Companies offer stuff. It's up to the customers to accept it or not. If they can sell the stuff for 20$ they will try 25$ next time. If they can sell stuff for 25$ they will try 30$ next time. Thats just business.
I rather buy other game for that value $20 may be nothing in America but 80pln is quite a lot just to spent it on something like this. That entire Collab set is so overpriced to the point what u get from missions is worthless
20 bucks?? That's less then going to the movies, If you cant farm it in game, then that's on you. And if you don't have 20 dollars...then get a job. Lazy people.
Seems fine to me. And yes you don’t have to buy it. Feeling left out on the weapon buy that, Sad you don’t have armour with resists on multiple damage types buy that. That’s about 10$ and the only things that make any and only marginal difference to gameplay.
it WAS going to be a warbond according to the leak of its full on banner. But then Sony decided to try and force some income after their year of stupidity.
Even if it was $20 I’d be happier with that. I can’t play right now so I’m going to have to wait until it comes back around. I don’t understand AH at times.
Honestly what they need to do is get rid of the current superstore model by not using timers and just have all of the superstore items catalogued in their specific sections in the store whether it be armor, weapons, capes and other miscellaneous items. They need to get rid of timers and make it so we can buy any item we want from the superstore at any moment. And when they add a new item they can just have it displayed in the front of the superstore for a week so people know it's there but then keep it in the catalog where people can buy it any day they want similar to war bonds. This way there is no FOMO and the player base can be more agreeable to having these items in the superstore because they can just grind at their leisure and buy them whenever they feel like it. Effectively turning the superstore into just one massive war bond.
@@yume2280you can't blame Sony for everything. Yes it's obvious that they're trying to recuperate their losses by wringing the neck of a dead franchise that they killed, but Arrowhead is also doubling down on it.
Well it’s safe to assume this is only standard for collabs going forward, regular content will probably remain cheap. 2 companies engaging Ina collab need to make money. You’re not getting premium collab content for a 2$. Everyone’s stressing over nothing.
it has been mentioned several times i seen on both the HD discord and reddit. This should have been a $15 - $20 dollar warbond, yeah you'll still get complaints but not as bad as it is now.
@@denhawken of course you can grind the SCs but the main concern (at least for me) are the rising prices in the superstore, not to mention that superstore was supposed to sell only cosmetics and NOT guns.
It's not FoMO at that point. THAT'S what people hate. Don't price gouge us then make it limited time only. That's just scummy. Update was awesome, but this Super Store crap is really killing the vibes..
I wouldn't mind if they would just remove requisition slips as an item you can find, and buff the super credits instead. You earn requisition slips with missions anyways, and there's not neerly enough need for them
Fr im getting fed up with their bullshit, i spent 60$ on the game and yet there is so much content (guns/ strategems) i dont have bc i dont give them money or grind for so many hours playing a way i dont want to
@@JoMcD21 i disagree, they need to make super credits way easier to obtain, paying for them should be for ppl who dont really play the game but want all the stuff. I have a shit tom of hours yet dont have any supercredits, its greedy bad game design om an otherwise amazing game imo
Not everyone is a no lifer. Game is fun, but these prices are f**kin steep for the holidays. Especially with the store timer. That thing needs to go. Do that? Problem solved.
it's important to note that there is a second page coming for the Killzone collab coming in 5 days. It will likely be similarly priced. That means that if its the exact same price and amount of items, we will be looking at the full collab costing the same as the game itself.
That's $50 in about a month, if you buy everything from the Warbond to the Super Store part one and two. That's more than the entire game costs. It's ridiculous. Especially with it being the holidays. They need to remove the timer.
@@davidshort2818 You can only earn that if you have time to grind. Most people don't. They CAN however pay for some credits when they can afford it. But if you can't afford the limited time content at the time, then you're screwed. You're at the mercy of the store timer when you spent money on the game waiting for the content you actually wanted. It can take up to 2 months for some items to be recycled. That's BS. The timer need to go and the content needs to remain available permanently.
@@JoMcD21 Well yea, they are hoping more people buy it over grinding for it. You cant keep adding content to the game if no one buys anything. On the cost however i agree the whole thing should be 20$ maybe 25$ at the most.
Why not just have everything open to purchase at all times? I would be open to PAYING if it falls in my pay period. I get that we can grind, but that's a TON of time to wait to MAYBE get a rotation. That's FoMO, and it's not fair for a paid for game..
@@JoMcD21 the store rotates every 48 hrs You can farm 2000 super credits on level1 without needing for extraction you can do this in a day Even if you miss the 48hr window the items will roll back around in about a week or so So by then even if you don't farm and play normally you will have enough super credits to buy everything plus more Or you can just pay with real money if you know don't like playing the game
It means Fear of Missing out People use the phrase for alot of games that do limited time events to get you to pay. Some games also make the grind impossible without paying. Like I think apex legends had like a multi hundred dollar event at one point. (I could be wrong so I'm open to being corrected) @ThePartisan13
That's so expensive! Why does Sony need so much money? Did they just have a huge game that totally flopped in release and are desperate to recover costs or something?
@@jamesmcfarland6754stop bootlicking sony kiddo. Most people can't spend hours grinding a fictional currency because unlike you, we have lives, jobs, and hobbies
@@starrysock gamers that can't think beyond the next two days actually believe that these huge companies react emotionally instead of having 10-20 year strategies.
Can AH and Sony go ONE WEEK without a stupid controversial decision? New update is so much fun and then this... C'mon. "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?!"
@@natehanson9672 they clearly ripped the warbond apart to sell it piecemeal. If they had just sold it as a "super premium warbond" for everything unlockable via medals even at a higher price it would have gone over better.
The glowing red eyes on the new Kill Zone Helmet is GREAT for not accidently shooting your team in the dark streets with zombies all around you. WORTH IT.
What im afraid is if they put a liberator reskin in the superstore, whats next? Stratagems (that wasp launcher is from killzone, is it going to be a superstore macro transaction)? unique weapons? Removal of free super credits to induce sales? We need to stop this NOW or it will just get worse. Ive seen it before in other games and it makes me upset every time. Even if you think its ok now for some reason, you still aren't justified to defend it, because if you do, it will get greedier and greedier until you are suffering too.
@@marcinkarpiuk7797Yeah and they're making it even more grindy. I swear they actually lessened how many you get from the pods down to 10. That is insane
This is actually just part 1 of the collaboration. The next part will be released on December 23rd, which the hell Divers Discord said in the HD2 announcements section.
With it being the holidays, it's SUPER scummy to make people spend $10 on a Warbond, $20 on the Super Store, then likely ANOTHER $20 for part 2. That's a ton of money for a lot of people.. especially for an already paid for game. Hell! That's more than the game costs as a whole!!
@@ThePartisan13 It's on Arrowhead too, but yeah Sony has been getting worse.. and that's coming from a PS player. They're not the only ones to blame in this though. Part of it is on us for not kicking them in the nuts when they have it coming. Still frustrating to see it happen.
Good lord, an AR 60% the price of an entire Warbond. They could have made the Sta-52 AP3 with a hundred-round magazine and Tenderizer stopping power and even then it BARELY would have been worth it.
I just wanna point out that despite thr 50% resistance to electrical, the tesla towers from the squids still 1shot you and so does the shock attack from harvesters I beleive. It's not exactly that good.
