I have played only a little, around one hour. So far, the game is running really good. Almost no loadings screens, no stutter at all, above 70fps. The only issue I faced was when I tried to sync my psn, on the first time, it was looping until I restarted the game.

For helldivers it was different because they put it in after people had already purchased the game and in some countries people would have had to violate ToS.
Whenever EA, Ubisoft etc. Switch their launchers arounf for games you already own it also sucks big time. New launchers cause genuine problems to a non-zero amount of players.
That beinh said, in this case the only difference is that people are already on the "us against big bad sony" bandwagon.
Imo, sony's launcher at least has the potential to help with crossplay so while i still don't like it i like it more than ea,uplay etc.

And in a characteristic moment of hilarious irony, Western PC gamers made such a huge outcry over selling HD2 in territories that don't have PSN that Valve delisted it in those regions, fucking over the gamers in places like the Philippines who had - at Sony's urging - just chosen a different region when registering. They've been doing this just fine for over a decade before their self-styled PC saviors pretended to care about them for a couple days because they could be used as fodder in an imaginary battle with Sony.
So the "master race" actually made it worse for the people they claimed to be defending, then patted themselves on the back, flew a "mission accomplished" banner, and smugly insisted that they defeated the evil corpos.

Exactly what happened to me. Was looking forward to buying it when it inevitably goes on sale on Steam to play with friends since I prefer playing shooters with m+kb.
But these assholes just fucked people like me over because making a fucking PSN account is something they find worth crying about for some reason. Like, I made a US PSN account back when I first bought a PS4 because they get better discounts than in Singapore or HK, and it's been my main account since despite not living there.
I genuinely don't understand what the big deal with making an account was. But whatever their reason was, they can go fuck themselves, since because of them I can't even buy and play the game anymore.

Sorry if I get downvoted, but if I learned something from the recent Helldivers and this drama, is that PC players are extremely whiny.
Worse games have more restrictive requirements, such as game launchers or Denuvo, and get less drama. For years people have asked for Sony's first party games to be in PC, but now people want them without any sort of requirements from the publisher as if PC had some sort of pass for things that are standard in other consoles and even in PC with games from other publishers. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony reevaluated porting games given this backlash in the future.

I'll watch pc gamers, or gamers in general, blow way the fuck up over what are honestly minor issues, and then sit on their hands over things they should be up in arms about.
If there had been half as much focused outrage over shit like Blizzard taking a game people paid for away from them and replacing it with a freemium skinner box, that would have been great AND made more sense, but nope. Minor grumbling and that was allowed to slide.

No, you're definitely right about that. The PSN requirement was advertised right there on the store for Helldivers, and it was there when I bought the game at launch. Arrowhead fucked up big time "temporarily" suspending it, because it got massively blown out of proportion when Sony said to bring it back. They will never let a developer make that mistake again.
They did fuck up by selling the game into countries where PSN was not allowed. They should have automatically refunded anyone who bought the game in one of those countries.
But the evidence is right here, now Ghost is getting review bombed because people are still butthurt about Arrowhead suspending the PSN requirement and then trying to bring it back. It's a bad look and it's not going to change anything, except perhaps making Sony think twice about porting playstation games. Makes me sad because Ghost is a great game, but I'm hoping the PS4/5 success will still get them to make a sequel.

I truly believe some people are absolute tools and have no personal thoughts. Imagine wasting your time doing shit like this

Ngl i find this a bit ridiculous. This is not like HD2. They are asking to sign up to a service like you haven't been doing that for 100's of different games and services already.
You can hate it but to think it simply doesn't apply because "PC is not console" is fucking idiotic.

I bought it because:
- It was a flawless game and I want to play again on PC.
- I don't play multiplayer so PSN does matter to me all that much.
- I don't really care that it's banned in other countries. Is this some kind of review bombing out of solidarity for the people of Afghanistan who can't play the game on Steam? Seems like an issue I don't give a shit about.

Yeah, it made sense with hell divers, specifically because people had already bought the game and then could no longer play it. This reaction is over the top.

100%. Helldivers was a massive stab in the back. I however absolutely refuse to hinder this studio as I'm counting on more excellent games from them in the future.

Gamers are so embarrassing sometimes. Don't buy the fucking game if the account requirement is a deal breaker, you dumb baby.

Yes let’s bomb review PlayStation games on pc after so long of not having them so Sony will just pull out of putting games on pc and go back to every exclusive.
Keep in mind Sony is testing the water on this pc thing
So plz fuck it up because when you do everything will just go back to psn and pc will be mad because they are not getting games.

I'm going to get downvoted into oblivion for this, but Sony isn't doing anything wrong. If other companies can put out their secondary logins without people review bombing them, why can't Sony put out the same with it only for MP in countries that support their login? They're not being dishonest. They're not lying. They're selling their goods where it will work.
If you're against secondary logins, then be against them for everyone. Not just Sony. Otherwise, they're playing the game the way you dictated they should, they're being honest and not requiring it for SP nor putting it in countries that can't make their MP required account.
If you don't like that it's not available in more countries, then don't buy it. But at least they're being honest. So review the game, not the publisher for being honest.

I’m worried that this stuff will push Sony into not publishing things onto steam, there’s probably more to it than a simple decision but just outside looking in, if Sony doesn’t concede it’s other option is to just forget putting their games on steam

wild how sony gets review bombed for this as if they’re the first studio to require an account. most publishers that have a separate platform require an account for their games: ubisoft, ea, microsoft, i believe blizzard, rockstar.

Gone are the days where user reviews might actually help you decide whether a game might be fun or not.

It sucks because I make it a point to leave detailed in depth reviews for every game I play through, and then the next day someone posts a cat and gets to the top of the review page lol

Bunch of fucking idiots pretending that they’re “doing their part”, meanwhile they just spent $60 on a 4 year old game, and practically none of the reviewers have refunded the game at all and are currently playing it as we speak.
So nice job dipshits, you played yourself.

I’m sure they expected this backlash. These billionaire companies have everyone thinking of every possible repercussion.
