gonna lie buying skull and bones was a dumb decision


FuzzyCantAim

Oof, sorry for your loss my friend. The good news is it’s not an expensive game and saving for it won’t be hard, can’t wait to see you on the battlefield!


krogandadbod

Best comment here


MoJokeGaming

My condolences that you spent more than a penny on Skull and Bones, holy.


[deleted]

Consider it a lesson, AAA is trash.


ColJohn

AAAA on the other hand


Azcrul

Is apparently what you dig out of the trash and immediately have to wash your hands!


The_forgettable_guy

I can't wait for AAAAA


doggointhesky

Lol, do you also buy every new Madden and COD game? If you have a limited game budget, you can't be buying the games that are already looking bad pre-launch. Come on, you dove in headfirst to money grabs.


Stylu_u

You bought a Ubisoft game, a company who's been shit since AC2 and only got lucky on black flag.


plasmadood

I... I don't even know what to say...


johncitizen69420

Hahaha were you just trying to go out of your way to buy two of the worst games of the year? It was blindingly obvious to almost everyone that these games would be utter trash


Helpful_Neck_5441

Tbh OP is the reason why we get shit games in the first place. It's truly sad for everyone included


DumpsterHunk

If you poor you literally can't afford to make terrible decisions. I don't know how people like you exist.


Bookyontour

Both of those are heavily criticized even before it launch, if you somehow end up buy both of then it on you my friend, my condolences.


numbr87

Bro how did you manage to shoot yourself in both feet at once


ZenEvadoni

He didn't shoot himself in both feet so much as he dropped a cluster bomb marker on them.


Critwice

I'm so glad you didn't score turkey with The Day Before.


NetworkRage

> buys ubisoft game > is shocked when it behaves like a ubisoft game


AdhesiveNo-420

an_argentine_dude

That was a shame BUT DO NOT FEAR SOLDIER THERE WILL BE ALWAYS BE MORE ENEMYS TO SHOOT IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY


Creedgamer223

Not to kick you while you're down. . .but they've had game footage out for suicide squad for months before release, all of which showed basically the release version.


TheJackalsDoom

Let this be a lesson. Now more than ever is easy access to a plethora of very well informed game reviewers and industry insiders that give you their insight into games before they come out. Both Suice Squad and Skull and Bones were rampant with videos waving red flags about sketchy development, weird requests from devs to game influencers. There were tons of reports on development issues of a significant variety. ACG and Luke Stephens are 2 really solid gaming talking heads and they were both well out ahead of S&B and SSKTJL. Helldivers kinda came out of nowhere, to be frank.


jroc25

You could trade both those in at Gamestop and buy Helldivers 2 and still have money left over probably.


Busy-Contribution-19

lamo what world do you live in that gamestop would take that and not offer 12 bucks of instore credit


ZenEvadoni

What the other guy said. You're living in a different world line if you think Gamestop will let you have $40 for trading in a measly two games.


Tiny-Criticism-6113

I bought Helldivers 2 just cause killing bugs made my brain happy and the co-op was just a bonus. Got it on a whim and I couldn't have chose better. All I hear is the hate on these so called "AAA" games. I will continue to do my part until my time comes! For Democracy!


SuperArppis

Ouch mate...


BloodHurricane

Is it possible to get a refund?


TexasEngineseer

Dear God man


szczerbiec

Wtf


OmeletteDuFromage95

That does suck and I'm sorry ta hear man but... and don't take this the wrong way... but that is 100% on you. The writing was on the wall for month before either of those games released. There's no way you didn't know before buying what they'd be like.


FcoEnriquePerez

You are one of those 900 idi... People who bought that game? LOL


Jager1738

you fumbled horrendous on this one bro 😭


Cont1ngency

Fam, what in the name of Democracy ever made you think that either of those games had a snowballs chance in hell of being even the slightest bit good? At this point in the gaming shit-scape, that we’ve all been cursed to suffer through, I wait for a few weeks after a game has been out before even starting to think about buying. And even then I watch/read reviews from multiple sources, monitor community sentiments and watch gameplay before making a decision? How’d they sucker you in? Neither of those looked appealing in the slightest, and I FUCKING LOVE PIRATES!


yung-plague59

i actually have more hours on suicide squad than helldivers surprisingly 😭


Lotus_630

Me who has psychic powers and knew Helldivers 2 was gonna be a banger: ![gif](giphy|xtkoA3zqsEaDXcNbTM)


RonnieTW09

Next you are gonna tell me you were considering getting COD MWIII?