Interestingly, I had plenty of runs today, and the results were different - first I got insta-killed, but then it started to take off around 75% of hp, so... Still, yeah, compared to 95% resistance, 50% looks strangely weak
@codyowens7412 no way really?! I could have sworn it still worked. I thought i recently grabbed some super credits but then failed the mission and still earned the super credits
@@codyowens7412 That's wrong, literally farming right now. What they did is if you repeat a mission too much and leave once you get credits, THAT mission will stop giving you credits
Yeah, I'd love to know how much Sony are getting from each sale of the Killzone set. My guess is that the Helldivers team promised them too much to get that crossover deal, hence the price. They should know when to walk away from the negotiating table. Sony are well known for the greed and pressuring their 'partners' into unfavorable terms.
@@denhawken thats like saying you can grind war thunder for free (although not as extreme). you theoretically can, but its gonna take way too long to be worth the time. this toxic positivity is getting annoying
while im personally a killzone fan so i don't mind dropping some dosh for it but i do agree with the sentiment that the economy in the game desperately needs a full rework, req slips are completely worthless, medal cap halts progress in a way that makes it feel like ass and while super credits are relatively fine, the superstore items should never be more costly then warbonds especially with how questionable some warbonds have been in the past, its like placing your hand on pandora's box
You give a fair argument, I'd probably still buy it since its actually looks nice and actually useful stuff, should've been a warbond imo. And yeah, all the free resources are just worthless and the only important thing now that's worth grinding are just SC's, like...what else is ther to do?
For all the flaws HD2 has had, one issue I never had was the pricing. With enough dedication, I could grind for the warbonds no problem. But I can't accept this, not when its double the price of an actual warbond, it makes no sense, and I can't tell who's at fault. All i can hope for is that AH listens to what we have to say about this utter nonsense.
While I do understand why people are upset about the prices in the superstore, I do believe it's important to keep in mind that this may not be as cut and dry as we think. AH most likely didn't just ask for the killzone IP, and sony was like, "Sure! Do whatever you want with it, " i believe, Sony wanted AH to make this as monetizing as possible or they wouldn't get the Crossover. And AH can't say that Sony made them do this because it would be damaging to the brand, and they would never be allowed to make any more crossovers ever again.
I got suspicious when the stun baton was a super store exclusive but ignored it because the lance was in the warbond and was very similar and it only cost 200 sc but getting a unique gun and armor passive at that price with nothing else like it in the game bothers me, if it was like armor in the super store after a warbond drop where you can get the same armor passive in the warbond or the shop item its cool but this feels off.
I JUST dropped $10 for the new warbond. Then get hit with a $20 price tag for all the other new stuff. I can't drop that much cash THAT quickly. I don't care that we can "grind," that's not fair to do to us. We already paid for the game. I don't want a store that's FoMO in a PAID game.
The price increase on the collab is quite extreme. It's very much grabbing the people who were big Killzone fans which I'm sure there is a lot of overlap in the fanbases.
A lot of people are freaking out, IMO, the Killzone items that are for sale in the super store are not scummy, all can be bought in piece meal, not requiring the whole 20 dollars. Its few hours of play for every item each player wants like normal. Its still facilitating customer choices for the players, while also showing the new profitability of collabs to investors and publishers for AH.
Im into it, I love the helmet , it goes with almost every outfit. The cape and the gear look good. The gun I think is good for illuminates because of the ammo capacity, as I use other weapons for the medium armor enemies. And to complain about the weapon, there was the stun baton a few days before, people are just complaining because they don't like the price.
It’s a slippery slope. That’s the complaint. I’m glad people are sounding off, because if you don’t, they’ll just keep upping the price on these kinds of things.
People will vote with their wallets, thats really how you handle this situation. because a person can be vocal about something, but if they' still buy it, they'll still do it. Ive done some work in this, and it comes down to analytics, did people buy it? Yes? ok do it again. No? Try something else.
One real problem that I've only heard mentioned one other time is that by putting it in rotation, we would have to wait months for it to come back because there is so much in the store. They need to get rid of the timer, even reducing the timer still means FOMO. The other problem is all of this was leaked to be in a killzone warbond (they even had the warbond art in the game!) which would have been more expensive. I and many other people probably would have been fine with that due to it being a collab plus there is no fomo with warbonds. Instead they separated out all the individual parts and made the gun by itself which is what most people would probably want from it mainly, almost as much as a single older total warbond. My review has flipped from positive to negative to positive and now back to negative on steam.
I am disappointed in arrowhead, the pricing is ridiculous, blah, blah, blah, and the what not. But what really gets me, is that arrowhead said they wouldn’t put weapons in the SS…… but now they have! Did they forget their promise to us?
@@Spigan818sony known for making single player games with no mtx is now suddenly not consumer friendly because game has in game items you can earn for free By the way sony dosnt own arrowhead....
@@ssjmonstar They don't own them yes, but they own the IP and when it comes to Monetization they have word in that too, as well as the fact they own Hellzone the IP, so the crossover is also overseen by them
Yeah, if people are pissed now, just wait until PT2. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Arrowhead is 100% their own worst enemy. So much hype with the Illuminate update to then throw it all away with greed and these shop updates.
That cost is covered with the advertising and game purchases, not the microtransactions. Anything more is pure greed. I spent $10, just to get punished with a $20 price tag IMMEDIATELY after. So, now I either have to dump DOUBLE what I put in OR hope they cycle it back when I can afford it. It's a slap in the face after showing them support with a Warbond purchase.. It could all be solved by removing the store timer.
also from what i am hearing this was meant to be a Full Warbond not just a superstore cross over! form what i have seen there is 2 more weapons and a full armor set still to come, and if todays pricing is anything to go by its going to be another 2K supercredits on the 24th what the other half of this "Warbond" will drop
@@aw3someinc175 true but alot of people don't have time to farm and seeing all of this was part of a full Warbond to have it broke down and drip fead to make it cost more is just scumie, this has sony finger prints all over it
Another issue i dont see anyone talking about is the release window of this crossover. The squids show up drawing big player numbers just in time for a new warbond with 2 HIGHLY requested stratagems and the HIGHLY requested melee weapons so most players either bought or used saved up SC already. Releasing this collaboration knowing a good chunk of your player base is tapped out on premium currency is equally as predatory as the prices themselves.
Your price analysis is wrong, it cost $20(1/2 the total games cost, identical to the super citizen bundle) if you choose that route. I got the armor earlier today after farming for 90min on lvl 1 difficulty for 400 sc. If AH nerfs sc farming, then this is a problem, but as long as sc farming is as insanely easy as it currently is, developers got to eat somehow.
They're eating from all the money they made SELLING the game. You know how much they made? WAY more than they could have ever expected. They're eating JUST fine. This is simple greed at this point.
Its $20 if you dont spend hours grinding mind numbing missions. AH said themselves the expected SC is 10to40 sc per hour played. You need 1975 sc to get the whole set. Thats insane. And no, his price analysis isnt wrong. The cheapest option to get the full set is $20. Not to mention, this is just part 1. Part 2 is expected to be another $20 bucks, and has a burst fire sniper.
