Helldivers 2 Devs' Attempt To Quell Outrage Has The Opposite Effect
"Helldivers 2 's recent review tally on Steam is currently sitting at Mostly Negative, and the latest wave of negative reviews has also dropped the game's overall ranking down to Mostly Positive. In an attempt to put the fanbase's minds at ease, developers Arrowhead put out a post on Steam, Reddit, and Discord to address some recent complaints...which has somehow only managed to upset fans even further."
"Whatever the reason, the player base is certainly very passionate about its distaste for some of the game's recent changes. I haven't played Helldivers 2 in several months, so I'm just going off the posts I've seen on the subreddit, the messages in the Discord, and the negative reviews here, but here's a non-exhaustive list of issues I've seen people complain about."
"Weapons keep getting nerfed, devs keep adding Warbonds you have to pay for instead of fixing bugs, performance is getting worse on PC, patch notes don't list the buffs for the enemies, and-the thing that's apparently upsetting people the most-Arrowhead apparently isn't doing a great job of communicating with fans."
"Well, they've attempted to address that last one at least, but based on the replies to their on Reddit...I'm not sure I'd say they did a "great job" of communicating. However, that may have less to do with what they said and more to"
Helldivers 2 has seen a decline in Steam review sentiment, with recent negative reviews lowering the overall ranking. Developers attempted to address community complaints through posts on Steam, Reddit, and Discord, but the response further upset players. Players report frequent weapon nerfs, added paid Warbonds instead of bug fixes, and worsening performance on PC. Complaints also include patch notes that do not list enemy buffs. The strongest frustration centers on perceived inadequate communication with fans, despite attempts to provide updates from Super Earth Command addressing community questions.