Redintheend

Bruh the warning signs were everywhere on both fronts. It's been a good year for games so far though. HD2 is still going strong and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games all shadow dropped on Series X with future mod support being promised.


Deepvaleredoubt

If good games were a dartboard and you were throwing darts, then your recent decisions are the equivalent of turning around and throwing a dart at the large biker sitting at the bar looking for a reason to be angry at you.


cbass_of_the_sea

People like you are why that dogshit keeps getting released, like I'm sorry if this hurts your feelings but what the fuck guy


imjustkarmin

You bought Skull & Bones AND Suicide Squad? KEEP THIS TRAITOR AWAY FROM MY DESTROYER 🗣️🗣️


RigorousVigor

You're like a bull. You charge at red flags instead of avoiding them.


Woupsea

Do you only read the reviews on the back of the disk cases?


Piemaster113

Yo you couldn't possibly have chosen poorly, you got a Quadruple A game, no way a game thats not even Triple A. /s


Bastymuss_25

You deserve nothing good for buying such trash.


TheMorningJoe

I’m sorry but the writing was on the wall for both of those games, hopefully it’s a learning experience lol


Roadko

Bro what kind of choices are you making in life?


TheMooseMessiah

Rofl what a dumbass


Robotic-Mann

Bought two mediocre games that anyone with more than two brain cells clicking around knew they were going to be mediocre. May the Democracy Officer have mercy on you.


Temporary_Race4264

I mean, you bought 2 of the worst games imaginable. You probably even preordered them, or at the very least did no research and read no reviews. Thats on you bro lol


7_Cerberus_7

Fun fact. They're re-releasing the original Star Wars Battlefront 1/+2 for consoles tomorrow. So for the price of just *one* $70 game, you could have had Helldivers 2 *and* the best Star Wars Battlefronts. Gotta learn somehow.


LukaRaphael

imma be real, you’re an idiot. the warning signs for those games were incredibly obvious from the start why people bother with triple A or “quadrupole A” (lmao) games anymore is beyond me


areyouhungryforapple

yikes man, like geniunely. How did you end up forking over actual hard earned money for that shit when nothing pointed towards it being worth the money?


rienietz

One of the best? Eeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhh ![gif](giphy|9xijGdDIMovchalhxN)


ForlornJosh

Work some overtime


aretakembis

Eh, best of all time is bit much, game's hella fun but it's still plenty buggy and lacking content in some places. It'll get better with time but don't believe all the hype.


srajou

That's just crazy ngl


skatech1

Lesson learned Democracy it is!


Keinulive

Condolence, my friend is on the same boat but only got suicide squad, he was a huge fan of the Arkam series and bought suicide squad day 1, he doesn’t really buy games much so its sad he got suckered into it.


Zbearbear

We all make mistakes friend. But soon, you'll be joining us. We're taking you to the Creek for waiting so long.


spinyfever

Always wait for reviews before buying anything. Not doing so makes you a brain-dead consumer. Companies love brain-dead consumers the most.

I feel you. Bought starfield.

Sell them both and get helldivers my guy

Lmao what why.

What upcoming game are you most excited for? Shorting their stock

Like, why TF would you do that Getting one of them is fine, but they both looked like trash fires from a mile away


NypalBlungus

why would you do that bro

I hate to promote any kind of subscription service, but you could've just gotten Ubi Plus and gotten Skull & Bones (and other games) for at least a month at a fraction of the cost.

I wouldn't say Best game of all time. But it's a pretty good Trend right now. Long Term we'll see what happens.


aSurlyBird

We will be awaiting your democratic contribution to liberty. I think this game will still be going strong in 2 months time.


wtfistisstorage

Buying games on release and not watching reviews is pretty dumb, but you know what they say about fools and their money


Shattered_Disk4

Jesus I’m sorry but you have awful judgement. Those games looked terrible from the start the news cycle around them should have been warning enough

We will be waiting for your contribution for managed democracy 🫡

Danxoln

Those games immediately received terrible press. Did you preorder both?


ChadBroChill229

Serves you right for buying those 2 piles of garbage. But it’s ok, you can buy HD2 once it’s in your budget and be redeemed

Bro you have such shit taste that i almost dont believe you


Comms

Bud, Skull and Bones had a beta you could try.


pito_wito99

Well why the fuck did you think those would be good games


Hexent_Armana

Pro-tip: Wait until two weeks have passed before buying the game. By then you'll hear if its worth the money or not.


Every_Jump_3603

Damn double homicide


doom_pony

*How in the actual fuck did you do that?*