@@JoMcD21 your argument would work if this game didn’t have recurring costs(content updates, crash fixes, server maintenance, etc) My chess board for instance was a one time payment, but also now that this particular block of wood is in my bedroom and not House of Staunton’s warehouse, there is nothing left for them to do. It’s not like chess has had an “update” in the last 500 years…
This’ll be 2 waves the. first one already costs over 2 wb’s ( a wb is 700 since you get 300 back) so for the entire collab you will have to pay, at least, 4 times as much for way less items, no emote, no vehicle skins, no pose, no 300 credits. just armour, weapons, a title and a card, maybe a mech skin? Far too much
If it's just cosmetics its fine but really they put actual passives and a new somewhat dofferent weapon is just bruh. I'm tired boss, also the amount of actual free content starting to look gloomy compared to all the warbonds locked behind 1000 sc, kinda wished we actually get SC from completing missions as well
@@just-josh4107 we really are threading to mobile game territory, but oh well...at least we get something that guarantees us SC rather than wasting time roaming around the map. Seriously, just give more variety toqards progression, I don't want to just focus on grinding SC everytime I see something cool in the store, let me do something that actually progress and reward me for doing stuff im game instead of just making me work for premium currency
I think the wasp may be good against the automatons. If the round hits is basically 1 hits overseers against the illuminate. Wish microtransaction stayed micro nothing should cost more than 5 dollars in this set.
I noticed the problem with microtransactions from the start, they keep expecting players to shill out money each time they release new content its rediculous, its a paid game not a free to play. They should make each mission completed give you super credits at the bare minimum
Btw, i got the full super store (excluding the weapon bc its buns) farming with randoms on diff 1 for 1 hour and a half starting from 300 sc, so if you really want it, grinding for it is easy and fast
You just got paid 7.50 dollars an hour to grind in a game. I know the US minimum wage is bad, but is it really so bad that is worthwhile? Seriously wondering...
@@EvaandJavierfortnite has been sued for predatory micro transactions and cod has been a joke because of it horrendous pricing. Stop bootlicking corporations
Bad comparison. Fortnite is free-to-play, and predatory. We don't want this game to turn into that. So stop. People also don't have free time OR a ton of money during holiday season. With the Super Store timer, the devs are essentially blocking people out of content until THEY chose to pull it back out.
Killzone 2 is my first ever shooter i played before cod of bf. It's so nostalgic I even shed a tear seeing the helghast shield on screen through my ps5 in contrast to my first time seeing it on my ps3 more than 10 years ago.
Honestly, the only collabs I ask for are Halo & Warhammer 40k 😂 and if the priority is “make it make sense”, both properties could easily fit within the world of Helldivers with little difficulty
I think people are forgetting that yes, the cost is high, but one you can easily farm premium currency just by playing, AND these aren't limited time events, they will eventually rotate back around.
Farming this much takes far to long and is far to pricey. 1 page of cosmetics is worth 2 war bonds? Not a chance. And considering this is only part 1 of 2, youre forgetting that this is only HALF of the content.
@toyfan1769 True, but again, they're not limited time. You can pick them up again when they cycle back, and you have spare super credits. I do agree they're pricey, no argument there. That said, dev work needs funding it doesn't come from thin air.
If farming for super credits wasn’t so easy I’d be mad too, but if you grind out for a little while, you can easily unlock most, if not all of the bundle
I was hoping collabs would involve some cool in game activity as well as some paid items. Kinda surprised they only made it a shop item. Even fortnight has in game events with collabs.
First🎉. Smells like Sony tries to gather some money from recovering from the disaster release that was Concord...Or yknow, bc they are greedy no goods. It was supposed to be a warbond, IronSights had the original cover but shortly after publishing he took it down. Coincidence? I think not. I think Sony saw this and decided to gather this sweet sweet money before AH would turn it into maybe a slightly more costly warbond bc of the collaboration. Which I would have understood, like 1500SC for the crossover warbond for excample.
I dunno man, I don't watch that particular youtuber, but I've seen quite a few of them who got into game files/theories/rumors and then spin the "insights" of what to come as something 100% set fact (*cogh* DSS *cough*). Ppl should stop looking for spoilers. Illuminate release was promised like 15 times, vehicle release 2-3-5 times, npc reinforcement stratagem few times, yatta, yatta, yatta Did they release Illuminate and vehicle in the end - they did. Did anyone really predicted right moment? - nope. So stop watching "spoilers" and enjoy game that exists
@@HeraldOfTheRiddermark yeah, it is, no arguing it But I always viewed superstore as overpriced cosmetic things for ppl who want them or can afford them (or want to support devs maybe). Nothing really changed as far as I see it :) If they will start to sell overpowered weapons/stratagems - that is where I would question Dev decisions. And while it can be argued that new store gun is improved Liberator, said Liberator is default weapon given to you for doing absolutely nothing, if store item would not even be better than that...
@IhorSirishtan I agree. I get your point. My fear is Sony or AH trying to push something like that in the future where you have to purchase whole stratagems via the superstore and they testing out the waters for that rn. But thats just my opinion, maybe since the PSN debacle im overly paranoid :/
@@HeraldOfTheRiddermark I agree, that is something to be worried about. I do hope that would not come to be and arrowhead will fight it successfully if such will be attempted by Sony . While I have no love for Sony, I still think Arrowhead trying to do good for players
I mean, the money is for both the Helldivers 2 devs and Kill Zone devs (if true, not entirely sure) so the pricing will be higher so both parties with benefit from it. It is a collab so both should benefit from it
Just FYI guys the Cosmetics are permanently in the game and aren't going to leave, they're just going to be apart of the store cycle. so keep keep grinding guys and save up your super credits so when they come back you can buy them.
40 dollar game, good company, ill pay for it just out of support. I know this isn't the same thing, but it's why I've bought every single supporter bundle and cosmetic dlc for DRG. Personally, I view it as a "thank you" for making a fun game at 40 bucks and no paid dlc. If NMS did stuff like this, I'd give them money too.
The armor passive is interesting in that the none of the effects are new just combinations of other ones. Cause acid counts as explosive damage so fortified acts the same way
People raised concerns about that too, it was just quieter because it was the first one and the lance was in the warbond. It was more "this is concerning and could be a sign of worse to come" and now their concerns are being proven right so they are raising the issue louder and with more support
People were concerned about it too, but the ficus at the time was on the huge content drop of a NEW FACTION and a new warbond. Now theres only the shop to report on
Someone on Twitter pointed out that collabs between studios like this are probably costly. And the Illuminate stuff is coming out for free. The money has to be made somewhere.
Been farming superstore credits for months lol finally something worth spending them on. Still have only spent a total of 80 CAD dollars on this game. So finally put a full priced game into it. Deserves every penny I say
It’s becoming increasingly apparent that warbond content is being gutted so that it can be sold for $10 in the super store. And with the Kill Zone the whole warbond was completely gutted so that it could be sold for 4x the original price
I love the aesthetic of the Killzone tie in but they can stick it where the sun doesn't shine. The price is absolutely egregious in just about every way imaginable, let alone the rifle going against the idea of items being purely cosmetic from that side of things.
I would love to see the Helmets give certain perks as well... maybe some have infrared... maybe some have night vision... maybe some have a zoom feature... some may offer a higher armor rating... I think that would make them much more interesting and unique.
Most people dont loke the crossover because they dont like how anti consumer it is. I dont like it because direct crossovers ruin my emersion and worldbuilding. This only reinforces my belief. Never do a direct crossover, ever.
The WASP will be MO related? Oh no... Are we going to end up with another "Mines vs Support Weapon" choice? We already had the Airburst Rocket Launcher VS Anti-Tank mines, now we might end up with WASP VS Gas Mines. This is gonna be interesting.
The tower crash happened to me a few times. Each time the game continued for me but kicked me from my group. I would die and have mission failure but then it gave me all the samples and xp as if I completed it. Very odd.
"They said in the discord that they're not planning to raise the base price of warbonds" well like you said they've also stated that weapons would never be put in the super store, yet here we are
I completely agree with your thoughts on the new pricing. I called this when the game released. I liked the pricing initially (when the prices were 1-3 bucks per SS item), but I saw this all coming. I knew they would go back on "no weapons in Super Store" and "only cosmetics" and I knew they would start implementing higher prices. To give some perspective: Unless I missed something, the only semblance of progression we've gotten since the Chemical Agents Warbond has been entirely Super Credit-driven. All Stratagems since then have either been in the Super Store or in Premium Warbonds. We're only *just now* getting new non-Premium stratagems (assuming the FRV and WASP Launcher are not tied to SC). Even with them, it's just a car and a very bad rocket launcher. That, paired with the ever-increasing prices per item. I'm just running out of rope with this company. I understand that Super Credits are earnable in-game (at a very slow and inconsistent rate), but I'd love to see ONE thing added to this game that doesn't have "Premium" in its prefix. It's getting to the point where Premium content is outnumbering the base-game content. Not to mention, they add the cap on the normal currency that you get as mission rewards. Meaning that if you have everything in the base game unlocked, practically every single mission you do yields 0 reward. I simply think that they need to rethink their entire approach to progression and monetization. Having the majority of your game's content locked behind Premium currency is ridiculously stupid, especially when all you get with that premium currency is 3 pages of useless crap interrupted by one or two decent weapons. I feel that weapons and boosters should be a separate progression system than the Warbonds (maybe have wepaons cost medals and be available through a store in the ship or something). Keep stratagems out of Warbonds and Super Store. Keep the armor sets in the Warbonds and continue to put skins and player titles/cards in there as well. Warbonds and Super Store should be cosmetic-only. I've always hated the fact that weapons were locked behind them.
As a max level player with over 2k creds sitting there with nothing to buy for months, I didn’t see a problem with the pricing of the killzone stuff. The game itself is very fun and you can basically unlock everything for free by simply playing the game.
That's the problem. It dropped too fast and has limited time purchases. Now a majority of us won't get to use it without forking over MORE than we spend on the entire game. The store timer is so scummy.
I can’t help but see this as predatory. Like when it comes to a casino, it’s people own choice to go into the casino, but you can’t say that the casino isn’t banking on people’s vulnerability and addiction to the process.
I understand the backlash, but I can tell you for sure. It doesn't affect me at all, but I also consistently play and never have a shortage of super creds. But I understand
People probably wouldn't be so mad if it didn't fall on holiday season. People are short on cash AND time around this part of the year. They really just need to remove the store timer and let people buy it when they can afford it.
Please consider that they will likely have to pay potentially steep royalties to whoever holds the Killzone IP rights. This might be why they go for the Super Store with those prices rather than as a Warbond which would set the precedent of a Warbond costing more than the normal 1000 SC.
Honestly if they're going to add what's essentially an advertisement for another IP, it should be free I really wish they didn't go down this route. "Collabs" in a game like fortnite are one thing, but in a game like helldivers it really takes you out of it. Can't wait for the 15$ storm trooper armour next year! Yaaaay.....
Been looking around and someone was saying it was likely Sony pushed for it to be a superstore rather than a warbond. Alternatively, they could have released the superstore offerings first ahead of the crossover warbond. Honestly have no idea if it is true but thought I'd put it out there as an alternate theory.

Its ok.
Sony wants mone and its just a few bits of stuff.
also its a crossover so they cant just make it cheap due to IP.
Companies offer stuff. It's up to the customers to accept it or not. If they can sell the stuff for 20$ they will try 25$ next time. If they can sell stuff for 25$ they will try 30$ next time. Thats just business.
I rather buy other game for that value $20 may be nothing in America but 80pln is quite a lot just to spent it on something like this. That entire Collab set is so overpriced to the point what u get from missions is worthless
20 bucks?? That's less then going to the movies, If you cant farm it in game, then that's on you. And if you don't have 20 dollars...then get a job. Lazy people.
Seems fine to me. And yes you don’t have to buy it. Feeling left out on the weapon buy that, Sad you don’t have armour with resists on multiple damage types buy that. That’s about 10$ and the only things that make any and only marginal difference to gameplay.
Killzone stuff should've been a warbond. A 1500 warbond for a promo would've been a better choice
Absolutely. Get rid of the damn timer!
Even 2000 would have been fine.
it WAS going to be a warbond according to the leak of its full on banner. But then Sony decided to try and force some income after their year of stupidity.
Even if it was $20 I’d be happier with that. I can’t play right now so I’m going to have to wait until it comes back around. I don’t understand AH at times.
Pretty sure it was originally gonna be a warbond. Dunno what changed though.
Someone wearing the new helmet: Dude why do you keep killing me?
Creeker: Sorry… muscle memory
remember the creek
Is still have ptsd from malevelon.. Lost many helldivers on that rock
yeah my immediate thought when i saw the eyes was "not wearing that on the bot front"
……gross. Helghast supremacy!
I’m a creeker, I have better trigger control. Don’t take much to PID your targets my friend.
Honestly what they need to do is get rid of the current superstore model by not using timers and just have all of the superstore items catalogued in their specific sections in the store whether it be armor, weapons, capes and other miscellaneous items. They need to get rid of timers and make it so we can buy any item we want from the superstore at any moment.
And when they add a new item they can just have it displayed in the front of the superstore for a week so people know it's there but then keep it in the catalog where people can buy it any day they want similar to war bonds.
This way there is no FOMO and the player base can be more agreeable to having these items in the superstore because they can just grind at their leisure and buy them whenever they feel like it. Effectively turning the superstore into just one massive war bond.
Current model promotes more frequent logins. I think some sort of time gate does make sense from a business perspective
@@aw3someinc175agreed. That’s just how companies run it I suppose.
Yeah, sure, Sony is definitely going to let them do that.
@@aw3someinc175 Capitalism must go.
@@stardustdragonx3612 arrowhead isn't owned by sony
You've been hit by the Concord tax. here is sony to touch the noses of helldivers
What im scared of is if theyll take advantage of our trust to increase the prices across the board for future warbonds or Super Store pricing.
thats the main fear i have to, too many people are giving them a pass right now so..who's to say it couldn't get worse from here?
that's exactly why I'm going to ignore this one as much as I love killzone. Fomo and jacking prices isn't cool... I smell Sony.
And they will. If the pay Piggies have a louder voice than the general populace. They'll pull a bungie and start charging for fomo and ptw
@@yume2280you can't blame Sony for everything. Yes it's obvious that they're trying to recuperate their losses by wringing the neck of a dead franchise that they killed, but Arrowhead is also doubling down on it.
Well it’s safe to assume this is only standard for collabs going forward, regular content will probably remain cheap. 2 companies engaging Ina collab need to make money. You’re not getting premium collab content for a 2$. Everyone’s stressing over nothing.
it has been mentioned several times i seen on both the HD discord and reddit.
This should have been a $15 - $20 dollar warbond, yeah you'll still get complaints but not as bad as it is now.
Oh shaddup cry divers. You can grind for free.. crydiver cry about everything!
I wouldn't listen to denhawk. All of his comments are about picking fights with the community since he started commenting on this channel.
@@denhawken of course you can grind the SCs but the main concern (at least for me) are the rising prices in the superstore, not to mention that superstore was supposed to sell only cosmetics and NOT guns.
@@acewolfgang276 because my point is solid. You can't argue the fact you are nothing more than a petulant child.. aka a crydiver.
It's not FoMO at that point. THAT'S what people hate. Don't price gouge us then make it limited time only. That's just scummy.
Update was awesome, but this Super Store crap is really killing the vibes..
I wouldn't mind if they would just remove requisition slips as an item you can find, and buff the super credits instead. You earn requisition slips with missions anyways, and there's not neerly enough need for them

I just play with mods currently 😂
Too bad its a playstation owned game, yknow rivals to xbox
@ yeah but a man can dream
@@funnyman3030literally my first thoughts exactly
I thought they promised to not release weapons in the superstore. It was supposed to be just cosmetics...
Whats the difference between buying a weapon through a warbond or the ss???? Both can be aquired for free 😂😂😂😂 stfu pls
Fr im getting fed up with their bullshit, i spent 60$ on the game and yet there is so much content (guns/ strategems) i dont have bc i dont give them money or grind for so many hours playing a way i dont want to
They just need to remove the damn timer so people can actually afford to get the stuff on their own time. I hate FoMO..
@@JoMcD21 i disagree, they need to make super credits way easier to obtain, paying for them should be for ppl who dont really play the game but want all the stuff. I have a shit tom of hours yet dont have any supercredits, its greedy bad game design om an otherwise amazing game imo
@@kevinmoran4133
You used to be able to get 100SC drops and I stopped seeing that since month two of the game.
Thata where you're wrong, its not a 20$ crossover, there's a part 2 coming so it's a 40$ crossover, the price of the base game.
Or 0$ if ur not lazy and farm credits ingame 😉
@@marcinkarpiuk7797yeah, not lazy by farming for 30 hours of casual farming lvl 1 missions
@@nagatodan i dont even buy last 3 warbonds all credits was collected ingame ...
Not everyone is a no lifer. Game is fun, but these prices are f**kin steep for the holidays. Especially with the store timer. That thing needs to go. Do that? Problem solved.
@@marcinkarpiuk7797 and how long did that take you to collect 3 warbonds worth of super credits
it's important to note that there is a second page coming for the Killzone collab coming in 5 days. It will likely be similarly priced. That means that if its the exact same price and amount of items, we will be looking at the full collab costing the same as the game itself.
insane
That's $50 in about a month, if you buy everything from the Warbond to the Super Store part one and two.
That's more than the entire game costs.
It's ridiculous. Especially with it being the holidays. They need to remove the timer.
It doesn't cost any money what are you people talking about you earn the currency in-game there is no reason for any of this
@@davidshort2818
You can only earn that if you have time to grind. Most people don't. They CAN however pay for some credits when they can afford it. But if you can't afford the limited time content at the time, then you're screwed. You're at the mercy of the store timer when you spent money on the game waiting for the content you actually wanted. It can take up to 2 months for some items to be recycled. That's BS. The timer need to go and the content needs to remain available permanently.
@@JoMcD21 Well yea, they are hoping more people buy it over grinding for it. You cant keep adding content to the game if no one buys anything. On the cost however i agree the whole thing should be 20$ maybe 25$ at the most.
I will say, I’m heavily against this price gouging. However the fact these items will be in rotation calms my FOMO down a lot.
Okay, so they will be in rotating. Perfect, I was nervous about that. Thanks for the clarification.
Why not just have everything open to purchase at all times? I would be open to PAYING if it falls in my pay period.
I get that we can grind, but that's a TON of time to wait to MAYBE get a rotation. That's FoMO, and it's not fair for a paid for game..
@@JoMcD21 the store rotates every 48 hrs
You can farm 2000 super credits on level1 without needing for extraction you can do this in a day
Even if you miss the 48hr window the items will roll back around in about a week or so
So by then even if you don't farm and play normally you will have enough super credits to buy everything plus more
Or you can just pay with real money if you know don't like playing the game
What is FOMO?
It means Fear of Missing out
People use the phrase for alot of games that do limited time events to get you to pay. Some games also make the grind impossible without paying. Like I think apex legends had like a multi hundred dollar event at one point. (I could be wrong so I'm open to being corrected)
@ThePartisan13
That's so expensive! Why does Sony need so much money? Did they just have a huge game that totally flopped in release and are desperate to recover costs or something?
I too am of the opinion that Sony’s trying to recoup their immense losses from the Concord blunder.
lol super credits are in game. You can easily go farm and get it all VERY quickly
@@jamesmcfarland6754stop bootlicking sony kiddo. Most people can't spend hours grinding a fictional currency because unlike you, we have lives, jobs, and hobbies

@@starrysock gamers that can't think beyond the next two days actually believe that these huge companies react emotionally instead of having 10-20 year strategies.

What’s the decision you’re not liking?
FoMO is scummy, no matter the game. Store timers should NEVER be a thing.
@@gamerbeast3616Is it? It's a Sony ip. Pretty sure they're pushing this price.
@@natehanson9672 they clearly ripped the warbond apart to sell it piecemeal. If they had just sold it as a "super premium warbond" for everything unlockable via medals even at a higher price it would have gone over better.
Sony pressured them, 90% sure that Arrowhead would have made it into a warbond.
The glowing red eyes on the new Kill Zone Helmet is GREAT for not accidently shooting your team in the dark streets with zombies all around you. WORTH IT.
esit till you realize the voteless have blue eyes lmao

The giant coloured square above their head isn’t enough?
Till you fight the bots 🤣
ima 100% mistake my friend for a Bot when we start doing those again lmao
What im afraid is if they put a liberator reskin in the superstore, whats next? Stratagems (that wasp launcher is from killzone, is it going to be a superstore macro transaction)? unique weapons? Removal of free super credits to induce sales? We need to stop this NOW or it will just get worse. Ive seen it before in other games and it makes me upset every time.
Even if you think its ok now for some reason, you still aren't justified to defend it, because if you do, it will get greedier and greedier until you are suffering too.
U can easily farm credits ingame...
@@marcinkarpiuk7797Yeah and they're making it even more grindy. I swear they actually lessened how many you get from the pods down to 10. That is insane
This is actually just part 1 of the collaboration. The next part will be released on December 23rd, which the hell Divers Discord said in the HD2 announcements section.
With it being the holidays, it's SUPER scummy to make people spend $10 on a Warbond, $20 on the Super Store, then likely ANOTHER $20 for part 2. That's a ton of money for a lot of people.. especially for an already paid for game. Hell! That's more than the game costs as a whole!!
@@JoMcD21That's Sony for you
@@ThePartisan13
It's on Arrowhead too, but yeah Sony has been getting worse.. and that's coming from a PS player. They're not the only ones to blame in this though.
Part of it is on us for not kicking them in the nuts when they have it coming. Still frustrating to see it happen.
@JoMcD21 I mean I think it's directly on the intervention of Sony specifically. Arrowhead wanted to release this as a warbond originally.
@@JoMcD21no it’s only Sony. This wasn’t arrowheads wishes.
Good lord, an AR 60% the price of an entire Warbond.
They could have made the Sta-52 AP3 with a hundred-round magazine and Tenderizer stopping power and even then it BARELY would have been worth it.
Almost 90% since you get a 300 sc refund. Warbond only actually costs 700 sc.
I just wanna point out that despite thr 50% resistance to electrical, the tesla towers from the squids still 1shot you and so does the shock attack from harvesters I beleive. It's not exactly that good.
Interestingly, I had plenty of runs today, and the results were different - first I got insta-killed, but then it started to take off around 75% of hp, so... Still, yeah, compared to 95% resistance, 50% looks strangely weak
just a reminder, you can grind super credits by playing trivial missions and back out once you find em in game and they stay with you
They changed that gotta complete mission to get credits
@codyowens7412 no way really?! I could have sworn it still worked. I thought i recently grabbed some super credits but then failed the mission and still earned the super credits
@@codyowens7412 nope false.
@@codyowens7412 That's wrong, literally farming right now. What they did is if you repeat a mission too much and leave once you get credits, THAT mission will stop giving you credits
Id rather go out and drive lift for 45 min.
Yeah, I'd love to know how much Sony are getting from each sale of the Killzone set. My guess is that the Helldivers team promised them too much to get that crossover deal, hence the price. They should know when to walk away from the negotiating table. Sony are well known for the greed and pressuring their 'partners' into unfavorable terms.
Yeah the biggest kicker for people to remember is that this is PAGE 1 of the collab and it's already about 2 warbonds
So? You can grind for it for free..
Crydivers have to cry about everything!
Dang! I didn’t really consider that
@@denhawkenbe quite okay.
@@denhawken thats like saying you can grind war thunder for free (although not as extreme). you theoretically can, but its gonna take way too long to be worth the time. this toxic positivity is getting annoying
@@denhawken some of us have lives outside of sitting on our ass playing video games dude
So for those that know the stAx3 WASP was a weapon from Killzone 3, manufactured from Stahl Arms hence "stA" the x is experimental Love Killzone
while im personally a killzone fan so i don't mind dropping some dosh for it but i do agree with the sentiment that the economy in the game desperately needs a full rework, req slips are completely worthless, medal cap halts progress in a way that makes it feel like ass and while super credits are relatively fine, the superstore items should never be more costly then warbonds especially with how questionable some warbonds have been in the past, its like placing your hand on pandora's box
You give a fair argument, I'd probably still buy it since its actually looks nice and actually useful stuff, should've been a warbond imo. And yeah, all the free resources are just worthless and the only important thing now that's worth grinding are just SC's, like...what else is ther to do?
For all the flaws HD2 has had, one issue I never had was the pricing. With enough dedication, I could grind for the warbonds no problem. But I can't accept this, not when its double the price of an actual warbond, it makes no sense, and I can't tell who's at fault. All i can hope for is that AH listens to what we have to say about this utter nonsense.
While I do understand why people are upset about the prices in the superstore, I do believe it's important to keep in mind that this may not be as cut and dry as we think. AH most likely didn't just ask for the killzone IP, and sony was like, "Sure! Do whatever you want with it, " i believe, Sony wanted AH to make this as monetizing as possible or they wouldn't get the Crossover. And AH can't say that Sony made them do this because it would be damaging to the brand, and they would never be allowed to make any more crossovers ever again.
If only we had an actual helldivers episode instead of a cameo. Fingers crossed for season 2
Also the kill zone collab sound exactly like sony
I got suspicious when the stun baton was a super store exclusive but ignored it because the lance was in the warbond and was very similar and it only cost 200 sc but getting a unique gun and armor passive at that price with nothing else like it in the game bothers me, if it was like armor in the super store after a warbond drop where you can get the same armor passive in the warbond or the shop item its cool but this feels off.
I agree, don’t buy super credits just farm for them, doesn’t take long once you get the process down
I JUST dropped $10 for the new warbond. Then get hit with a $20 price tag for all the other new stuff. I can't drop that much cash THAT quickly. I don't care that we can "grind," that's not fair to do to us. We already paid for the game. I don't want a store that's FoMO in a PAID game.
Locking weapons behind a paywall with warbonds = good
Locking weapons behind a paywall with a store = bad

@@ssjmonstarit's not a paywall you can earn the currency in-game no one has to pay anything these UA-cam videos are just click bait ragebait
The price increase on the collab is quite extreme. It's very much grabbing the people who were big Killzone fans which I'm sure there is a lot of overlap in the fanbases.

A lot of people are freaking out, IMO, the Killzone items that are for sale in the super store are not scummy, all can be bought in piece meal, not requiring the whole 20 dollars. Its few hours of play for every item each player wants like normal. Its still facilitating customer choices for the players, while also showing the new profitability of collabs to investors and publishers for AH.
PLEASE!! do not remove the passive from support weapons, the new passive is SO GOOD on LMG and HMG
Im into it, I love the helmet , it goes with almost every outfit. The cape and the gear look good. The gun I think is good for illuminates because of the ammo capacity, as I use other weapons for the medium armor enemies.
And to complain about the weapon, there was the stun baton a few days before, people are just complaining because they don't like the price.
People were concerned about the baton too, saying that putting weapons in the superstore was concerning and could be a sign of worse to come
It’s a just complaint what are you getting at
It’s a slippery slope. That’s the complaint. I’m glad people are sounding off, because if you don’t, they’ll just keep upping the price on these kinds of things.
People will vote with their wallets, thats really how you handle this situation. because a person can be vocal about something, but if they' still buy it, they'll still do it.
Ive done some work in this, and it comes down to analytics, did people buy it? Yes? ok do it again. No? Try something else.
@@AswollAlpaca Haha, nothing specific, but I see where you're going.
Just let us buy what we want without timers and call it a day. FOMO ain’t it. 🤦♂
One real problem that I've only heard mentioned one other time is that by putting it in rotation, we would have to wait months for it to come back because there is so much in the store. They need to get rid of the timer, even reducing the timer still means FOMO. The other problem is all of this was leaked to be in a killzone warbond (they even had the warbond art in the game!) which would have been more expensive. I and many other people probably would have been fine with that due to it being a collab plus there is no fomo with warbonds. Instead they separated out all the individual parts and made the gun by itself which is what most people would probably want from it mainly, almost as much as a single older total warbond. My review has flipped from positive to negative to positive and now back to negative on steam.
I am disappointed in arrowhead, the pricing is ridiculous, blah, blah, blah, and the what not.
But what really gets me, is that arrowhead said they wouldn’t put weapons in the SS…… but now they have! Did they forget their promise to us?
Welcome to Sony. They have some of the most unconsumer friendly practices in the business next to ea and Activision
What different then putting them in warbonds?

thats damn near two warbonds!
just for the first page
More than 2 really because you get 300sc back from the warbonds
Predators and aliens should be a crossover too
Yeah, if people are pissed now, just wait until PT2. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Arrowhead is 100% their own worst enemy. So much hype with the Illuminate update to then throw it all away with greed and these shop updates.
We gotta remember that collabs require licensing, that’s gotta be where most of the extra cost comes from
Bro, both of them are Sony franchises. They can do whatever they want with them for free. There is no license fee
@@JackdotC Indeed.. people aint thinking too much these days. they just comment lol
@@JackdotC Are you trusting Sony? Are you sure they didn’t charge Arrowhead anything?
@@yavr0101 why would they charge their best performing live service for inhouse collabs???
That cost is covered with the advertising and game purchases, not the microtransactions. Anything more is pure greed.
I spent $10, just to get punished with a $20 price tag IMMEDIATELY after. So, now I either have to dump DOUBLE what I put in OR hope they cycle it back when I can afford it. It's a slap in the face after showing them support with a Warbond purchase..
It could all be solved by removing the store timer.
also from what i am hearing this was meant to be a Full Warbond not just a superstore cross over! form what i have seen there is 2 more weapons and a full armor set still to come, and if todays pricing is anything to go by its going to be another 2K supercredits on the 24th what the other half of this "Warbond" will drop
Yeah that does hurt, but farming isn’t that hard
@@aw3someinc175 true but alot of people don't have time to farm and seeing all of this was part of a full Warbond to have it broke down and drip fead to make it cost more is just scumie, this has sony finger prints all over it
03:28 "you just have to sit there and take it until it finishes. Which isn't entirely bad because the visuals are incredible"
Lvl 3 grind is best for sc. No rare sample chances in boxes.
Another issue i dont see anyone talking about is the release window of this crossover. The squids show up drawing big player numbers just in time for a new warbond with 2 HIGHLY requested stratagems and the HIGHLY requested melee weapons so most players either bought or used saved up SC already. Releasing this collaboration knowing a good chunk of your player base is tapped out on premium currency is equally as predatory as the prices themselves.
Your price analysis is wrong, it cost $20(1/2 the total games cost, identical to the super citizen bundle) if you choose that route. I got the armor earlier today after farming for 90min on lvl 1 difficulty for 400 sc. If AH nerfs sc farming, then this is a problem, but as long as sc farming is as insanely easy as it currently is, developers got to eat somehow.
They're eating from all the money they made SELLING the game. You know how much they made? WAY more than they could have ever expected. They're eating JUST fine.
This is simple greed at this point.
Its $20 if you dont spend hours grinding mind numbing missions. AH said themselves the expected SC is 10to40 sc per hour played. You need 1975 sc to get the whole set. Thats insane. And no, his price analysis isnt wrong. The cheapest option to get the full set is $20.
Not to mention, this is just part 1. Part 2 is expected to be another $20 bucks, and has a burst fire sniper.
@@toyfan1769 from personal experience, it’s not 20-30/hr, it’s much more. Closer to 100-150/hr
@@JoMcD21 your argument would work if this game didn’t have recurring costs(content updates, crash fixes, server maintenance, etc)

This’ll be 2 waves the. first one already costs over 2 wb’s ( a wb is 700 since you get 300 back) so for the entire collab you will have to pay, at least, 4 times as much for way less items, no emote, no vehicle skins, no pose, no 300 credits. just armour, weapons, a title and a card, maybe a mech skin?

I think the wasp may be good against the automatons. If the round hits is basically 1 hits overseers against the illuminate. Wish microtransaction stayed micro nothing should cost more than 5 dollars in this set.
I noticed the problem with microtransactions from the start, they keep expecting players to shill out money each time they release new content its rediculous, its a paid game not a free to play. They should make each mission completed give you super credits at the bare minimum
Stay strong divers. Dont give into this tyranny. Drive those prices back down
The Cost of a Happy Meal
Btw, i got the full super store (excluding the weapon bc its buns) farming with randoms on diff 1 for 1 hour and a half starting from 300 sc, so if you really want it, grinding for it is easy and fast
Its feasible. I dont know why people are complaining.

Bad comparison. Fortnite is free-to-play, and predatory. We don't want this game to turn into that. So stop.
People also don't have free time OR a ton of money during holiday season. With the Super Store timer, the devs are essentially blocking people out of content until THEY chose to pull it back out.
Killzone 2 is my first ever shooter i played before cod of bf. It's so nostalgic I even shed a tear seeing the helghast shield on screen through my ps5 in contrast to my first time seeing it on my ps3 more than 10 years ago.
Honestly, the only collabs I ask for are Halo & Warhammer 40k 😂 and if the priority is “make it make sense”, both properties could easily fit within the world of Helldivers with little difficulty
I think people are forgetting that yes, the cost is high, but one you can easily farm premium currency just by playing, AND these aren't limited time events, they will eventually rotate back around.
Farming this much takes far to long and is far to pricey. 1 page of cosmetics is worth 2 war bonds? Not a chance. And considering this is only part 1 of 2, youre forgetting that this is only HALF of the content.
@toyfan1769 True, but again, they're not limited time. You can pick them up again when they cycle back, and you have spare super credits.
I do agree they're pricey, no argument there. That said, dev work needs funding it doesn't come from thin air.
well a collaboration desires profits for 2 parties this is not all arrowheads decision
I guess we know why Twinbeard stepped down now.
If farming for super credits wasn’t so easy I’d be mad too, but if you grind out for a little while, you can easily unlock most, if not all of the bundle
I was hoping collabs would involve some cool in game activity as well as some paid items. Kinda surprised they only made it a shop item. Even fortnight has in game events with collabs.
First🎉. Smells like Sony tries to gather some money from recovering from the disaster release that was Concord...Or yknow, bc they are greedy no goods. It was supposed to be a warbond, IronSights had the original cover but shortly after publishing he took it down. Coincidence? I think not. I think Sony saw this and decided to gather this sweet sweet money before AH would turn it into maybe a slightly more costly warbond bc of the collaboration. Which I would have understood, like 1500SC for the crossover warbond for excample.
I dunno man, I don't watch that particular youtuber, but I've seen quite a few of them who got into game files/theories/rumors and then spin the "insights" of what to come as something 100% set fact (*cogh* DSS *cough*). Ppl should stop looking for spoilers. Illuminate release was promised like 15 times, vehicle release 2-3-5 times, npc reinforcement stratagem few times, yatta, yatta, yatta
Did they release Illuminate and vehicle in the end - they did. Did anyone really predicted right moment? - nope. So stop watching "spoilers" and enjoy game that exists
@IhorSirishtan Fair point. But you gotta admit, the pricing is a bit steep
@@HeraldOfTheRiddermark yeah, it is, no arguing it
But I always viewed superstore as overpriced cosmetic things for ppl who want them or can afford them (or want to support devs maybe). Nothing really changed as far as I see it :)
If they will start to sell overpowered weapons/stratagems - that is where I would question Dev decisions. And while it can be argued that new store gun is improved Liberator, said Liberator is default weapon given to you for doing absolutely nothing, if store item would not even be better than that...
@IhorSirishtan I agree. I get your point. My fear is Sony or AH trying to push something like that in the future where you have to purchase whole stratagems via the superstore and they testing out the waters for that rn. But thats just my opinion, maybe since the PSN debacle im overly paranoid :/
@@HeraldOfTheRiddermark I agree, that is something to be worried about. I do hope that would not come to be and arrowhead will fight it successfully if such will be attempted by Sony . While I have no love for Sony, I still think Arrowhead trying to do good for players
I mean, the money is for both the Helldivers 2 devs and Kill Zone devs (if true, not entirely sure) so the pricing will be higher so both parties with benefit from it. It is a collab so both should benefit from it
I still remember the day my gpa bought me Killzone and Jak & Dexter on Ps2 😢
A level 4 cadet just killed me 😂😂😂😂 he thought I was an automaton.
Sony is never far away in trying to greed out on us PC players. They just can't leave HD2 alone, can they.
You can literally grind out SC in no time. HD2 still has the most non egregious mtx in the business.
Just FYI guys the Cosmetics are permanently in the game and aren't going to leave, they're just going to be apart of the store cycle. so keep keep grinding guys and save up your super credits so when they come back you can buy them.
40 dollar game, good company, ill pay for it just out of support. I know this isn't the same thing, but it's why I've bought every single supporter bundle and cosmetic dlc for DRG. Personally, I view it as a "thank you" for making a fun game at 40 bucks and no paid dlc. If NMS did stuff like this, I'd give them money too.
00:30 More like Whaledivers. It actually works better on so many levels than "Wealth".
Yeah, all these games are whale hunting, how rich you actually are is irrelevant.
-New faction free
-New vehicle free
-New support weapon free
-gas mines free
Crossover armor cost a little money. The player base flips the fuck out.
I just want a space marine crossover ‼️‼️
The armor passive is interesting in that the none of the effects are new just combinations of other ones. Cause acid counts as explosive damage so fortified acts the same way
Imagine that. People panicking for no reason so that way people can make non-sensical drama.
People: arguing about weapons in super store
meanwhile the stun baton that was in the super store when the illuminate released: *confused screaming*
It was 2 bucks and released at the same time as the warbond that had a spear. It did have me concerned though and looks like my fears were right
People raised concerns about that too, it was just quieter because it was the first one and the lance was in the warbond. It was more "this is concerning and could be a sign of worse to come" and now their concerns are being proven right so they are raising the issue louder and with more support
People were concerned about it too, but the ficus at the time was on the huge content drop of a NEW FACTION and a new warbond.
Now theres only the shop to report on
Secret level high divers was a nice touch
what wasent is that i think that was the GoW kratos bait and switch. when he's barely there. just a cameo
Someone on Twitter pointed out that collabs between studios like this are probably costly. And the Illuminate stuff is coming out for free. The money has to be made somewhere.
Problem is Sony owns both studios so I don't see how it can be so expensive besides the concord tax
That's a stupid excuse. People buy the game, people buy warbonds. Don't settle for shit like this brother.
Been farming superstore credits for months lol finally something worth spending them on. Still have only spent a total of 80 CAD dollars on this game. So finally put a full priced game into it. Deserves every penny I say
It’s becoming increasingly apparent that warbond content is being gutted so that it can be sold for $10 in the super store. And with the Kill Zone the whole warbond was completely gutted so that it could be sold for 4x the original price
people talking about "oh no the price" when they forget you can just farm for super credits fairly easily and don't have to pay a dime.
I love the aesthetic of the Killzone tie in but they can stick it where the sun doesn't shine. The price is absolutely egregious in just about every way imaginable, let alone the rifle going against the idea of items being purely cosmetic from that side of things.
I would love to see the Helmets give certain perks as well... maybe some have infrared... maybe some have night vision... maybe some have a zoom feature... some may offer a higher armor rating... I think that would make them much more interesting and unique.
Most people dont loke the crossover because they dont like how anti consumer it is. I dont like it because direct crossovers ruin my emersion and worldbuilding. This only reinforces my belief. Never do a direct crossover, ever.
This is the "Never Left" armor set
Bro, I genuinely wished HD2 got their own episode instead of “Democracy Pretenders” because the helldivers I know would have lit that woman up
The WASP will be MO related? Oh no... Are we going to end up with another "Mines vs Support Weapon" choice? We already had the Airburst Rocket Launcher VS Anti-Tank mines, now we might end up with WASP VS Gas Mines. This is gonna be interesting.
The tower crash happened to me a few times. Each time the game continued for me but kicked me from my group. I would die and have mission failure but then it gave me all the samples and xp as if I completed it. Very odd.
"They said in the discord that they're not planning to raise the base price of warbonds" well like you said they've also stated that weapons would never be put in the super store, yet here we are
on another note, glad you brought the old intro back, its a banger, just like your channel
I completely agree with your thoughts on the new pricing. I called this when the game released. I liked the pricing initially (when the prices were 1-3 bucks per SS item), but I saw this all coming. I knew they would go back on "no weapons in Super Store" and "only cosmetics" and I knew they would start implementing higher prices.
To give some perspective: Unless I missed something, the only semblance of progression we've gotten since the Chemical Agents Warbond has been entirely Super Credit-driven. All Stratagems since then have either been in the Super Store or in Premium Warbonds. We're only *just now* getting new non-Premium stratagems (assuming the FRV and WASP Launcher are not tied to SC). Even with them, it's just a car and a very bad rocket launcher. That, paired with the ever-increasing prices per item. I'm just running out of rope with this company.
I understand that Super Credits are earnable in-game (at a very slow and inconsistent rate), but I'd love to see ONE thing added to this game that doesn't have "Premium" in its prefix. It's getting to the point where Premium content is outnumbering the base-game content.
Not to mention, they add the cap on the normal currency that you get as mission rewards. Meaning that if you have everything in the base game unlocked, practically every single mission you do yields 0 reward.
I simply think that they need to rethink their entire approach to progression and monetization. Having the majority of your game's content locked behind Premium currency is ridiculously stupid, especially when all you get with that premium currency is 3 pages of useless crap interrupted by one or two decent weapons. I feel that weapons and boosters should be a separate progression system than the Warbonds (maybe have wepaons cost medals and be available through a store in the ship or something). Keep stratagems out of Warbonds and Super Store. Keep the armor sets in the Warbonds and continue to put skins and player titles/cards in there as well. Warbonds and Super Store should be cosmetic-only. I've always hated the fact that weapons were locked behind them.
As a max level player with over 2k creds sitting there with nothing to buy for months, I didn’t see a problem with the pricing of the killzone stuff. The game itself is very fun and you can basically unlock everything for free by simply playing the game.
Instead of a crossover, they should bring back the franchise of Killzone.
All of this in just 3 days of time WHAT A GAME THIS IS
That's the problem. It dropped too fast and has limited time purchases. Now a majority of us won't get to use it without forking over MORE than we spend on the entire game.
The store timer is so scummy.
@@JoMcD21 Timing is the issue ngl
But if it were less pricey it could not be a disappointment
I can’t help but see this as predatory. Like when it comes to a casino, it’s people own choice to go into the casino, but you can’t say that the casino isn’t banking on people’s vulnerability and addiction to the process.
Never thought I'd see the day the Whaledivers would reach our midst.
Solid points made here Buzz. Love the videos always. Good food for thought.
This should have used this as a chance to introduce weapon skins to the game and make the new one in store just a cosmetic skin for the Liberator
I understand the backlash, but I can tell you for sure. It doesn't affect me at all, but I also consistently play and never have a shortage of super creds. But I understand
People probably wouldn't be so mad if it didn't fall on holiday season. People are short on cash AND time around this part of the year.
They really just need to remove the store timer and let people buy it when they can afford it.
@JoMcD21 yeah, especially after all the inflation that last few years, and just under 2000 super creds for the whole kit and kaboodle....oof
Please consider that they will likely have to pay potentially steep royalties to whoever holds the Killzone IP rights. This might be why they go for the Super Store with those prices rather than as a Warbond which would set the precedent of a Warbond costing more than the normal 1000 SC.
Honestly if they're going to add what's essentially an advertisement for another IP, it should be free
I really wish they didn't go down this route. "Collabs" in a game like fortnite are one thing, but in a game like helldivers it really takes you out of it.
Can't wait for the 15$ storm trooper armour next year! Yaaaay.....
Been looking around and someone was saying it was likely Sony pushed for it to be a superstore rather than a warbond.
Alternatively, they could have released the superstore offerings first ahead of the crossover warbond.
Honestly have no idea if it is true but thought I'd put it out there as an alternate theory.
